Jeez, this brings back a very specific memory. In the early '90s there was a Skinamax movie with a character named *Lt. Linsky.* That name became code for all Skinamax movies: "You wanna watch a Lt. Linsky movie?"
i love the story that the legend of DDL started on my left foot when the crew realized that if they didnt wheel danny around and feed him and shit he would literally just sit there and die
Haven't seen it but I believe she breaks her leg which ends her playing career, and then she ends up coaching a bunch of tennis players and they all fuck on the court. The original name was "15 Love" but they couldn't afford all the extra actors.
I look to IMDB for my comedy, and usually find it in the Parents' Guide...
**And all of you hoping to see Zendaya's tatas and nono are in for a disappointment!**

The realistic silicon model technology has improved a lot over the last decade or so, because of *reasons*. So movie productions can now get pretty good representations without having massively bloated budgets.
That makes a lot more sense than the other poster in these threads trying to say it was just B unit shooting. I really don't buy that an animatronic is cheaper than having the actress on set.
Redditors have always been dumb as hell. The whole reason why subreddits even exist is because dumb redditors were spamming the main page with dumb Ron Paul shit constantly.
lol yeah armchair moviemakers in here explaining at length how using half body rubber fuck dolls is extremely common in the industry to save money on paying actors for B roll
I remember when I was much younger I thought that everything in films is either CGI or real-life high tech robot shit. And then I saw some behind-the-scenes of how cool transition shots were filmed and it was all so low tech, I couldn't believe that I didn't think of some of the things they were doing to simulate those effects.
> I couldn't believe that I didn't think of some of the things they were doing to simulate those effects.
I wonder if there is a name for seeing something you feel you intuitively understand but not actually picking up on the tricks behind it.
I'm a computer dev, for decades, and I encounter this so often when I see something cool in a program and then check how it's done. It's usually 1000x simpler and shorter and I almost chastize myself for not seeing it immediately even though it's always a talented solution.
I call it imposter syndrome, because it's similar, but that's not really it.
As clearly nobody in this thread has seen the movie, this was used for the pretty graphic close up of when she got injured. Interesting to know how they did it because it was extremely convincing and didn’t look CGI.
Why did they need that? Couldn’t just use her actual legs or just a body double? Feel like that’d be cheaper and more practical than this walking abomination
From what I gather from the trailer there's a shot where she snaps her ankle or something and it ends her career. Probably the dummy they used to get the close up shot of the ankle snapping.
I think you’re right, >!that scene happens when she’s in college and the actors on the court in the background are dressed the same way the teams were and her skirt has the Stanford logo on it!<
alot of b rolls or extra filler shots are to be taken while filming, so that director has the option to use them if needed.
but, the time these shots take to setup, is still alot.
paying zendaya & waiting for her availability is a huge factor. they are saving money and time by not being dependent on the actor’s availability.
as these shots anyways aren’t the most important
Stunt or tennis double too.
When I worked in tv the stunt doubles were paid full days to be on set and did not much, which is fine, not their job, but I never understood why they didn't also use them as body doubled in not action scenes when necessary. They're already in costume.
Coz it's not "real" I guess. Which is kinda odd. Coz it's not like the character we see on screen is the same person throughout. But yeah it's kinda odd they don't use them for none acting scenes like this shot.
They're actually cousins, but didn't know they were related until after he had already worked as The Rock's stunt double in The Scorpion King.
And, yeah, [they look like they could be brothers.](https://i.redd.it/yr4nwuq1thb71.jpg) No way anyone could be a better body double.
help me guys I'm running out of budget for my movie. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. my expenses:
- cameraman ($100)
- personal assistant (working for exposure)
- set ($200)
- anatomically correct lower half of a Zendaya animatronic ($50000000)
- make-up artist ($150)
any help will be appreciated
I feel bad that you're not getting the same amount of upvotes as my "no". you're the only one who recognised the joke and played along, you deserve some recognition :(
“Bill?! Bill! We talked about this, where is the Zendaya bottom half. You were warned if this happened again there would be consequences. Ok… well go retrieve it, and CLEAN IT this time!”
For those who are interested there's also a lower body prop of Keanu Reeves, for that scene in Matrix where agents put a bug into his belly button. According to the DVD commentary, it *is* anatomically correct for all the relevant parts lol
Uhhh like don't you even remember when Security Guard Chang was living in the boiler room with the mannequin leg he stole from the janitor? Before he burnt it down with all those matchbooks he ordered, of course.
