Cutthroat
2:52
Island.
2:53
This
2:53
is
2:53
the
2:53
podcast
2:54
that's
2:54
all
2:54
about
2:54
the
2:54
history
2:54
and
2:55
legacy
2:55
of

Hosted
2:58
by
2:58
the
2:58
host
2:58
the
2:59
Wishes
2:59
She'd
2:59
Never
3:00
Learned
3:00
Latin.
3:01
Because
3:02
I
3:02
did
3:02
learn
3:02
Latin
3:03
for
3:03
a
3:03
year
3:03
at
3:03
high
3:03
school.
3:04
It
3:04
was
3:04
mandatory.
3:05
And
3:05
for
3:05
that
3:06
one
3:06
year
3:06
of
3:06
Latin,
3:07
I
3:08
got
3:08
my
3:08
first
3:09
and
3:09
only
3:10
commendation
3:11
from
3:11
high
3:12
school.
3:12
But
3:13
no,
3:13
I
3:13
won't
3:13
be
3:14
translating
3:14
your
3:14
treasure
3:14
map
3:15
because
3:15
the
3:15
text
3:15
is
3:15
actually
3:16
mirrored,
3:16
not
3:17
in
3:17
Latin.
3:18
Welcome
3:18

3:31
everyone
3:31
who
3:31
listens
3:32

3:32
who
3:33
supports
3:33
this
3:33
podcast
3:34
and
3:34
has
3:34
done
3:35
for
3:35
the
3:35
last,
3:35
oh,
3:36
six
3:36
years,
3:37
nothing

minor.
3:40
Thank

you

for
3:41
your
3:41
support.
3:41
It
3:42
genuinely
3:42
means
3:43
so
3:43
much
3:43
to
3:43
me
3:43
and
3:44
you
3:44
guys
3:45
who
3:45
are
3:45
listening
3:45
to
3:45
this
3:46
episode
3:46
and
3:47
other
3:47
episodes
3:48
are
3:48
the
3:49
reason
3:49
why
3:49
I
3:49
continue
3:49
to
3:50
do
3:50
this
3:50
podcast.
3:51
So
3:51
I'm
3:52
so
3:53
happy
3:53
to
3:53
be
3:53
here.
3:53
I'm
3:53
so
3:53
excited
3:54
to
3:54
be
3:54
here,
3:55
mostly
3:55
because
3:56
Cutthroat
3:57
island
3:57
has
3:57
been
3:57
a
3:57
long
3:57
time
3:58
coming
3:58
to
3:58
this
3:58
podcasta,andndI'veheld
4:00
off
4:00
on
4:01
purpose,
4:01
but
4:02
then
4:02
I
4:02
just
4:02
felt
4:02
like
4:02
I
4:03
couldn't
4:03
really
4:03
hold
4:03
off
4:04
anymore,
4:05
and
4:05
it's
4:05
like,
4:06
you
4:06
might
4:06
as
4:06
well
4:06
just
4:07
do
4:07
these
4:07
things.
4:08
So
4:08
I
4:08
figured,
4:09
why
4:09
not
4:10
baby
4:11
Kaijune?
4:12
There's
4:12
obviously
4:12
a
4:12
little
4:13
thing
4:13
that
4:13
I
4:13
did
4:13
last
4:13
month
4:14
that
4:14
was
4:14
really
4:14
cute,
4:15
right?
4:16
Just
4:16
a
4:16
couple
4:16
of
4:17
giant
4:17
monster
4:17
creatures
4:17
with
4:18
big
4:18
teeth
4:18
out
4:18
to
4:19
kill
4:19
people
4:19
for
4:20
lolz.
4:21
I
4:21
am
4:22
planning
4:22
for
4:22
Kaijune
4:23
to
4:23
retureturn,rnand
4:24
alsoplanning
4:24
forit
4:25
to
4:25
bealotbigger
4:26
than
4:26
it
4:26
was
4:27
this
4:28
June.
4:29
So
4:30
let
4:30
me
4:30
know
4:31
what
4:31
you'd
4:31
like
4:31
to
4:31
see
4:32
included
4:33
next
4:33
time
4:33
around.
4:34
Obviously,
4:35
we're
4:35
talking
4:36
June
4:37
2026
4:38
for
4:38
this,
4:39
but
4:39
I
4:39
will
4:40
say
4:40
that
4:40
chances
4:40
of
4:40
an
4:41
Anaconda
4:41
or
4:41
Lake
4:42
Placid
4:42
sequel
4:43
are
4:43
slim
4:43
to
4:44
none.
4:44
I'll
4:44
be
4:45
honest.
4:46
But
4:46
we
4:46
are
4:47
staying
4:47
on
4:47
the
4:47
water
4:48
because
4:48
who
4:49
doesn't
4:49
love
4:49
to
4:50
film
4:50
stuff
4:50
in,
4:51
on
4:51
and
4:51
around
4:52
water?
4:52
Because
4:52
it's
4:53
so
4:53
easy.
4:54
Why
4:55
don't
4:55
more
4:55
movies
4:56
do
4:56
it?
4:57
In
4:57
fact,
4:57
pirate
4:58
movies.
4:58
Why
4:58
doesn't
4:59
Hollywood
4:59
make
4:59
more
5:00
pirate
5:00
movies?
5:01
Everyone
5:01
knows
5:02
pirates,
5:03
and
5:03
Disney
5:03
certainly
5:04
wasn't
5:04
the
5:04
first
5:05
to
5:05
take
5:05
a
5:05
punt
5:05
on
5:06
a
5:06
pirate
5:06
movie.
5:07
But
5:07
while
5:07
they
5:08
were
5:08
hugely
5:08
popular
5:09
in
5:09
the
5:09
30s
5:09
and
5:10
40s,
5:11
the
5:11
80s
5:11
was
5:12
a
5:12
rough
5:12
time
5:12
at
5:12
sea
5:13
for
5:13
the
5:13
cinematic
5:14
pirate
5:14
and
5:15
the
5:15
90s.
5:16
Well,
5:17
we've
5:17
all
5:18
heard
5:18
the
5:18
tales
5:19
of
5:19
Cutthroat
5:20
island,
5:21
but
5:21
did
5:21
it
5:22
really
5:22
sink
5:22
a
5:22
studio?
5:23
And
5:24
did
5:24
it
5:24
really
5:24
take
5:25
a
5:25
barrel
5:25
of
5:25
gunpowder
5:26
to
5:26
the
5:26
careers
5:26
of
5:26
Rennie
5:27
Harlin
5:27
and
5:27
Geena
5:28
Davis?
5:29
Or
5:29
is
5:29
the
5:29
humble
5:30
pirate
5:30
movie
5:31
just
5:31
a
5:31
poison
5:31
chalice?
5:33
And
5:33
what
5:33
did
5:33
Spider-Man
5:34
have
5:35
to
5:35
do
5:35
with
5:35
the
5:35
making
5:36
of
5:36
Cutthroat
5:37
Island?
5:38
I
5:38
guess
5:38
we
5:38
need
5:38
to
5:39
jump
5:39
on
5:39
board
5:39
and
5:39
find
5:40
out.
5:40
So
5:40
here's
5:40
the
5:40
trailer
5:41
for
5:41
Cutthroat
5:42
Island.
7:25
Morgan
7:25
Adams
7:26
is
7:26
a
7:26
pirate
7:26
captain
7:27
who
7:27
inherits
7:28
part
7:28
of
7:28
a
7:28
treasure
7:29
map
7:29
from
7:29
her
7:29
dying
7:29
father
7:31
from
7:31
his
7:31
skull.
7:32
To
7:32
find
7:32
the
7:33
legendary
7:33
treasure,
7:33
she
7:34
must
7:34
obtain
7:34
the
7:34
remaining
7:35
pieces
7:35
of
7:35
the
7:35
map
7:36
from
7:36
her
7:36
treacherous
7:37
uncles,
7:37
Mordecai
7:38
Fingers
7:39
and
7:39
Douglas
7:39
Dawg
7:40
Brown,
7:40
who
7:41
want
7:41
to
7:41
kill
7:41
her
7:41
and
7:42
claim
7:42
the
7:42
treasure
7:42
for
7:42
themselves.
7:44
Morgan
7:44
teams
7:44
up
7:45
with
7:45
a
7:45
roguish
7:45
conman
7:46
and
7:46
alleged
7:46
doctor,
7:47
William
7:47
Shaw,
7:48
though
7:48
his
7:49
loyalty
7:49
remains
7:50
questionable.
7:50
Throughout
7:51
their
7:51
adventure,
7:52
they
7:53
race
7:53
across
7:53
the
7:53
Caribbean
7:54
against
7:54
Dawg
7:55
to
7:55
find
7:55
the
7:55
elusive
7:56
Cutthroat
7:56
island
7:57
first
7:57
and
7:58
claim
7:58
the
7:58
booty.
7:59
And
7:59
let's
8:00
be
8:00
honest,
8:00
everyone
8:00
just
8:01
wants
8:01
to
8:01
hear
8:01
an
8:01
English
8:02
person
8:02
saying
8:02
the
8:02
word
8:03
booty.
8:04
Let's
8:04
run
8:04
through
8:05
the
8:05
cast
8:05
of
8:05
this
8:05
movie.

Avast.

