Formby i Frankrike under andra världskriget. George Formby, egentligen George Hoy Booth, född 26 maj 1904 i Wigan, Lancashire, död 6 mars 1961 i Preston, Lancashire, var en brittisk sångare, musiker, skådespelare och komiker. Han blev spådd en framtid som professionell jockey, och red sitt första race vid blott tio års ålder, i skuggan av sin far, George Formby Senior (1875-1921), som var en framstående komiker i musikhallar. Unge George fick aldrig ens se sin far uppträda, men när fadern avlidit 1921 övergavs jockeykarriären, och i stället tog han sin fars material och började sjunga och spela själv, och han blev minst lika populär som sin far. Först spelade han ukulele på sin fritid, men en bekant slog vad med honom om att han inte skulle duga att spela offentligt på den, vilket fick till följd att det var precis vad Formby gjorde. Formby blev känd som "The Ukulele Man". Redan 1915 spelade George Formby in stumfilmen By the Shortest of Heads. Den senare filmkarriären tog dock fart i och med filmen Boots!
I och med den svenska premiären av filmen It's in the Air under namnet Flygmalajen fick han smeknamnet Flygmalajen i Sverige. Flera äldre filmer fick därefter också svenska titlar med ordet Flygmalajen i sig (se filmografin nedan). Runt 1940 var Formby Englands mest välbetalda artist, med en årsinkomst på över 100 000 pund. Formby spelade in sin första skiva 1926. Under de nästkommande åren spelade han in flera av de sånger som pappan gjort succé med. Han besökte Sverige en gång under andra världskriget, då han uppträdde på Skansen, bland annat tillsammans med en något överförfriskad Thor Modéen. Han erhöll Brittiska imperieorden 1946. Redan 1951 fick Formby sin första hjärtattack, som han klarade sig ur. 1960 dog hans hustru, f.d. dansösen Beryl Ingham i leukemi, och 1961 dog han själv på sjukhus efter en sista hjärtattack. Drygt 100 000 människor följde honom till hans sista vila. Det finns en bronsstaty av Formby lutad mot en lyktstolpe på Ridgeway Street, nära korsningen vid Lord Street, i Douglas, Isle of Man. Den 15 september 2007 avtäcktes ytterligare en bronsstaty och detta i Formbys födelsestad i Wigan, Lancashire, i köpcentrumet Grand Arcade.
Under 2007 gavs det ut en DVD-box i England med 7 av Formbys filmer.The Rusty Wheelchair is a wheelchair located at the end of a dock in Fisher's Lagoon, Red County, San Andreas. It is an easter egg, and it ties in with various myths in the game, including Leatherface. At the end of the dock, there is an old rusty wheelchair, a reference to the horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Many myths in the game, including the Leatherface myth, centralize around this wheelchair, however, it's possible that it is just an Easter Egg. What's strange about the wheelchair is that it shares its texture with a skip dumpster found in various places around the state. Because of this, it says "SKIP HIRE" in several places around the wheelchair. This texture duplication could be simply because game developers didn't want to make an entirely new texture for the wheelchair, and instead simply recycled a texture from the dumpster. This pedestrian dialog can be heard in Palomino Creek:
- "Have you seen this disabled person chair moving?" - "No, have you?" - "Neither have I, bye-bye!" There is also a different texture on the front wheels of the wheelchair, that showcase text, reading 12:30 PM. Many players assume that something strange happens at that time. There is another texture on the left side of the wheelchair that appears to be a traffic light with the red light on, which to the unsuspecting eye may appear to be blood. The "mystery of the chair" was never solved in the standard GTA game, and it is believed the chair doesn't carry any meaning. Although, when two members of GTA Forums have launched their own competition called GTA Treasurehunt that includes already-made Design Your Own Missions for the GTA Treasurehunt, the last mission there included solving the wheelchair mystery. The lake was filled up with rocks and stones and the dead body was floating in the middle. A mod can be done to make the Wheelchair a vehicle by replacing it with the Quad Bike's model and placing an ATV at the dock.
It also bears a resemblance to the wheelchair Johnny Sindacco is forced to travel in after the mission Fender Ketchup. Interestingly, the wheelchair makes metallic sounds if the player hits it. Most objects in the game do not make sounds when hit unless they are intended to be interacted with.

