VIDEO: Footage From 1941 Suggests San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy Could Be A Time Traveler & NFL Fans Are Losing It

Brock Purdy has shown up a few places since he went from Mr. Irrelevant to a starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.

The above is quite the feat in itself, yet Purdy has done us a few better as he’s gone from the player picked last in the 2022 NFL Draft to the guy who’s already led the Niners to a Super Bowl.

It’s surprising the number of people who look like Brock Purdy, and we’re leaning toward the theory that he might be a time traveler, with a video having popped up online showing him taking part in a bodybuilding competition in 1941.

Check it out right below:

Of course, it’s not him, but the resemblance is uncanny. And for those wondering why color motion picture was already a thing in 1941, it’s been around since the mid-1930s, though it didn’t become the standard until the 1950s.

Brock Purdy Is Nearing A Massive Payday

The supposedly ubiquitous Brock Purdy is headed toward a significant payday following his exploits under center for the Niners.

The QB is entering the final year of his rookie contract, one that will earn him a modest $985,000, but he’s earned himself a huge payday after firing the team to the Super Bowl last season, and CEO Jed York expects him to command an unprecedented sum.

“It’s a good problem when your quarterback is one of the highest-paid guys on your team and in the league,” York said, per The Mercury News earlier this week. “It’s what the market is. Brock is going to ask for something that no one has ever asked for before. I don’t know how many players are making over $40 million [a season] as a quarterback right now.”

Purdy passed for 4,280 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2023, completing 69.4 percent of his attempts.

There are plenty of NFL quarterbacks earning a lot more than the Niners star who have never been to a Super Bowl. It will be interesting to see the number he asks for when the time comes.

One of the main factors that decide the success of an action movie is the authenticity of its action sequences. Excessive use of CGI often leads to poor audience ratings, so filmmakers create those action-packed sequences in real life. Without a doubt, actors like Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson are dominating the action genre today, however, there was another film, featuring Keanu Reeves, that was made two decades ago that contained authentic stunts.

Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, 2003’s The Matrix Reloaded, is arguably the best movie in the Matrix franchise. There is an iconic motorcycle chase scene in the movie that was made entirely on a 1.5-mile stretch of fake freeway. With the help of some visual effects, the scene came to fruition.

2003’s The Matrix Reloaded was well-received by the fans. The film contained some memorable action scenes that managed to captivate the audience. One of these scenes was the motorcycle chase scene. The scene was shot over the course of three months, with a combination of some scenes shot on an actual freeway and some visual effects. The 1.5-mile stretch of fake freeway was actually constructed just for the scene.

The movie was the sequel to The Matrix (1999) and the second installment in the Matrix film series. The film featured Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Gloria Foster.

What was the damage from the Keanu Reeves movie?

The results of performing these stunts on a real freeway cost a lot of money. Over 300 vehicles were destroyed, which can be reflected in the extensive budget of the film, which was expected to be somewhere between $127–150 million.

The stars of the movie, Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves did most of their stunts on their own. The Wachowski sisters managed to give fans some death-defying stunts that push the boundaries of what is visually possible. Without a doubt, The Matrix Reloaded‘s stunts make it one of the most iconic movies in the history of action movies.
