An exploding whale in the “Reno 911!: Miami” movie
Has anyone seen the new movie, Reno 911!: Miami? Apparently, the “Reno 911” crew blows up the carcass of a dead whale they find on Miami’s South Beach.
There’s a reference to it in the following Chicago Herald Newsinterview with two of the actors.
Dangle and Junior recounted the rest of their life-altering experiences from the Miami adventure — ranging from staying in seedy motels to coping with south Florida’s unrelenting humidity to hauling a dead whale’s carcass across South Beach.
Q. About that whale?
Dangle: Now, just so you know. That whale was totally, completely and ABSOLUTELY dead when we got there.
Junior: That’s right! There is no offense in blowing up something that was already dead. That dang thing was like 10 tons of rotting blubber. I thought blowing it up was a great idea!
Dangle: We expedited this beached whale from the place that it was at … to a different state. By a different state, I mean from a solid mass to a light mist of blubber that rained down over a rather large section of South Beach.
Junior: One piece actually did make it to a real different state — up there in Augusta, Ga.
Of course, you could also just go watch the trailer on the movie’s website! These still frames speak volumes:
I won’t be able to watch this until it comes out on DVD — and then it has to get through my Netflix queue — so if you’ve seen the movie, please post your comments. How long is the whale scene? Are there any verbal references to Oregon’s whale? Any other points of interest?