Dead

There'll

8:45
Hiya

8:47
send
8:47
you
8:47
to
8:47
Davy
8:48
Jones
8:48
Locker.
8:49
We've
8:49
got
8:50
us
8:50
some
8:50
legendary
8:51
booty
8:51
here,
8:52
savvy?
8:52
It
8:53
may
8:53
not
8:53
glimmer
8:53
like
8:54
regular
8:54
treasure,
8:55
but
8:55
treasure
8:55
it
8:55
is
8:56
all
8:56
the
8:56
same.
8:57
Gar.
8:59
Cutthroat
8:59
island
9:00
is
9:00
infamous
9:00
for
9:01
many
9:01
reasons.
9:02
Infamous
9:02
for
9:02
sinking
9:03
a
9:03
studio.
9:04
Infamous
9:04
for
9:04
being
9:05
a
9:05
Guinness
9:05
Book
9:06
of
9:06
World
9:06
Records
9:07
record
9:07
holding
9:07
box
9:08
office
9:08
flop.
9:09
Only
9:09
one
9:10
of
9:10
those
9:10
is
9:10
true
9:10
though,
9:11
and
9:11
as
9:11
is
9:12
customary
9:12
for
9:12
this
9:12
podcast,
9:13
I
9:13
feel
9:13
like
9:14
Cutthroat
9:14
island
9:15
has
9:15
for
9:15
too
9:15
long
9:16
had
9:16
a
9:17
reputation
9:17
that
9:17
this
9:18
was
9:18
a
9:18
huge
9:18
90s
9:19
shipwreck
9:20
and
9:20
that
9:20
bringing
9:21
a
9:21
woman
9:21
aboard
9:21
a
9:21
ship
9:22
is
9:22
bad
9:22
luck.
9:23
Well,
9:23
maybe
9:23
it
9:24
was
9:24
bad
9:24
luck,
9:25
but
9:25
as
9:25
the
9:25
captain
9:25
of
9:26
this
9:26
ship
9:26
add
9:27
the
9:27
token
9:27
woman,
9:28
I'm
9:28
here
9:29
to
9:29
fly
9:29
the
9:29
flag
9:29
for
9:30
a
9:30
90s
9:30
pirate
9:31
movie
9:31
that
9:31
always
9:32
seems
9:32
to
9:32
end
9:32
up
9:32
on
9:33
people's
9:33
lists
9:33
of
9:33
movies
9:34
to
9:34
ridicule
9:35
for
9:35
no
9:35
good
9:35
reason.
9:36
There's
9:37
a
9:37
lot
9:37
that
9:37
went
9:37
wrong
9:38
for
9:38
Cutthroat
9:38
island,
9:39
much
9:39
of
9:39
it
9:40
not
9:40
the
9:40
movie's
9:41
fault.
9:41
The
9:42
blame
9:42
includes
9:42
other
9:43
parties
9:43
like
9:43
Arnold
9:44
Schwarzenegger
9:45
and
9:45
Spider-Man.
9:46
But
9:46
there's
9:46
also
9:46
a
9:46
lot
9:47
that
9:47
went
9:47
right
9:48
and
9:48
this
9:48
year
9:49
is
9:49
Cutthroat
9:50
Island's
9:51
30th
9:51
anniversary.
9:52
But
9:53
to
9:53
start
9:53
our
9:53
story,
9:53
we
9:54
need
9:54
to
9:54
go
9:54
back
9:54
to
9:54
the
9:54
golden
9:55
age
9:55
of
9:55
pirates
9:55
on
9:55
screen,
9:56
which
9:56
began
9:56
in
9:57
the
9:57
1930s
9:58
and
9:58
peaked
9:58
in
9:59
the
9:59
1940s.
10:00
Errol
10:00
Flynn
10:01
essentially
10:02
defined
10:02
the
10:02
swashbuckling
10:03
genre
10:03
with
10:04
1935's
10:05
Captain
10:05
Blood
10:06
and
10:06
1940s
10:07
the
10:07
Seahawk.
10:08
Both
10:09
were
10:09
major
10:09
box
10:10
office
10:10
successes.
10:11
These
10:12
films
10:12
established
10:12
the
10:13
template
10:13
for
10:13
romantic,
10:14
adventurous
10:15
pirate
10:15
stories
10:16
that
10:16
audiences
10:17
embraced.
10:18
Flynn
10:18
possessed
10:19
the
10:19
perfect
10:19
combination
10:20
of
10:20
athletic
10:21
grace,
10:21
roguish
10:22
charm
10:22
and
10:23
romantic
10:23
appeal.
10:24
He
10:24
could
10:24
handle
10:25
sword
10:25
fights
10:25
with
10:26
balletic
10:26
elegance
10:27
while
10:27
maintaining
10:28
an
10:28
air
10:28
of
10:28
dangerous
10:29
sexuality
10:30
that
10:30
appealed
10:31
to
10:31
both
10:31
male
10:31
and
10:32
female
10:32
audiences.
10:33
Flynn's
10:34
on
10:34
screen
10:35
partnership
10:35
with
10:35
Olivia
10:36
de
10:36
Havilland
10:37
created
10:37
some
10:37
of
10:37
cinema's
10:38
most
10:38
memorable
10:39
romantic
10:39
chemistry.
10:41
And
10:41
these
10:41
pirate
10:42
films
10:42
were
10:42
among
10:43
the
10:43
most
10:43
technically
10:43
ambitious
10:44
of
10:44
their
10:45
time.
10:45
Warner
10:46
Brothers
10:46
and
10:46
other
10:47
studios
10:47
invested
10:48
heavily
10:48
in
10:48
elaborate
10:49
ship
10:49
sets,
10:50
spectacular
10:50
sea
10:51
battles
10:51
and
10:51
innovative
10:52
camera
10:52
work.
10:53
The
10:53
Sea
10:54
Hawk
10:54
featured
10:54
some
10:55
of
10:55
the
10:55
most
10:55
impressive
10:55
naval
10:56
combat
10:56
sequences
10:57
ever
10:57
filmed,
10:58
using
10:58
miniatures,
10:59
full
11:00
scale
11:00
ship
11:00
replicas
11:01
and
11:01
clever
11:02
editing
11:02
to
11:02
create
11:03
breathtaking
11:03
action.
11:05
Studios
11:05
spared
11:06
no
11:06
expense
11:07
on
11:07
these
11:07
productions.
11:08
They
11:08
had
11:08
elaborate
11:09
costumes,
11:09
detailed
11:10
period
11:10
sets
11:11
and
11:11
careful
11:12
attention
11:12
to
11:13
nautical
11:13
detail
11:14
to
11:14
give
11:14
these
11:15
films
11:15
credibility.
11:17
The
11:17
pirate
11:18
genre
11:18
began
11:18
losing
11:19
steam
11:19
in
11:19
the
11:19
50s
11:20
as
11:20
audience
11:21
tastes
11:21
shifted.
11:22
However,
11:22
there
11:23
were
11:23
still
11:23
occasional
11:24
successes,
11:24
such
11:25
as
11:25
the
11:25
crimson
11:25
pirate
11:26
in
11:26
1952
11:27
with
11:27
Burt
11:28
Lancaster.
11:29
The
11:29
genre
11:29
was
11:29
considered
11:30
outdated
11:30
and
11:31
campy.
11:31
By
11:31
the
11:32
late
11:32
1970s,
11:34
swashbuckling
11:34
adventure
11:35
seemed
11:35
quaint
11:36
compared
11:36
to
11:37
the
11:37
grittier,
11:38
more
11:38
realistic
11:39
action
11:39
films
11:39
that
11:39
were
11:39
becoming
11:40
popular,
11:41
like
11:41
Dirty
11:41
Harry,
11:42
the
11:42
French
11:42
Connection
11:43
and
11:44
later
11:44
in
11:44
the
11:44
80s,
11:44
Die
11:45
Hard,
11:45
which
11:46
all
11:46
represented
11:47
a
11:47
new
11:47
kind
11:47
of
11:47
action
11:48
hero,
11:49
more
11:49
contemporary,
11:50
more
11:50
thoughtful
11:51
and
11:51
psychologically
11:52
complex
11:53
than
11:53
the
11:53
romantic
11:54
rogues
11:55
of
11:55
the
11:55
Golden
11:55
Age.
11:56
The
11:56
success
11:57
of
11:57
science
11:57
fiction
11:58
following
11:58
Star
11:59
wars
11:59
and
11:59
the
11:59
rise
12:00
of
12:00
contemporary
12:00
action
12:01
films
12:02
meant
12:02
studios
12:02
were
12:02
investing
12:03
their
12:03
big
12:03
budget
12:04
elsewhere.
12:05
Why
12:05
would
12:06
you
12:06
make
12:06
a
12:06
period
12:06
pirate
12:07
film
12:08
when
12:08
you
12:08
could
12:08
make
12:08
a
12:09
modern
12:09
thriller
12:09
or
12:10
a
12:10
space
12:10
opera?
12:12
By
12:12
the
12:12
time
12:12
the
12:12
80s
12:13
rolled
12:13
around,
12:13
the
12:13
success
12:14
of
12:14
adventure
12:14
films
12:15
like
12:15
the
12:15
Indiana
12:16
Jones
12:16
series
12:17
suggested
12:17
that
12:17
audiences
12:18
still
12:18
enjoyed
12:19
old
12:19
fashioned
12:19
pulpy
12:20
adventure.
12:21
But
12:21
while
12:21
studios
12:22
were
12:22
still
12:22
attempting
12:23
pirate
12:23
movies,
12:24
they
12:24
still
12:25
struggled
12:25
at
12:25
the
12:25
box
12:26
office.
12:27
The
12:27
pirate
12:27
movie
12:28
in
12:28
1982
12:29
was
12:29
perhaps
12:29
the
12:30
most
12:30
notable
12:30
attempt.
12:31
It
12:31
was
12:32
a
12:32
musical
12:32
comedy
12:32
starring
12:33
Christopher
12:33
Atkins
12:34
and
12:34
Christy
12:34
McNichol
12:35
that
12:35
was
12:36
both
12:36
a
12:36
critical
12:37
and
12:37
commercial
12:38
disaster.
12:39
This
12:39
was
12:39
followed
12:39
by
12:40
attempts
12:40
like
12:40
the
12:40
ice
12:41
Pirates
12:41
in
12:41
1984
12:42
and
12:43
Roman
12:43
Polanski's
12:44
Pirates
12:44
in
12:45
1986,
12:46
both
12:46
of
12:46
which
12:47
were
12:47
also
12:47
financial
12:47
disappointments,
12:49
with
12:49
only
12:49
the
12:49
Goonies
12:50
and
12:50
the
12:50
Princess
12:51
Bride
12:51
containing
12:52
pirate
12:52
themes
12:53
and
12:53
swashbuckling
12:54
elements
12:55
being
12:55
both
12:55
critically
12:56
acclaimed
12:56
and
12:56
commercially
12:57
successful.
12:58
There
12:58
hadn't
12:59
been
12:59
a
12:59
major
13:00
pirate
13:00
film
13:00
in
13:01
decades,
13:01
but
13:02
one
13:02
studio
13:03
may
13:03
have
13:04
seen
13:04
it
13:04
as
13:04
more
13:04
of
13:04
an
13:04
untapped
13:05
market
13:06
than
13:06
a
13:06
dead
13:07
genre.
13:08
That
13:08
studio
13:09
was
13:10
Carolco.
13:11
But
13:11
before
13:12
we
13:12
get
13:12
into
13:12
the
13:12
story
13:12
of
13:13
Carolco,
13:14
which
13:14
I
13:14
know
13:15
for
13:15
a
13:15
fact,
13:15
I
13:16
have
13:16
pronounced
13:16
over
13:16
the
13:16
years
13:17
as
13:17
Carolco
13:18
as
13:18
well
13:18
as
13:18
Korolko,
13:19
but
13:20
you
13:20
know
13:20
me
13:20
and
13:20
my
13:20
pronunciations,
13:21
I
13:21
do
13:21
try
13:21
my
13:22
best.
13:23
Before
13:23
we
13:23
go
13:23
into
13:24
that,
13:24
we
13:24
have
13:24
to
13:24
Start
13:24
with
13:24
the
13:25
original
13:25
script
13:25
from
13:26
the
13:26
writing
13:26
team
13:26
of
13:26
James
13:27
Gorman
13:27
and
13:27
Michael
13:28
Frost
13:28
Beckner.
13:29
They
13:29
had
13:29
a
13:29
development
13:30
deal
13:30
with
13:30
Disney
13:30
and
13:31
they
13:31
pitched
13:31
to
13:31
Disney
13:32
a
13:32
darkly
13:33
comic
13:33
pirate
13:34
strip
13:34
as
13:34
a
13:35
potential
13:35
Pirates
13:35
of
13:36
the
13:36
Caribbean
13:36
movie
13:36
in
13:36
the
13:37
early
13:37
90s.
13:38
Michael
13:38
Eisner
13:39
turned
13:39
this
13:39
idea
13:40
down.
13:41
It
13:41
was
13:41
then
13:41
pitched
13:42
to
13:42
Carolco,
