Ridley Scott & Tim Curry commentary from LEGEND

(español-English commentary)
En este vídeo vemos dos partes del documental de detrás de cámaras, entrevistas y comentarios de la película LEGEND
la primera parte "shadows of the darkness" explora un poco lo que fue la creación de Darkness, que es como la representación de la maldad dentro de la historia.
Un diseño interesante, un maquillaje inponente y una interpretacion intensa a cargo de Tim Curry hacen de este personaje inolvidable.
En la segunda parte "a dark day", el director Ridley Scott y miembros del reparto platican acerca de una anécdota terrible en el estudio de grabación , el cual queda consumido por un incendio desastroso, y
como curiosamente, las aves que vivían dentro del bosque creado para el filme tienen su parte protagonica

Too bad they don't make films like this anymore. CGI has made Hollywood lazy.

[@aleeshasurmon248]

He has deserved it for all of his roles! I love him!❤️❤️❤️

[@ABell-id3lc]

I know I am so mad I got the anniversary edition of E.T. on DVD and each scene with E.T. in it was replaced by CGI they completely removed the puppet/robot E.T. and that was the best part!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

[@killer92173]

Christopher Nolan is not a fan of CGI. Whether you like his films or not, he does as much practical effects as possible and only use CGI when he needs to.

[@killer92173]

Amanda Bell i thought the new Blu-Ray editions is the original edition because E.T. is practical and they give the agents their guns back.

[@pikppa]

CGI deserves the same respect as make up. It takes a lot of effort to make it, probably even more than old effects

[@HoustonSoto]

Tim deserved an Oscar Nomination for this performance.

[@nickmattio3397]

Pssh Try 2 Oscars he really was the Devil..."Mm Have A Lovely Daay!" Lol

[@Animal.Mother]

Best performance ever.....ever.

[@DTSsince2016]

John Curcio He really should have won a academy award for Best Actor for this movie! If Ridley Scott had decided to make another LEGEND movie, I would love to help him produce or co direct the film.

[@chadh3441]

I totally agree!

[@edpinto8335]

He deserves an Oscar only for existing

[@barbaraharney3050]

NO one could have portrayed this character better! Tim Curry's voice fits perfectly!

[@9ner4ever34]

Absolutely agree!!😃👌

[@valiantloony8336]

I would not like to even comprehend a world without the films- Legend, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Goonies, The Never Ending Story.

[@lohancindy5442]

Valiant Bruizer well said. The muppets. American werewolf in London. Star Wars. The road warrior. Indiana Jones. Back to the future.

[@ezakustam]

Then you should read The Neverending Story. The creature effects are great, but the book is VASTLY better than the movie.

[@MrBoDiggety]

It’s funny how you think something and then see someone comment on it on KZbin

[@david41686]

And Watership Down!!

[@Gwenhwyfar7]

Don't forget "Willow" and "The Last Unicorn"!

[@dogmandan79]

Best devil EVER! Hands down, no contest.

[@joegriego3091]

Actually not the Devil, rather the son of the Devil. In one scene, he is talking to the fireplace and calls it "Father".

[@Zero8880]

@@joegriego3091 He isn't referring to "THE Devil" as in Lucifer or Satan, but rather Devil as a species if you will.

[@kevinmaillet4712]

Yes!!!!!!! Couldn't agree more!!!!

[@TheProphegy]

He’s probably my favorite but Peter Stormare in the movie Constantine was epic too.

[@antwanjenkins6735]

Him and Al Pacino are the best on screen takes of Satan ever, in my opinion.

[@MsEnglishtea]

That evil laugh!!!! Tim is truly a national treasure!!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

This movie has influenced me in every way artistically. As a child, I was amazed by it...and as an adult, I still think it is one of the best fantasy films ever made.

[@RudalPL]

I stand with you, I feel exactly the same.

[@benjamingessel1590]

SLEEPTHIEFofficial I'm always about the fantasy movies, etc. that EXPAND your world/imagination, that have something REALLY there that is truly unique, memorable, deeply meaningful in often an indescribable way. For me, in addition to Legend (with live actors in fantasy), I'd add Ladyhawke, The Boy Who Could Fly, Mirror Mask, Willow, the Golden Compass, the Labyrinth, the Hobbit, the original Willy Wonka movie WITH the singing, the 1975 British Alice in Wonderland (ONLY certain parts, NOT the singing), Riddick, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and maybe a few others.

[@benjamingessel1590]

SLEEPTHIEFofficial And the Princess Bride is... (Sigh) A bit of a cliche in comedic fantasy now... :D

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I love the Princess Bride!

[@xultra_violetx]

S a m e e e

[@ikawtubo1968]

Always loved this movie. My goodness, zero digital effects and the set looks soooooo beautiful. I miss those days.

