Dude, the story of Werner Herzogs "Fitzcarraldo" is way more crazy. Just to name an inzident: While filming in the jungle, one camera man got bit by a snake and in fear of the venom, he immediately saw his leg off on set.
Having someone get bitten by a snake, another infected by a parasite, and a third mugged in Sydney may be the most Australian series of events I've ever heard.
As a film student, I’ve learned a valuable lesson from this: there is no actor so valuable they are worth that amount of crap they cause on set. Even if the studio demanded we keep them, and even if it cost me my job, I would fire Brando and Kilmer for making such a toxic, unworkable environment.
@@frankieseward8667 considering that Brando had destroyed his career before due to his behavior on set you think he would have learned his lesson but he didnt.
It’s something I like to remind people of in my workplace- at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what kind of skill, education or qualifications someone has for the job, if they’re so hard to deal with that absolutely no one else will work with or around them everything screeches to a halt. Sometimes it’s better to go for the next choice or do without altogether if need be.
It’s very much like “The Room”, where the production is weird, the movie’s weird, and the story behind it is much more interesting and probably made more money
Tommy is at least way more charming and well meaning, the room is a masterpiece in its own special way despite most of it coming from tommys ignorance of American culture and amature director experience.
"The relationship between Brando and the crew got so bad one actor was prohibited from handling a gun." I don't know why but this hilarious imagine being hated that much
Knowing what Brando could be like and how grouchy, stubborn and selfish he could be I can totally believe it. This is the guy who used to go behind his wife’s back by sneaking out to eat Burger King in the bushes at the dead of night when she was trying to help him lose weight
Then it goes to show that stories like that will remembered for generations to come. Yeah I know that sound profane and fluffy but it's the best I can come up with.
@@Elstree I never said it didn't, but sometimes stories that try to rebell against established norms by shocking its readers, tend to age poorly, since they eventually reach readers who are more distant from what the book was originally rebelling towards.
I mean, I’m pretty sure Wells partially wrote it to lampoon eugenicists, so that’s not that surprising Personally, I think “Time Machine” was even creepier, but I read that first and years before, so I may just have been immured to Wells’ weird half-human fucktoys
There is one, but not exactly Disaster Artist style, but somewhat. It’s called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr Moreau. It’s a documentary about the making of it, anyways. Might be on RU-vid not sure.
@@crimsondynamo615 to be fair his grandson is primarily an animation director, that movie was his first and I believe only attempt at doing live action
@@mr.r_r7199 (breaking joke chain here) there's a whole meme about saberspark being a furry cause he keeps outwardly denying it, but he has furry merch and there is plenty of furry fanart of himself that he showcases so lots of people are very suspicious about it
"Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau" is one of the most interesting and entertaining film documentaries I've watched in recent years.
Hell yes! I feel like I already know so much about this production (through the Lost Soul doc as well as various videos) and yet and I'm so excited to watch another video on it.
It's hilarious to think that most of the important people only wanted to take part in this to work with Brando and then it turned out he's one of the worst people to work with
In his defense, most of the productions were he was an asshole he had some serious personal problems, so even though his behaviour is unnacceptable, you can see why he wasn't cooperative, the dude wasn't in a good headspace. Again, not justifying, just having a bit of empathy for the guy
And to add to all that above, mostly he wasn't being a cunt like Val Kilmer but he just didn't really care anymore, and would do ridiculous shit or whatever he felt was comfortable. He knew what movies were just a paycheck. Had Stanley been there, and had he not had personal issues, I think he would've made more of an effort.
@@imaginekudryavka9485 yeah by this point in his career Brando just didn’t give a crap anymore. This is the same guy who was offered the main villain role in an animated film and decided “no I want to voice this old lady, I’ll even wear a dress and makeup whilst I record it”
I feel bad for the crew that cared for the original version of the movie, even after all that happened they still respected and wanted the original director, feel like they must have had some passion for the script original story
I knew someone who was on this set and he told a story that you'll probably find amusing. So Faruza Balk approached Marlon Brando while he was chatting with some friends. She told him that they should probably talk about their characters' relationship. Brando said, "Imagine... a big rose colored basket." "Uh-huh," Balk said, hanging on his every word. "Now imagine this big, rose colored basket the size of New York." "Uh-huh." "Now imagine this big, rose colored basket the size of New York filled with hundred dollar bills. That's how much they're paying me to be in this piece of shit. And that's the nature of our relationship." He then turned back to his friends and continued talking to them. Also, Kilmer was keen on getting to know Brando because he had recently been in the film Thunderheart, and he thought it made them kindred spirits since they both showed sensitivity to the natives. (Yeah, I know.) Kilmer kept trying to chat with him about this subject, and Brando kept ignoring him because he saw him for the pretentious asshole he was. (Of course, it's the pot calling the kettle black, but whatever.) Thought you might like those little tidbits.