13:43
who
13:43
bought
13:43
it
13:43
for
13:44
$1.7
13:45
million.
13:46
Carolco
13:47
was
13:47
founded
13:47
in
13:48
1976
13:49
by
13:49
Mario
13:49
Kassar
13:50
and
13:50
Andrew
13:51
G.
13:51
Vajna,
13:52
two
13:52
entrepreneurs
13:53
who
13:53
initially
13:53
focused
13:54
on
13:54
foreign
13:54
sales
13:55
and
13:55
distribution.
13:56
Their
13:56
breakthrough
13:57
came
13:57
with
13:57
understanding
13:58
how
13:58
to
13:58
leverage
13:58
foreign
13:59
pre
13:59
sales
14:00
to
14:00
finance
14:00
big
14:00
budget
14:01
productions.
14:02
This
14:02
was
14:02
a
14:02
relatively
14:03
new
14:03
model
14:03
at
14:03
the
14:03
time
14:04
that
14:04
allowed
14:04
them
14:04
to
14:04
compete
14:05
with
14:05
major
14:05
studios
14:06
without
14:06
the
14:07
major
14:07
studio
14:08
resources.
14:09
Their
14:09
first
14:10
major
14:10
success
14:11
was
14:11
First
14:11
Blood
14:12
in
14:12
1982,
14:13
which
14:13
they
14:13
acquired
14:14
and
14:14
helped
14:14
turn
14:15
into
14:15
a
14:15
surprise
14:16
hit.
14:17
This
14:17
led
14:17
to
14:18
First
14:18
Blood
14:19
Part
14:19
2
14:19
in
14:19
1985,
14:20
which
14:21
became
14:21
a
14:21
massive
14:22
global
14:22
phenomenon,
14:22
earning
14:23
over
14:23
$300
14:24
million
14:25
worldwide.
14:26
The
14:26
success
14:26
of
14:26
the
14:27
Rambo
14:27
franchise
14:28
established
14:28
Korolco
14:29
as
14:29
a
14:29
major
14:29
player
14:30
and
14:30
proved
14:31
their
14:31
model
14:31
could
14:32
work
14:32
on
14:32
a
14:32
large
14:33
scale.
14:34
The
14:34
golden
14:35
age
14:35
of
14:35
Carolco
14:36
peaked
14:36
in
14:36
the
14:36
early
14:36
90s,
14:37
which
14:37
saw
14:38
them
14:38
producing
14:38
some
14:38
of
14:38
the
14:39
decade's
14:39
biggest
14:39
action
14:40
hits
14:41
like
14:41
total
14:41
recall
14:42
in
14:42
1990
14:43
with
14:43
Arnold
14:44
Schwarzenegger,
14:44
which
14:44
was
14:45
both
14:45
a
14:45
critical
14:45
and
14:46
commercial
14:46
success.
14:47
And
14:47
then
14:48
the
14:48
behemoth
14:49
that
14:49
was
14:50
Terminator
14:51
2
14:51
Judgment
14:51
Day,
14:52
which
14:52
became
14:53
their
14:53
crowning
14:53
achievement.
14:54
The
14:55
most
14:55
expensive
14:55
film
14:56
ever
14:56
made
14:56
at
14:56
the
14:56
time,
14:57
but
14:57
also
14:57
one
14:58
of
14:58
the
14:58
most
14:58
successful.
14:59
Grossing
14:59
over
15:00
$500
15:00
million
15:01
worldwide
15:02
and
15:02
setting
15:03
new
15:03
standards
15:04
for
15:04
visual
15:04
effects.
15:05
Carolco
15:06
would
15:06
sell
15:07
distribution
15:07
rights
15:08
to
15:08
foreign
15:08
territories
15:09
before
15:10
production
15:10
began,
15:11
using
15:11
that
15:11
money
15:12
to
15:12
finance
15:12
films.
15:13
This
15:13
allowed
15:14
them
15:14
to
15:14
make
15:14
big
15:15
budget
15:15
movies
15:15
independently,
15:16
but
15:16
it
15:17
also
15:17
meant
15:17
they
15:17
were
15:18
constantly
15:18
levering
15:19
future
15:19
revenues
15:20
against
15:21
current
15:21
productions.
15:22
The
15:22
model
15:23
worked
15:23
brilliantly
15:23
when
15:24
films
15:24
were
15:24
hits
15:25
like
15:25
Total
15:25
Recall,
15:26
Basic
15:26
Instinct
15:27
and
15:27
Terminator
15:27
2.
15:28
But
15:28
it
15:29
created
15:29
enormous
15:30
financial
15:30
pressure
15:31
when
15:31
they
15:31
weren't
15:32
movies
15:32
like
15:33
Johnny
15:33
Hansen,
15:34
Music
15:34
Box,
15:35
Air
15:35
America
15:35
and
15:36
Mountains
15:36
of
15:36
the
15:36
Moon,
15:37
which
15:37
were
15:38
all
15:38
financial
15:38
disappointments.
15:40
Unlike
15:40
major
15:41
studios
15:41
with
15:41
diverse
15:42
revenue
15:42
streams
15:43
and
15:43
large
15:43
libraries
15:44
of
15:44
content,
15:45
Carolco
15:45
was
15:46
essentially
15:46
betting
15:47
everything
15:47
on
15:47
each
15:47
individual
15:48
film.
15:49
And
15:49
this
15:49
was
15:49
starting
15:50
to
15:50
become
15:50
a
15:50
huge
15:50
issue.
15:51
When
15:52
films
15:52
failed
15:53
to
15:53
meet
15:53
projections,
15:54
there
15:54
was
15:55
no
15:55
corporate
15:55
cushion
15:56
to
15:56
absorb
15:56
the
15:57
losses.
15:58
Plus
15:58
they'd
15:59
set
15:59
a
15:59
dangerous
16:00
precedent
16:00
for
16:00
themselves
16:01
with
16:01
huge
16:02
bankable
16:02
stars
16:03
like
16:03
Arnold
16:04
Schwarzenegger
16:04
and
16:04
Sylvester
16:05
Stallone.
16:06
By
16:06
the
16:06
early
16:07
90s,
16:07
staff
16:07
salaries
16:08
and
16:08
production
16:09
costs
16:09
were
16:09
spiraling
16:10
upward.
16:11
And
16:11
to
16:11
secure
16:12
top
16:12
talent,
16:12
they
16:12
had
16:13
to
16:13
pay
16:13
larger
16:14
salaries.
16:15
Arnold
16:15
Schwarzenegger
16:16
reportedly
16:16
received
16:17
$15
16:17
million
16:18
for
16:18
total
16:18
recall.
16:19
And
16:20
because
16:20
of
16:20
this
16:20
huge
16:21
increase
16:21
in
16:22
salary,
16:22
other
16:23
studios
16:24
started
16:24
to
16:24
follow
16:24
suit
16:25
and
16:25
pay
16:25
bigger
16:26
salaries,
16:26
which
16:27
then
16:27
meant
16:27
that
16:27
smaller
16:28
studios
16:28
were
16:28
being
16:29
priced
16:29
out
16:29
of
16:30
the
16:30
big
16:30
bankable
16:31
stars.
16:32
To
16:32
mitigate
16:32
their
16:33
losses,
16:33
Carolco
16:34
began
16:34
taking
16:34
on
16:35
too
16:35
many
16:35
expensive
16:36
projects
16:37
simultaneously.
16:38
They
16:38
were
16:39
financing
16:39
multiple
16:40
50
16:40
plus
16:41
million
16:41
dollar
16:42
films
16:42
at
16:42
once,
16:43
spreading
16:43
their
16:43
resources
16:44
dangerously
16:45
thin
16:45
and
16:46
debts
16:46
were
16:46
piling
16:47
up.
16:48
Carolco's
16:49
plans
16:49
for
16:49
a
16:49
Spider
16:49
man
16:50
movie
16:50
also
16:51
came
16:51
crashing
16:51
down
16:52
in
16:52
1993.
16:53
Listen
16:53
to
16:53
my
16:54
episode
16:54
on
16:54
Spider
16:54
man
16:55
for
16:55
more
16:55
on
16:55
that.
16:55
But
16:56
essentially
16:56
in
16:56
April
16:57
1992,
16:57
Korolco
16:58
stopped
16:58
an
16:59
active
16:59
production
16:59
on
17:00
Spider
17:00
man,
17:01
citing
17:01
continued
17:01
financial
17:02
and
17:02
legal
17:02
issues.
17:03
Producer
17:04
Menahem
17:04
Golan
17:05
then
17:05
sued
17:05
Korolko
17:06
to
17:06
revoke
17:06
his
17:07
contract
17:07
with
17:07
them.
17:08
Since
17:08
then,
17:09
director
17:09
James
17:10
Cameron
17:10
had
17:10
Golan's
17:11
executive
17:11
producer
17:12
name
17:12
omitted
17:13
from
17:13
the
17:13
film
17:13
credits.
17:14
It
17:14
was
17:14
more
17:15
lawsuits
17:15
than
17:15
Kuroco
17:16
needed
17:16
and
17:17
despite
17:17
them
17:18
filing
17:18
suit
17:18
against
17:19
Columbia
17:19
Pictures
17:20
and
17:20
Viacom
17:20
in
17:21
an
17:21
effort
17:21
to
17:21
gain
17:22
the
17:22
home
17:22
video
17:22
and
17:22
TV
17:23
rights
17:23
to
17:23
Spider
17:23
man,
17:24
they
17:24
would
17:25
then
17:25
counter
17:25
sue
17:25
Carolco
17:26
and
17:27
long
17:27
story
17:27
short,
17:27
the
17:28
courts
17:28
did
17:28
not
17:28
rule
17:29
in
17:29
Krolko's
17:29
favor.
17:30
The
17:30
Spider
17:31
man
17:31
film
17:31
rights
17:31
reverted
17:32
to
17:32
Marvel
17:33
and
17:33
they
17:33
were
17:33
eventually
17:34
sold
17:34
to
17:34
Columbia.
17:35
And
17:35
then
17:36
we
17:36
got
17:36
Sam
17:36
Raimi's
17:37
Spider
17:37
man
17:37
movies.
17:38
By
17:39
the
17:39
time
17:39
1994
17:40
came
17:40
around,
17:41
Carolco
17:41
needed
17:42
a
17:42
big
17:42
hit
17:43
and
17:43
they
17:43
had
17:43
a
17:43
choice
17:44
between
17:44
two
17:44
potential
17:45
saviors.
17:46
An
17:46
Arnold
17:46
Schwarzenegger
17:47
starring
17:48
Paul
17:48
Verhoeven
17:49
directed
17:49
historical
17:50
epic
17:50
called
17:51
Crusade
17:52
and
17:52
a
17:52
pirate
17:52
movie.
17:53
There
17:54
was
17:54
no
17:54
way
17:54
they
17:54
could
17:55
afford
17:55
to
17:55
have
17:55
both
17:55
movies
17:56
in
17:56
production
17:56
at
17:56
the
17:57
same
17:57
time.
17:58
Crusade
17:58
was
17:59
given
17:59
the
17:59
green
17:59
light
18:00
in
18:00
1993
18:01
and
18:01
pre
18:01
production
18:02
had
18:02
already
18:02
begun
18:03
on
18:03
the
18:03
R
18:03
rated
18:04
action
18:04
epic.
18:05
Both
18:05
ideas
18:06
were
18:06
expensive,
18:07
but
18:07
Crusade
18:08
was
18:08
budgeted
18:09
higher
18:09
before
18:10
shooting
18:10
started.
18:11
The
18:11
plug
18:11
was
18:11
pulled
18:12
on
18:12
Crusade
18:13
with
18:13
Schwarzenegger
18:14
receiving
18:14
a
18:14
payoff
18:15
and
18:15
they
18:15
decided
18:16
to
18:16
go
18:16
with
18:16
the
18:16
then
18:17
cheaper
18:17
pirate
18:18
adventure
18:19
which
18:19
Mario
18:19
Casar
18:20
had
18:20
optioned
18:20
back
18:20
in
18:20
1990.
18:22
Just
18:22
FYI,
18:23
this
18:23
movie
18:24
would
18:24
not
18:24
remain
18:24
the
18:25
cheaper
18:25
option
18:25
for
18:25
long.
18:27
This
18:27
movie
18:28
is
18:28
set
18:28
in
18:28
1668
18:29
during
18:30
the
18:30
golden
18:30
age
18:30
of
18:31
piracy,
18:31
specifically
18:32
the
18:32
Buccaneer
18:33
Age
18:33
which
18:33
focused
18:34
primarily
18:34
on
18:35
the
18:35
Caribbean.
18:36
