The Bridge Scene Pays Tribute To It’s A Wonderful Life
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer isn’t the only holiday movie that Favreau took inspiration from for Elf. The scene toward the end where Buddy is walking across the bridge after leaving Walter’s apartment is a homage to a similar scene in It’s A Wonderful Life.
The original bridge scene is one of the most chilling and meaningful scenes in Christmas movie history, and we think Will Ferrell did a pretty good job paying tribute.
Will Ferrell’s Brother Has A Small Role
First of all, we didn’t even know Will Ferrell had a brother. Patrick Ferrell is also an actor, but admittedly much less famous than his brother Will.
Patrick mostly plays small parts and cameos in Will’s films. In Elf, he plays the security guard that removes Buddy from the Empire State Building. Patrick has also had roles in Night at the Roxbury, Anchorman, and The Other Guys. I guess the Ferrell’s have good acting genes.
