Ricks in the Movies

[ccollette]

Brainwave hit me a few days ago while I was watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Why not compile a list of movies with Ricks in them.

Here's the 1st -

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - Rickenbacker 4003 fireglo

[ccollette]

Magical Mystery Tour - Rickenbacker 4001 (Paul's modified 4001 fireglo with spray paint)
Give My Regards to Broad Street - Rickenbacker 4001 (Paul's modified 4001 in natural finish)

Just realized I could have put this in another section of the forum... oh well.

That Thing You Do - vaguely recall seeing a Ric 12 in this, though not sure which model.

You'll see some RIC 360/12C63's coming up in this production called "Twilight Zones":

Lots of stuff... could do a whole website on the topic...Model, who the owner is, where is it now?

As an aside, for those of you who've not seen the Scott Pilgrim movie, there is a scene where there are "dueling basses" - the Rickenbacker vs a Fender Mustang. The Mustang, I believe, belongs to Chris Murphy of Sloan who worked as a guitar consultant on the film (Sloan's Jay Ferguson plays a Rick - don't know why Patrick Pentland never picked one up). Also, the dueling bass music is credited to Neigel Godrich, who produced McCartney's "Chaos & Creation' album.

Ooh.... we could do a game of "Six degrees of Rick-aration".

I know,the title of the game is terrible... it's late and I'm not very creative right now.

Here's a strange one...

Sammy Davis Jr. "playing" a 325 in a '68 picture called "Salt And Pepper".
