Did you know JB was in the movie "Hook"?

How much do you know about Jimmy? There's probably something you don't know.

Did you know JB was in the movie "Hook"?

Post by phjrsaunt »

Neither did I! Saint Somewhere told me about this the other night, and I thought it was too cool not to share! :D Here is what he just sent to me:

SYNOPSIS

Director Steven Spielberg brings J.M. Barrie’s PETER PAN to the screen with a delightfully modernized twist. Forty-year-old Peter (Robin Williams) has grown up to be a workaholic lawyer with more affection for his cell phone than his wife and two children. When the family travels to England to visit Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith), Peter’s son and daughter are kidnapped by the villainous Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). Peter’s faithful pal, Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), helps him return to Neverland--"Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning"--to the world Peter has forgotten. There the Lost Boys welcome Peter back and try to get him in shape for his fight with Captain Hook. Peter must somehow remember his long-forgotten boyhood in Neverland and learn how to fly again before he can rescue his children away from the evil clutches of Captain Hook. Bob Hoskins costars as Hook’s right-hand man, Smee, and Gwyneth Paltrow, in her first film role, plays the young Wendy. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for John Williams’s "When You’re Alone."

TIDBITS

Theatrical release: December 10, 1991.

Several well-known celebrities can be spotted as rowdy pirates: musicians David Crosby and Jimmy Buffett and actress Glenn Close.

Dustin Hoffman's young son, Maxwell, played the five-year-old Peter.

Carrie Fisher was an uncredited screenwriter for the film.

I knew Phill Collins played the inspector, but completely missed seeing Jimmy. And wouldn't you know, that's one of the videos I left at my parents house when I left for college. :( Might have to go out to the WallyWorld and get a new copy!

St. S told me that you see him a crowd of pirates, near the beginning (?) and only for a split second. Hope that helps.

I knew he was supposed to play the "Shoe Stealing Pirate" but without freeze-frame capibilities I've never been able to confirm that. But we all know our boy is the perpetual pirate, so I have no doubt he's in there somewhere. I just don't think he's all that interested in SHOES, from what I've seen. :wink:

Up until now I didn't realize there was this additional link between JB and our Princess Leia, beyond I Love the Now, that is.

Well, I watched it again, this time on DVD and even with the zoom and freeze feautures, I couldn't tell for sure which one was Jimmy. Between the beards, eye patches and hats or bandanas, he could have been any one of them. :o (btw... That scene is about 30 minutes in to the flick, JFYI.)

David Crosby was pretty easy to spot, tho! He even had a couple of lines.

The Internet Movie Database lists JB, But he is uncredited. It is a little hard to tell, but I think that he is the pirate that you can see through Robin William's legs. I could be wrong and have errored a time or two in the past.
