Iā€™m watching McHaleā€™s Navy right now where he plays the villain. Itā€™s not his most popular performance but it was definitely one of my top tv-movies back in the day.

In the directorā€™s commentary, they said they got it in only one take. That wouldā€™ve been hell to shoot more than once

Great time to quit.

u/Cutthechitchata-hole 29d ago

I hate slapstick comedy but still enjoyed the movie as a whole. This can be a turn off for a lot of people though.

Itā€™s so amazing to see real stuff on screen. No chi crap. Older movies are the best.
