| |
| − | *S&K was launched and marketed less like a game and more like a Hollywood motion picture. [[Pamela Kelly]] came up with the idea/organized [[Rock the Rock]]. Possibly more information [https://www.abc4.com/gtu/how-sonic-knuckles-came-to-be-and-the-journey-of-creating-it/ here].
| |
| − | *MTV was seemingly only involved with the Alcatraz and video editing side of the tournament, but that needs to be verified. (Where did I hear this?)

| − | *Hosted by Bill Bellamy and Daisy Fuentes.
| |
| − | *50 initial contestants, chosen from around 100,000 participants. 5 additional contestants chosen from phone line, totaling 55 contestants.

| |
| − | *I have a gut feeling segments of this may have been produced by the same company which did that one video with Al Nilsen's face floating and stretching around the screen as he just sits there and quietly talks. Welcome to the Next Living Room?

| |
| − | *Uhm those police bikes aren't real are they? ofc not, but dang they got their lights on and everything
| |
| − | *Some kinda pre-tournament event thing being held Sunday morning at Pier 41. Bellamy on a stage (I think near the aquarium/bushman area) getting a crowd of ppl hyped up, which are likely just the public - there's easily enough tourists in that area but who knows.
| |
| − | *Although they got from Hard Rock to the airport in individual limos, their hotel > pier transportations was a single prison bus, keeping with the theme.
| |
| − | *Officers are taking cartoon sacks of money from the Brinks truck. The sacks have giant dollar bills on them. This is awesome.
| |
| − | *oh frick what hotel is that. street view it. and why are they getting into a limo when theyre later showing up at the pier on the bus. also check clothes to times/etc.
| |
| − | *Lots of good shots of different tournament places. MIGHT BE [[Yuji Naka]] in frame to the right at 3:25. And WOW look at that Sonic logo in the back there, is that the modern logo? This was late 1994, either way, neat.
| |
| − | *I can't stop watching this fake hotel guest get body slammed out the way. And now the cops are walking besides the limo in live traffic these balls.
