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.

Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes): 3 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). Vanilla Sky is nearly the same story as the Spanish original, except the hero is a magazine magnate friends with Spielberg.
    “So the film is actually pretty much exactly the same as Abri Lozojos, except for the main character of that movie is not a magazine magnate who's friends with Steven Spielberg.”

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). The ending follows the original beat for beat, down to the jump and the 'open your eyes' last line.
    “Yeah, again, it's how Abri Lo Sojos works to a T down to him jumping and open your eyes, like being on last lines.”

  3. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). The Spanish film has the same beats, and the protagonist's face looks even worse in it.
    “But it's like the movie's beats are exactly the same down to the, you know, crucial moment of him like lying in the gut.”

Open Your Eyes (1997): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Open Your Eyes ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). Cruise adapted Abre los Ojos into Vanilla Sky, a bold move he does not make today.
    “adapted Aubrey Los Ojos into Vanilla Sky”
    The Big Picture · The Tom Cruise Hall of Fame · 1:09:45 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Roger Corman film: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Fast and the Furious (2001), which they acted in: Roger Corman film ⇒ The Fast and the Furious (the host's read). The first film borrowed its title from a 1960s Corman exploitation movie.
    “it borrowed its title from a somewhat well-known Roger Corman exploitation movie from the 1960s”
    The Big Picture · ‘Fast 9’ and the ‘Fast & Furious’ Rankings · 0:08:08 · Sean Fennessey (0.90 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Mission: Impossible (1996): 1 line

  1. lineage (franchise influence) · through The Fast and the Furious (2001), which they acted in: The Fast and the Furious ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The modern MI films combine Bourne-style hand-to-hand combat with Fast and the Furious over-the-top action.
    “the 2 biggest influences on Mission Impossible are born in the Fast and the Furious.”

Old School (2003): 1 line

  1. unmapped (groundwork) · through There's Something About Mary (1998), which they acted in: There's Something About Mary ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Farrelly brothers hits like Mary laid the ground for Road Trip and the R-rated wave.
    “All of those kind of laid the ground for, uh, road trip.”