I know I'm a year late to this but I couldn't agree more, I loved the H G Wells book and was excited when I found out about this film, went to the cinema to see it and was massively disappointed. I would love to have been able to see Stanley's version of it, I think it could have been amazing.
@@robotzombie4754 Yeah Richard Stanley burned and shredded a lot of important note for production after he was fired and then disappeared in the jungle for a few months.
It was a good film to be an extra on. The catering was great, made a nice little packet without doing much hard yakka and almost everyone wore crazy squishy/rubbery heads and masks, so to this day I have no idea who I am in the background (if I made it onscreen at all lol). Bonus :D
I’ll give Kilmer credit for apologizing to Richard Stanley after Stanley was fired from the production. But boy were his fights with Frankenheimer during this legendary
Check out Terry Gilliam's history. Nearly every movie he's every made had a production that was somewhere between "troubled" and "absolute cluster-fuck", and all for the craziest reasons, like a random flash-flood, or being denounced by the Pope.
@@mttylerdurden9 Yes, or, another one, having the studio head change. Ned Tannen OK'd Brazil, and, after it was complete, Sid Sheinberg refused to release it. Like, it's already done, fucker, just print it.
Funny that Frankenheimer was essentially hired specifically to deal with Kilmur, yet he was better at pushing around everyone EXCEPT the man he was meant to.😥
The fact that you mentioned that Brando and the small man character inspired Dr Mephesto from South Park made me remember that Dr Mephesto is known for creating genetic abominations and was apart of NAMBLA aka the national Association of Marlon Brando look alikes
I wanted to create a game based on the book "The Island of Dr. Moreau" as my final project for university. Now I'm glad I quit that idea and changed the subject of my game.
@@pontiusporcius8430 The idea was to have a game set after the story of the book. The player searches the island for clues to find ot if the narrator of the book was telling the truth or had just gone mad. Another student is still working on the project, but I quit it because our team didn't work.
@@raccoonja5905 Reminds me of Jurassic Park: Tresspasser. Where the protag arrives on Site B after the events of the second movie. She explores, avoids being raptor chow all while Hammond’s memoirs narrate the story.
Not gonna lie, I think Marlon Brando's suggestions actually worked really well - the mini-me, bucket hat, Pope-mobile and even the line about feeling hot, were all really memorable and added to the sheer insanity of the island itself. Except the dolphin... not the dolphin.
They were at the very least memorable, which is more than what the rest of the movie had going for it. People going in to see Dr. Moreau expecting weird hybrids and a generic jungle setting as its main visuals. No one expects to see Brando with a tiny man as his personal side kick while both are wearing a white gossamer robe and headdress
agreed; and fortunately unfortunate that Kilmers outlook on life at the time made him perfect for his role as well. One of my favorite movies because its so unhinged while still having a deep seeded message that makes you question humanity.
@@dawnone8924 Knowing nothing about Kilmer's antics on set, I thought his performance was pitch perfect for the story and the bizarre setting. He seems to be channelling Hunter S. Thompson throughout, and the eccentric costume changes provide a valuable snapshot of classic 90's new age style.
I know Critical Drinker made a review on this, but I like it when multiple reviewers cover the same movie. They often talk about different aspects of the film, and have unique takes on it. It's nice to see multiple perspectives on the same topic.
I could hardly care about the critical drinker, he bluntly didn't care about the suicide squad a couple months ago and he said it might fail. no look where are today. the suicide squad is so critical acclaimed.
@@crowdemon_archives unfortunately, the screenwriter of that movie accuse him of being an abusive asshat which lead to him being unable to finish his intended trilogy. I guess is that because of the movie's problems that Stanley turned into an abusive husband. Although time will tell that either Scarlett Amaris was saying the truth of she just saw Amber Heard and said "Hold my Beer".
This is basically like the Episode "Queen Banana" from Miraculous Ladybug. Chloe constantly changes the plot of her classes movie against the majority of the casts wishes and doesn't even show up during filming.
If there is anything I have learned from this movie and Apocalypse Now, it is never do a movie with Marlon Brando in a jungle. Apparently those two elements together is an offering that the Gods of Chaos will reward in spades.