After
18:36
the
18:36
1655
18:37
capture
18:37
of
18:38
Jamaica
18:38
by
18:38
England
18:39
from
18:39
Spain,
18:40
the
18:40
early
18:40
English
18:41
governors
18:41
of
18:41
Jamaica
18:42
freely
18:42
granted
18:43
letters
18:43
of
18:43
marque
18:44
to
18:44
Tortuga
18:44
buccaneers
18:45
and
18:45
to
18:45
their
18:45
own
18:46
countrymen.
18:47
While
18:47
the
18:47
growth
18:47
of
18:47
Port
18:48
Royal
18:48
provided
18:49
these
18:49
raiders
18:49
with
18:49
a
18:50
far
18:50
more
18:50
profitable
18:51
and
18:51
enjoyable
18:52
place
18:52
to
18:52
sell
18:52
their
18:53
booty.
18:53
These
18:54
buccaneers
18:54
called
18:55
themselves
18:55
privateers.
18:56
However,
18:57
many
18:57
had
18:57
no
18:58
concern
18:58
for
18:58
legality
18:59
and
18:59
took
18:59
the
18:59
opportunity
19:00
to
19:00
pillage
19:01
whether
19:01
they
19:01
had
19:02
a
19:02
letter
19:02
of
19:02
mark
19:03
or
19:03
not.
19:04
Letters
19:04
of
19:04
mark
19:05
were
19:05
also
19:05
often
19:06
forged.
19:08
Female
19:08
pirates,
19:09
while
19:09
uncommon,
19:10
did
19:11
exist
19:11
in
19:11
the
19:11
17th
19:12
and
19:12
18th
19:12
centuries.
19:13
Though
19:13
they
19:14
faced
19:14
significant
19:15
legal
19:15
and
19:15
social
19:16
barriers,
19:17
most
19:17
had
19:17
to
19:17
disguise
19:18
themselves
19:18
as
19:19
men
19:19
to
19:19
join
19:19
crews.
19:20
Initially,
19:20
as
19:21
ships
19:21
were
19:21
traditionally
19:22
mail
19:22
only
19:23
spaces,
19:24
those
19:24
who
19:24
were
19:25
discovered
19:25
often
19:25
had
19:26
to
19:26
prove
19:26
their
19:26
worth
19:27
through
19:27
exceptional
19:28
skill
19:28
in
19:28
combat
19:29
or
19:29
navigation
19:30
to
19:30
remain
19:30
aboard.
19:31
While
19:31
piracy
19:32
itself
19:32
was
19:32
illegal.
19:33
Regardless
19:34
of
19:34
gender,
19:34
women
19:35
could
19:35
sometimes
19:36
escape
19:36
the
19:36
death
19:36
penalty
19:37
through
19:37
pregnancy
19:38
claims
19:39
or
19:39
by
19:39
arguing
19:39
they
19:40
were
19:40
coerced.
19:41
Some
19:41
operated
19:42
under
19:42
letters
19:43
of
19:43
marque
19:43
as
19:43
privateers,
19:44
which
19:44
gave
19:45
them
19:45
semi
19:45
legal
19:46
status
19:46
when
19:47
attacking
19:47
enemy
19:47
vessels
19:48
during
19:48
wartime.
19:49
While
19:49
Cutthroat
19:50
Island's
19:51
premise
19:51
of
19:51
a
19:51
female
19:51
pirate
19:52
captain
19:52
wasn't
19:53
historically
19:54
impossible,
19:55
it
19:55
would
19:55
have
19:55
been
19:56
extremely
19:56
rare.
19:58
Just
19:58
as
19:58
rare
19:59
are
19:59
female
20:00
action
20:00
leads
20:00
in
20:00
Hollywood
20:01
movies.
20:01
And
20:02
while
20:02
they
20:02
are
20:03
nothing
20:03
new,
20:03
both
20:04
Sigourney
20:04
Weaver
20:05
and
20:05
Linda
20:05
Hamilton
20:06
had
20:06
established
20:07
the
20:07
template
20:08
and
20:08
made
20:08
significant
20:09
impact
20:09
as
20:09
women
20:10
who
20:10
could
20:10
be
20:10
both
20:11
tough
20:11
leaders
20:11
as
20:12
well
20:12
as
20:12
sympathetic
20:13
heroes.
20:13
There
20:14
were
20:14
exceptions
20:15
to
20:15
the
20:15
general
20:15
rule
20:15
that
20:16
men
20:16
dominated
20:17
the
20:17
action
20:17
genre.
20:18
But
20:19
generally,
20:20
as
20:20
in
20:20
most
20:20
things
20:21
in
20:21
life,
20:22
there
20:22
were
20:22
only
20:22
a
20:23
handful
20:23
of
20:23
exceptions.
20:24
And
20:25
I
20:25
want
20:25
to
20:25
start
20:25
this
20:25
section
20:26
of
20:26
the
20:26
episode
20:27
by
20:27
saying
20:27
vehemently,
20:29
truthfully
20:30
and
20:30
honestly,
20:31
the
20:32
Cutthroat
20:32
island
20:33
is
20:33
not
20:33
a
20:33
bad
20:34
movie.
20:35
It's
20:35
just
20:35
not.
20:36
It's
20:36
not
20:36
a
20:37
great
20:37
movie,
20:38
but
20:38
it's
20:38
no
20:39
bad
20:39
movie.
20:40
And
20:40
the
20:40
reception
20:41
that
20:41
this
20:41
movie
20:42
got
20:42
is
20:42
simply
20:43
unjustifiable.
20:44
When
20:45
you
20:45
see
20:45
what's
20:45
on
20:46
screen,
20:46
and
20:47
let's
20:47
be
20:47
honest,
20:48
we're
20:48
going
20:48
to
20:48
talk
20:48
about
20:49
finances,
20:50
the
20:50
money
20:50
is
20:51
clearly
20:51
there
20:51
on
20:52
screen.
20:52
This
20:52
is
20:52
an
20:53
expensive
20:53
movie,
20:54
but
20:54
the
20:55
money
20:55
is
20:55
visible.
20:56
But
20:57
first
20:57
Carolco
20:58
had
20:58
to
20:59
figure
20:59
out
20:59
where
20:59
to
20:59
get
20:59
this
21:00
money
21:00
from.
21:01
So
21:01
before
21:01
a
21:01
frame
21:01
of
21:02
film
21:02
was
21:02
shot,
21:03
Carolco
21:03
obtained
21:04
$50
21:04
million
21:05
by
21:06
aggressively
21:06
selling
21:07
to
21:07
overseas
21:08
distributors
21:09
at
21:09
Japan's
21:10
Pioneer
21:10
Electric
21:11
Corporation,
21:12
Canal
21:12
plus
21:13
in
21:13
France,
21:13
Rizzoli,
21:14
editor
21:15
of
21:15
Italy,
21:15
and
21:16
the
21:16
French
21:16
bank
21:17
Credit
21:17
Lyonnaise,
21:18
who
21:18
paid
21:19
upfronts
21:19
for
21:19
the
21:20
rights
21:20
to
21:20
show
21:20
the
21:21
movie.
21:21
And
21:22
this
21:22
was
21:22
a
21:22
movie
21:22
that
21:22
could
21:23
easily
21:23
be
21:23
sold
21:24
too.
21:24
It
21:24
was
21:24
going
21:24
to
21:25
be
21:25
directed
21:25
by
21:25
Renny
21:26
Harlin,
21:27
director
21:27
of
21:27
Die
21:27
Hard
21:28
2
21:28
and
21:28
Cliffhanger.
21:29
Cliffhanger
21:30
was
21:30
also
21:31
a
21:31
Carolco
21:31
picture
21:32
and
21:32
it
21:32
also
21:32
had
21:33
been
21:33
gruelling.
21:34
Tristar
21:34
had
21:35
to
21:35
step
21:35
in
21:35
to
21:35
co
21:35
finance
21:36
that
21:36
movie
21:37
due
21:37
to
21:37
Carolco's
21:38
existing
21:38
debts.
21:39
In
21:39
1989,
21:40
Mario
21:40
Kassar
21:41
had
21:41
parted
21:41
ways
21:42
with
21:42
his
21:42
founding
21:42
partner
21:43
Andrew
21:43
G.
21:43
Vajna,
21:44
who'd
21:45
been
21:45
paid
21:45
$100
21:45
million
21:46
for
21:46
his
21:46
share
21:46
in
21:47
the
21:47
company.
21:48
In
21:46
1991,
21:49
Carolco
21:49
posted
21:50
a
21:50
loss
21:50
of
21:50
$265
21:51
million.
21:52
They
21:53
restructured
21:53
in
21:54
1992
21:54
and
21:55
sold
21:55
off
21:55
shares
21:56
in
21:56
1993.
21:57
Their
21:58
only
21:58
chance
21:58
to
21:58
survive
21:59
was
21:59
to
21:59
have
21:59
a
22:00
box
22:00
Office
22:00
hit
22:01
in
22:01
1995,
22:02
this
22:03
pirate
22:03
movie
22:03
had
22:04
to
22:04
be
22:04
a
22:04
winner.
22:05
There
22:05
was
22:06
no
22:06
other
22:06
option.
22:07
Carolco
22:08
was
22:09
out
22:09
of
22:09
money.
22:10
This
22:10
was
22:10
it.
22:11
So
22:11
in
22:12
many
22:12
ways,
22:12
Cutthroat
22:13
island
22:13
was
22:14
set
22:14
up
22:14
for
22:14
failure
22:15
right
22:15
from
22:16
the
22:16
get
22:16
go.
22:18
To
22:18
lead
22:18
this
22:18
pirate
22:19
movie,
22:19
Renny
22:20
Harlin
22:20
pushed
22:20
for
22:21
his
22:21
then
22:21
girlfriend,
22:22
Geena
22:22
Davis,
22:23
who
22:23
had
22:23
been
22:23
mostly
22:24
known
22:24
for
22:24
comedic
22:25
and
22:25
dramatic
22:25
roles.
22:26
There
22:26
was
22:26
no
22:27
doubting
22:27
that
22:27
Davis
22:28
had
22:28
the
22:28
looks.
22:29
By
22:29
the
22:30
time
22:30
filming
22:30
started,
22:31
Harlin
22:31
and
22:31
Davis
22:32
had
22:32
married
22:33
and
22:33
they
22:33
referred
22:33
to
22:34
the
22:34
film
22:34
as
22:34
their
22:34
honeymoon,
22:35
the
22:36
perfect
22:36
way
22:36
to
22:36
start
22:36
married
22:37
life.
22:38
Spoiler
22:38
alert.
22:38
The
22:38
pair
22:39
divorced
22:39
a
22:39
few
22:39
years
22:39
later
22:40
in
22:40
1997.
22:41
Not
22:41
because
22:42
of
22:42
the
22:42
failure
22:42
of
22:42
this
22:43
movie,
22:43
they'd
22:44
actually
22:44
go
22:44
on
22:44
to
22:44
work
22:44
together
22:45
on
22:45
the
22:45
long
22:45
kiss
22:45
goodnight
22:46
after
22:46
Cutthroat
22:47
Ireland,
22:47
but
22:48
because
22:48
Rennie
22:48
Harlin
22:49
had
22:49
an
22:49
affair
22:50
with
22:50
Geena
22:50
Davis,
22:51
personal
22:51
assistant,
22:52
and
22:52
fathered
22:53
a
22:53
child
22:53
with
22:54
her.
22:54
Yeah,
22:55
that'll
22:55
do
22:55
it.
22:56
But
22:56
before
22:57
all
22:57
that,
22:57
Harlin
22:58
wanted
22:58
to
22:58
supercharge
22:59
Davis's
22:59
career
23:00
and
23:00
saw
23:00
making
23:01
an
23:01
action
23:01
movie
23:02
the
23:02
ideal
23:02
use
23:03
of
23:03
both
23:03
of
23:03
their
23:03
talents.
23:04
Haran
23:05
was
23:05
great
23:05
at
23:06
spectacle
23:06
and
23:07
Davis
23:07
was
23:08
coming
23:08
off
23:08
of
23:08
A
23:08
League
23:09
Of
23:09
Their
23:09
Own,
23:09
the
23:09
best
23:09
sports
23:10
movie
23:10
ever
23:10
made.
23:11
She'd
23:11
done
23:11
a
23:12
lot
23:12
of
23:12
her
23:12
own
23:12
baseball
23:13
stunts
23:13
for
23:13
that
23:13
movie.
23:14
The
23:14
logical
23:15
next
23:15
step
23:15
was,
23:15
of
23:15
course,
23:16
Pirates.
23:17
The
23:17
production
23:17
also
23:18
managed
23:18
to
23:18
nab
23:18
Michael
23:19
Douglas,
23:19
then
23:20
Hart
23:20
off
23:20
of
23:20
Basic
23:21
Instinct
23:22
for
23:22
the
23:22
role
23:22
of
23:22
William
23:23
Shaw,
23:23
a

