  • Gibson is not at Apex Mountain here; neither is Glover, whose peak is placed at Lethal Weapon 2 through Grand Canyon, though Silverado and The Color Purple are floated.
  • Grand Canyon got Premiere coverage as if it were Godfather 2 but now plays as problematic, a Crash precursor.
  • Busey's Apex Mountain is The Buddy Holly Story, his nomination.
  • For Donner it is this or The Goonies, probably this because it set up three sequels and made him generationally wealthy.
  • For helicopter shootings, Godfather 3 is offered but lacks enough chopper; First Blood is chosen.
  • For cocaine balcony jumps this is called probably the Apex, but the other host offers Jenny in Forrest Gump, who never jumps.
  • For jumps onto an inflatable cushion, this movie is number one, over The Game.
  • For Christmas-in-L.A. movies it is this or Die Hard; as a Christmas movie both go Die Hard.
  • This is the Apex for drinking Coors in movies; Nomadland is the Apex for mobile homes.
