    Sadly, this is just an urban legend. It originated on IMDB as unsubstantiated trivia. It is true that he had to do a moment of silence in the turtle suit, but this was weeks after 9/11.

    But there were scenes in 28 days later filmed on 9/11, and apparently the tragedy entirely reshaped the movie.

    Also Francis Ford Coppola had a second-unit camera team filming in NYC that day, which is where some of the higher quality footage comes from.

    Roughly about 1/365 of all the things happen on each day of the year. Some even more frequently. I’m not surprised that movies scenes have been filmed during that day.

    Tbf I dont know Master Of Disguise. Is it worth watching? And why not?

      Anyone over the age of 10 will find it obnoxious and stupid. I know because I was 10 when I first saw it and thought it was funny, and then I had a birthday and I didn’t like it anymore.

      It’s awful. I can’t be sure but it definitely ended Dana Carvey for a bit he wasn’t in stuff much after that. Was just a terrible movie.

    Was the Turtle Club scene really shot on 9/11? (The video shows evidence that it was not)

    /shrug…

    I was at work when the planes hit the towers on 9/11.

    I set up a bunch of accounts, I handled a bunch of IT issues. I’m sure that there were many movie and TV scenes filmed that day.

      https://www.avclub.com/yes-dana-carvey-prayed-about-9-11-while-in-his-master-1850310338

      “I’m dressed as the Turtle Man, and I’m holding hands, and I’m lowering my head and praying, and I just thought at the moment: ‘This is very strange.’”

      (And here’s where we should be very clear that the Turtle Club scene was not, despite what people say sometimes, actually filmed on 9/11; production on the film hadn’t started when the attacks happened, and didn’t begin until a few weeks after. The Turtle Club was just the first scene to be filmed.)

        I always thought it was as well. Glad to be set straight.