My favorite story from this fustercluck of movie production was when the original director manage to sneak back on set and end up in the movie as one of the animal hybrids.
The Island Of Dr Moreau is a great book that really shows that what happens when you take away the humanity from humans. So my god I hate this fucking movie
This is one of those real "what if" movie experiences, as in: what if Stanley had gotten to make the film he intended, a modest $10m thriller with a decent cast and offbeat perspective on the material; what if Brando's daughter hadn't died and his enthusiasm for the project gone with her; what if another genre director, one who perhaps could've understood the take on Wells' novel and brought an appropriate sensibility to it - like maybe John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Clive Barker, David Fincher or even David Cronenberg - could've been persuaded to take up the picture instead of the alcoholic burnout Frankenheimer, whether it still might have been salvageable... We'll never know obviously, and it's a shame, since a definitive film version of the Wells story is still yet to be made.
Back then, David Fincher would say, "Fuck you" to New Line after 20th Century Fox ruined his film Alien 3. Like 20 minutes that were crucial to the film were cut and his desire to build a grand stage was reduced. This is not how you treat the guy who directed Madonna's Vogue and made it popular. Luckily, it seems he has the creative freedom for his films but he's proven to be a mind freak if you read what actors Jake Gyllenhaal and RDJ spoke about working with Fincher on the true-crime thriller Zodiac. Gyllenhaal was reduced to tears by Fincher's continuous demands for repetitive takes, some of which he deleted via the digital cameras he was using. RDJ left piss jars as Fincher was very strict with bathroom breaks. The guy would have been utter chaos in the film as he's also considered difficult to work with as the conflicting egos from Kilmer and Brando would have resulted in murder perhaps. Though to be fair, most of the actors he has worked with often praise him will also hating his perfectionism so he might have done things well but who knows.
With all the curses on the production of this film I don't think anyone would want to make a film adaptation of it for a very long time. It's like H. G. Welles is trying to tell people "just read the fu*king book" from beyond the grave by haunting anyone who's doing anything about adaptations of it.
The best part is when Richard Stanley comes back with a vengence in horror films with "The Color Out of Space" after over 10 years. Seriously go see that film. Also go see Hardware
The worst part of the notorious production is it gets in the way of discussing the book's interesting themes and why Resident Evil 8 named a villain after a character. (Up and down, up and down! I'm the best! I plugged the exit)
... The French government... Detonated... A nuke... Next to... Marlon Brando's private island... While he was mourning the death of his daughter. Jesus, that's a lot of bad piled into one sentence.
Imagine being Marlon Brando you’re just getting some alone time at your island to just contemplate what happened and how your daughter is gone then suddenly you hear a big boom and see a mushroom cloud outside your window
You may have had a production hell like this movie but the biggest difference is, they went through all that crap and made a wet fart of a movie. You went through all your crap and made a entertaining and well put together video. Nice going man, you did well.
Dude. I feel the worse for Stanley. As a writer, I can say getting my name slapped on something that was my project and having it turn into something I had no influence on, but still had my name on it… would be the worst damn thing. Look, if I write something that sucks; okay. That’s fair, I mean, stuff I think is awesome isn’t necessarily what everyone thinks is awesome… but at least it sinks or swims by my skill. If nobody likes it, well, I mean… I get it. But it’s mine and I can at least take pride in the fact it’s out there and hate it or love it, at least it’s there and it’s mine. Maybe it’ll become a cult classic for people who loved it or thought it was bad enough to be fun… I’d be ashamed if it were awesome and it wasn’t my work and I’d be pissed if it bombed and had my name on it and it wasn’t my fault… Gonna be a bumpy ride if my work ever gets picked up by anybody in the industry… 😣
Dr Moreau was my grand mother’s favorite movie for many years. We went to see in twice in the theaters. I got it for her on DVD not too long before she passed away but she could never figure out how to use the DVD player so I don’t think she ever watched it unless I was there to start the movie for her.
