Title: Movie trivia:
Post by: ARROW on March 18, 2012, 12:49:40 PM
Okay, this one is going to be tricky:

Channing Tatum has played a character nicknamed "Duke" in THREE movies.  What is the FIRST one?? ( Hint: it is NOT Rise of Cobra!)

I'm ashamed for knowing this but I believe it is ... She's The Man....... My wife watched it the other day.

That's right!
And it was on TV just last night--my missus was watching it and when they called Tatum's character by his nickname I did a double-take.

Well the three are: She's The Man, GIJOE Rise of Cobra, and.........obviously....GIJOE:Retaliation.

Only reason for this topic is that the film was made in 2006 (4 years before ROC), but NO-ONE has mentioned that Tatum had already played a character with the name of Duke before his role in GIJOE, certainly he's not said anything about it in interviews and what-not. A funny irony, I felt.

Ah, I was thinking you meant he played three separate characters named Duke. Of course he plays Duke in Retaliation.


You mean a funny coincidence. It's not ironic.
