![]() ![]() It’s clearly Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, and it’s actually one of the better waxworks of a human character at Movieland. ![]() Who in God’s name sculpted this, took a step back, studied it in all its dubious glory and thought “yup, that’s Pacino alright”? It looks like a cross between Rob Brydon and Richard E Grant. Still, at least the Al Pacino can’t be much worse than this. Except this is clearly from the Director’s Cut, in which Don Corleone has a full head of hair and he strokes one of those yappy toy cats that do backflips. When I first saw this I was surprised that Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds was so popular in Canada, then when I realised it was supposed to be Reese Witherspoon I simply shook my head and tutted angrily as a single tear rolled down my cheek.Īh, it’s Marlon Brando in his most famous role, Don Corleone from The Godfather. Thank Christ for those name cards, by the way. I bet you didn’t know Hugh Grant once played Superman, did you? How could you have forgotten? He was easily the most delightfully awkward Superman I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. ![]() I PITY THE FOOL who created this waxwork! HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously though, I pity him. Yes, this is definitely Mr T and not just a generic-looking muscular black man with a mohawk and a dodgy beard. It’s just a shame they can’t do people properly. Indeed, pretty much every waxwork of a non-human character is brilliant (with one exception that we’ll get to later). I’ve put this one in to show that, in fairness, not all the waxworks at Movieland are bad. Presumably part of that mission involves finding out where the real Dan Ackroyd is, and who replaced him with a homeless person from the 1930s. The Blues Brothers are “on a mission from God”. You should also recognise their Primark suits. What’s that? You don’t recognise Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise from the hit motion picture Rain Man? Then you, sir or madam, are an ignoramus. Wait until he realises he’s a bad fake too: shit is likely to go down. He is unhappy because he’s just realised the plant he’s been put in charge of tending to is a bad fake. As ever, click on the pics to see them in all their grisly detail. Still, that doesn’t mean I didn’t have great fun – fun I will now transmit to you via the medium of photography. ![]() In fairness, whoever decorated the place did a great job, because the environments the waxworks are placed in are much better than those in Madame Tussaud’s in London in my opinion, but obviously it’s the waxworks themselves that are the star attraction and it’s here where Movieland struggles. On the way to the falls I saw a novelty street filled with loads of cheesy shops and attractions, including Movieland: Wax Museum Of The Stars™.Īs I’d hoped, Movieland’s wax creations are of varying quality, and with all respect to them the majority of them aren’t very good. If I’m being honest though, as impressive as that was, it was something else that I fell in love with at Niagara. Check this shit out (click the pics to embiggen): Let’s get the obvious stuff out the way first – Niagara Falls is amazing to see. So when I travelled to Canada in 2013 to visit my then-fiancée’s family and was told of the cheesiness that could be found at Niagara Falls, a trip to said Falls was arranged post-haste. This should already be clear to you if you read about my previous trip to Popeye Village in Malta. ![]()
