it's not that he doesn't have one. he chose not to, as he hated being famous. His penance was to perform his own stunts, as a way to own it. by the by, he almost died in the set of the mummy

Fun Fact btw, Brendan Frasier actually loved the fact that he got to punch a charicature of himself in this movie. Most of his life's story is pretty sad about how he felt obligated to be the paragon of Action Hero, the Actor who does his own stunts, only to be receiving a lot of chronic pain as a result. During this time he was becoming very jaded with who he was so it was a cathartic moment for him.

Back in Action is a PRIME example of "we didn't know what we had" in terms of childhood movies. Like, it played on cable a lot back in the day, and I remember finding it really grating and annoying at times, but looking back I think it's genuinely excellent. It's very Roger Rabbit but with a much heavier coat of WB paint. There's great comedy here, plus Fraser in his prime is a treat.

[@zacharymccoy7091]

Brendan's journey from where he was over a decade ago to now being an Oscar winner is the best comeback of this century.

Fun fact!: Not only is Shaggy having a conversation with Matthew Lillard, but in that scene, Shaggy is also voiced by Casey Kasem. For those of you who don't know, Casey was Shaggy's original voice actor.

[@Speed_311]

What I love the most about this detail is that they could've easily casted Lillard to voice Shaggy, as he has a spot-on impression of the character. But they took the time to actually get the original voice to play the character, and that's attention to detail that I live for.

If there is anything this movie did well, it was Bugs and Daffy. Daffy seeks the top billing he feels he deserves and Bugs is the co-star who just gets him.

It isn't shown here, but I loved how Bugs used his A-List status to preserve Daffy's job, literally dumping all of his awards and his Walk of Fame star on the table. "THESE say he stays."
