Pegg Scotty Photomanip

[TK421]

Okay, so I'm really not buying Pegg as Scotty, and as a Pegg fan, believe me, I want to.

So here's my attempt to Scotty him up.

Best i could do.

 

[RedSpar]

Not bad... I see you gave him a tan

 

[Matango]

Actually I can almost buy it now....
Not bad.

Yeah, Scotty always had a tan. I guess it was all that radiation from the engines.

His face may be totally different, but we can't forget that terrible engineering accident shortly before WNMHGB, where he had to have his face completely reconstructed, and it ended up looking like a different person all together.
And it affected his voice, too.

 

[Kryton]

Heh...he looks like he just got the order from Kirk to change the laws of physics.

And you know, that really gets to be annoying after the first five or six times your Captain does that.

thats a good point, Scottie was missing a finger, I wonder if the movie will address this? however to be fair we dont know when he lost the finger.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Doohan was missing a finger. Scotty wasn't.

 

[sbk1234]

Are there actually any screen caps of the missing filangee?

 

[Nerys Myk]

I think they used a stunt hand when ever they shot a close up of Scotty pushing levers or twisting knobs.

They very likely did.

Closeups like that which do not require the main cast or crew are called "Pickup Shots". Which are filmed at a separate time from the main shooting. Hands holding objects or working equipment are often just standins. Because you do not see their faces in the same shot. So this is done even with actors with all their fingers!

 

[wamdue]

I thought there was a shot in one of the movies which gave it away?

 

[Tralah]

Star Trek V had a clear shot which finally gave it away. I think it's the scene in the beginning when Scotty brings Uhura something to eat. They did try to hide it in the TOS but I think a few shots accidentally slipped in regardless.

 

[USS Excelsior]

Trouble With Tribbles had a clear shot.

that was only one of many problems I had with that scene

 

[sbk1234]

I think I finally found it! It's the middle finger on the right hand, right? I think I spotted it when he's holding that big bunch of tribbles. What a wasted opportunity! Think of all those roles James Doohan could have had playing shop teachers!

Remember these are A-C-T-O-R-S. They don't have to look like the originator of the role to play it.

Was his missing finger ever seen on screen?

Actually, since it was missing, it could never be seen on screen, therefore it is not canon.

Also, Scotty's missing vagina is also not canon.
