Is there a website that lists the trademarksthat a director, Actor and Actress makes in every movie?

Quentin T. = Lucky Cigs
Nicholos Cage= Yells 1 line for no apparent reason.


Thanks

I believe Quentin Tarantino's trademark cigarette brand is called Red Apple, not Lucky's.

The imdb is your friend.

I stand corrected. They are "Red Apple" Cig's.

It is listed in the trivia section instead of the tradmark.

QT Trademarks

Josh-da-man

Steven Spielberg usually put a shooting star in a lot of his movies. Don't know if he still does.

Ahnuld "I'll be back."

Tafellappen

and broken families

John Woo loves his doves. I swear he could make Star Wars Episode VII: Chow Yun Fat Returns and he'd find a way to put some doves in there, flying through space.

I believe Uwe Boll's trademark is to make really bad video game movies. I don't think any other director has claimed a career based solely on that. At least Paul Anderson makes mediocre video game movies.

stuffs that i noticed:

chow yun fat = 2 guns (action movies only)
stallone = screaming with unny face
jerry bruckheimer = goldish/clowdy sky...
michael bay = shaky camera work & quick cut editing
robert de niro = the brooklyn/mafia accent
al pacino = yelling during speech
john carpenter = the music & 2:35 scope

also agree on john woo's dove

sundog

wow, no sense of history here. Nobody mentions one of the most prominent director traits in American movies?

Hitchcock's cameos

A little more nebulous but still noticeable:

Bunuel's foot fetish

Daytrip

or QT's

Pants

The opening titles of every Woody Allen film

cultshock

The ones I think about the most are QT's "truck cam" shots,, Woo's damn doves (even used in Peace Hotel, a movie he just produced, although some think he "ghost directed" it) and Raimi's Delta 88 appearances and "fake shemp" credits.

Numanoid

John Landis' "See you next Wednesday" line.

De Palma - split focus/diopter

Clooney - annoying head tilt

I see the imdb site, which I visit often, but I is somewhat "scattered" in the search of Trademark features,

I see that QT has alot of Tm's

Rivero

The Coen Brothers:


1) ALWAYS have at least one scene with a man of power sitting behind a desk

2) Re-use of the same actors; Jon Polito, Steve Buscemi, Frances McDormand, Bruce Campbell

3) Usually a distinct shot of the camera panning very quickly across a flat plane, be it a road, a wall, etc.

Wes Anderson always has an underwater shot in his films.

Mondo Kane

Argento:His hands are usually doing the killings
Peckinpah:Slo-mo sequence
Fellini: Dance sequence
De Palma:Often has a killer wearing sunglasses
Spike Lee:Has actors floating towards the camera
Terry Gilliam:Little people
Ken Russell:Snakes
Lucas:1138 (numbers)
Kubrick:114 (numbers)
Scorsese:His mom
Oliver Stone:His son

asianxcore

John Woo with his "birds sequence", 2 gun gunplay. A scene where the characters are in a situation where there is something between them before the shootout etc etc, the list goes on with this man

Drexl

Christopher Walken said on Conan that he tries to do a little dance (or just a dance move) in all of his movies-it's a nod to his musical theater background.

Mike Myers-Scottish accent (Shrek, Fat Bastard, the father in So I Married an Axe Murderer)

chente

Carol Burnett tugs on her earlobe at the end of every performance.

Rockmjd23

Sam Raimi always has his 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in his movies

Abranut

Mentioned already.

Thank You all for posting

I wish there was a web site (Imdb.com is too scattered) that had a list, though
