I'm convinced that a lot of cocaine went into the making of that film.

Chappelle first major role. Great movie

i am keeping that damn Bryan Adams song out of my head by pure will after seeing this.

simonplittle.ca•8 days ago

Haha that song came on the radio which is how I ended up watching the movie tonight

mrtoads.bsky.social•8 days ago

He and Christopher Walken were two I would watch in damn near anything. Maybe not Snakes on a Plane, though.

If Alan Rickman is in it, I watch.

Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Rickman made that movie epic.

And Geraldine McEwan

The epitome of the good bad movie. Alan Rickman is indeed incredible though. Just a camp tour de force.

simonplittle.ca•8 days ago

Yeah he hams it up so good, it's incredible

A real Raul Julia Street Fighter if you will.

thezaius.bsky.social•8 days ago

A real Frank Langella Masters of the Universe.

theonlystowie.bsky.social•8 days ago

A Michael Caine Muppet Xmas Carrol.

jcjmorris.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oi. That's Caine's career-best performance you're taking about...

theonlystowie.bsky.social•8 days ago

Where he acted for his life as Ebenezer to the point I forgot he was surrounded by puppets.

A masterclass.

theonlystowie.bsky.social•8 days ago

Except, that movie is perfect.

Always love when a great actor has a great performance in a mediocre movie

Sound track is phenomenal Michael Kamen at his best. Watch the interviews, he also went all in, had a childhood crush on the idea of Maid Marian.

i’ll argue that it is a good movie. it’s not a great movie, but quite good.

'Look at this child, so young, so full of life; so UNaware of how PRECarious that life can be.'

His inflections were gold.

hahahaha right ! he steals that show

mattication.bsky.social•8 days ago

It was very popular back then

Rickman is like a tasty Ham & Pineapple pizza in this movie.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Robin Ahlockslee.”

I just remember his accent, or shall we say lack thereof.😂

Remember reading in Empire magazine that for the first couple of days the American actors all attempted British accents and then gave it up as a bad job and reverted to their own.
Would love to see a bit of the first couple of days' footage, bet it's incredible 😆

simonplittle.ca•8 days ago

Christian Slater seems to veer back and forth

10millionhardbacks.bsky.social•8 days ago

He does a bit!
What accent did he have in The Name of The Rose? I'm thinking it was British-ish but it's been a while since I've seen it...
