He actually won that academy award eventually. For his work on Total Recall. Oh, and he also worked on RoboCop. His imagination produced the body and armor design for the RoboCop character.

People then had more fun

I hope to see your amazing Art work Rob Bottin again soon, practical Effects are Awesome, cgi can be to much in films it Can ruin it, I think cgi should only be Used when it can't be done practically.

Guys like Stan Winston, Rick Baker and Rob Bottin brought this art form to a whole new level with their films. But its important to never forget, they stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before them. Its great to see those people getting the credit they deserve in this.

Bobby Osbourne on Guitar and Sax. I knew him in Lake Worth Florida. Great guy and musician.

I really love that 70s fashoin of long middle part mullet with mutton chop beard and mustache with shirt buttons undone and large oversized glasses ❤❤❤❤

Best make-up FX EVER!

My favorite werewolf movie The Howling

God that hairy chest is so iconic

Think about the great sculptors that have lived throughout the centuries. Michelangelo, Bernini, Tillman Reminsnider etc... Rob (as well as others) have definitely been carrying the torch for this art form, helping to inspire the next generation. Thank you Mr. Bottin for all the amazing work!

The Bernini of movies

Rob Bottin is the Bernini of sculpture and special effects in movies. Amazing artist.

great ... thank you for sharing ‼‼‼

Hölle Jaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bääääämm!

..then Baker helped/taught to Rob Bottin and then CGI came up and kind of stopped the cycle.......

Great hair

Fx master

Damn he looks like a porn star...some prime male beef they don't make them like back them anymore.

THE KINGS 👑

This movie still scares me til this day and the most Wonderful Way!!!

Ironically, in the scene shown @ 0:55 onwards, it was Stan Winston who created the special f/x. Also at 1:35 & 4:51!

Don't forget Stan Winston who created the kennel effects.

I wish we could see that monster at 2:53 in the Thing too.

3:30 So that's why wolf man was removed! George sure holds a grudge.

When modern art works perfectly!

Where is Bottin today?

William Hurt puts on a performance even during makeup tests!

Forget Busby Berkeley, this is the greatest dance sequence I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

I saw an article on Rick Baker in 1981 and decided that I wanted to be a special effects makeup artist. I wrote a letter to Dick Smith and started sending him photos of my work. By 1985 I started working on little student films and it's been over 35 years and I'm still working. These guys in particular set and example of excellence and helped me and thousands of others. Dick is gone and Rick has retired, but there are new guys and guys like me who are still creating this stuff. It's never boring.

That was a 21 yr old in 1981. Damn, talk about werewolfy. He was hirsute for a 21 yr old.

Amazing Special Effects Rob Bottin I have these movie Films The Howling, American Werewolf in London &The Thing God Bless You Rob your An Truly Amazing Artists.

If anyone ever talks to Rob. Tell him that Robert Englund was inquiring about him, and he has some great things to say about him.

What movie is the first clip of them drinking out of the punch bowl from?
