More Hard Day's Night

(reposted from September 2009)

One thing that's always struck me is that in the opening seconds to A Hard Day's Night, George trips and falls when running down the sidewalk. If this happened today to any of our FABULOUS!!! pop stars, said fabulous pop star would shut down production for 6 weeks while they checked themselves into a hospital and worked up a nice little painkiller addiction, all while suing the ass off of the production company. But George (with Ringo on top of him) just bounces right back up, laughing and running. Camera never stops.