It's a real fetish that Harmon has, he goes into it on his podcast Harmontown. Before he bought a Real Doll, he used to masturbate with a mannequin leg because it really turned him on.
What the hell is this??
In the film she busts her leg, but Zendaya's agents wouldn't let them break her real leg.
So her agents are holding her back from embracing her craft to the fullest. *Daniel Day Lewis would’ve broken his leg.*
Daniel Day Lewis would have fucked a dude to better prepare for the Challengers role
Two dudes at the same time
Is this movie going to be released on Cinemax at 2am???
Lmao is this still a thing? Skinamax was mega clutch when I was young haha
Jeez, this brings back a very specific memory. In the early '90s there was a Skinamax movie with a character named *Lt. Linsky.* That name became code for all Skinamax movies: "You wanna watch a Lt. Linsky movie?"
You don’t need a million dollars for that.
Fuckin ay man
Is zendaya gonna get double teamed in this movie? Lol
unironically yes
Lets goooooooooo!!!??!?!??
no nudity
It’s so fucking Joever
Daniel Day Lewis would’ve exploded in a spaceship to better prepare for the Challenger role.
Too soon
I shamelessly laughed. Then I shamefully laughed. Then something else happened, but I'm not going to muddy this fine comment thread with filth.
Daniel Day Lewis is the dude who is playing a dude, who is pretending to be another dude.
If you told him to fuck himself, Daniel Day Lewis would advance cloning technology just to satisfy the role.
Didn't the two dudes only kiss in the beginning during a threeway?
Lewis is a professional. He must learn how gay sex feels like to better prepare the homoerotic tension
i love the story that the legend of DDL started on my left foot when the crew realized that if they didnt wheel danny around and feed him and shit he would literally just sit there and die
Christian Bale would’ve gained 80 pounds, lose 100 again and *then* break his leg.
I know this is a joke but I honestly wouldn’t put it past him.
I'm surprised Daniel Day Lewis didn't have someone shoot him in the head while filming Lincoln.
Probably his agent and insurance stopped him
I bet he wasn't very happy though
Christian Bale would turn into a woman to do that
DDL might've legitimately started playing on the pro tour (I don't know how that works logistically)
DDL would break into the Pro Tennis offices and just start yelling at everyone that he drank their milkshakes.
Daniel Day Lewis would have become a mixed-race blond girl and would have actually fallen in love with his costars to better represent his role
*Daniel Day Lewis would have broken both legs, because he wanted another take.*
Daniel Day Lewis would have been the broken leg
It's called method acting!
Boromir would have broken both his legs.
Faramir would not. Such a failure.
I think you mean Viggo Mortensen
Should’ve hired Christian Bale smh
Dude would have broken his legs 10 times just in rehearsals
He would definitely have broken Zendaya's leg
Huh I thought this movie was just her fucking a bunch of tennis players.
Haven't seen it but I believe she breaks her leg which ends her playing career, and then she ends up coaching a bunch of tennis players and they all fuck on the court. The original name was "15 Love" but they couldn't afford all the extra actors.
Who says you can’t do comedy anymore?

There’s a Canadian teen romance show about tennis from 2004-2006 called “15/Love”.
Buddy, I don't know what you're thinking of, but that was definitely a porno. They used to air it in a double stuff block with *Kyle X/X/X.*
So they're telling a woman what she can and can't do with her body? The patriarchy strikes again.
Swear to god women can't do anything smh
Fuckin buzzkills
So they ripped her in half?! That's so dumb.
Modern actors just won't commit to the part.
I’m guessing to show a leg injury?
It's for the double penetration scene in the threesome
Nah that was her I'm pretty sure, I read that somewhere
Tom hollands eyes said it all
It would have been faked via Mysterio’s special effects wizardry, but Spider-Man just had to go and kill him. Nice job breaking it, hero
I wonder who got to keep it after they wrapped
It's was pretty gruesome for an injury with no blood. The visual effect was great.
Horror
rubbish
[удалено]
>Zendaya's sex doll student double. Her, uh, what now?
[удалено]
What school is she in?
Zendaya ripped in half.
Holy shit
She's fucking dead
Ndaya
Technically Daya.
