Blues Brothers integration

– Calculus and the BB should fit a second tracker to a Mercedes G-Wagon at Scimitar HQ (to where it’s registered,) while Sponsz and his team are visiting and the BB and Calculus see them all getting out.

Sponsz: I saw Tintin at the train line, you know, the other day asking questions.
Muller: Don’t worry about it.
Sponsz: I’m not. [they walk into the building]
Elwood: They don’t look too friendly [while hidden behind some trees]
Jake: Thanks Professor [Elwood looks at Calculus]
Elwood: I was just saying, you know, maybe we should track them too
Jake: Damn Jake, I mean like, Fuck
Elwood: A friend in need is a friend indeed [Calculus looks at Elwood]
Jake: Can’t he just be a fair-weather friend or something?
Elwood: Actually, I think we should all become policemen, I mean if you can’t beat them, join them. [they fit the tracker]

– Thus, in the synopsis, “Sponsz’s hit squad attempt a drive-by kidnapping from a van but the two escape by getting onto a train track with a train hitting a couple of Sponsz’s men after being pushed by Boron and Rosalind.” Here the BB can come to Tintin’s aid during that scene, because they have access to the tracking device to that Merc vehicle. They can call Tintin when they get an alert on how fast the Merc is moving and Tintin doesn’t answer his phone. It could be an extended car chase, and the BB can be in an ex-highway patrol vehicle:

However, the Merc  should not be destroyed and is tracked again later by Tintin, when the BB tell him how they came to his aid and he starts using the tracking device himself.

– Tintin starts tracking the Merc vehicle and rather than just happening to be at the same place at the same time to catch Violette (when he’s meant to meet T+T at Hokeler’s to give them documents and whereby she’s on a hit) he is also forewarned of her arrival by using the tracker and calls the BB to come. Also, Muller can be with her driving the vehicle. Muller sees the BB in their ex-highway patrol vehicle (badly damaged from last car chase) and decides to speed off. However, he hits a bikey who is somewhat drunk and leaving a cafe. He falls off his bike:

All the bikey’s friends get on their bikes and Muller drives off, but he lets out Violette around a corner to do her hit. The last shot of Muller is being pursued by a bunch of angry bikies holding up clubs. The police notice the bikies pursuing Muller and his van matches the CCTV footage of the drive-by kidnapping, and as the bikies see the police, they think they are the ones being pursued and start driving down sidewalks. Muller is eventually arrested and tied back to the homeless killings (along with Sponsz and Violette) – the police find the tracking coupons on the victims and can pursue the case once the Royal Australian Navy are involved.

– Boron sees this Merc vehicle in his dream

– Tintin should fit a tracking device to the Bordurian as well when he is at the dock and Haddock and Jammo are speaking. The BB get these 3 tracking devices from one of their friends they met whilst in prison.

– Tintin, Haddock and Boron get the attention of the Royal Australian Navy at the end for the final scene by having Haddock deliver them the white truck from his ship. This also allows any charges against them and the BB to be eventually dropped.

Venue scene modification
Instead of BiggieSmalls, which has no dancing, the venue for Haddock/Chester/Boron (then Tintin) to meet can be Grumpy’s. Also, just as the girls are leaving, the Blues Brothers can arrive.

Elwood: Who are these guys? [asks Girl 1, pointing finger]
Boron: We’re on a mission from God [hollers to Elwood]
Jake: Tell that to a judge [brushes off clothing]
Boron: No really, we are
Elwood: Hey, some other time, alright?
Boron: Just sleep on it!
Jake: Sure will [raises eyebrows at girl 1]
[they all walk off]
Jake: We don’t want any rappers in the band
Girl 1: They might make good roadies

[Calculus can meet Jake and Elwood later in front of the white truck after some phone calls]

Porsche removal, McGuffin focus

Up until this point, a Porsche (top left) has been used by Muller in their hits (top right). Instead, the white utility truck should be used as a replacement (bottom left) and no Porsche should be used or seen. Calculus can fit a tracker to the truck, with the help of the Blues Brothers (bottom right) at Muller’s home or Scimitar’s HQ, to where it is registered (after T+T inform them of its location.)

This reduces confusion.

However, the vehicle can be disguised as a plumber’s vehicle:

Tintin and the Ormus King: Chalice of Malice

Scene: BiggieSmalls bar closing

This scene can lead to an actual encounter with the Blues Brothers later if need be (for example see pic below.)
As BiggieSmalls is closing, a couple of girls from the hens night walk out too.

Girl 1: Hey Archie, we’re going to the Blues Brothers after-party show, wanna come?
Tintin: Well I came especially to drive him home
[Girl 2 points to poster on window – that poster can be adjusted to show a real BB show in Melbourne]
Haddock: Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! Tintin, she’s serious!
Girl: Haha, no I’m not – you must be drunk!
Haddock: Drunk! Me? Impossible!
Girl 2: Okay captain, well maybe some other time then?
Tintin: Why don’t you come with us?
Girl 1: Haha, we’ll see! [girl gives Haddock her card]
Haddock: Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles in a thundering typhoon!
Tintin: Great snakes! Bye.
Girl 1 + 2: Bye

The bar door closes and Captain Chester stumbles out as the girls walk off.

