I met Kilmer several years back, and I’ll be honest: He was pretty chill. After filming his last scene, director John Frankenheimer is reported to have said of Kilmer “now get that bastard off my set”. His Diva behavior and on set fights with Brando are well documented. So many stories of his behavior filtered out over the years, with this film being a particular standout. This is another fantastic actor who has a reputation for being a pain. His later career was full of stories like this. A lot of his issues stemmed from the suicide of his daughter during the filming of this movie, but that’s honestly no excuse. The genius of Brando’s youth was completely gone by this point. He argued with the Directors and actors and made the experience miserable. He refused to memorize his lines, napped in his air conditioned trailer while the cast and crew waited for him in the tropical heat.
His misconduct on this movie has become legendary. He was also possibly batshit crazy or, to be kind, a giant pain in the ass. He is, deservedly, regarded as the greatest actor of his generation and one of the best of the 20th century. Brando was an amazing actor, GOD-level in his craft. Moreau, and I say “lead” in very loose terms indeed. The hybrids eventually revolt against their “father” and Douglas must escape the island. The hybrids are being controlled by implants and drugs to keep them civilized. He takes Douglas to Moreau’s island where the good doctor has been experimenting on human/animal hybrids. T he South Park parody, making of documentary, and Mini-Me are the best things to come of this movie.Ī plane crashes into the ocean and Edward Douglas is rescued by a passing boat by Dr Montgomery.
