Totally awesome. Can you review Fun Size (2012), Frankenweenie, Corpse Bride, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and The Scream Team?

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another really interesting fact from this movie is: Michael J. Fox performed many of his own stunts in the film. Ironically, he broke his foot by a simple fall while filming in the forest at night. Sir Peter Jackson said Fox's injury was actually a blessing in disguise, because it allowed him to work on the script some more, and edit some of the film's scenes, while Fox recovered for a week.

[@matriaxpunk]

The whole movie is really about Frank accepting his wife's death and moving on, I think he has plenty of personality and a great character arc. The state of his house at the begining is a metaphor of his own life, that's why he doesn't want to abbandon it but he doesn't take care of it either. In the end, he builds a new house.

[@crowz6247]

I think critics, and Critic, missed that Frank is still grieving hard. So all he does is go through the motions of daily life. He doesn't lack charisma; he's depressed and kind of lost sight of why he should even care or try.

[@matriaxpunk]

@@crowz6247 for shure. It's also very telling that he can see ghosts and kinda works with them and befriends them, because he himself has also become a ghost, a sort of "living dead", after the death of his wife. He doesn't really want to live anymore, that's why he doesn't even flinch when he realizes that he must be dead to fight the evil ghost. He was willing to blow his head off until she tells him she can freeze him instead.

[@missolivie]

[@1heKing]

[@johnnysparkle]

Executive Meddling: The film was originally intended to open close to Halloween, but Universal was so impressed with the rough cut of the film that they pushed up the release to July 19, 1996 (against Peter Jackson's wishes) as they didn't have anything opening that month. The choice of date (less than three weeks after Independence Day opened, combined with the Atlanta Summer Olympics starting that day) was considered by Jackson the main reason why the film flopped at the box office. Some good Executive Meddling came out of this movie. Jackson making this movie for only $26 million (with the incredible effects done at his company Weta Digital) were what convinced studio heads that a large-scale production of The Lord of the Rings could be done without an exorbitant budget.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Then again, it's thanks to this movie not being a box office hit and the 1998 releases of "Disney's Mighty Joe Young" & "Roland Emmerich's Godzilla" that Universal Pictures canned Peter Jackson's earlier attempt of a "KING KONG" remake until after his "LOTR Trilogy" was a smash hit.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

@@JOSH-lw2jv That was for the better imo, if the end product is anything to go by.

[@mullaoslo]

I was kinda aware of it being a flop in the cinemas but I remember the vhs was EVERYWHERE.. Everyone owed it or rented it regularly (or taped it off TV).. It found an audience very quickly

[@zigslotheon]

So what you’re saying is this movie walked so LOTR could run!

[@kingsleycy3450]

Again I get the reminder that all my favorite movies only happened by accident.

[@nathanforester5993]

Jeffrey Combs in this...oh yes, I believe that he's one of the very best examples of an actor who can play different degrees of insane. Even better when you hear Combs's actual voice doesn't sound like the voice he uses, he basically puts on a 'creepy'evil' voice for some of his characters. Also yeah Robert Zemeckis DID do a Tales From The Crypt episode ('Yellow') and also Death Becomes Her was originally going to be one too (the theme from the show is in the trailer). And also we KNOW that Sgt Hartman ended up there after what happened to him. Still a much better Haunted Mansion than Eddie Murphy's one (and right up there with the Muppet one). Jeffrey Combs as mentioned...he is very much if Dale Cooper actually never recovered from the experience of being in the black lodge, he is an agent who very much got involved with various cults and it's all over his body....all the markings and scars, his body is a roadmap of pain. Chances are Mr Crocker was based on this character (as well as Eugene Levy in Splash). Slimer should be happy because Ghostbusters did get two movies that weren't reboots and also CarrotJuice would be glad to know that Beetlejuice is getting a sequel.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Fun Fact: The character of Hiles was written as a parody of the Drill Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket, with Peter Jackson assuming they would get a local actor from New Zealand to play the role. However, they approached R. Lee Ermey himself and he accepted.

[@shadejakva9367]

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

What's sad about the Judge is originally the Judge did not vanish from the film after the museum scene. More scenes were shot of the character after he is cut in half, including him crawling around on his hands in the museum, Frank meeting him during the cemetery battle in which he would help Frank fight the Reaper, after which he remarks 'Got to hand it to you Frank, you've defeated Death himself!' and a appearance at the end where he and Rustler the Dog say goodbye to Frank and head out west. These scenes were cut due to pacing reasons and were not added back in for the director's cut due to insufficient funds to properly finish the effects, but can be viewed on the deleted scenes section of the making of documentary.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

The reason they weren't added back in was insufficient funds? That's news to me.

Deleted Role: A character, the Gatekeeper, was deleted from the movie. He was supposed to be a 6-foot cherub and function as a sidekick to R. Lee Ermey's Hiles, but all remnants of him was removed completely from the movie when it was realized that his character, besides being superfluous, didn't really make a lick of sense within the universe of the movie. Divorced Installment: The film was originally going to be a Tales from the Crypt movie, but when the producers thought it had potential as its own story, it was reworked into one without any connection to that series.

This was originally going to a Tales From The Crypt, but became its own movie Instead. It would have been the first TFTC movie to have a happy ending.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

To quote the late great Norm Macdonald and something i'm sure Jeffrey Combs might be thinking about is "You ever lie for no reason at all? Just all of sudden, a big lie spills out of your evil head. Like a guy will come up to you, 'Hey, did you ever see that movie with Meryl Streep and a horse?' And you go, 'Yes.'