With the girl’s card, Tintin or Haddock can call her later and meet them along with the Blues Brothers (who the girls actually picked up,) and they can then help Boron when he finds Muller’s car.

Important Note: Rather than Haddock receive the card from the girl, Adrian Boron should receive the card instead, and he later dreams about the group of girls (and BiggieSmalls himself) in the Dream Hit sequence, where they appear in front of Como House (see here) as he leaves. Also, the song F### You Tonight can be playing in the bar when he meets Haddock on the dance floor, along with the girls, and they all dance together. It’s the whole “mission from God” connection and so Jake and Elwood can agree to help Boron and Tintin when they finally meet. The song to be played at this point is She Caught the Caty (original) as seen here.

The Blues Brothers could fit a tracking device to the white truck and the Blues Brothers can refer to S.C.M.O.D.S. when fitting the device (1:16):

Instead in 2019 the BB use the term Some Cars Might One Day Suck. Interestingly, the Bordurian is also being tracked as well with another device (fitted at the dock.. by Tintin) so the Australian naval ship can intercept it at the end. Violette herself tracks the homeless people she targets for murder and weapons testing.


3:37
Jake: What the hell are you doing?
Elwood: This can is from a surplus disposal run. Fifteen overcharged ounces of pure, uncompounded isopropyl butane monosulfate. When combined with oxygen and a little heat it will cause a rapid expansion.

Tintin and the Ormus King: Chalice of Malice

Shrine discussion scene

Henry Sponsz meets JM Dawson, a corrupt government contact who will allow Sponsz to test the weapon on homeless people without legal repercussions. Sponsz knows him through his brother. Dawson could also be Melbourne’s Police chief – although that would not reflect reality in any way, shape or form. Dawson can also be Sponsz’s own brother, and thus renamed. Violette is seen here too, who along with Muller is part of Henry’s hit and testing team.

It may also be useful to have Hokeler appear here too – or rather Sponsz can call him on the phone after Dawson leaves telling him to go ahead with the weapon testing.

In Herge’s Tintin, Dawson is the corrupt Shanghai Police chief and, “appearing in a more sinister role in The Red Sea Sharks, sells weapons to both General Alcazar and General Tapioca using the pseudonym Mr. Debrett.” source 1

In Herge’s Tintin, obviously Colonel Sponsz and JM Dawson wouldn’t know each other.

This meeting can take place at night on Australia Day (26 Jan) when fireworks can be seen over the city (pics.) Alternatively, the meeting can take place during the daytime on any other day and they can just be walking through the surrounding park. In either case, they can step over a homeless person, who they later murder. The scene can close with a shot to the roof of the shrine, and then a cut to the war in Borduria.

Expanding, ANZAC day (25 April) is Australia’s most important day of remembrance and centers on the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. It is a public holiday and recalls a huge defeat in Turkey, but also celebrates the birth of a nation where “Bush Spirit” joined with “Duty to Empire” (Egan, The Land Downunder, Ch 18, 2003) yet resulted in almost 30,000 Australian casualties. It has become a memorial to all Australians who have served in war. By using this symbol, the audience can relate to their own experience with war and sacrifices to their country for the supposed greater good.

Also, it is interesting to note that the two battles occurring here are the one in Borduria and the other in Melbourne between Tintin and the arms machine that enable the Bordurian war to continue – with homeless people as the first casualties.

One issue for this film can be: Someone is going to suffer, but who is it going to be, and how? Through justice, circumstance or revenge?

Port scene 1

Captain Haddock is first shown here, whereby he strikes up a conversation with the Port Director, Jammo (nickname for Captain James Chester.) They have known each other for a long time, and Jammo has decided to quit sailing and stay grounded in order to see more of his family. They decide to go drinking at BiggieSmalls bar that night (where they end up meeting Adrian Boron.) Jammo likes the bar because of the breakdancing and music – a welcome change from the mundane nights on his ship Sirius . It is also a local bar to him. The same girls at Como House end up at BiggieSmalls that night on their hens’ outing.
Also, shown at the port is the vessel Bordurian that is meant to take the weapons truck to Borduria and also seen is Haddock’s Sentry Seven where the truck ends up after Tintin adjusts Jammo’s cargo-sheet in the story’s climax.

Redd White office scene

After having already seen Kurvi-Tasch speak to White, this is a better view of his office and the spying capabilities that he has of the companies in Blucorp’s portfolio. Blucorp itself has many investors (including public ones,) and his covert role is to keep the wars going and to continually divide-and-conquer wherever he can. He has his IT guy come in and show him a new system for completely monitoring all his CEOs and staff for whom he supplies finance, offices, laptops and all internet connectivity. His assistant and partner April May is a sort of cult-follower and he tells her a lot of what he is up to, although she herself has little ambition, intelligence or moral sense (and a lot of loyalty.) Redd White has a fetish for war propaganda and uprising posters. He speaks to Patty here and secretly enjoys her anguish and determination at being the rebel leader for whom he funds and promises a new weapon to “take the head off the serpent.” He lives vicariously through her, and wants to feel a part of human history, although he never wants to see anyone ‘win’ for whom he supports – they could eventually overpower him and he’d lose his “feelz and lulz.”
