Re: Weird coincidences in movies?
Ever come across a movie or two and find some weird coincidences? I just realized Taron Edgerton was in a movie with Elton John (Kingsman: The Golden Circle), where they played the song “Rocketman” then years later plays him in the biopic that won him a Golden Globe. That’s some magic voodoo.
What others can you come up with?

I saw a movie in which someone was smoking a ton of pot, and then I thought to myself "Oldboy seems to smoke a ton of pot too!"

I keep whole files of these things. Here's just one: George Raft and Mae West died a day apart in 1980. Raft starred in the very first film West appeared in, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT (1932), and then also appeared in the very last film she made, SEXTETTE (1977).

OB started a thread on the same topic some 17 years later.- a weird coincidence in the Movie Forum!

More of a personal coincidence than a movie one, but last October I watched Friday the 13th Part 3, and the next day, I watched Murphy's Romance, a James Garner/Sally Field rom-com. In the movie, the family goes to the theatre, and the film they are watching is Friday the 13th Part 3.
And of course, there's what I consider one of the greatest string of coincidences related to movies/actors.

I mean at this point we're like those group of old guys that meet up for coffee every morning. We're going to repeat our discussions.

^^ I seem to remember there was an episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio where Bradley Cooper was in the audience an asked Robert DeNiro a question. He then went on to star with DeNiro in Silver Linings Playbook

Also, throughout the movie Walter repeatedly tells Donny "Shut the fuck up, Donny."... which is something we say many times each day when checking the news.
