smozoma Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 http://www.slashfilm...mith-hit-parts/ When Kevin Smith said Hit Somebody would be his last film before retiring, he was only telling part of the story. Smith is currently in Canada touring Red State and at the post film Q&A in Montreal he told the audience that the hockey film, which he's long said would be his directorial finale, has become too big for one movie. Much as Quentin Tarantino did with Kill Bill, he's making it a two parter. If you haven't seen his movies, here are a couple hockey highlights: In Clerks, they close the shop at lunch time to play street hockey on top of the building. In Mallrats, there is a scene centred around a guy playing NHL All Star Hockey on the Sega Saturn. Kevin Smith wanted to use NHL94, but had to use NHL All Star for some sponsorship reason.. can't tell if he wanted SNES 94 or Genesis 94, but it sounds like SNES the way wikipedia tells it. Can't wait.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hopefully he doesn't botch it. Clerks was awesome, but most of the movies I've seen that he's done since have been terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm not that big of a fan of his movies (haven't even seen the last 5 or so), but I really enjoyed his "An Evening with Kevin Smith" lecture DVD. Really really funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smozoma Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thats cool I like Smiths movies. Aren't they playing NHL 95 in chasing Amy? No idea, never noticed! It's not mentioned online. Do you mean Mallrats? Apparently when you see it, it's NHL All Star Hockey on the Sega Saturn, but they switched the audio for NHL94? I'm not sure; I'll have to watch it again some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kupuck19 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 This should be epic! Clerks was an awesome movie (not the second one), can't wait for this.. If now only Kevin Smith would join nhl94.com after his retirement from film making... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trudatman Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song) He was born in Big Beaver by the border line He started playing hockey by the time he was nine His dad took the hose and froze the back yard And little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard He grew up big and he grew up tough He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks But he wasn't that good with a puck Buddy's real talent was beating people up His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up Through peewee's and juniors, midgets and mites He must have racked up more than three hundred fights A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon Son, we've always got room for a goon" There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared When Buddy the goon came over the boards "Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals" The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role, The fast guys get paid, they shoot, and they score Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for Protection is what you're here for Protection--it's the stars who score Protection--go on, kick somebody's ass Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just Hit somebody! It rang in his ears Blood on the ice ran down through the years The king of the goons with a box for a throne A thousand stitches and broken bones He never lost a fight on his icy patrol But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal He just wanted one damn goal There were Swedes at the the blue line Finns at the red A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? In his final season, on his final night Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot Twenty years of waiting went into that shot The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too And coldcocked Buddy on his followthrough The big man crumbled but he felt alright 'Cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light He saw that heavenly light There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Take care of your teeth; that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

smozoma Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Nah I think they play hockey in Chasing Amy. Affleck and Jason Lee. But i'm not sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_in_popular_culture Hockey has also been referenced many times in the series of movies known as the View Askew Movies, which were written and directed by Actor/Director/Writer/Hockey Fan, Kevin Smith. His first movie, Clerks, featured a street hockey game played on the roof of a store, however many of the players in the game wore ice hockey jerseys, including jerseys of the New Jersey Devils, Pittsburgh Penguins and the Soviet Union. Mallrats shows the character Brodie (Jason Lee) playing an ice hockey game on the Sega Genesis game console. Chasing Amy includes a scene in which Joey Lauren Adams and Ben Affleck attending a high school ice hockey game. Dogma did not feature ice hockey but included three street hockey playing teenagers as henchmen for a demon. More recent, Smith's film Zach and Miri Make a Porno features an rec league ice hockey scene, several Pittsburgh Penguins references as well as a scene outside Mellon Arena.

smozoma Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Man I could swear they played it in Chasing Amy. Is it Swingers they play NHL93 and Vince Vaughn plays with Roenick and injures Gretzky ? (classic scene) It's like they play 93 AND 94 because they talk about there being blood (93), but they took fighting out of the game (94). can't remember which game is actually on screen...

smozoma Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 'Superbad' writer's hockey comedy 'Goon' gets distribution deal http://sports.yahoo....urn=nhl-wp12406 trailer video in the link GOON is the story of Doug Glatt (Seann William Scott,), a dumb but loveable bar bouncer plucked from obscurity to be the enforcer for a minor league hockey team.In the tradition of great sports comedies like "Slapshot", GOON delivers bone crunching action and laughs in equal measure. Said Magnolia/Magnet President Eamonn Bowles: "GOON is a pucking blast. It's a complete crowd pleaser that has all the elements of a future comedy classic." Magnet plans an early 2012 theatrical release as part of Magnolia's Ultra VOD program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