23:30
While
23:30
Geena
23:31
Davis's
23:31
salary
23:31
for
23:32
Cutthroat
23:32
island
23:32
has
23:33
never
23:33
been
23:33
published,
23:34
Michael
23:35
Douglas
23:35
was
23:35
offered
23:36
$13
23:36
million
23:37
to
23:37
play
23:37
William
23:38
Shaw
23:39
and
23:39
he
23:39
saw
23:39
the
23:39
role
23:40
as
23:40
another
23:40
Romancing
23:41
the
23:41
Stone.
23:42
Douglas
23:43
had
23:43
two
23:43
conditions.
23:44
Filming
23:45
needed
23:45
to
23:45
start
23:45
immediately
23:46
and
23:47
his
23:47
character
23:48
had
23:48
to
23:48
have
23:48
the
23:49
exact
23:49
same
23:49
amount
23:50
of
23:50
screen
23:50
time
23:51
as
23:51
Geena
23:51
Davis.
23:53
In
23:53
Romancing
23:54
the
23:54
Stone,
23:54
Michael
23:54
Douglas
23:55
was
23:55
very
23:55
much
23:55
the
23:56
lead
23:56
actor,
23:56
with
23:57
Kathleen
23:57
Turner
23:58
playing
23:58
second
23:58
to
23:59
him,
23:59
and
23:59
he
23:59
wanted
24:00
this
24:00
dynamic
24:01
for
24:01
Cutthroat
24:01
island.
24:02
And
24:02
he's
24:03
literally
24:03
just
24:03
been
24:04
completely
24:04
outshone
24:05
on
24:05
screen
24:05
for
24:06
Sharon
24:06
Stone
24:06
in
24:07
Basic
24:07
Instinct.
24:08
However,
24:08
as
24:09
the
24:09
script
24:09
developed,
24:10
Davis's
24:11
part
24:11
kept
24:11
getting
24:12
bigger
24:12
and
24:12
he's
24:13
smaller.
24:14
Douglas
24:14
asked
24:14
for
24:14
the
24:15
male
24:15
part
24:15
to
24:15
be
24:15
beefed
24:16
up,
24:16
but
24:16
when
24:16
the
24:17
director
24:17
is
24:17
married
24:18
to
24:18
the
24:18
lead
24:18
actor,
24:19
that
24:19
lead
24:20
actor
24:20
in
24:20
this
24:20
case
24:21
was
24:21
not
24:21
Michael
24:21
Douglas.
24:22
So
24:23
Douglas
24:23
left
24:23
the
24:24
movie
24:24
when
24:24
he
24:24
realised
24:25
he
24:25
would
24:25
be
24:25
second
24:26
billing
24:26
to
24:26
Geena
24:27
Davis,
24:27
who,
24:28
while
24:28
she
24:28
was
24:29
a
24:29
reasonably
24:29
big
24:30
name
24:30
at
24:30
the
24:30
time,
24:31
she
24:31
wasn't.
24:32
Compared
24:32
to
24:33
the
24:33
name
24:33
Michael
24:33
Douglas,
24:35
the
24:35
now
24:35
vacant
24:36
role
24:36
of
24:36
William
24:36
Shaw
24:37
became
24:37
a
24:37
bit
24:38
of
24:38
a
24:38
poison
24:38
chalice.
24:39
Though,
24:39
because
24:39
which
24:40
white
24:40
male
24:41
a
24:41
list
24:41
actor
24:41
in
24:42
Hollywood
24:42
would
24:43
want
24:43
to
24:43
play
24:43
second
24:44
fiddle
24:44
to
24:44
the
24:44
director's
24:45
wife?
24:46
Tom
24:46
Cruise,
24:47
Mel
24:47
Gibson,
24:48
Liam
24:48
Neeson,
24:49
Jeff
24:49
Bridges,
24:50
Ralph
24:50
Fiennes,
24:51
Charlie
24:51
Sheen,
24:52
Michael
24:52
Keaton,
24:53
Tim
24:53
Robbins,
24:53
Daniel
24:54
Day
24:54
Lewis,
24:55
Kurt
24:55
Russell
24:55
and
24:55
Gabriel
24:56
Byrne
24:56
were
24:57
all
24:57
offered
24:57
it,
24:58
and
24:58
they
24:58
all
24:58
passed.
24:59
And
25:00
so,
25:00
with
25:00
the
25:00
greatest
25:01
respect
25:01
to
25:01
Matthew
25:01
Modine,
25:02
they
25:02
went
25:03
with
25:03
a
25:03
less
25:04
than
25:04
a
25:04
list
25:04
actor.
25:05
Significantly
25:06
less
25:06
bankable
25:07
than
25:07
Douglas,
25:08
but
25:08
15
25:08
years
25:09
his
25:09
junior.
25:10
Modine
25:10
was
25:11
best
25:11
known
25:11
for
25:11
his
25:11
leading
25:12
role
25:12
in
25:12
Stanley
25:13
Kubrick's
25:13
Full
25:13
Metal
25:14
Jacket
25:14
and
25:15
in
25:15
Memphis
25:15
Belle.
25:16
It
25:16
was
25:17
a
25:17
necessary
25:17
casting
25:18
on
25:18
many
25:18
levels.
25:19
They
25:19
needed
25:19
a
25:20
man
25:20
for
25:20
the
25:20
role,
25:21
and
25:21
at
25:21
this
25:21
point,
25:21
they
25:22
needed
25:22
someone
25:22
cheap.
25:23
Modine
25:24
fit
25:24
both
25:24
of
25:24
those,
25:25
and
25:25
he
25:25
also
25:26
had
25:26
experience
25:27
fencing.
25:28
Ironically,
25:28
the
25:28
state
25:29
of
25:29
play
25:29
was
25:29
so
25:30
desperate
25:30
by
25:30
this
25:30
point
25:31
that
25:31
both
25:31
Harlin
25:32
and
25:32
Davis
25:32
wanted
25:33
to
25:33
leave
25:33
the
25:33
production.
25:34
However,
25:35
they
25:35
both
25:35
signed
25:36
contracts,
25:36
so
25:36
they
25:36
had
25:37
no
25:37
choice
25:37
but
25:37
to
25:38
continue.
25:39
They
25:39
were
25:39
not
25:39
the
25:40
only
25:40
ones.
25:41
They
25:41
were
25:41
so
25:41
concerned
25:42
about
25:42
the
25:42
script
25:43
at
25:43
that
25:43
point
25:43
that
25:44
Renny
25:44
Harlin
25:45
personally
25:45
spent
25:45
a
25:46
million
25:46
dollars
25:46
of
25:47
his
25:47
own
25:47
money
25:47
to
25:48
hire
25:48
Mark
25:48
Norman
25:49
to
25:49
perform
25:49
script
25:50
rewrites.
25:51
Harlin
25:52
was
25:52
allowed
25:52
to
25:52
complete
25:52
other
25:53
commitments.
25:53
As
25:53
pre
25:54
production
25:54
on
25:54
Cutthroat
25:55
island
25:55
began,
25:56
set
25:56
designers
25:57
and
25:57
builders
25:57
were
25:57
sent
25:58
to
25:58
Malta
25:58
weeks
25:59
before
25:59
Harlin
25:59
arrived.
26:00
They
26:00
built
26:01
entire
26:01
streets
26:02
without
26:02
the
26:02
director's
26:03
approval
26:03
because
26:04
he
26:04
wasn't
26:04
around.
26:05
So
26:05
when
26:05
Harlin
26:06
finally
26:06
arrived
26:06
in
26:07
Malta,
26:07
he
26:08
didn't
26:08
like
26:08
any
26:09
of
26:09
the
26:09
work
26:09
and
26:09
demanded
26:10
it
26:10
be
26:10
changed
26:11
to
26:11
how
26:11
he
26:11
wanted
26:12
it,
26:12
which
26:12
obviously
26:13
led
26:13
to
26:13
more
26:13
cost.
26:14
A
26:14
thousand
26:15
feet
26:15
of
26:15
buildings
26:16
along
26:16
the
26:16
quayside
26:17
in
26:17
Malta
26:18
needed
26:18
new
26:18
facades
26:19
erected
26:19
to
26:20
double
26:20
as
26:20
port
26:20
Royal
26:21
in
26:21
1668.
26:23
The
26:23
set
26:23
changes
26:24
in
26:24
Malta
26:24
and
26:24
the
26:24
increasingly
26:25
desperate
26:25
search
26:26
for
26:26
a
26:26
male
26:26
lead
26:27
caused
26:27
morale
26:28
both
26:28
on
26:28
and
26:29
off
26:29
set
26:29
to
26:30
sink
26:30
lower
26:30
than
26:31
Davy
26:31
Jones
26:31
locker.
26:32
As
26:32
the
26:33
date
26:33
approached
26:33
for
26:34
the
26:34
cameras
26:34
to
26:34
roll,
26:35
several
26:35
senior
26:36
people
26:36
involved
26:36
with
26:37
the
26:37
film
26:37
decided
26:37
to
26:38
abandon
26:38
ship,
26:39
including
26:39
producer
26:40
David
26:40
Nichols,
26:41
who
26:41
regularly
26:42
argued
26:42
with
26:42
Harlin,
26:43
and
26:43
chief
26:43
camera
26:44
operator
26:44
Nicola
26:45
Pecorini,
26:46
who
26:46
was
26:46
fired
26:46
by
26:47
Harlin
26:47
after
26:47
a
26:48
tussle.
26:48
Pecorini
26:49
took
26:49
two
26:50
dozen
26:50
other
26:50
crew
26:51
members
26:51
who
26:51
were
26:51
tired
26:52
of
26:52
Harlin's
26:52
outbursts
26:53
with
26:54
him.
26:54
Art
26:55
director
26:55
Wolf
26:55
Kroeger
26:56
also
26:56
walked.
26:57
There
26:58
were
26:58
serious
26:58
injuries
26:59
on
26:59
set,
26:59
too.
26:59
They
27:00
used
27:00
giant
27:00
tanks
27:01
in
27:01
Malta
27:01
to
27:02
film
27:02
certain
27:02
ocean
27:03
scene,
27:03
but
27:04
in
27:04
the
27:04
first
27:04
week,
27:04
cinematographer
27:05
Oliver
27:06
Wood
27:06
fell
27:07
off
27:07
a
27:07
crane
27:07
into
27:08
one
27:08
of
27:08
the
27:08
tanks,
27:09
breaking
27:09
his
27:09
leg,
27:10
and
27:10
had
27:10
to
27:10
be
27:10
replaced
27:11
by
27:11
Peter
27:11
Levy.
27:12
Matthew
27:13
Modine
27:13
needed
27:13
stitches
27:14
after
27:14
getting
27:14
hit
27:15
on
27:15
the
27:15
head
27:15
by
27:15
a
27:16
rogue
27:16
barrel
27:16
in
27:17
a
27:17
scene
27:17
which
27:17
actually
27:18
ends
27:18
up
27:18
in
27:19
the
27:19
movie,
27:20
but
27:20
Harlin
27:21
didn't
27:21
want
27:21
to
27:21
cut
27:22
Corners.
27:22
He
27:23
wanted
27:23
a
27:23
full
27:24
sized,
27:24
big
27:24
scale,
27:25
epic
27:25
pirate
27:26
movie
27:27
unhindered
27:27
by
27:28
reality
27:28
or
27:28
budget.
27:29
This
27:30
would
27:30
obviously
27:30
be
27:30
an
27:30
issue.
27:31
The
27:31
film's
27:32
two
27:32
pirate
27:32
ships,
27:33
the
27:33
Morning
27:33
Star
27:33
and
27:34
the
27:34
Reaper,
27:34
had
27:35
20
27:35
working
27:35
cannons
27:36
on
27:36
each
27:37
side.
27:37
They
27:37
were
27:38
full
27:38
sized
27:38
replicas
27:39
of
27:39
17th
27:40
century
27:40
ships
27:41
which
27:41
cost
27:41
a
27:42
million
27:42
dollars
27:42
each.
27:43
They
27:44
were
27:44
able
27:44
to
27:44
fight
27:44
full
27:45
scale
27:45
sea
27:46

