My Top Five 80s Movie Intros...
1. Top Gun
Top Gun has one of the best 80âs movie opening scenes. It's got F14 jets taking off, the Top Gun anthem, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins playing and then straight into the action with Maverick and Goose.
In the film, Charlieâs old man date was the real life "Viper", Pete Pettigrew. He was a Top Gun instructor and retired Navy pilot, and served as the technical consultant on the film.
2. Rocky 4
I always loved the way Rocky 4 started; itâs basically just a re-cap of what happened at the end of 3, but starts with two giant boxing gloves crashing together and then cutting to the recap, and it has "Eye Of The Tiger" playing!
According to Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers really did not get along and got into an altercation during filming. Lundgren threw Weathers across the ring before it was broken up (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089927/trivia).
3. Transfomers the movie 1986
Sunny, You Goonie!
Heeyyy you guys!
Itâs been a little while since I submitted a guest post for TruffleShuffle, so I thought Iâd better make this one a really good one!
Well I donât know about you but there was clearly only one topic that I could talk about:
âThe Gooniesâ
Probably one of the best films EVER. You can quote me on that one too!
A few weeks ago, The Goonies was on one of the TV channels. Despite the fact that I have it on DVD and must have watched it at least a trillion times, I always get excited when it comes on. So much so I have to let all my friends and family know itâs on. You can't beat watching it live! :)
The Big Fat Weekend Sofa Movie Challenge
If like me, you're bored to the back teeth of trashy reality T.V then boy have we got a treat for you this weekend! Prepare to cosy up with us TruffleShufflers on the sofa and veg out big time out for a full on old school movie master class.
Yes, Iâve quite literally challenged myself to watch as many retro movies as possible over the coming weekend. Don't worry - I've only chosen movies available on freeview or terrestrial channels so everyone can join in with my square eyed extravaganza.
The amount of awesome movies on the old telly box is quite frankly incredible so here's my very own old school TV guide for your viewing pleasure!
SATURDAY 8TH OCTOBER
As most normal people donât get out of bed on a Saturday before Noon, I'm starting with James Bond Live and Let Die which is on ITV4 at 12:30 - 3:00pm!
Here's a taster of that famous crocodile scene to wet your appetite...
The day our all our Truffle Shuffle-ing dreams came true!
So for those of you who don't know, here at TruffleShuffle.com, we're named after the one and only TruffleShuffledance, as performed by the incomparable Chunk from The Goonies.......
Yes, our founder loved the iconic movie so much that when it came to coming up for a name for the site back in 2004, Chunk's classic belly shaking move was the only choice and hence TruffleShuffle.com was born.
With that in mind, you can imagine our absolute amazement to discover that none other than Jeff B Cohen AKA the man who played Chunk over 25 years ago is following us on twitter!
MENTAL!
We've even tweeted each other and were completely honoured to send him some of our official Goonies tees including this one of course....