He does so through technology and the worlds he sets up purposely mocks known physics, history and human principles, hence his name. He was a fashion villain in the original DC comic books the animated cartoon was based on, as he used fashion in order to steal goods for himself. While this was different from his character in the animated cartoon, the Teen Titans Go comic issue Naked City references his DC comic book character when he tries to use fashion to hypnotize the citizens.
Mad Mod's first appearance was in the episode Mad Mod. The Teen Titans woke up, locked in chairs and confused. Mad Mod introduced himself and claimed that the Titans needed a lesson in respecting hardworking villains, and he needed to teach them one. However, the Titans managed to escape, but they were still trapped in Mad Mod's doozy dimension. At first, they struggled to keep up because Mad Mod controlled the entire place and he would do things that none of the Titans would have guessed he could do. However, the Titans figured out that this whole thing was a trap, and they hit a wall, which crumbled (it was actually a curtain). Behind the curtains, Mad Mod's real self (an old man) was controlling the dimension with his controls, however, the Titans managed to break his controls and capture him. His next appearance was in Revolution. It was the Fourth of July, and the Titans were ready to have some relaxation while watching the fireworks show, but Mad Mod had other plans. He hypnotized the entire city into believing that he was king, and he transformed Jump City into an early 1900s London.
The Titans, of course tried to stop him, but everywhere, he had giant robot warriors that proved to be tough enemies. Mad Mod captured Robin and turned him old, whereas Mad Mod himself turned young. Because of Robin's old age, he could barely walk and so, he couldn't do anything. The other four Titans tried to devise plans, but all four of them had different and clashing opinions, whether they should do a sneak attack or a full frontal assault. All four of their plans failed, and they were defeated time after time. They managed to escape and hide in a courtroom, but they were all discouraged. However, Starfire concluded that they were failing because they don't know much about the history, so they studied up a bit and finally came up with a working plan. They were captured by the robot warriors and subdued, but this was part of their plan. Beast Boy got hold of Mad Mod's cane and threw it up into the air, and just as Mad Mod was about to catch it, Robin grabbed it, reversed the aging effects and broke it, reverting the city back to normal.
After a get together, they saw Mad Mod out of Robin's hold, and they chased after him. It is unknown if they captured him and threw him into jail, or if he escaped. In Revved Up, Mad Mod (now a young man again) was one of many villains who took part in a major desert race, driving a white car modeled after the Big Ben clock tower. He appeared as one of the recruits of the Brotherhood of Evil at the end of Homecoming - Part 2. When the Brain unleashed his plans and sent his pawns to capture Titans and Honorary Titans, Mad Mod was not seen capturing anybody. When Beast Boy led Herald, Mas, Pantha and Jericho in an assault to the Brotherhood's base, Mad Mod participated in the first and second phase of the battle, but he wasn't seen getting hurt or attacking anybody. He was later seen as a flash-frozen enemy at the end of the battle. Mad Mod speaks with a British accent and is utterly anglophilic and a special fan of British popular culture of the '60s and '70s, including the Beatles, A Clockwork Orange and Monty Python.
Moddie, as he often calls himself, is bitter about his old age and thus envious of the Titan's youthful vitality. He has an odd habit of calling them "his duckies". Mad Mod has no superpowers of his own, but he is a master of technological trickery and employs robots and holographic projectors, which he controls with a ruby-handled cane. In one circumstance, he was able to use such a cane to drain the youth from someone (Robin), making them old and himself young again. He also habitually employs optically induced hypnosis to make his victims submit to his will. Through his hypnosis and holograms, it looked as if he could control both matter and the laws of physics. Mad Mod made an appearance in the DC Kids and Cartoon Network comic 'Teen Titans Go!'. In issue 8 (#8), Mad Mod used his fashion designer mentality (which was absent in the animated series) to hypnotize the citizens of Jump City, Beast Boy and Starfire. He deployed robots to attack the banks so as to attract citizens of Jump City when he (disguised as D.D. Ammo, fashion designer) persuade Starfire and Beast Boy to be spokesmodel for his retro clothing.