27:49
During

27:50
one
27:50
of
27:50
these
27:50
ships
27:51
caught
27:51
fire
27:51
and
27:52
disaster
27:52
was
27:52
narrowly
27:53
averted,
27:54
but
27:54
production

was
27:55
still
27:55
suspended

Harlin
28:00
wrote
28:00
to
28:00
his
28:01
crew
28:01
in
28:01
a
28:01
July
28:01
1994
28:02
leaked
28:03
memo.
28:04
I
28:04
don't
28:05

I

28:09
I
28:09
don't

want

28:13
Broken

28:17

28:18
where
28:18
the
28:18
actors
28:18
were
28:19
supposed
28:19
to
28:19
swim.
28:20
Renny
28:21
Harlin
28:21
continued
28:22
to
28:22
justify
28:22
the
28:23
excessive
28:23
costs,
28:24
flying
28:24
in
28:24
horses
28:25
from
28:25
Austria,
28:26
carpenters
28:27
from
28:27
England
28:27
and
28:27
stuntmen
28:28
from
28:28
Poland.
28:29
He
28:29
ordered
28:30
2,000
28:30
costumes,
28:31
309
28:32
firearms,
28:33
620
28:34
swords,
28:35
250
28:36
daggers
28:36
and
28:37
almost
28:37
100
28:37
custom
28:38
made
28:38
axes.
28:39
The
28:39
shoot
28:40
would
28:40
move
28:40
from
28:40
Malta
28:41
to
28:41
Thailand
28:42
to
28:42
film
28:42
on
28:42
the
28:42
open
28:43
waters,
28:44
which
28:44
as
28:44
we
28:44
all
28:45
know,
28:45
is
28:45
especially
28:46
tricky.
28:46
And
28:47
while
28:47
out
28:47
there,
28:47
the
28:48
movie
28:48
suffered
28:48
more
28:49
delays
28:49
through
28:50
injuries
28:50
and
28:50
sickness.
28:51
Most
28:52
of
28:52
the
28:52
crew
28:52
were
28:52
hit
28:52
with
28:53
stomach
28:53
bugs
28:53
from
28:54
food
28:54
poisoning,
28:55
including
28:55
Harlan
28:56
and
28:56
Davis.
28:57
Matthew
28:57
Modine
28:58
was
28:58
remarkably
28:58
unscathed
28:59
as
28:59
he
28:59
refused
29:00
to
29:00
eat
29:00
the
29:00
local
29:01
seafood.
29:02
Davis
29:02
also
29:03
struggled
29:03
with
29:03
exhaustion
29:04
with
29:05
the
29:05
stunt
29:05
work,
29:05
leaving
29:06
her
29:06
often
29:06
bruised
29:07
and
29:07
sometimes
29:07
injured
29:08
after
29:08
having
29:09
to
29:09
do
29:09
stunts
29:10
over
29:10
and
29:10
over
29:11
again.
29:12
And
29:12
the
29:12
costs
29:12
kept
29:13
climbing.
29:14
Every
29:14
scene
29:14
had
29:15
three
29:15
cameras
29:15
in
29:16
constant
29:16
use,
29:17
resulting
29:17
in
29:17
yards
29:18
and
29:18
yards
29:18
of
29:18
film
29:19
for
29:19
every
29:19
shot.
29:20
And
29:20
the
29:20
lead
29:21
actor
29:21
and
29:21
director
29:22
were
29:22
very
29:22
demanding
29:23
too,
29:24
requiring
29:24
dozens
29:25
of
29:25
cases
29:25
of
29:25
V8
29:26
vegetable
29:26
juice
29:27
to
29:27
be
29:27
shipped
29:27
out
29:28
to
29:28
Malta
29:29
only
29:29
for
29:29
them
29:29
to
29:30
drink.
29:30
Towards
29:31
the
29:31
end
29:31
of
29:31
the
29:31
shoot,
29:32
an
29:32
entire
29:32
room
29:33
of
29:33
V8
29:33
was
29:34
left.
29:34
So
29:34
to
29:35
save
29:35
waste,
29:36
everyone
29:36
else
29:36
on
29:37
the
29:37
cast
29:37
and
29:37
crew
29:37
had
29:38
to
29:38
drink
29:38
it.
29:39
This
29:39
was
29:39
confirmed
29:39
by
29:40
Matthew
29:40
Modine
29:41
several
29:41
years
29:41
later.
29:42
He
29:42
would
29:42
also
29:43
say
29:43
that
29:43
Renny
29:43
Harlin
29:44
wouldn't
29:44
actually
29:45
speak
29:45
to
29:45
him
29:46
because
29:46
he
29:46
was
29:46
so
29:47
focused
29:47
on
29:47
his
29:47
wife
29:48
and
29:48
his
29:48
wife's
29:49
performance.
29:50
And
29:50
showing
29:50
his
29:50
wife
29:51
in
29:51
the
29:51
best
29:51
possible
29:52
light,
29:52
which
29:53
is
29:53
admirable
29:54
as
29:54
a
29:54
husband,
29:55
but
29:55
if
29:55
you're
29:56
a
29:56
director,
29:56
you
29:57
kinda
29:57
need
29:57
to
29:58
direct
29:58
everyone,
29:59
not
29:59
just
30:00
your
30:00
wife.
30:01
Modine
30:01
had
30:02
seen
30:02
the
30:02
project
30:02
as
30:02
a
30:03
breakout
30:03
movie
30:03
for
30:04
his
30:04
career,
30:05
and
30:05
understandably,
30:05
he
30:06
started
30:06
to
30:06
express
30:06
some
30:07
bitterness
30:07
after
30:08
its
30:08
release.
30:09
Directed
30:09
especially
30:10
towards
30:11
Harlin
30:11
and
30:11
Davis,
30:13
the
30:13
indoor
30:14
scenes
30:14
were
30:14
shot
30:14
at
30:15
Mediterranean
30:15
Film
30:16
Studios
30:16
in
30:16
Calcutta,
30:17
Malta
30:18
and
30:18
Models
30:18
were
30:19
shot
30:19
at
30:19
paddock
30:20
tank
30:20
in
30:20
Pinewood
30:20
studios
30:21
here
30:21
in
30:21
the
30:22
uk.
30:22
The
30:23
visual
30:23
effects
30:23
work
30:24
included
30:24
miniature
30:25
ship
30:25
models,
30:25
which
30:26
were
30:26
obviously
30:26
a
30:26
staple
30:27
of
30:27
the
30:27
golden
30:28
age
30:28
of
30:28
pirate
30:28
movies.
30:29
Peter
30:30
Field
30:30
worked
30:30
as
30:30
a
30:31
B
30:31
camera
30:31
operator
30:32
on
30:32
the
30:32
UK
30:32
model
30:33
unit
30:34
and
30:34
he
30:34
was
30:34
the
30:34
son
30:35
of
30:35
Roy
30:35
Field
30:36
who
30:36
worked
30:36
on
30:37
Superman's
30:37
visual
30:38
effects.
30:38
The
30:39
miniature
30:39
ships
30:40
do
30:40
not
30:40
age
30:40
particularly
30:41
well
30:41
when
30:41
watching
30:42
this
30:42
movie
30:42
in
30:42
high
30:42
definition,
30:44
but
30:44
I
30:44
kind
30:45
of
30:45
love
30:45
them.
30:46
Renny
30:47
Harlin
30:47
required
30:48
actors
30:48
to
30:48
do
30:49
their
30:49
own
30:49
stunts
30:49
wherever
30:50
possible,
30:51
but
30:51
this
30:51
often
30:51
led
30:52
to
30:52
injuries,
30:52
including
30:53
Geena
30:53
Davis
30:54
narrowly
30:55
escaping
30:55
permanent
30:56
spinal
30:56
damage.
30:57
In
30:57
one
30:57
of
30:58
the
30:58
best
30:58
stunts
30:58
in
30:58
the
30:58
movie,
30:59
she
30:59
fell
30:59
out
30:59
of
31:00
the
31:00
window
31:00
too
31:00
soon,
31:01
rolled
31:01
down
31:02
the
31:02
roof
31:02
and
31:02
under
31:02
the
31:03
carriage
31:03
rather
31:03
than
31:04
on
31:04
the
31:04
carriage.
31:05
And
31:05
this
31:05
stunt
31:06
is
31:06
widely
31:06
cited
31:06
as
31:07
being
31:07
Davis
31:07
in
31:07
the
31:08
movie
31:08
and
31:08
she
31:09
herself
31:09
has
31:09
said
31:09
that
31:10
it's
31:10
her
31:10
doing
31:10
the
31:10
stunt.
31:11
However,
31:12
some
31:12
experts
31:12
claim
31:13
the
31:13
stunt
31:13
is
31:14
too
31:14
complex,
31:15
containing
31:15
multiple
31:16
moving
31:16
elements
31:17
for
31:17
any
31:17
actor
31:18
to
31:18
be
31:18
allowed
31:18
to
31:18
do
31:19
it.
31:19
That
31:19
no
31:20
insurer
31:20
would
31:20
actually
31:21
cover
31:22
is
31:22
definitely
31:23
her
31:23
after
31:23
the
31:23
hair
31:24
flips
31:24
back.
31:25
However,
31:25
you
31:25
also
31:26
could
31:26
say
31:26
it
31:27
could
31:27
be
31:27
a
31:27
composite
31:28
shot
31:28
with
31:29
Davis
31:29
taking
31:29
the
31:30
place
31:30
of
31:30
the
31:30
stunt
31:30
person.
31:31
Either
31:31
way,
31:32
it
31:32
is
31:32
a
31:32
brilliant,
31:33
brilliant
31:33
stunt
31:34
and
31:34
this
31:35
is
31:35
where
31:35
the
31:35
movie
31:35
excels
31:36
the
31:37
stunts
31:37
and
31:37
the
31:38
action.
31:39
The
31:39
film's
31:39
explosions
31:40
used
31:40
traditional
31:41
pyrotechnics
31:42
rather
31:42
than
31:42
digital
31:43
effects,
31:43
which
31:44
was
31:44
still
31:44
in
31:44
their
31:44
infancy
31:45
in
31:45
1995.

