Apparently, Stallone still has (or had until recently) the turtles from the movie, almost 50 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) NCIS: Los Angeles had a full episode with a plotline surrounding an aquarium. the stocking wasn't great (goldfish with other fish) and there was absolutely some CGI stuff in one scene. But, it was absolutely great to see a real tank (20H) with a proper filter and actually look like a real hobbyist aquarium. Found a clip.

Their boss adds a guppy. I won't say what happens, but very fitting. I don't know if it sticks around, I haven't seen the new ones. Fish in NCIS is a common thing. DiNozzo has a bowl of goldfish (bad I know) in honor of his fallen coworkers. They kept the name in the show, which is absolutely cool and the fish have been with the character for 10+ seasons and then we're passed on when he moved. Obviously it might be different fish, in for just the shot, but there is definitely some aquarium love on the staff of those shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1gJ4k3 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 This thread has definitely got me looking for tanks in TV and movies now. Watching Men in Black 3 the other day with the kids when I see a familiar face that looks an awful lot like my Amphilophus Sagittae, Casper... Unfortunately, every single tank in this scene meets with a fairly predictable end, so it's probably safe to assume Casper's brother/sister didn't make it. But, there's almost no water spilled compared to how big the tanks are, so I guess that's a plus? On the other end of the spectrum, it got me thinking about another "fish tank in a restaurant explodes" scene in a movie which I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet: Mission Impossible, in which agent Ethan Hunt blows up the world's cloudiest fish tank... ...that is filled with an positively ridiculous amount of water... And if you're fan of the show New Girl, a large (I'm going to say at least a 125), unfiltered and unheated (though, thankfully, empty) tank also meets with an unfortunate end in an apartment on the 4th floor. 😬 Sorry downstairs neighbors... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he could play this role, Shakespeare, and Khan (Star Trek II)… one of my favs. Edited March 30, 2022 by Fish Folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Dwarf Scene is my favorite because while I have never revived a fish by banging it on the table, I have revived a Red Tail Shark by repeatedly dipping it in and out of the aquarium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
