r/TenaciousD

I heard Godzilla's roar, so is it an older godzilla, or a random movie?

I am wondering because I am trying to watch all of the older godzilla movies, and am wondering if I missed anything

Anybody know or remember this ones origin? I know it's quite old. Bootleg?... might be it came with a a dvd? Was looking for a few old tees to cut the sleeves off for working outside in the summer

Hey all,

​

So I was rewatching the Tenacious D series and in the second segment of the third episode, there is a featured extra during their opening performance who happens to be featured again when Paul asks them to play the road gig.

​

During the first scene, I went, "That guy looks so familiar, weird." But the second scene, it hit me: that dude looks exactly like Paul Thomas Anderson. Height checks out, facial features, and hes dead center of the frame, too.

​

The connective tissue is there: PFT was cast in MAGNOLIA thereafter, John C. Reilly was in HARD EIGHT and BOOGIE NIGHTS, which was likely filming in L.A. around the time the D Show was filming, and PTA has long had ties to the LA comedy scene. But I can't find anyone having ever asked about this to either the D or PTA.

​

Can anyone confirm or deny? Anyone lurking here know anyone who worked on the production of the show? Has PFT ever talked about it?