31:49
cannon
31:49
fire
31:49
and
31:50
ship
31:50
explosions
31:51
required
31:51
extensive
31:52
coordination
31:53
between
31:53
the
31:53
special
31:53

team,
31:54
stunt
31:55

31:55
and

31:57
with

detailed
31:58
storyboarding
31:59
of
31:59
each
31:59

32:00

32:00
careful
32:01
placement
32:01
of

pyrotechnic

32:06
combat
32:07
scenes,
32:07
they
32:07

32:07
a

combination

of

32:20
eel
32:20
puppets.
32:21
Just
32:21
on
32:22
a
32:22
by
32:22
note,
32:22
Renny
32:23
Harlin
32:23
loves
32:23
a
32:24
good
32:24
explosion.
32:25
See
32:25
also
32:25
the
32:25
long
32:26
Kiss
32:26
Good
32:26
Night.
32:28
Digital
32:28
effects
32:29
were
32:29
used,
32:30
such
32:30
as
32:30
when
32:30
Matthew
32:31
Modine
32:31
and
32:31
Geena
32:31
Davis
32:32
are
32:32
hanging
32:32
off
32:32
the
32:32
cliff.
32:33
They
32:33
digitally
32:34
erased
32:34
safety
32:35
wires
32:35
and
32:36
added
32:36
the
32:36
crashing
32:36
waves
32:37
below
32:37
them.
32:38
Some
32:38
of
32:38
the
32:38
digital
32:39
compositing
32:39
is
32:40
seamless
32:41
and
32:41
some
32:41
of
32:41
the
32:41
digital
32:42
effects
32:42
really
32:42
show
32:43
their
32:43
age.
32:44
When
32:44
the
32:44
production
32:45
moved
32:45
to
32:45
Thailand,
32:46
they
32:46
couldn't
32:46
take
32:47
the
32:47
two
32:47
ships
32:48
with
32:48
them,
32:48
so
32:49
they
32:49
built
32:49
a
32:49
single
32:50
ship
32:50
in
32:50
Jakarta.
32:51
But
32:51
they
32:51
made
32:52
it
32:52
with
32:52
interchangeable
32:53
parts
32:54
so
32:54
they
32:54
could
32:54
use
32:54
it
32:54
as
32:55
two
32:55
different
32:55
ships
32:55
by
32:56
swapping
32:56
out
32:56
the
32:56
elements,
32:57
the
32:57
front
32:57
and
32:57
rear,
32:58
and
32:58
then
32:59
used
32:59
editing
33:00
and
33:00
digital
33:00
compositing
33:02
to
33:02
fund
33:02
these
33:03
extra
33:03
costs
33:03
that
33:03
Harlan
33:04
had
33:04
jacked
33:04
up.
33:05
Mario
33:05
Casa
33:06
had
33:06
managed
33:07
to
33:07
get
33:07
an
33:07
extra
33:08
$40
33:08
million
33:09
out
33:09
of
33:10
a
33:10
European
33:10
banking
33:11
syndicate
33:12
just
33:12
to
33:12
get
33:12
the
33:13
film
33:13
finished,
33:14
obviously
33:14
promising
33:15
that
33:16
they
33:16
would
33:16
definitely
33:16
get
33:17
their
33:17
money
33:17
back
33:17
because
33:18
it
33:18
was
33:18
going
33:18
to
33:18
be
33:18
a
33:19
huge
33:19
hit.
33:20
When
33:21
the
33:21
shoot
33:21
finished
33:22
in
33:22
Thailand,
33:23
there
33:23
was
33:23
a
33:23
wrap
33:23
party
33:24
on
33:24
April
33:24
Fool's
33:25
Day,
33:25
but
33:26
Geena
33:26
Davis
33:26
and
33:26
Renny
33:27
Harlin
33:27
didn't
33:28
attend.
33:29
Due
33:29
to
33:29
the
33:29
various
33:30
costly
33:30
delays,
33:31
the
33:31
release
33:31
date
33:32
for
33:32
Cutthroat
33:32
island
33:33
was
33:33
moved
33:33
from
33:34
summer
33:34
1995
33:35
to
33:36
a
33:36
much
33:36
more
33:36
competitive
33:37
slot
33:37
in
33:38
December.
33:39
Christmas
33:40
would
33:40
not
33:40
be
33:41
a
33:41
jolly
33:41
time
33:42
for
33:42
this
33:42
movie.
33:43
Let's
33:44
segue,
33:44
though,
33:44
into
33:45
the
33:45
jolliest
33:46
part
33:46
of
33:46
this
33:47
podcast.
33:47
It
33:48
is
33:48
time
33:48
for
33:48
the
33:48
Obligatory
33:49
Keanu
33:49
reference.
33:50
If
33:50
you
33:50
don't
33:50
know
33:51
what
33:51
this
33:51
is,
33:51
it's
33:52
where
33:52
I
33:52
try
33:52
and
33:52
link
33:52
every
33:53
movie
33:53
that
33:53
I'm
33:53
featuring
33:54
with
33:54
Keanu
33:55
Reeves
33:55
for
33:56
no
33:56
reason
33:56
other
33:57
than
33:57
he
33:57
is
33:57
genuinely
33:58
the
33:58
best
33:58
of
33:58
men.
33:59
And
33:59
he
33:59
has
34:00
continued
34:00
to
34:00
be
34:00
the
34:00
best
34:01
of
34:01
men
34:01
since,
34:02
oh,
34:03
the
34:03
start
34:03
of
34:03
time.
34:04
And
34:04
this
34:04
was
34:05
remarkably
34:05
easy
34:06
because
34:06
another
34:07
anus
34:07
actor
34:08
who
34:08
passed
34:08
on
34:08
the
34:09
role
34:09
of
34:09
William
34:09
Shaw
34:10
was
34:11
Keanu
34:11
Reeves.
34:12
And
34:13
this
34:13
would
34:13
have
34:13
been
34:14
literally
34:14
just
34:15
after
34:15
speed
34:16
for
34:16
him,
34:17
possibly
34:17
replacing
34:18
either
34:18
Johnny
34:19
Mnemonic
34:19
or
34:19
A
34:20
Walk
34:20
in
34:20
the
34:20
Clouds.
34:21
I
34:21
recently
34:22
re
34:22
watched
34:22
Johnny
34:23
Mnemonic
34:23
after,
34:24
well,
34:25
not
34:25
seeing
34:25
it
34:25
since
34:26
the
34:26
90s.
34:27
And
34:28
that
34:28
is
34:28
a
34:28
strange
34:29
beast
34:29
of
34:29
a
34:29
movie.
34:30
And
34:30
I
34:31
don't
34:31
think
34:31
I've
34:31
seen
34:31
A
34:31
Walk
34:32
in
34:32
the
34:32
Clouds
34:32
or
34:33
if
34:33
I
34:33
have,
34:33
it's
34:34
not
34:34
very
34:34
memorable.
34:35
Unlike
34:35
Cutthroat
34:36
island,
34:36
which
34:36
is
34:37
incredibly
34:38
memorable,
34:39
as
34:39
is
34:39
Cutthroat
34:40
Island's
34:40
score.
34:41
Now,
34:42
John
34:42
Debney's
34:43
score
34:43
for
34:43
Cutthroat
34:44
island
34:44
has
34:45
actually
34:45
been
34:45
praised
34:47
for
34:47
its
34:47
style,
34:48
which
34:48
is
34:48
reminiscent
34:49
of
34:50
the
34:50
Golden
34:50
Age
34:51
Hollywood
34:51
swashbuckling
34:52
scores
34:52
by
34:52
Eric
34:53
Wolfgang
34:53
Korngold.
34:55
It's
34:55
been
34:55
noted
34:55
as
34:56
one
34:56
of
34:56
Debney's
34:57
best
34:57
compositions.
34:58
The
34:58
score
34:58
uses
34:59
traditional
34:59
orchestral
35:00
backing
35:00
with
35:01
a
35:01
choir
35:01
and
35:02
was
35:02
performed
35:02
by
35:03
the
35:03
London
35:03
Symphony
35:04
Orchestra
35:04
with
35:05
choral
35:05
contributions
35:06
by
35:06
the
35:06
London
35:07
Voices
35:07
and
35:07
was
35:08
conducted
35:08
by
35:08
David
35:09
Snell.
35:10
So
35:10
we're
35:10
getting
35:11
into
35:11
the
35:11
release
35:11
of
35:12
this
35:12
movie.
35:12
They
35:13
have
35:13
a
35:13
pirate
35:13
movie
35:14
ready
35:14
to
35:14
go
35:14
and
35:15
now
35:15
they
35:15
need
35:16
to
35:16
market
35:16
that
35:17
movie.
35:17
Now,
35:18
they
35:18
did
35:18
do
35:19
quite
35:19
a
35:19
lot
35:20
of
35:20
TV
35:20
spots
35:21
in
35:21
America
35:22
featuring
35:22
Geena
35:23
Davis,
35:23
with
35:24
her
35:24
being
35:24
interviewed,
35:25
talking
35:25
about
35:25
the
35:26
process
35:26
of
35:26
filming.
35:27
But
35:27
when
35:27
it
35:27
came
35:28
to
35:28
actively
35:28
marketing
35:29
the
35:29
movie,
35:29
post
35:30
it
35:30
being
35:31
finished,
35:32
there
35:32
were
35:32
more
35:33
problems.
35:34
Carolco
35:35
had
35:35
already
35:35
spent
35:35
a
35:35
lot
35:36
of
35:36
money
35:37
and
35:37
now
35:37
their
35:37
distributor,
35:38
mgm,
35:39
is
35:40
in
35:40
the
35:40
process
35:41
of
35:41
being
35:41
sold,
35:42
so
35:42
there
35:43
was
35:43
no
35:43
financing
35:44
for
35:44
marketing.
35:45
So
35:45
this
35:45
meant
35:46
that
35:46
despite
35:46
the
35:46
film's
35:47
massive
35:47
budget,
35:48
it
35:48
lacked
35:49
the
35:49
promotional
35:49
support
35:50
that
35:50
a
35:50
blockbuster
35:51
of
35:51
that
35:51
scale
35:52
would
35:52
normally
35:53
receive.
35:54
Then,
35:54
a
35:55
month
35:55
before
35:55
Cutthroat
35:56
island
35:56
was
35:56
due
35:56
to
35:57
be
35:57
released,
35:58
Carolco
35:59
finally
35:59
gave
35:59
up
35:59
the
35:59
ghost
36:00
and
36:00
filed
36:00
for
36:01
Chapter
36:01
11
36:01
bankruptcy.
36:03
The
36:03
bankruptcy
36:04
filing
36:04
occurred
36:05
that
36:05
while
36:05
the
36:05
film
36:05
was
36:06
still
36:06
in
36:06
its
36:06
post
36:06
production
36:07
and
36:07
marketing
36:07
phases,
36:08
which
36:08
obviously
36:09
then
36:09
severely
36:10
limited
36:11
any
36:11
financial
36:12
resources
36:12
that
36:13
might
36:13
have
36:13
been
36:13
available
36:14
for
36:14
promotion
36:15
because
36:16
they
36:16
filed
36:16
for
36:16
bankruptcy.
36:17
Cutthroat
36:18
island
36:19
could
36:19
have
36:19
been
36:19
the
36:19
greatest
36:20
movie
36:20
in
36:20
the
36:20
world,
36:21
but
36:21
there
36:21
was
36:22
no
36:22
one
36:22
to
36:22
market
36:22
it,
36:23
no
36:23
money
36:24
for
36:24
promotional
36:24
material,
36:25
no
36:25
huge
36:26
star
36:26
names
36:26
to
36:27
guarantee
36:27
footfall,
36:28
and
36:28
it
36:28
had
36:29
cost
36:29
a
36:29
hell
36:29
of
36:29
a
36:29
lot
36:30
of
36:30
money.
36:31
So
36:31
in
36:31
many
36:32
ways,
36:32
Cutthroat
36:32
island
36:33
was
36:33
doomed
36:34
before
36:34
it
36:35
ever
36:35
set
36:35
foot
36:35
in
36:36
cinemas.
36:36
Regardless
36:37
of
36:37
its
36:37
quality.
36:39
Cutthroat
36:39
island
36:40
was
36:40
released
36:40
on
36:40
22
36:41
December
36:42
1995
36:43
in
36:43
the
36:43
US
36:43
in
36:44
a
36:44
crowded
36:45
box
36:45
office
36:45
with
36:46
other
36:46
movies
36:46
out
36:47
at
36:47
the
36:47
time,
36:47
including
36:48
Toy
36:48
Story,
36:49
which
36:49
was
36:49
number
36:50
one

