'Spose they used real sailors for extras?

Our Man Flint. At the end of the movie he takes the four women and sticks them all in 55 gallon oil drums. Locks the lid on and throws them in the river and they go out and over the waterfall and fall down into the ocean.

 

And they are rescued by a boat full of sailors from a destroyer.

And I could not help but notice how that one sailor was helping the girl in the red bikini out of the drum.

In Tom Hanks’ movie Capt Phillips they used an actual corpsman.

When other sailors asked if they had seen her before she just said “I have a familiar face.”

Makes one wonder where his left hand is.  :P

As the scene continued, and he lifted the girl up out of the drum and rotated to his left so that she could swing her legs over the gunwhale and put her feet on the deck, that right hand never moved.

 

If I was lifting someone up 6 or 8 inches, as he is, and I had my right hand placed where he did - which might feel good but would not give me a whole lot of lifting purchase - I believe I would have my left hand on her left butt cheek.

A coworker of mine Floyd Woodward was in the Navy in 1963 and was used as an extra in "PT-109".

Left hand on butt cheek is not that easy to hold, under crotch would be better.

In the movie "Deep Impact" (which is NOT a porn film) They hired every actor they could get to be a huge crowd (1993, before CGI) and found there was nobody left to play the Army.  So they hired the Army to play the Army.  In the theater I had 3 seconds of screen time but I was edited out of the DVD release.

I didn't want the $400 for being an extra, I wanted to keep the props.  The real rifle, backpack and armor plates weigh over 60 pounds.  The props weighed about 3.
