- im3w1l 2y agoThank you for putting that image in my mind, it brought a smile to my face.
- linsomniac 2y agoI now always stay around in the movie theater to see who the sysadmins were that worked on the film, for solidarity reasons. :-) Pretty much all the movies these days have them, which I would have never imagined would be the case back in the '80s when I started this career path.
- xrisk 2y agoHuh I’ve never noticed a sysad credit in a credits roll. Are they labeled as something else?
- linsomniac 2y agoIt depends, sometimes yes sometimes no. Toy Story 2 says "systems administrators & support" for example: https://youtu.be/4rL_4Xqak1Y?si=R2ykfdSarIjjGDZP&t=288 https://youtu.be/4rL_4Xqak1Y?si=R2ykfdSarIjjGDZP&t=288
- Agentlien 2y agoThis is totally the case! The first time I was credited in a big production[0] I totally made my family watch the credits. Luckily, my name (Daniel Kvick) was quite close to the top. Unfortunately, in the next game I made them watch the credits[1] for my son's name in Production Babies. It is right at the end and the wait was embarrassingly long.

- xanderlewis 2y agoThat is a very Dad thing to say.
- brightball 2y agoThe swordsman in Indiana Jones comes to mind. The guy famously trained for months for the fight scene and a tired Harrison Ford just pulled out the gun and shot him. Everybody thought it was hilarious and that became the scene.
- HenryBemis 2y agoI remember hearing/seeing that "he had the shits" that day, and wanted to wrap-up the scene so he can go recover/rest. https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-swordsman-shoot-raiders-lost-ark-reason/ https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-swordsman-shoot-raiders... "It sounds wrong to say one should thank Ford’s sickness for one of the most iconic scenes, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is definitely better off for it." https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-raiders-lost-ark-gun-knife-fight-true-story/ https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-raiders-lost-ark-gun-kn... "A much more elaborate fight scene was planned, but Ford developed dysentery while filming in Morocco..."
