"I'm your number one fan." Fun Fact: Director Rob Reiner cameos as a helicopter pilot. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Annie's (Kathy Bates) revolver is a Colt Cobra "D" Frame .38 revolver. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Annie's (Kathy Bates) jeep is a 1974 Jeep Cherokee S [SJ]. Paul's (James Caan) car is a 1966 Ford Mustang. Sheriff Buster's (Richard Farnsworth) car is a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer [K-5]. Lost In Adaptation Fact: While there were many minor changes from the novel, there was one major change. In the novel, Annie (Kathy Bates) cuts off Paul's (James Caan) foot to prevent him from escaping. Screenwriter William Goldman had stated that the reason he decided to adapt the book to film was because of this gruesome scene, and the effect it would have on the audience. However, Rob Reiner and Andrew Scheinman's script revision changed the method of torture to Paul getting his ankles broken with a sledgehammer. Goldman was opposed to the change until viewing the film. Typewriter Enthusiast Fact: The typewriter that Annie (Kathy Bates) buys for Paul (James Caan) to use is a Royal Model 10 typewriter. The Royal 10 was one of the first successfully mass produced typewriters which would set the technical standard for most typewriters that would follow it. Produced between 1914 and 1934, Paul's model can be pinpointed to be from 1914 to 1923 due to the double paneled beveled glass located on both sides of the machine. Models from 1924 to 1934 had only single paneled beveled glass. The 10 model would see use well after the model was discontinued as Royal Typewriters subsidiary Rigal Rebuilt would completely refurbish and rebuild the machines after they reached the intended lifespan giving the model many more years of use well into the 1950's and 60's. Due to its mass sales and twenty year production the Royal 10 remains one of the attainable typewriters that can be picked up by collectors of the machines in the 21st Century.

The sledgehammer effect never fails to make an impact when re-watching this film

My joy in watching a good scary film like Misery is not because I enjoy watching people in frightening situations, but because I enjoy how well directed like this one they can be. That's a major part of the entertainment for me. There's a scary film out there that is for some reason really popular that I find utterly sadistic towards its audience which I actually despise, but Misery engages an audience with empathy for Paul Sheldon and it really works. I mean every shot is perfect. I'd love for Teansyvanian girlfriend pick a film!

[@IrishGuyReacts]

A very intelligent and well crafted film. That isn't scary just for the sake of it.

[@CRAkins1020]

This is the only movie that I actually stayed in the movie theater when it was over to watch it again for the next showing!

[@CRAkins1020]

As a side note, Kathy Bates was on Larry King and told him that during the fight scene at the end where James Caan is banging her head into the floor shoving the burnt manuscript into her mouth, he was actually hurting her, because that section of the floor was replaced with a cushion, but her head kept hitting the edges where the real floor was...

[@CRAkins1020]

...and side note, number two. After Stephen King saw Kathy in 'Misery' he specifically wrote 'Delores Claibourne' with her in mind, and even changed a character in 'The Stand' when it was being made into a movie so Kathy could have the role.

[@IrishGuyReacts]

I don't blame you. Fantastic movie! It never gets old on a re-watch

[@IrishGuyReacts]

Thanks for the little behind the scene nuggets of information

[@lanzknecht8599]

Fun fact: the movie was shot chronologically, because director Rob Reiner wanted the tension between Kathy Bates and James Caan to build up. Obviously it worked well!

[@IrishGuyReacts]

@@lanzknecht8599 Nice idea from Mr. Reiner

[@pamforrester844]

Stephen king can do it all! I always thought the creepiest movies and books of his were the ones like this that could actually happen, yes he always finds a way to mention his town of castle rock maine. Always enjoy hearing both of your commentary, you so much compliment each other. Have a fun and safe weekend everyone

[@IrishGuyReacts]

Very true, the real human being monsters hit closer to reality.

[@larindanomikos]

Those three scripts with the conversation in apartment, graveyard and park...you should put those suckers together and not necessarily in that order. Just a thought but it sounds interesting to me.

[@IrishGuyReacts]

@@larindanomikos Thanks for the kind words. I need to get back to them.

[@rnw2739]

You introduce your girlfriend as Transylvanian and not by her name?? Why not just say she's a vampire from the off?

[@tobilinooo]

I admire her discipline. It has never happened to her that her fangs were accidentally visible for a moment.

[@IrishGuyReacts]

How right you are 🤣

[@IrishGuyReacts]

Better to build the anticipation

Thanks, Liam! Thanks, Ioana! 🔨🪵🦶 I so love this movie. 🔸 If you'd like to explore more of the 'Annie Wilkes' character, check out Season 2 of the dark-fantasy/psychological-horror/drama series CASTLE ROCK (2018 through 2019). It's an anthology, so it's not necessary to have seen the first season.

[@IrishGuyReacts]

@@auntvesuvi3872 Nice! I'll definitely check that out. Very intrigued.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

@@IrishGuyReacts It adds to the understanding of her mental state. It was surprisingly good. Lizzy Caplan brought something special to the role.
