This was actually Harrison Ford improvising. There was supposed to be a long complicated battle where he used the whip to disarm the guy, but Harrison had dysentery and it was hot and he said “Hey Steven can I just shoot him?” and Spielberg liked it so much it went in the movie.
^ one among many epic improvisations by Harrison Ford. The most notable being “I love you” “I know” when the line was originally “I love you too.”
Raise your hand if you want the Boondock Saints All Saints Day directors cut to include Norman dropping the soap in the special features. HA!
This isn’t rocket surgery. You guys find the bad guys doing bad stuff and you kill them, right?
Today marks the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Loving v. Virginia, a landmark decision that struck down all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.
The case was brought by Mildred and Richard Loving – a black woman and a white man – who had been sentenced to a year in prison because their marriage violated Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statute.
Chief Justice Earl Warren penned the unanimous opinion, writing:
Marriage is one of the “basic civil rights of man,” fundamental to our very existence and survival…. To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State’s citizens of liberty without due process of law.
Today, as we await rulings from the Supreme Court on two historic same-sex marriage cases, we celebrate the Lovings’ landmark victory for equality.
