Reply to comment by mctacoflurry 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
As an aside I dont think ive ever seen any other bigger budget films or show that just completely swerved away from the tone and the story of the source material in the same extreme way. I know in stuff like The Shining and Starship Troopers the directors changed what the stories are about but kept the broad strokes of things in the books, this was more like 'Plumbers and lizards? Say no more'!

Yeah really i think it tops Maniac for me, her belting out that chorus is very powerful.

Also having union leaders introduce you is fine and all but doesnt mean anything if you cant show me what you have or are doing for workers.
