Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim was a fantastic cinema experience, and was a huge amount of fun. It appears that making the film was just as much fun as it was to watch it, and a gag reel has made its way on-line showing exactly how much laughter was had on set.
i09 discovered the four minute video, which will presumably be part of the Blu-ray release which arrives in the UK on November 11th. Check out the hilarious video below which features some truly brilliant moments of comedic excellence from all involved.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro and written by Travis Beacham, Pacific Rim stars Idris Elba (Prometheus), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Charlie Hunnam (Horrible Bosses), Charlie Day, Clifton Collins Jr, Rinko Kikuchi and Robert Maillet.
SYNOPSIS:
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
It won’t play.