[@cybernautadventurer]

Transforming Tim Curry into Darkness was undoubtedly one of the greatest accomplishments in SFX history. I still can’t believe to this day that it was Tim Curry under that disguise. I mean, he was 8ft 1", the tallest monster ever played by a physical actor!!! But after listening to him in Ferngully and Mighty Max, I could easily recognise the voice. You cannot deny the man had one of the mightiest voices in Hollywood.

[@noahcorpus6609]

Who else could have played "Darkness" with just the right amount of humility, humanity.

[@elbartoso]

Noah Corpus any time i see or hear of a real bad guy in a movie i think of this man

[@benjamingessel1590]

Noah Corpus Christopher Lee would be a decent runner up I think. His height is in his favor, his very deep bass voice, as well as his eyes/expressions, but his mouth size isn't quite what Curry's is.

[@valiantloony8336]

Who else ? probably only the devil himself, but I think Tim Currys performance would still be better.

[@dariancoleman7184]

I think anyone could play Darkness you just have to channel those emotions.

[@Happyboymargarine]

Film is a visual fuckin masterpiece

[@TheMarvelousM]

The director's cut is pretty thought-provoking too!

[@davisanaiz6742]

Just like Bladerunner

[@largominus2011]

Tim made Legend, Legendary!

[@largominus2011]

The designers also need a huge round of applause for their amazing work!

No movie have ever captured again the magic this movie has, nightmares and dreams combined together

[@Miyavisgirl1540]

This movie was breathtaking! Tim Curry's performance was awesome! This is my all time favorite fantasy movie! ^^!

[@MsKekeChannel]

Most of today's actors wouldn't go through this type of 'suffering' for their art. (Especially now that technology has advanced to the point where we can 'create' CGI 'people') They should take a page out of Tim Curry's book, he's hardcore, which is why he's so highly regarded as an actor.

[@RudalPL]

I remember seeing this film on TV when I was a kid. One of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen! some 20 years later I bought it on DVD and still come back to it from time to time. People complain nowadays about "poor" effects of "old" films but they don't understand that it's not effects that make a great film, it's a story and the way that story is told (shown). I miss those days when you could watch something that would bewitched you and let your imagination to do the rest. Now we have transformers and films that you can only watch when you are drunk 'cause there is no other way to last 'till the end and not commit suicide...

[@parallelepipedique4434]

Thanks,man!

[@donaldmacintyre5840]

I actually prefer the effects from that time. Now they use digital effects and it just doesn't have the same grandeur.

[@hammypie]

completely agree!

[@jordanstefan1779]

Rudal and there was very little CGI

[@dariancoleman7184]

Transformer's was 🔥.

[@chantelleadlington]

I love Tim's voice 😍 it's so silky

[@TheRmm1976]

Lord of Darkess scared the HELL out of me as a kid when I saw this movie!!!

[@UltraspartanB312]

This man deserve an oscar

[@Ccortanaa]

It breaks my heart that Tim Curry is in such a bad health status. His stroke made it where we will never see him again, eventually we will see that he's died and i pray the world will pray for him. I love him so much for everything he has done in the entertainment industry, we all just sit here waiting for any news from him, but it will never happen until something dire is broadcast upon the news.....

[@missanna208802]

Tim Curry is an underrated actor, in my opinion. I first saw him in Clue, then in Legend, and then it was like IT and Criminal Minds. I am on a Tim Curry binge right now to catch up on all his work (minus the home alone sequel, I just can't).

[@a2mann]

Did you catch Rocky Horror Picture Show in there? And Scary Movie 2? Those are musts. 👌

[@HostaMahogey]

He wasn't so underrated in theater, he was nominated for 3 Tony awards

[@mandihyatt]

How about The Color of Magic? Or Over the Garden Wall? Both spectacular!!!

[@shawnadams1460]

This movie is still one of my top ten 80's choices!!! Tim Curry's LOD is BAR NONE the best interpretation of a devil character that i have EVER seen on film...

[@benjamingessel1590]

Margie Lazou Tim Curry, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Lee, Al Pacino, Willem Dafoe, Hugo Weaving, Jim Carrey, Jason Isaacs, and so forth. Angelica Huston and Bette Midler for the women. All of them just EXCEL at playing the big bad... :D

[@darrinmagnus1]

When I was a kid and first saw this movie as a preteen, I immediately recognized the voice of Tim Curry, but thought that the person wearing the makeup was the actor Brian Thompson who played the part of Bozworth in Fright Night #2.

Can't get enough of Tim , Bless him ❤.

[@kyfho47]

Tim Curry is brilliant and was PERFECT for this role. He made Darkness believable.

If only all Special Features about the making of a movie were this interesting!

[@alicialiserio7552]

So excited to say I saw this movie last night with my daughter and brother @Alamo Draft House in Corpus Christi TX and even 35 yrs later it is still one of the best movies... No one can top Tim Curry as Darkness...loved it!!!

