Reply to comment by nowhereman136 in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
Hook! And long Good Friday etc but Hook has to be the biggest global hit.

Reply to comment by r3eezy in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur
This guy used his eyes and saved 900 people. If only they’d listen to him at the lifeguard academy and let lifeguards use their eyes.

Using sight instead of sound? There’s no way this isn’t standard operating procedure. How can you hear someone I’m drowning on a beach 100 yards away. Sight is the only way.

Bigger movie IMO, Roger Rabbit was a bigger role though. Both were a big part of my childhood.
