Confirmation of on set drinking whilst commiserating over the shitshow during production:
“Bob used to get special whiskey sent from England—single malts—and we would drink those copiously in his caravan.” - Fiona Shaw (Lena)
I liked it
It’s no Shawshank, but damn, it’s fun to watch a campy train wreck once in a while.
The 90s Mario movie is better than all the Marvel movies
And that’s the hottest take I’ll ever make.
I saw this shit in the theater. No ragrets.
Im thrilled that this movie is starting to get the cult following it so desperately deserves.
It’s hard to argue that this movie is good in the traditional sense, but it’s definitely unique and that counts for a lot with genre filmmaking.
I’ve always loved it for its weirdness, it’s so bizarre and fun. I knew this day would come
I’ve heard he was good and drunk every day of filming just to get through it. It saddens me because IMO the result was pretty damn good largely because of him, I wish he’d have been able to enjoy making it as much as I’ve enjoyed watching it.
Doesn’t help that he suffered numerous injuries:
“If you’re going to survive this film, you’re going to have to be very, very careful […] I got stabbed four times. Electrocuted. Broke a finger. Nearly got drowned.”
The finger was due to Leguizamo’s inexperienced driving skills. Slammed the brakes on a van with an open door onto Hoskins’ hand.
