I've made these movies a collection on my Plex/Jellyfin server. There's also The Rundown and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

Welcome to the Jungle movie collection poster

The Wonderful World of Rockslop.

I'm not going to pretend I don't find a few of these fun, but they're mostly bad movies in my opinion.

"Seen any good movies recently?"

"Just watched one, but I can't remember the title. It is starring Dwayne Johnson... with him in the jungle... actually it wasn't all that good though."

"Do you know how little you just narrowed that down?"

He's called "The Rock" because he has the acting talent and range of a rock.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Was much better before in The Rundown with Sean William Scott. One of my favs.

And his finishing move "The People's Elbow" was a nod to his socialist roots, fighting in the jungles of Cuba

[-] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

It all started with The Rundown. Before that, it was all desert, but I guess he didn't like the sand.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 days ago

Of course not. Don't you know where sand comes from?

Rocks.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The Rock knows. He's the one that crushed them into sand. It's how he earned his name.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

The Boulder feels conflicted.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, Riddick was pretty cool.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 10 points 2 days ago

I mean, once you get to the jungle you can just as well film 5 movies instead of one. If you organize it well you can reuse locations and minimize travel on site. Film scenes for all 5 movies in location one, move to location 2 and so on. You just have to keep track of the wardrobe changes.

The original Tarzan movies made use of footage from "Trader Horn" and other safari movies, as well as their own zoo.

[-] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oliver Laric was on to something

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

🤯 how did I never notice that before?

[-] HornyElf@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

And he is also wearing the same shirt in all of them

[-] not_IO 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

me when they say the rock had no range

[-] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

That one year, the rock didn’t leave the jungle and just pushed out movies

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

He certainly doesn't like to be typecast.

I actually sat through The Smashing Machine recently because I heard they'd actually got him to act in it, like Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. This was a complete lie, and it turned out they'd just put a wig on him.

[-] melisdrawing@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

I liked The Smashing Machine enough, but it was most definitely despite the rock, not because of him.