Ron Perlman has two chapters in his memoir: "Easy Street (The Hard Way)", dedicated to his time on The Island of Dr Moreau. Some key points in those chapters: - Richard hired Ron because he was a fanboy of his, liking a lot of the performances he did in makeup. - Much like a lot of people in the film, Ron wanted to do it to work with his idol; Marlon Brando. - It was Ron's idea to play The Sayer blind. He suggested it to John Frankenheimer, who loved the idea, allowing the makeup team to give Ron milky contact lenses. When he wore them, he was actually blind. - When Ron first met Marlon (Ron was in full makeup as The Sayer), Marlon thought he was the makeup effects artist. - Nelson de la Rosa was known for being a sex addict on set. Sometimes he would have trouble walking (Due to his height), so he'd have these two young female helpers to take care of his every need. He spent his time tweaking their nipples. When he was carried over to meet Brando, he was trying to remove his helper's breast from her blouse. - When Marlon asked Nelson how many films he had been in, Nelson said "two". Ron quipped; _"Yeah, and both of 'em were this one"_ . Brando gave Ron a sad look. - During the trial scene, Frankenheimer wanted a close up of Brando. Marlon refused to do the scene unless the extras were given shade or a coke, offering to buy each one a bottle with his own money. He also said; _"And by the way, get rid of this guy, because he's bothering me."_ . He was referring to Ron. - Brando referred to Frankenheimer as a "Nazi" for refusing to give in to his demands during the trial scene. John asked how Marlon could call him that. Marlon said he knew what it was like to be a Nazi because of his performance in Young Lions (Marlon played a german officer). - One day, Ron was sitting on a stool, he felt two hands violently hit his shoulder. He got a fright, it was Marlon. He realised that Ron was actually blind during filming. Marlon asked John to reshoot the trail, but John refused. Marlon respected Ron for playing it blind, thanking him for gifting him afro caribbean cd's. Marlon said: _"That shit is great! You shoulda come to my trailer. I been dancing my ass off the whole time!"_ . He went on to tell him; _"You're playing blind. You're playing the guy who's responsible for justice, blind. That's fucking genius."_ - Ron learned that Marlon was a fan of his performances in Quest for Fire and Name of the Rose. He requested John give Kilmer's lines to Ron, saying _"There's a guy who could actually handle it."_
How do you follow the Empress Theresa video? Why, with a movie starring a poorly cast Hollywood icon, fraught with production issues and cast in-fighting, of course! Your channel has my heart and all of my attention ❤️
@@LucyLioness100 hindsight is 20/20. Seems like the movie's ultimate fate wouldn't have been TOO hard to predict in real-time, but alas, it was not to be. Even as the chips started to fall, it seems as though TOO MUCH had been endured and invested by all involved, to shit can the production entirely. And thank God they didn't, because the entire story is so so funny 🤣
@@LucyLioness100 You basically described Aguirre: The Wrath of God. Except that film turned out to be a success and the actor and director who tried killing themselves ended becoming friends.
Ironic the studio wanted to have big name actors to make the film a success. Big names actors doesn't mean your film will be good especially if they cannot work with others.
Hollywood needs to get into the mindset of casting actors based on the actors' strengths and how well suited they are to the characters. Not casting based on who's on this years A List. This especially applies to voice acting, cuz the actor isn't on screen, they're just reduced to a voice. Casting by name over suitability is how we got stuff like Chris Pratt voicing Mario and Garfield...
In regards to his comments about actors vs directors go, my immediate response would be, "When in front of the camera the actor does what the director tells them, so smile for the camera and act as directed." No one should be able to get away with treating their colleagues and/or employers badly just because they have what is essentially immunity to being fired. Kilmer's actions were just awful, and Brando has no excuse either. I will say that at least he wasn't Kilmer levels of terrible, but his failure to be the bigger person about it clearly lead to more problems. I do think it was pretty cool of him in a way to have the 2 foot tall actor in the spotlight instead of a bit-part.
@@retrocatalog I had no idea that had occurred. You're definitely right about it being wild. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my comment. I hope you're doing well :)

Hey, at least Tropic Thunder was about dudes playing dudes disguised as other dudes. And there was nothing catastrophic other than Owen Wilson's part had to be replaced by his friend/ actor-director Ben Stiller due to the tragic suicide attempt that Owen was recovering from and the erratic weather and difficult terrain the crew dealt with when filming on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i. The controversy regarding Simple Jack and especially RDJ's role as an Australian method actor doing blackface for an Oscar were prominent features of concern when making this film and today, people still have mixed opinions over this decision calling it excellent satire or distasteful.
@@rickardkaufman3988 He was....refering to the PLOT of the movie not its production, and it was all obviously non subtle SATIRE nothing wrong with Kirk Lazarus and especially simple jack which was a JAB at people who fail miserably to portray autistic characters
@@rickardkaufman3988 Wait really? Owen Wilson of all people? He seems like the most non depressed laid back dude ever. Then again Robin Williams. Glad Owen is still with us. Miss you Robin.
