Is your favorite movie tied into HD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was watching my all time favorite movie: Arthur.

When Arthur is dating Linda, he takes her to a shooting gallery. When he goes to the counter to cash in his game tickets for prizes, there are two Fonzie posters hanging there.

COOL!

Is your favorite movie tied to Happy Days? Tell us about it.

Ah cool!

Well, American Graffiti stars Ron Howard and takes place around the same time. But other than that, thats about it.

American Graffiti. Didn't Cindy Williams (AKA Shirley Finney) play Ron's girlfriend in that movie and wasn't her character's name Lori Beth???

Splash is another great movie!
Not only is it directed by Ron Howard, but the guy who was the Cunningham's neighbor in episodes like where Howard and Marion get remarried and the episode where he comes over to complain about Fonzie's dog tearing up his garden.

He was the one in SPLASH at the beginning where Allen doesn't have the cherry shipment for. It was "Mr. McCulla" and Mr. McCulla says, "That's it. You're finished in this business!"

Mr. McCulla is non other than Ron Howard's father!

COOOOOOOL!

Come on now. Am I going to tell you that Austin Powers is somehow tied into Happy Days!?!?

Yes, I am.

In the episode where Spike robs Arnold's, the guy who opens the cash register is Ron Howard's brother who was playing a member of the military who was tracking Dr. Evil's rocket in The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Huge fan of Austin Powers! Yeah baby!

Detective who took the ransom call (a younger Officer Kirk): "Did you hear me? It's your case of Wonka Bars or your husband's life."
Woman: "How long will they give me to think it over?"

Can't really think of any favorite movies with Happy Days connections, except American Graffiti and Splash.
