Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Mean Streets (1973): 1 line

  1. lineage (influence) · through Boogie Nights (1997), which they acted in: Mean Streets ⇒ Boogie Nights (the maker said so: the Boogie Nights commentary track). Per the commentary track, Anderson lifted images from Mean Streets, Goodfellas and other Scorsese films for Boogie Nights.
    “Paul Thomas Anderson explained how he just ripped off images he saw in Mean Streets or in Goodfellas”
    The Big Picture · The ‘Babylon’ Watch-Along · 0:24:42 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Michael De Luca: 1 line

  1. unmapped (gave break) · through Boogie Nights (1997), which they acted in: Michael De Luca ⇒ Boogie Nights (the host's read). De Luca ran New Line and gave PTA his break with Boogie Nights; now runs Warner's films division.
    “gave PTA his big break with Boogie Nights.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

The Rock (1996): 1 line

  1. theme (scrapped premise) · through Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), which they acted in: Beverly Hills Cop II ⇒ The Rock (the host's read). The abandoned England/Scotland Yard concept with Sean Connery became the backbone of The Rock a decade later.
    “initially written Beverly Hills Cop 2 to be Eddie Murphy in England, solving crimes with Sean Connery, actually, which basically, I think, winds up being like essentially the backbone for what the rock is 10 years later or whatever.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop II’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 1:00:18 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)