@@theangryholmesian4556 Yeah, he was severely depressed and attempted suicide and had to be treated for depression. It wasn't a good time for his life back then. His brother Andrew and friend Ben Stiller helped him.
It amuses me how listening to how difficult working with Kilmer, Brando, and various directors reminds me of dealing with public school admins. Egos and obstinence abound.
This entire thing feels like a beginner fanfic writer reaching around desperately for a way to escalate the stakes, and in the end they start throwing everything they have at the wall in the hope that something sticks.
You should definitely follow up with Apocalypse Now simply because Marlon Brando was equally if not more of a pain in the neck to work with, not to mention Martin Sheen nearly game ended himself due to overexertion and had to drag himself back to camp through the jungle.
Martin’s substance abuse didn’t help him either as he was frequently drunk or high. He ended up with a heart attack due to the overextension & heat of the Philippines. Thankfully he cleaned up and still gave us a great performance (among numerous others)
@@LucyLioness100 Plus, Coppola almost went mad and he was forced to make multiple re-writes, lost weight, and even contemplated suicide. Plus, the sets were destroyed by a typhoon and the production took so long that Laurence Fishburne who lied about his age to get a role was the appropriate age to have auditioned it in the first place after the film was completed after 5 years. Plus, Sheen suffered a hand injury when he broke his hand on the mirror in the infamous drinking scene.
@@rickardkaufman3988 If i remember rightly, you can actually see him mouthing 'Francis!" as he calls out the director's name in that sequence. He had a genuine drunken meltdown. Quite heart-breaking, really - and almost literally, in the end. He's lucky to be alive :-/
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Well, nobody escaped unscathed from that film. Not even Coppola's career. He would make a few decent films before he crashed. Today, he does restorations of his films and is in the wine business as his film company went bankrupt when making One for the Money (1982).
I think one of the most indicative moments of this hell on Earth was the fact that one of the female production crew members was so stressed and miserable and felt so belittled that the poor thing actually straight up tried to FLEE THE SET, but she was caught and forced to return to the set
@@DavidLopez-tj7jl Check out the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse if you want to know what went wrong during Apocalypse Now's production. Just to mention a few things Martin Sheen had a near fatal heart attack on set, Dennis Hopper got Laurence Fishburne hooked on heroine, Francis Ford Coppola threatened to end his life on 3 separate occasions, weather conditions destroyed many of the sets, and real dead bodies were used for the outdoor temple scenes supplied by a local grave robber. Of course Apocalypse Now turned out good unlike Island of Dr. Moreau.
Damn and i thought Crow's production was a nightmare, at the very least Crow is a great movie... I always felt that The Island of Dr Moreau was insane, as in characters, events and even the plot felt like it was produced in a mental asylum, the only thing you feel while watching it is constant anxiety and weirdness... turns out i was right.
I feel like this is one of the biggest reasons why Fairuza Balk stopped acting. Also, your Raycon ad was actually pretty good. There are only a scant few RU-vidrs whose commercials I sit though.
I'm a Balk Fanboy, I agree to an extent. She continued to act, but most of her subsequent roles were either far less high profile/indie offerings (American Perfekt), or obviously benign/silly projects (The Waterboy). But yeah, she eviscerates the Hollywood Machine in "Lost Soul".
@@morden279 I'm a Balk fangirl, myself. What can I say? I loved _Return to Oz_ as a child, and _The Craft_ came out right in the heat of my adolescence. I'm straight, but I've got a little crush on her. She just has such a captivating look, and it's a shame that she decided to fade away from the spotlight. But I respect her decision. Fame isn't right for everyone.
While tragic how the original production went, I still love what we got. I went in just a few years ago with no expectations. Val's scream near the end when he is being grabbed while cosplaying as Brando's character, I love it.
The humidity in Cairns is stifling so I sympathise with the cast (fun fact Woolworths is one of the largest supermarket chains in Australia so that was the context of "there's been a robbery at Woolworths")
@@holidayin7962 Amazon Prime's The Boys. You know, the one where superheroes are controlled by a pharma-PMC company and its leader superhero is basically a Superman Duke Nuke-em person with a sex and milk fetish and dealing with an Oedipus Complex. And in season two, he dates a Nazi and is the baby daddy of his antagonist's wife's child who was raped by him. Plus, the show is a complete critique of woke brands, racism and corporatism, rape culture, celeb frat pack life, Scientology, Evangelicalism, the military-industrial network, and the centrist to the alt-right rabbit hole. Also, there are some good moments like this romance story with a superhero who hates the company and one of the guys who works for a group taking down the superheroes.
