HOORAY! Greenbird, thank you so much for signing up to make this post!
Interesting that you mention a vibration causing the egg to fall because I don't remember that detail (but I also don't remember anything about the gun). Just to clarify, though, it's the pilot who goes to shoot Indy. The co-pilot is supposedly too "chicken" to do it.
You say that you've never read any "Temple of Doom" scripts or sketchbooks but have you read the novel? It has the scene. I believe that you've witnessed the egg, because I'm in thdon'tame boat, but would like to rule out any other possibilities of your memory.
Also, do you recall approximately WHEN you saw "Doom" in '84?
Perhaps...but this wouldn't egg-splain all of the people who saw it in Massachusetts, Australia, Canada, Germany and the Czech Republic.
Don't forget t. t there are *2* photos and they are both from opposisomewheregles so the camera was, indeed, being moved around for that shoot. Plus, the picture of the pilot pointing the gun is the same angle as a shot in the movie (
as I showed here - Cripes, that was 2 years ago!
).
Undoubtedly, extra stuff was filmed on the plane set that we have zero images of. One example is a deleted bit where Willie first goes to the open door at the back
before looking in the cockpit (
as I showed here). To my knowledge, there are no photos or footage of Willie alone at the open door but it's obvious that it was done and photographed. Another example is a few of the deleted scenes from "Doom" on the new Blu-ray documentary. They confirm that stuff was shot without any of the images ever surfacing anywhere before so, Henry W, I can't understand why you won't believe that the egg fall was even filmed.
If anybody reading this feels like getting really nerdy, can you please try to get in touch with Akio Mitamura (pilot) and Michael Yama (co-pilot) and ask them about it?
