Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Tony Scott - The 1990s

In 1990, Scott returned the Simpson-Bruckheimer fold to helm the big-budget auto racing saga Days of Thunder. Once again directing Tom Cruise in a tale of a talented-but-reckless young man who must master his emotions as well as his machinery, the similarities to Top Gun did not go unnoticed. Unlike its predecessor, the film was a box-office disappointment when released in the summer of 1990. Scott's next film, The Last Boy Scout, faired little better, its grim, downbeat tone (with notable overtones of misogyny) a ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - True Romance - The Sicilian scene

The movie features a scene between Dennis Hopper (as Worley) and Christopher Walken (as Vincent Coccotti, legal counsel for a gangster named "Blue Lou" Boyle) where Coccotti is questioning Worley as to the whereabouts of his son. Worley brings up the history and ancestry of Sicilians. Worley is allegedly quoting history on the claim of Sicilian people having black ancestry, or, as Hopper puts it in the movie, "Sicilians were spawned by niggers." This scene has been nominated by Tarantino himself (on the True Romance Unrated Directo ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Grand Theft Auto series - History

The Grand Theft Auto series may be divided into eras, based on the inclusion of a numbering after the recognizable title name (e.g. Grand Theft Auto III) after the original Grand Theft Auto's release, and to a certain extent, the type of graphics engine used.

The first title in the series, Grand Theft Auto, appeared on the PC and PlayStation in 1997 as well as a reduced Game Boy Color port, and subsequently two expansion packs were ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Masked and Anonymous - Quotes

"Would you reach out your hand to save a drowning man if you thought he might pull you in?" Edmund: There will be no more stupidity. There will be no more mistakes. It's a new day. God help you all. Jack Fate: I was always a singer and maybe no more than that. Sometimes it's not enough to know the meaning of things, sometimes we have to know what things don't mean as well. Like what does it mean to not know what the person you love is capable of? Things fall apart, especially all the neat order of rules and laws. ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Darwin Awards - History

Darwin Awards have circulated for a long time as emails. The Google Usenet archive shows two early mentions of the Darwin Awards, one dated 1985-08-07 Vending Machine Tipover, which wasn't mentioned on Usenet again until it was referenced in the 1990-12-07 version of the JATO Rocket Car.

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Tony Scott - Pre-filmmaking years

Born in Stockton-on-Tees in the farmlands of Northern England, Tony Scott's first foray into filmmaking was not from behind the camera, but rather in front of it. At the age of sixteen, Scott appeared in Boy and Bicycle, a short film marking the directorial debut of his then-twenty-three-year-old brother Ridley. He followed in his older brother's footsteps, studying at art schools in West Hartlepool and Sunderland, the latter for a fine arts degree. He subsequently graduated from the Royal College of Art, fully intending to become a p ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Masked and Anonymous - Symbolism

There is much symbolism in the film that has yet to be seriously discussed. Almost universally bad reviews stalled any possible discussion of what place this film holds in the corpus of Dylan's work. On one hand, the film is political: it describes how Dylan sees the political landscape (people fighting for no reason, a nation without hope, governments that can not be trusted) but at the same time Dylan makes it clear that "he is only a singer and maybe nothing else." He produces no solutions to any of the problems the film presents. Rather, he makes it clear that he "stopped ...

Chris Penn: Encyclopedia II - Reservoir Dogs - Influences

Tarantino is well-known for his encyclopedic knowledge of cinema, and Reservoir Dogs is liberally influenced by numerous films, particularly Hong Kong action cinema, French New Wave, the heist film and Samuel Fuller. These influences can be seen in everything from the suits the characters wear (inspired by the finale of John Woo's A Better Tomorrow II, itself possibly inspired by the Blues Brothers), to the colour code names from The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, to Tierney's line about John Dillinger (he played the famous Indiana ba ...

The actor was found dead in his Santa Monica condominium on January 24, 2006. Investigators suspect Penn's death was the result of natural causes or an accident.
