Jack Black - Cable Guy

[@dante5622]

Rick is a true friend. Sad friends like that are never appreciated

[@petergresh516]

There's a deleted scene or it's in the novelization. He gets killed with the cable guy stapler gun

[@Vanghool87]

@@petergresh516 I understand why they left that out. Would have been just a little much for this already dark movie. I mean, if they want to leave it in, they could just have Chip injure Rick with it so he be out of the way while he recovered at the hospital or something.

I wonder if Jack black learned something about comedy from being in this movie with Jim Carrey because after this Jack black became a lot more hysterical

I definitely think he was taking notes.

Saw this in theaters in 96, good movie and the soundtrack! What a soundtrack indeed.

[@tmm4461]

It was a time when mainstream had actually artistic (demanding music) bands like Alice in Chains and Faith no more. For a time.

[@abunidalparedes]

The difference between Rick and the Cable Guy. Rick is actually a true, trusted and a real friend. Chip is the most troubled, eccentric and intrusive who waltzed in the the life of a normal everyman. Rick gets an A+ for being a true friend. Sorry Chip you got an F due to your behavior.

[@jedhawkins1769]

That's because Rick knew Steven longer than anyone else. And the cable guy just has terrible social skills when it comes to trying to socialize with his customers.

[@maliant16]

Rick is his brother…

[@abunidalparedes]

@@maliant16 non-blood related, it shows that their friendship is true, honest and backing each other up. 1. Steven made a phone call to Rick when he first moved to his own apartment. 2. Invited him to a karaoke party. 3. He and Steven played Basketball at the Gymnasium in which Chip just waltz in without telling Steven and literally destroying the game. 4. Rick visiting Steven at a construction site about an upcoming concert. 5. Rick drives Steven home. 6. Rick starts to investigate Chip at Steven request and it was revealed that Chip was fired from the Cable Company for stalking customers and uses various aliases from television shows characters. The name Chip Douglas is from My Three Sons.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

@@abunidalparedes Do u know if Ben Stiller wrote the script? I really like the story and, just like Robin Williams, Jim Carrey is really good at being a creepy villain outside of having a funny reputation.

[@javiernarvaez5297]

Even when Steven turned down going to a concert with Rick and blowing him off, Rick still helped him out. That’s a true friend.

[@TakeThisification]

I just now realized that Jack Black in this movie was sampled by Rise Against for their first album

[@camschuster5947]

“Really??? that’s sweet….” Still quote this to this day.

[@aceventuraify]

People often say High Fidelity was Jack Black’s breakthrough role but this was a massive role for him one year before High Fidelity.

Jim Carey is Jim Carey but jack black…. The most under appreciated master of comedy although the basketball scene is one of the greatest pieces of comedic art that ever happened. Love how jablinski’s rocking the sound garden superunkown shirt that was the concert they were going to go to that’s so dope to think of how this movie was made at the same time that iconic album came out and when this movie came out it was as a just another grunge album coming out now it’s one of the top ten albums from the entire 90s

Even in real life Bowser and Dr.Eggman is in the same movie just like in the Mario and Sonic Olympic games franchise and in Wreck it Ralph 1 since Jim Carrey is Dr.Eggman and Jack Black is Bowser its like they first met in 1996 Cable Guy until in 2008 Mario and Sonic Olympic game they meet again.

How much did Jack Black get paid on this movie

[@JPH1138]

For some reason your question motivated me to have a look, and unless Jack says it in an interview somewhere I can't find any way to see for sure. He's reasonably high up in the billing of the film, but he didn't make the cast listed on the film's poster. There was a lot of publicity for the headline stars of the film, as Jim Carrey was paid a then-unheard of $20m for the film, while Broderick got $2m. It's reasonably likely that Leslie Mann and George Segal would have got $1m+ for their roles, but the film's total budget was $45m so there wasn't a ton to splurge on cast salaries once the leads got paid, and Eric Roberts and Andy Dick (another actor with a regular spot on a sitcom) would have got more money than Black, who hadn't really had a breakout role yet. (This was 2 years even before he was one of the surveillance guys in Enemy of the State) I think his salary likely would have been somewhere around $50K, but that's largely just guess work on my part.

[@aceventuraify]

My guess would be 150k
