Weird Facts About Famous Movies

Not really a weird fact, but in the live action Grinch with Jim Carrey he nearly quit due to getting into the suit/make up, and started refusing to do reshoots.

In the scene below, hopefully the gif works, he wasn't supposed to do the "magic trick" pull, everything was supposed to be a very Grinchy destruction. He failed, and instead of reshooting the scene he just goes and knocks over everything himself. basically it was a blooper that made the final cut because it seemed like a very appropriate Grinch thing to do because Carrey was in a bad mood.

I always appreciate it when little things like that make the final cut, especially if it feels honest like this scene.

I feel like it doesn't count because the movie is almost as much about him.

The example with Rudy is the guy is just this wise sage who pops in and out of the story whenever the hero needs a sounding board. Red gets his own redemption arc and he's the narrator.

Late to a reply but I agree, I don't think that counts as the other. I actually think he is the main character in the movie and he was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. I don't know about the book as much.

Hard to believe that the movie is considered one of the best ever and didn't win one single Oscar.

I will never understand why it is #1 on IMDB.com. It's a good movie for sure .... but the best movie ever? Are you kidding me?
