Movie Buff

**“***Hey there! Do you wanna know a movie fact?***”**
— **The Movie Buff's introduction**

The **Movie Buff** is a minor character in *Rewind Or Die*.

## Description

### Appearance

Movie buff is an overweight adult Caucasian man with short brown hair and is of unspecified height, weight, and age. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt with the words "Movie Buff" printed on in a white font, grey pants and black shoes. In his right hand, he holds a VHS movie, which upon closer inspection, is a copy of *Rewind Or Die*.

### Personality

The Movie Buff is a soft-spoken, if slightly eccentric, film enthustiast. As such, he is passionate about movies and knows a lot of movie facts. He seems easily excited and rather quirky, telling a random employee about his interests for no particular reason before making a dramatic exit.

### History

The past of the Movie Buff is, like his real name, unknown. It is likely that does the movie fact routine reguarly, considering how experienced he sounds.

## *Rewind Or Die*

The Movie Buff can be first seen inside the video store browsing, holding a VHS copy of "Rewind Or Die". He then appears at the cash register when Tony returns from the staff room, where he tells the clerk a bunch of facts about random movies. After he is done talking, he storms out of the store ninja style.

## Trivia

* The Movie Buff's voice actor, Anthony Rodden, passed away before *Rewind or Die*'s release. The game was dedicated to him.
* The way the Movie Buff leaves the store is a reference to the Naruto run meme.
* The Movie Buff never actually pays for his movie.
* The Movie Buff's movie facts are all based on actual details to real movies, their characters and actors, with parody names and varying accuracy, respectively to:
	+ *Halloween* (Hallows Eve), referring to Mike Myers (Micky Myers), whose mask really was based on a face imprint of William Shatner (William Shart), originally used in the movie *The Devil's Rain*.
	+ *Rocky* (The Rock Boxer), starring Sylvester Stallone (Sylvester Stallion). The mentioned chicken chase happened in *Rocky II*, where it is common said that filming it was so taxing on Stallone, that he once collapsed from exhaustion after failing to catch the chicken multiple times before finally succeeding.
	+ *The Godfather* (The Dogfather), where the cat Vito Corleone is seen holding in the opening scene was not initially in the script and featured when it was found as a stray around the studio, although not by a random producer, but by director Francis Ford Coppola himself.
	+ *Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh* (The Candy Woman 2: Farewell to the Honey), although the scene in question is in the original *Candyman*, in which the titular character, portrayed by Tony Todd, was covered in real bees instead of having post-production effects used, on the condition that for each sting, Todd would receive an additional 1,000$ to his pay.
	+ *Toy Story* (The Story of Toys), where the reverse was true, with the character Buzz having been called Lunar Larry in concept art before being named after astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
	+ *Titanic* (The Unsinkable Boat), directed by James Cameron (Jim Cameroon), though the approximate 2 hours and 40 minutes were the time the ship took to sink, having already been at sea for 4 days during its maiden voyade.
	+ *2001: A Space Odyssey* (3001: A Space Journey), published by MGM Studios (RBO Studios), which NASA has praised as being scientifically accurate, going as far as to use the movie's props as display examples at their headquarters and spacecraft museums.
