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.

58 Minutes (1987): 1 line

lineage (source material) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they were tied to as proposed recast for TV reporter: 58 Minutes ⇒ Die Hard 2 (the host's read). The screenplay was adapted from Walter Wager's 1987 novel with a similar plot.
“Screenplay was adapted from Walter Wagers.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:19:50 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)

Industrial Light & Magic: 1 line

industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they were tied to as hypothetical Jo: Industrial Light & Magic ⇒ Twister (the host's read). The movie was built out of an ILM proof-of-concept clip of a pickup truck driving toward a tornado.
“It was a proof of concept clip from Industrial Light Magic”
The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 0:11:39 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Jaws (1975): 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through Twister (1996), which they were tied to as hypothetical Jo: Jaws ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Jonas is the Jaws-mayor archetype, a money-motivated antagonist that became a stock character in every movie.
“The mayor in Jaws is the character that kind of pushes against our lead person.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 0:54:51 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Jurassic Park (1993): 1 line

industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they were tied to as hypothetical Jo: Jurassic Park ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Marketing a disaster around unknown leads follows Jurassic Park, where Sam Neill and Laura Dern were known but not famous.
“coming off of Jurassic Park where it was like Sam Neil and Laura Dern were like well-known, but not famous.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:53:21 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Manuel Noriega: 1 line

lineage (real-world inspiration) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they were tied to as proposed recast for TV reporter: Manuel Noriega ⇒ Die Hard 2 (the maker said so: the screenwriter admitted it). The writer admitted the script grabbed smoke from Iran-Contra and Manuel Noriega.
“there's definitely some Iran Contra, kind of, they're just grabbing smoke from that whole scandal and shoehorning into this with Manuel Noriega in real life.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:20:16 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)

Speed (1994): 1 line

industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they were tied to as hypothetical Jo: Speed ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Hollywood shifted after Speed; Twister marketed Paxton and others as future stars.
“The one that changed it was speed.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Tombstone’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:54:13 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Positive K: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they were tied to as proposed recast for TV reporter: Die Hard 2 ⇒ Positive K (the host's read). Positive K's song 'I Got a Man' samples a line from Die Hard 2, so the song now brings the movie to mind.
“And then that line got sampled on, I got a man, the positive K song. So now every time you hear that song, you hear that line from that movie.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:43:06 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Titanic (1997): 1 line

industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they were tied to as hypothetical Jo: Twister ⇒ Titanic (the host's read). Twister started a playbook of putting not-yet-A-list leads in a spectacle, which Titanic and later Star Wars followed.
“It became a playbook for it.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:54:01 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)
