Magic Thirty - Crew

Even if this barbershop quartet got their top five favorite barbershop quartets together, they would still be outnumbered by Flunky.

Bernardo showed me the crewlist and we're thirty people. Thirty people on set.

This film has grown from humble beginnings to still-humble pre-production, but including a whole lot of people - make-up, sound, wardrobe, lights, catering, etc. Thirty people!

30. That's a lot of people.

For comparisons sake:

-A professional football match consists of 22 players and 3 officials. That's not 30. We're bigger than a professional football match. (Not including spectators).

-A barbershop quartet is only 4 people. Our cast and crew is the equivalent of 7.5 barbershop quartets.

-Jesus had 12 apostles. We have more than double the amount of people it took to get Christianity rollin'.

-A jury is 12 people. These 12 people are the perfect expression of the ideals of justice. We have many more than twelve people. i.e. we are Doublejustice!

BONUS:
- If you put the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Gummo, Zeppo, Chico, and Harpo), The Three Stooges (Larry, Moe, Curly), Abbot and Costello (Abbot, Costello), Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (Grumpy, Bashful, Chuckles, Darling, Doc, Wheezy, Dingo) together in a room, the cast and crew of Flunky would not only outnumber them, but also win in a slapfight, though there is no scientific way to verify this.
