How would you go about doing the vomit effect
and the moving furniture? Its for a "COPS" parody. And also: Does anyone have any ideas of how I can coincide "The Excorcist" with
"COPS" in a funny way? I'd like any suggestions by this weekend if at all possible. One thing I thought of is the cop will stop in front of the house and be silhoutetted by the light like in "The Excorcist." Thanks. |

The moving furniture was done by pulling it on strings out of camera range.... you can lift the bed with an automotive floor jack... Dick Smith did the vomit gag with a manifold that fit into the doubles' mouth and was covered with make-up appliances... I suggest you just hide the tubing by turning the head away from camera... you can get a small pump that fits on a drill that will move the liquid... try any large hardware chain... |

True, but in the end the shots with the vomit appliance (which was, as you say, fitted to another actress, who didn't really look like Linda Blair) weren't used. Friedkin used a matte shot instead.[This message has been edited by Mister Twisted (edited 02-08-2000).] |

Just an idea. Have the old priest and the young priest be running some kind of crack house or another illegal operation....The cops raid it, find the possesed kid....could be funny. |

it'd be funny if the cops ran in right after shed been exorsized, and the devil is flying or running around. the cops chase him and get him down on the floor. he gets whiny and they tell him to shut up. ------------------

Do your movie just like you see on TV! You know with the camera in the front or back seat of a cruiser! Then have the the officer respond to a disturbance call! When the police arrive to the scene in question, include ghostly effects around the roof and windows of the house (Like the goofy looking ones in Ghost Busters)The rest I'll leave up to your imagination! |

If you're going to have the exorised demon running around, and get arrested, I think he should be in tradtional cops cloths (wife beater/no shirt, beer bottle, bald, really out of shape).
Just a thought |

That's a funny idea!
"what seems to be the problem ma'am?"
"there's no problem here. it's just. . ."
"Ma'am, someone called 911 and said there was a posessed little girl in here now. . ."
"I ain't called and said nothin' about none of that"
"Ma'am, can we come inside, we'd like to talk to you for a moment."
"No, I ain't gonna have ya'll comin' in my house and. . ."
(background)
"Souls! I'll have your souls!"
(cops push their way inside)
"You leave my li'l Regan alone! You hear!"
(cops draw guns)
"Put your hands up! Do it!"
"I'll devour your souls and send them to. . "
"Do it now, A$$hole! Do it!"
(in a demonic voice)
"What? What'd I do? I didn' do nuthin'!"
"Put your hands up!"
(Regan vomits and runs away)
"Officer down,in pursuit, suspect is a white female, about 5'6"; uh, ratty blondish hair, festering boils, suspect is armed with projectile vomiting, repeat, suspect is armed with projectile vomit! Request backup!"and so on and so forth. ------------------

To create the vomit affect the simply run a tube around the actress\actor to the side of the mouth (like when you pretend you swallow something really big) then pump pea soup through it till it sprays out!!! [This message has been edited by Bikus Dikus (edited 02-13-2000).] |

So, I could stick pea soap down a garden hose and rely on water pressure to pump it out? Thats what your saying. I was thinking I would bend the hose a moment and fill the pea soup, then at the last moment I'd let it go --Uggggghhhh; chunks EVERYWHERE! Thanks, everyone. I think I have enough to begin production. |