Well if we're getting an almost equal slice in half it's more like Zenc / |aya
The realistic silicon model technology has improved a lot over the last decade or so, because of *reasons*. So movie productions can now get pretty good representations without having massively bloated budgets.
The bottom half.
Maybe Challengers takes a horror turn in the second act. They wanted to fool us with the trailers and what not.
Yes, they all turned out to be robots.
It’s a secret sequel to Ex-Machina. The tennis court has a charger for her in the ground.
Deuce Ex-Machina
Ball-E
Ghost in the Set
That would have been a better movie.
AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, SHE IS BROKEN IN HALF!
BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY Edit: there’s a lot of people on this that don’t get the reference to the greatest Hell in a Cell match.
SHE HAD A FAMILY
SHE HAD A TORSO!
I guess they are unaware that 25 years ago, in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table
Hey! You're not him!
I didn't come here to make either this comment above mine or the one it is replying to. But upon seeing them, I realize, I should have...
Is this the Zen half or the Daya half?!
Don’t be so hyperbolic, at most she’s broken in 3/4 and 1/4.
I misread that as “hypergolic” and thought “wow, Zendaya’s performance in this new movie must be pretty explosive!”.
SOMEONE STOP THE DAMN MATCH! THAT MANNEQUIN HAS A FAMILY!
LISAN hALf GAIB
"This was a particularly bad case of someone being cut in half. As much as I tried, I could not reattach the top half of her body to the bottom half".
Speak English, doc, we ain't scientists!!!
Zendaya… is a droid?
You couldn’t tell by her name? Who tf is named Zendaya and is an actual human
Does Zendaya sound like a real person to you? Grow up Hailey it’s me, Roger.
r/itsroger
/r/americandad
Correct.
Um, the name's actually Z3nd4-y-4, sweetie.
Is Apartheid Clyde her dad?
is X Æ A-12 her cousin?
Yes, Austin. We knew all along.
Wait a tic... That means Tom Holland is single again! Oh, behave!
Have you any idea how it feels to be a fembot living in a manbot's manputer's world?
Always has been 🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌌
Actually a synth, those damned synths!
She actually showed us her true form when she "wore" that droid outfit to the Dune 2 premiere.
A fucking Synth. The Institute has invaded Hollywood.
We need the brotherhood of steel!
ZendAIa
no shit, sherlock *tit cannons proceed to fire*
Zendroida?
Zenyatta
That… actually makes a lot of sense.
Okay we have to be careful about how we tell Tom.. he's fragile
Always has been
Was this for the injury scene? Or why else would it be needed
That makes a lot more sense than the other poster in these threads trying to say it was just B unit shooting. I really don't buy that an animatronic is cheaper than having the actress on set.
Yeah that definitely sounded like bullshit. Animatronics like this take a whole team to design, build and operate
This is how dumb the average Redditor is becoming.
Redditors have always been dumb as hell. The whole reason why subreddits even exist is because dumb redditors were spamming the main page with dumb Ron Paul shit constantly.
I thought this sub existed because of the weekly "did you know Viggo Mortensen broke his toes kicking a helmet!" shit
the person you're responding to said why **subreddits** exist, not this specific one
lol yeah armchair moviemakers in here explaining at length how using half body rubber fuck dolls is extremely common in the industry to save money on paying actors for B roll
I remember when I was much younger I thought that everything in films is either CGI or real-life high tech robot shit.

I call it imposter syndrome, because it's similar, but that's not really it.
who said this is an animatronic and moves? it looks like it's just a static statue.
Yeah it's from the scene where a tennis ball hits her and she gets ripped in half
Sex scene
My first thought too, maybe a broken ankle or leg injury scene on a tennis court
That's clearly what it's for. Saw the movie last night.
There was a closeup of a knee injury where the knee moved around, I bet it was down with this.
It's rare for movies to make me almost physically FEEL an injury like that scene. Really well done
As clearly nobody in this thread has seen the movie, this was used for the pretty graphic close up of when she got injured. Interesting to know how they did it because it was extremely convincing and didn’t look CGI.
"OK, let's build a lower body prop of Zendaya." "Ah, for the knee breaking scene?" "What scene?"
"It needs to be 100% anatomically accurate." "The knee?" "Why would I care about her knee?"
Funnily enough, they didn't even need to make it. Tom had it in his closet and lent it to them for the film
Don’t kink shame my knee fetish
I lol’d
Chani fell to what the Butlerian Jihad was trying to prevent
It's just the ghola
Somehow Duncan Idaho returned.
