Here's something I never knew:
In 1999, Torn filed a defamation lawsuit against Dennis Hopper over a story Hopper told on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[10] Hopper claimed that Torn pulled a knife on him during pre-production of the film Easy Rider. According to Hopper, Torn was originally cast in the film but was replaced with Jack Nicholson after the incident. According to Torn's suit, it was actually Hopper who pulled the knife on him. A judge ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was ordered to pay $475,000 in damages. Hopper then appealed but the judge again ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was required to pay another $475,000 in punitive damages.[11] Hopper then struck Torn three times in the head with a hammer.

Patton won Best Picture in 1970 and Best Actor went to George C. Scott (although he declined) in the same year when Maidstone was made. I think the academy made a mistake, baby.

Vicious This is "acting", technically, it's being batshit crazy.

What you took was Orange Sunshine. You need some vitamin B-12 and put on some Allman Brothers records.

Right in front of Mailer's kids. Nice stunt, asshole.

Mailer did a good job reversing that uranagi into a DDT.

FABIO2 Actually no, it's funnier imagining him as RIP TORN and not "the guy from Men in Black".
How old are you?
|
LetsFistAgain Old enough not to get pissy and act like a complete bitch when someone dares to mention somethign a bit more commercial and not adhere to my OMG PRECIOUS AND SOPHISTICATED TASTE IN MOVIES FAR BEYOND THE PREFERNECES OF MY CONFOMIST COUNTERPART! Grow up.

FABIO2 Hopefully you'll stop being such a dumb kid someday. Here's some help to get you started on that journey.
You watched a clip that everyone thought was funny because Rip Torn is taking method acting to an extreme and terrorizing a set. This is obvious to anyone who's not a dumb kid.
You, being a dumb kid, immediately blurt out the only role you know Rip Torn from, a nondescript bit part in a recent Will Smith movie. "HEY WOW WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNIER IF IT WAS MORE LIKE THAT?" This shows you're a kid who hasn't watched movies more than 10 years old, but not knowing Rip Torn's older roles is only a snowflake on the whole dumb kid iceberg since the character of Zed has fuck all to with anything here.
Quit being such a dumb kid.

I think the wailing of the children is what makes this video a classic. Without that, it's just two out of shape actors trying to kill each other.
|
Rudy I meant celebrities, not actors.

Well, at least someone got to hit Mailer with a hammer. To bad he didn't hit him harder.

Rip Torn is kickass!
Did he ever work with Klaus Kinski?
|
Smellvin
-1 because the guy on top have innumerable opportunities for an arm bar, but he just sat there cuddling.

Hey, he doesn't deserve that! The Naked and the Dead was a good book, right?
Right?

Herr Matthias
That fact that this MADE IT INTO THE FUCKING MOVIE is what makes it a classic.

Screw you, hopper!

Someone give me the backstory on this.

Syd Midnight
If Wikipedia isn't wrong, "While filming Maidstone, Torn, apparently unhappy with the film, struck director and star of the film Norman Mailer three times in the head with a hammer. With the camera rolling, Mailer bit Torn's ear and they wrestled to the ground. The fight continued until it was broken up by cast and crew members as Mailer's children screamed in the background. The fight is featured in the film. Although the scene may have been planned by Torn, the bloodshed by both actors is real and Torn was reportedly truly outraged by Mailer's direction."

Dummy Rum Thanks, but the context didn't make it any more interesting.
