Arbos in the movies

[Tom Dunlap]

On Sunday my sweetie and I went to see a matinee showing of "XXX". During the trailers, there is one for a Tom Green movie coming out in the too near future. In one of the scenes they have a six year old in a body harness hanging from a rope that's slung over a branch up in the tree. The kid has a small Echo in his hands, yup, two handed! They swing the kid over to a limb and the next scene is the limb falling on a Vette or something. Har har har...

Can anyone remember seeing any tree pruning/climbers or related action in any film/TV shows? Let's keep this to arbo work, not logging. How about in books or printed. Don Blair has a poem by Robert Frost in his book. The chipper scene in "Fargo" doesn't count either. That was a toy chipper

Tom, how about the tree crew from Sav-a-tree working in the movie "Meet the Parents".

That was a killer scene in "Meet the Parents". Those guys at Sav-a-Tree have some good marketing going on. The Tamke Tree trucks would have looked better though.

A friend of mine was in Stakeout. He was in a scene where Richard Dryfus was woken up from the noise of a chipper chipping brush.