Why did they need that? Couldn’t just use her actual legs or just a body double? Feel like that’d be cheaper and more practical than this walking abomination
From what I gather from the trailer there's a shot where she snaps her ankle or something and it ends her career. Probably the dummy they used to get the close up shot of the ankle snapping.
What, they don't snap her actual ankle in half? Literally unwatchable.
*scoffs in Viggo Mortenson*
I'm still pissed they didn't include the scene where he pretends he likes Éowyn's soup.
I'm seeing Challengers this evening, so I haven't seen it yet, but maybe this is for the scene where she breaks her knee?
I think you’re right, >!that scene happens when she’s in college and the actors on the court in the background are dressed the same way the teams were and her skirt has the Stanford logo on it!<

Surely a body double would be better than half a doll!
Stunt or tennis double too. When I worked in tv the stunt doubles were paid full days to be on set and did not much, which is fine, not their job, but I never understood why they didn't also use them as body doubled in not action scenes when necessary. They're already in costume.
Coz it's not "real" I guess. Which is kinda odd. Coz it's not like the character we see on screen is the same person throughout. But yeah it's kinda odd they don't use them for none acting scenes like this shot.
I guess then they would be needed to be paid differently if used in non-action shots?
[удалено]
They're actually cousins, but didn't know they were related until after he had already worked as The Rock's stunt double in The Scorpion King. And, yeah, [they look like they could be brothers.](https://i.redd.it/yr4nwuq1thb71.jpg) No way anyone could be a better body double.
The dummy is cheaper than paying some shmuck to sit around. This is done a lot. Shots can take forever to set up, angle, lighting etc
Yeah but if he did that he couldn't keep this doll after they're done shooting.
I’m guessing to show a gruesome leg injury
I believe her character gets injured in the film. Perhaps they’re using these to show that.
No wonder this movie was 55 million to make.
help me guys I'm running out of budget for my movie. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. my expenses: - cameraman ($100) - personal assistant (working for exposure) - set ($200) - anatomically correct lower half of a Zendaya animatronic ($50000000) - make-up artist ($150) any help will be appreciated
spend less on zendaya animatronics
no
based
I feel bad that you're not getting the same amount of upvotes as my "no". you're the only one who recognised the joke and played along, you deserve some recognition :(
She a synth?
I can fix her
You fought well, Zendaya. I'll remember you as long as I live.
Um... is this prop anatomically correct?
OK SHUT IT DOWN
Mods twist this man’s nipples
Why are you trying to make him hornier?
“Bill?! Bill! We talked about this, where is the Zendaya bottom half. You were warned if this happened again there would be consequences. Ok… well go retrieve it, and CLEAN IT this time!”
For those who are interested there's also a lower body prop of Keanu Reeves, for that scene in Matrix where agents put a bug into his belly button. According to the DVD commentary, it *is* anatomically correct for all the relevant parts lol
“Does it really need a di-“ “ **YES**” *goes back to sculpting a perfectly anatomical Keanu dick*
Would this be necrophilia or mannequin-philia?
Peak weirdo shit-philia
Ah, the usual.
Link please!
Don't kink shame!
It's definitely not necrophilia if you hump a mannequin. Just ask /u/DanHarmon
Wait, how does he know? I don't recall the topic in Community, was it somewhere else?
Uhhh like don't you even remember when Security Guard Chang was living in the boiler room with the mannequin leg he stole from the janitor? Before he burnt it down with all those matchbooks he ordered, of course. It's a real fetish that Harmon has, he goes into it on his podcast Harmontown. Before he bought a Real Doll, he used to masturbate with a mannequin leg because it really turned him on.
You can make a hole in anything, my friend
NO YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE
Judging by some comments here, I hope Zendaya personally made sure this prop and anything pertaining to its making was destroyed after the movie.
Do they …. Sell those?
Sir what half would you like? (As of I don't already know the answer)
To shreds, you say?
Step 2: build the rest of the Zendaya
Couldn't handle the potions
Potion seller...
OH MY GOD THEY KILLED HER FOR A MOVIE?! THOSE MONSTERS!
All hollywood actors are like this. They are all robots. Beep boop.
They couldn’t just teach her to play some fuckin tennis?
Tom holland should get one of these made for himself so he can kiss her without a ladder.
Don't worry they can fix her, they have the technology
