For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.

you can learn about it here

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

If I recall correctly he'd already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn't.

I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn't fact check anything.

Here's a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.

“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

If that's not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don't know what is!

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

Maven@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 1y (8 replies)

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (5 replies)

Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I've ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?

dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

Maven@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.

I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action... and the second movie was hot garbage.

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Well that's exciting to hear! I'll definitely check it out now. Thank you!

I liked that he didn't look scary, but was very dangerous. There are a lot of real people like that.

Actually I'm imagining a heist movie where this guy's makes a scene as a diversion while Tom Cruise steals some jewels or something. I'd watch that.

You couldn't stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.

He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.

Original comic link: https://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/safely-endangered/ep-925-minority-retort/viewer?title_no=352&episode_no=925 (at a glance, it looks like it was the original artist who adapted it to be in a more social-media-friendly layout)

Considering it's not obscure, it makes it seem like you're trying to act pretentious about the subject of a simple comic. Not great optics for you.