[@tomgt007sugden]

Some of the best makeup I have ever seen even to this day.. blows my mined. Tim was incredible

[@weemadangus1834]

Tim nailed that part. I really love this film, enjoyed it as a child and a adult. Ridley playing tennis bit made me lol, a good lesson. Shame we miss what scene that set would have been used for.

[@FacetsOfTruth]

Absolutely awesome film. Tim was perfect in it. One of my favorite movies ever. In my top 10 for sure.

[@mandihyatt]

I love Tim Curry! So underrated. HE is a Legend!! I watched this growing up (the original version) & adore Tangerine Dream as well.

[@hindsightpov4218]

A film like Legend would never be made again with the way how films are made now. Legend is a real jewel among fantasy films.

[@adampalagi1130]

This movie delivers the heaviest dose of nostalgia from my childhood. Probably seen it 100 times.

[@DarkRider69]

Rob Bottin is a freaking genius. 30+ years on, Darkness remains the best single-character makeup in film history, IMO. Just brilliant. And, as Ridley mentioned, well-engineered, to boot. It's one thing to turn a man into a 13-foot-tall demon. Quite another to make it possible for him to do that full-tilt run he does in it.

[@valiantloony8336]

Tim Curry is and always will be a LEGEND.

[@SheldonLudlow]

I love that the Devil is British.

[@Syklonus]

Most fantasy films feature characters with English accents as it maintains the "old world" feeling. I can't imagine someone like Frodo running around with a broad NY accent. It would kill the vibe.

[@hindsightpov4218]

It would be interesting if an English language fantasy film had German and French accents among the main characters.

[@felixhorn2559]

David Bennent would have had a German accent if they wouldn't have dubbed him. That ruined it for me. It's just not the same voice as in "The Tin Drum"

[@hindsightpov4218]

@@felixhorn2559 Technically Bennent would have an Austrian accent in his original voice recording. The studio didn’t like his real voice because they said he sounded like a Nazi. Ridley Scott tried to bring Bennent’s original voice track for the Director’s Cut but couldn’t find that audio recording.

[@maddiehayes1820]

I love too!

[@garrghhh]

Phenomenal commentary - thanks so much for posting this! Really highlights some key aspects: the "architecture" (i.e., art + engineering) of the Darkness costume and physical demands on / from Curry. Even before this moment, when Mr Scott was discussing aspects earlier, and I was thinking about the movie, Rocky Horror Picture Show as the kind of portfolio item you'd be looking for ... was right up there in my mind. But, then, the prompting provided to more specifically consider the challenges - really brings home how incredibly well this all came together and how brilliant the set up and people involved were / are.

[@weedhound6662]

This movie is burnt in my brain from child hood one of my favorites

[@LadybugsTX]

Still.. to this day even, the best devil on film ever...

[@BloodylocksBathory]

This guy (and strangely Rochefort from the Disney version of Three Musketeers) were likely the reason I'm so drawn to villains nowadays. And monster men lol

[@kalmonds]

Ah! So it was a Disney flick! That movie was my absolute favorite retelling of The Three Musketeers.

[@Dweller415]

This was yet another character that Tim Curry nailed.

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Superb video! Thank you very much for taking the time to share it with us!

[@shewolfsiren]

I heard a quote once when I was a child that has stayed with me: “Sometimes even the devil deserves a LITTLE pity.” That certainly holds true in “Legend” if you stop and think about it. The devil in this particular case is a victim of Fate. He was BORN like this, he wasn’t made like this! He didn’t choose to look like that; who willingly chooses to be ugly? What’s more, he said himself, “Sunlight is my destruction!” So, for him, evil isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity. In a way, he’s just like all the other unfortunate people suffering from xendoderma pigmentosum, one of the original sources for the vampire curse--a potentially FATAL condition triggered by exposure to sunlight. Imagine seeing so much beauty linked to a spring/summer/fall/winter day, but never getting to share in it, because if you do, it’ll most likely be your last day alive. Wouldn’t that make you sad and mad? Also, when Darkness goes and allows himself to fall in love--possibly for the very first time ever in his life--what happens? The woman he loves fears and loathes him! What’s more, she uses his feelings for her to get close enough to the unicorn to free it, thereby all but guaranteeing Darkness’ death! First heartbreaks are the worst, especially for those who’ve never gotten to know the sweetness of love before! Anyway, I’ve said my peace, and will welcome any feedback for it. It can be an official debate thing.

[@noelohashirodriguez]

This is a peace of art which explores Welness x Imprisonment in the lives of animals, including us humans, through the choices we make. The lesson we take, is how our welness is achieved when we allign our spirit to the elements of nature. Oona is the spirit or energy that constantly follow us, humans who seek welness. And she is always willing to expand, when we make the right choices. Jack is the vegetable kingdom and Princess Lili, the human, who belongs to the animal kingdom, but the one who has tendencies to make wrong choices and to cobit what should stay untouched, internally (when we eat the other animals or their secretions). Beatiful just beautiful.
