So much cocaine
You can feel it through the screen. The coked-up fairy actress, Murray coked-up most of the time, especially at the end. The 80s were a different time.
share"You can feel it through the screen."
And yet, nobody was.
Murray's speech at the end is a result of how the scripted speech ended with "For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be," and Murray didn't think that Frank Cross had yet earned redemption. So he discussed it with the writers and Donner and when it came time to shoot, he just kept going with what's in the final movie and they managed to get all of what he delivered in one take.
Cynicism is just as much a helluva drug as cocaine.
