Bill Paxton's Best Role
This movie is, without a doubt, Bill Paxton at his best. He is so great as Coconut Pete. Second to this is his performance in the Twister: Ride It Out pre-show video at Universal Orlando.
sharetwo words: true lies. thats paxtons best work. this movie sucked and bill should be embarassed to even be in the credits. i dont know what he was thinking by accepting this role.
shareIts a film you can laugh with. I found it whilst flicking channels and at first thought ... hmm lol, but after a while it developed a cult status for me and I love it. Love the laid back Pete character, the fact he's played by Bill makes him even more likable. Coconut Pete is certainly my fave Bill Paxton character.
shareActually, Paxton approached Broken Lizard about playing Coconut Pete because he loved the script and the character of Coconut Pete. According to Paxton: "I not only enjoyed this script but I loved this iconic character named Coconut Pete with his unbridled lust and his unapologetic hedonism. I also liked that when the film gets scary, it really gets scary." and "I think the film has a terrific and original sense of humor."

I would, at least, put his part in Frailty also ahead of Coconutz Pete. Along with virtually every other role he's had. This just had to be embarrasing after he saw the final product.
sharePaxton actually loves the movie. Listen, kiddo. Humor is subjective. You didn't like the comedy, that doesn't mean it's inherently unfunny.

But it does mean gkpete is inherently unfunny.
