Michael Jackson Meets Chunk
Here we see an image of one of the most iconic men of the eighties, Chunk, as he meets Michael Jackson. All joking aside, this is a peculiar picture considering that Michael Jackson never appeared in the film.
Also because of the fact that Michael Jackson didn’t even have a single work on the soundtrack. Not even in the original script was there a part for an appearance by the prince of pop. In fact, the only way Jackson was even involved with the movie in the least is in the fact that Chunk claims he (Jackson) came to his (Chunk’s) house to use the bathroom.
It seems that the way this peculiar picture happened is that director Richard Donner actually invited Michael Jackson over to the site of filming and he met the cast. So, it seems the picture was just taken during a visit from the celebrity.
Another peculiar way Michael Jackson is intertwined into the making of the film, there is also an interesting tidbit about a scene. While filming the scene in which the pipes burst on them, Donner couldn’t get the reaction from the cast that he was looking for. As a result of this, Donner told them that Michael Jackson would be watching the filming and that got exactly what he was looking for.
