Watching “Boar” right now!

I’d strongly recommend against hunting any man who has armed himself with a MOAB. Besides, as pelts go … I don’t know. That one looks a bit … what’s the word?

haha!! Blast from the past!
I was called in as an extra for that pub scene about 1 minute before they started shooting. None of the other crew put their hand up when they needed an extra bum at the bar, except for me
🤣


The hat guy and the hairy guy at the end, along with most of the others in this scene were actual locals. The pub was Kandanga Pub, it burned down about 2 weeks after the shoot. There's a new pub there now, and it has the original 1/10th size pig maquette on display signed by the actors and a bunch of the crew.

The actor doing the speaking here is Chris Haywood, who also starred in Razorback. He came up with the famous line in that movie - "Wakey wakey, hands of snakey"

During this scene above, I was the only person who f@#ked up and looked directly at the camera during a take!! 🤣

Andy sourced the pig hair for the knife sheath, and elof_alv made the sheath for the awesome MOABOLO. There were 4 of them in the film - 2 real ones, and 2 aluminium stunt versions. There was also a silicone one made by the FX guys for the action scenes, which I now have in my possession :)
 
The job of Pig Wrangler actually gave me a hernia. The boar prop took 8 guys to manauever. I was helping one night and I felt a sudden hot searing pain in my abdomen. After moving said pig into position, I discovered a rather substantial bulge sticking out just above my belly button. Needless to say, I was off to hospital to have it repaired not long after wrapping the shoot. And the key grip banned me from lifting anything again, save for my camera.

Whoa! I can’t be the only one wanting to see some side by side pics, or even a video clip of a floppy MOABOLO.
 
I've periodically looked for this for a few years. Cool to see it's still alive and making it's rounds!

Yeah Rob! a nice flashy photo shoot would be noice!!! :D

…..you may need to translate that for the crowd Robbo.

Back in the 90s a good mate of mine from the US was out here visiting and we were walking down George St here in Sydney when he accidentally bumped into a young lady at a crossing. He immediately apologised to which she smiled and replied “no wuckers” he stood dumbfounded before asking me if she just swore at him because she was angry :D I have to explain the genesis of this salute.
 
I don’t know about Aussie slang, but I took it to be the equivalent of No Worries.
 
At my first Blade Show experience, I mentioned that I was planning on getting a bit 'pissed' at one of the Busse get togethers. Everyone thought I was going to be a cranky pants 🤣

I quickly explained that getting ' a bit pissed' meant getting a bit drunk.

.......I have had a number of moments in my travels through the US where what I say and mean are very different to the meaning attributed to me there. It may just be my voice but in several places I would try and order "a coke" with a meal and they just stared at me blankly.... also accent issues....two friends witnessed a funny exchange with me and a waitress in Sisters Oregon...

Me " I will have a coke with that please"
Her "I'm sorry a what"
Me "A coke please"
Her BLANK STARE
Me "Sorry it's the accent aaaa cooooke"
Her "A coyote"

NOTE AT THIS POINT MY TWO FRIENDS (BOTH LOCALS) ARE MELTING DOWN

Me "No, sorry a coke.....like Pepsi"
Her "Ohhhhhh sorry.....we don't have Pepsi......but we have Coke..."
Me "That would be great thanks"

Oh! You would like a Coke with your Coyote. No problem! One Coke & One Coyote coming up!

You mean every Aussie doesn’t want a Coke when they enjoy their Coyote?

What was I thinking?

It's because we normally order Dingoes and Andy obviously just got confused by the local customs.
