The Exorcist III did that also. But Best Defense is the best example that comes to mind.

Murphy's part was almost unconnected with the rest of the film and his character never even came into contact with the main cast.[3][4] There had been a scene filmed during the reshoots which featured Moore and Murphy's characters meeting, but it was cut from the film."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet.

The back-to-back nuclear bombings of that and Howard the Duck effectively ended Huyck and Katz. Lucas could only back them and they could only hang on to writing American Graffiti (and rewrites on Star Wars) for so long. Like what would have happened to Zemeckis and Gale if they didn't make Back to the Future and Romancing the Stone.
The Exorcist III worked even better thanks to the reshoots.Last edited by FilmNerdJamie; 02-28-2018, 06:40 PM.Originally posted by AriComment

THERE WE GO! I couldn't think of the fucking movie. If you can find it on YouTube, the Letterman interview where Murphy tries to explain what happened with Best Defense should be taught in rhetoric and debate classes.Originally posted by FilmNerdJamie View Post

Murphy later said his salary on Best Defense was more than he was paid for both 48 Hours and Trading Places combined, and this was right before he exploded into mega-stardom with Beverly Hills Cop.Originally posted by AriComment

In that how it fell flat (and this was a fanboy/geek/nerd heavy screening) and I'm not sure Fox saw it coming.
Reynolds tried to take all the credit for Deadpool exploding and mostly succeeded. When it was, in fact, 1000000% the marketing talking and the fact Tim Miller had to fight to keep him in the role. So now he gets to take all the heat for this. Headed straight back to the direct-to-DVD bin with his shitty taste in films.Last edited by FilmNerdJamie; 03-09-2018, 10:38 AM.Originally posted by AriComment