As someone who lives in Australia when you mentioned that the director tried to get an First Nations persons to hit someone with a Digaridoo I actually let out a gasp becuase I know how wrong that is to even play around with a Dig.
I was going to say "at least the movie wasn't film in a nuclear test site like The Conqueror", but what do you know: The French managed to sneak nuclear weapons into the story anyway...
Just wanted say you did a pretty good job with the pronunciation of Hoffschneider. Also, I love whenever Keanu Reeves is used as the epitome of human decency. I love that man so much!
I remember the stories Orgy every night Even one of the actors as soon as no one was looking at her, straight up drove to the airport and almost left but got caught by the crew
I mean, I always know that Hollywood often has behind the scenes drama, but HOLY SCHNIKES, between the clash of egos, yeah... Never meet your heroes indeed.
my per theory is that Brando was so ticked at Richards firing he purposefully wrecked it up. cause he could and he hated the big shot production/ studio people.
Gotta love that David Attenborough impression. Also, I would personally say that you CAN meet your heroes, but you should also NEVER keep your hopes up. Always be at least a little bit skeptical. Because like you said, your idol can be a prick, or even worse. (Also as a furry I actually appreciate your jokes xD)
I honestly feel bad for Marlon Brando, Ron Pearlman, and everyone affected by Val Kilmer's diva behavior. It honestly feels like Brando hadn't processed his grief properly after Cheyenne died.
I feel like Marlon whilst weird did have some good intentions, the fact that he warned David to get the fuck out of dodge at least showed he didn’t want to subject anybody else to the hell that was this movie
She didn't die she killed herself. Big difference. Usually suicides aren't tragic accidents but people think it through and mostly have serious reasons to off themselves.
The Drinker is an exceptional channel.. His vid on this is great, but so is yours, and the difference in presentation styles is refreshing. Dont stop yourself from making great videos just because its a topic someone else already covered. its nice to see different takes on things, keep up the great work!
If you're looking for something, I happen to know of a cursed Japanese story: Yotsuya Kaiden, or sometimes known as The story of Oiwa (o-ee-wa) and Tamiya Iemon (ee-eh-mon). It's an old somewhat historic legend about a scorned woman who becomes a ghost to haunt her complete asshole husband, but if the product crew doesn't visit her grave to pay respects, the production team gets hit with numerous setbacks, and the actress playing Oiwa often ends up getting sick or badly injured. It's an interesting story to at least check out.
I saw a Nepali movie called Jungle Love on that site. The whole film is sadly blocked off the site in most countries nowadays, mostly because of its crude image quality and the glaring amounts of literary Tarzan references that it has. Not much is known about its production other than the possible fact that it is one of the many troubling factors that caused one of its stars, poor Jessica Khadka, to commit suicide. An obituary near the very beginning of said film has a picture of her as a result!
11:46 when I heard that first half I was genuinely worried you were going to reveal that some of the animals were harmed or even killed in the hurricane, or that Stanley was harmed by the animals or the hurricane, or any combination of those events, but when you revealed what actually happened I was so not expecting that I couldn't stop laughing
The one positive is between scenes where Brando grabbed Ron Perlman by the shoulders after realizing Perlman was playing the Sayer of the Law blind and Perlman saying something along the lines of, “You’re fucking with me, Marlon. We’ve been filming this scene how many fuckin’ weeks and you’re realizing this now?”
The introduction should be: The film crew want to film about Dr Moreau found themselves on the isolate island, days by days, slowly drift into madness like the ones they filmed.
I like the intro. You're just as comedic as good as a critic. There's a few movies that must be ripped apart. Can't wait to see Space Jam II ripped apart by you.
As underwhelming as the finished film was (and yes, that's all I consider it to be: not bad, just underwhelming), I'm so glad we didn't get Stanley's version. Yes, the circumstances under which he was fired were horrid but you can't say it's not without reason. The David Thewlis character being a lawyer would've added nothing to the story and the animal sex would've sent it from sci-fi to exploitation in record time.
@@giovannirastrelli9821 Most of the reviews on youtube about this movie are only *speaking* about the movie without showing clips of the movie. And it is for a good reason.
Rented this when my grandparents took me to blockbuster, when it came out. Only watched half of it, it was so bad. Only thing I liked about it was Fairuza Balk. However, if I want to see her in a movie, I'll just rent The Craft or Waterboy.
