For many a nice family movie from the prehistory of Hannah-Barbera, for another a movie with a story that is not suitable for children. In spite of everything The Flintsones is one of John Goodman’s movies to watch as a family, here we will tell you some things that you do not know or if you knew, we affirm
For the role of Fred Flinstone he thought of several actors like Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi among others, but Steven Spielberg who was the producer of the film wanted John since there was work with him in the movie Always, but if John did not accept the paper would cancel the film since Spielberg claimed that he was the one indicated for that role because of his body size and his resemblance to the character. So they contacted each other and John Goodman became Pedro for the movie
The famous scene of the landing to the troncomovil was recorded backwards. Yes, if it is, since John put on a harness and with a crane, the seated person moved as if he were leaving the troncomovil since in the image it is seen that the troncomovil roof is smaller than normal
The suit that we saw in the teaser trailer was modified since the director of the movie who was a fan of the cartoon, since he wanted it to be identical, as could be seen in the movie
John Goodman with the cast of The Flintstones participated in the video of the song of the movie “Meet the Flintstones” of the band B-52 in the same set where the film was recorded, where each character is seen playing an instrument ( John plays the bass since he knows how to play that instrument) also the band played the twitch song
After the box office success of the first movie, Universal Studio asked to start preparing the second part, but John did not accept, why? John was not convinced by the story, nor did he like that they put some characters that was not nice. Since the script they sent him was almost identical to the movie that is known as “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas”
In spite of everything John Goodman said that recording this movie was very nice, besides that it was the first live action movie of the prehistoric family, personally it is one of my favorite movies. What do you think?
