I got this movie the other day, not knowing Michael Jackson was in it, and turned it off about about ten minutes. I just found out he was in it! I don't want to rent the movie again..
When is he in it? How long for and everything? Is he good?
(I love MJ..)
lol
He's on the cover of the DVD and his name is credited big in the opening titles. So if you watched the first ten minutes then you knew that he is in it.
He shows up about half way through. he appears in a hologram, ala Obi Wan Kenobi in a scene riffing Star Wars. He also shows up again at the end. He's just in it for 5 mins or so. It would have taken about 10mins to shoot his stuff against a bluescreen on white wall or whatever the budget for this crapfest allowed. It's funny cos he is wearing a mask or big glasses at first but then he takes them off and there's a holy-sh&t moment where you're like.... "that's actually Michael Jackon" or Agent MJ as he is known in the film. I didn't notice him in the credits at the start. But i wasn't paying much attention. He is probably the best actor in the film, which isn't much of a stretch - and he just sits there and is obviously reading from a cuecard as his eyes look like they're shifted just left of centre.
yeah definitely don't hire it again for that. And if anyone is really curious about this movie at all search the web, surely someone's thrown up a clip of it by now. DON'T waste money. this is, as per what I said in another thread, The WORST movie I've ever seen. And I've seen a couple of Ed Woods films.
**EDIT**
I just read on wikipedia that this was shot at the Neverland ranch so that explains MJ. It also says that Jerry Lewis has a cameo. I didn't even notice him. God that's disheartening.
Omg, ok was it worse then Epic Movie? I still shudder from it. But it might be worth seeing if MJ is in it...I'm kinda tempted.
shareLove MJ as much as you want (which is justified given his music), but DO NOT watch this movie. His participation in this movie is discomforting. The movie is horrible, and his involvement in it, well... it does not exactly make him look sane.
shareHe did this as a favor to the director who was a friend of his.
shareMJ is in it at about (I was posting this on my facebook for fun so it's very coincidental you asked! I did not however find Anna Nicole Smith or Jerry Lee Lewis or Pat Morita like the Netflix cover told me)
MJ is at about
55 min
58 min
1 hr 8 min
1 hr 20 min
****Behind the scenes featurette shot at NEverland in 2004 (MJ looks pretty bad but is interesting and kind)
AND
****Vintage MJ Comedy Spoof written by the creator of this movie (spoof of MJ's pepsi commercial--I actually did laugh out loud at the end--it was good enough to be the real thing...well sorta;)
If you are really interested in seeing Michael, the behind the scenes stuff is really pretty good...99 cent rental or Netflix rental worth but definately not worth the price of a regular rental unless you have some friends together for funsies
