I love this movie, but I never realized how many emotions it runs a viewer through in just a few minutes. More than most movies have in their entirety. Anger, lust, freedom, guilt, loyalty, vengeance, friendship, fear, pain...

Brad Dourif was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for this role. He lost to George Burns, which, if you're going to lose, you should lose to a legend.

Dourif went on to become a successful character actor, appearing in Foreman's Ragtime, David Lynch's Dune and Blue Velvet, Mississippi Burning, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, HBO's Deadwood, and he's also the voice of Chucky, the doll from all the Child's Play films.

Ohhh cool! Trying to think who he must have been in LOTR and all I can come up with based on looks (very different now obviously) is Wormtongue. Must google later... Cheers for the bio Shuac, you really know your stuff! Geek

So many incredible performances in this film. Nicholson, Fletcher, Dourif, DeVito, Lloyd, Schiavelli. Most movies I can step back from and analyze, but this one...it would be a disservice to it to do anything but experience it.