36:54

six

37:00
Also
37:01
out
37:02
the
37:02
same
37:02
week
37:02
as
37:02
Cutthroat
37:03
Island,
37:04
Waiting

37:12
And
37:12
all
37:12
of
37:12
those
37:12
movies
37:13
charted
37:14
higher
37:14
than
37:15
Cutthroat
37:15
Island.
37:16
On
37:16
its
37:17
debut
37:17
at
37:17
the
37:17
US
37:17
box
37:18
office,
37:18
Cutthroat
37:19
Ireland
37:19
was
37:20
14th
37:21
in
37:21
its
37:22
second
37:22
week,
37:22
it
37:22
only
37:23
dropped
37:23
one
37:23
place
37:24
to
37:24
15th.
37:25
But
37:25
the
37:25
damage
37:26
was
37:26
already
37:26
done.
37:27
Cutthroat
37:28
Ireland
37:28
was
37:29
removed
37:29
from
37:29
cinemas
37:30
after
37:30
just
37:30
two
37:31
weeks,
37:31
and
37:31
the
37:32
reason
37:32
for
37:32
this
37:32
was
37:32
simple
37:33
bums
37:34
on
37:34
seats.
37:35
Since
37:35
Cutthroat
37:36
island
37:36
was
37:36
clearly
37:37
not
37:37
attracting
37:37
moviegoers,
37:39
theatre
37:39
owners
37:40
had
37:40
no
37:40
financial
37:41
incentive
37:41
to
37:41
continue
37:42
showing
37:42
it.
37:43
So
37:43
the
37:44
movie
37:44
was
37:44
simply
37:44
removed.
37:46
This
37:46
is
37:46
when
37:46
we
37:47
obviously
37:47
get
37:47
into
37:47
financials
37:48
and
37:49
financials
37:49
for
37:50
the
37:50
movie
37:50
are
37:50
mixed.
37:51
Estimates
37:52
are
37:52
that
37:52
the
37:52
Movie
37:53
costs
37:53
between
37:53
92
37:54
to
37:55
98
37:55
million
37:56
dollars,
37:57
although
37:57
some
37:58
sources
37:58
put
37:59
the
37:59
figure
37:59
as
37:59
high
38:00
as
38:00
115
38:01
million
38:01
dollars.
38:02
Box
38:03
office
38:03
mojo
38:03
state
38:04
98
38:04
million.
38:05
So
38:05
that's
38:06
the
38:06
one
38:06
that
38:06
I'm
38:06
gonna
38:07
go
38:07
with.
38:07
On
38:08
its
38:08
$98
38:08
million
38:09
budget,
38:10
Cutthroat
38:09
island
38:11
grossed
38:11
$10
38:12
million
38:13
domestically
38:13
in
38:13
the
38:14
US
38:14
and
38:12
$6
38:15
million
38:16
internationally,
38:17
for
38:17
a
38:17
total
38:17
worldwide
38:18
gross
38:18
of
38:15
$16
38:18
million.
38:20
$98
38:22
million
38:23
in
38:22
1995
38:25
in
38:25
today's
38:25
money
38:26
is
38:27
$206
38:28
million.
38:29
Adjusted
38:30
for
38:30
inflation,
38:30
the
38:31
losses
38:31
equal
38:32
150
38:33
to
38:33
$200
38:34
million.
38:35
Cutthroat
38:36
Thailand
38:36
was
38:37
once
38:37
listed
38:37
as
38:37
having
38:38
the
38:38

38:42
The
38:43

38:43
of
38:43
producing,
38:44

38:45
marketing
38:45
and
38:45
distributing
38:46
Cutthroat
38:47
island
38:47
totaled
38:48
$121
38:49
million.
38:51
Carolco
38:52
lost
38:52
about
38:52
47
38:53
million
38:53
on
38:53
the
38:53
project,
38:54
but
38:54
most
38:55
of
38:55
that
38:55
was
38:55
carried
38:56
by
38:56
the
38:56
unfortunate
38:57
investors
38:57
who
38:58
invested
38:58
in
38:59
this
38:59
project.
39:00
Carolco's
39:01
chairman,
39:01
Mario
39:01
Cassab,
39:02
did
39:03
still
39:03
receive
39:03
his
39:04
one
39:04
million
39:04
dollar
39:05
fee
39:05
for
39:05
ensuring
39:06
that
39:06
Cutthroat
39:07
island
39:07
was
39:07
finished,
39:08
and
39:08
he
39:09
is
39:09
probably
39:09
the
39:09
only
39:10
person
39:10
to
39:10
actually
39:11
make
39:11
money
39:12
off
39:12
of
39:12
this
39:12
movie
39:13
now,
39:14
despite
39:14
it
39:14
being
39:15
a
39:15
bit
39:16
of
39:16
a
39:16
huge
39:16
financial
39:17
bomb,
39:18
critically,
39:19
A
39:19

39:20

sits
39:20
at
39:21
a

reasonably
39:21
decent
39:22
40%.
39:23
Bear
39:23
in
39:23
mind
39:24
this
39:24
is
39:24
an
39:24
aggregate
39:25

39:25
of
39:25
the

or
39:30
higher,
39:31
the
39:31
site's
39:31
consensus
39:32
reads.
39:32
Cutthroat
39:33

39:33
may
39:34
aspire
39:34
towards
39:34
the
39:35
earnest
39:35
thrills
39:35
of
39:35
classic
39:36
swashbucklers,
39:37
but
39:37
a
39:37
distinct
39:38
lack
39:38
of
39:38
charm
39:39
and
39:39
stilted
39:40
script
39:40
make
39:41
this
39:41
adventure
39:41
a
39:41
joyless
39:42
hodgepodge
39:43
of
39:43
the
39:43
pirate
39:44
genres
39:44
flotsam
39:45
and
39:45
Jetsam.
39:46
Roger
39:46
Ebert
39:47
liked
39:47
the
39:48
movie
39:48
and
39:48
gave
39:48
it
39:48
a
39:49
three
39:49
out
39:49
of
39:49
four
39:49
stars,
39:50
saying,
39:51
this
39:51
is
39:52
in
39:52
short,
39:52
a
39:53
satisfactory
39:54
movie,
39:54
but
39:54
it
39:55
doesn't
39:55
transcend
39:55
its
39:56
genre
39:56
and
39:56
it's
39:57
not
39:57
surprising
39:57
or
39:58
astonishing.
39:59
I
39:59
saw
39:59
it
39:59
because
40:00
that
40:00
was
40:00
my
40:00
job
40:01
and
40:01
having
40:01
seen
40:02
it,
40:02
I
40:02
grant
40:03
it
40:03
skill
40:03
and
40:04
award
40:04
it
40:04
three
40:04
stars
40:05
on
40:05
that
40:05
basis.
40:06
But
40:06
unless
40:07
you're
40:07
really
40:07
into
40:08
pirate
40:08
movies,
40:09
it's
40:09
not
40:09
a
40:10
necessary
40:10
film.
40:11
Is
40:12
that
40:12
a
40:12
compliment
40:13
or?
40:14
Cutthroat
40:15
Island
40:15
did
40:15
receive
40:16
a
40:16
Razzie
40:17
Award
40:17
nomination
40:18
for
40:18
Worst
40:19
Director
40:20
for
40:20
Renny
40:20
Harlin.
40:21
He
40:21
did
40:22
not
40:22
win.
40:22
It's
40:23
unfortunate.
40:23
Out
40:23
of
40:24
6
40:24
worst
40:25
director
40:25
Golden
40:26
Raspberry
40:26
Award
40:27
nominations,
40:28
he's
40:28
never
40:29
had
40:29
the
40:29
privilege
40:29
of
40:30
winning
40:30
for
40:30
anything.
40:31
So
40:32
he
40:32
was
40:32
nominated
40:33
in
40:33
1991
40:34
for
40:34
the
40:34
Adventures
40:34
of
40:35
Ford
40:35
Farlane,
40:36
in
40:36
1996
40:37
for
40:37
Cutthroat
40:38

40:39
in
40:39
2002
40:40
for
40:40

40:41
in

2005
40:42
for

40:42
the
40:43

40:43
in
40:44
2015
40:44
for
40:44
the
40:45
Legend
40:45
of
40:45
Hercules
40:46
and
40:46
in
40:46
2022
40:47
for
40:47
the
40:47
Misfits.
40:49
Six
40:49
nominations
40:50
and
40:50
no
40:51
wins
40:51
for
40:52
Renny
40:52
Harlin
40:52
for
40:53
Worst
40:53
Director.
40:54
I'm
40:54
sure
40:54
he's
40:54
very
40:55
upset
40:55
about
40:55
that.
40:56
Of
40:56
course,
40:57
there
40:57
were
40:57
no
40:58
sequels
40:58
to
40:58
Cutthroat
40:59
island
40:59
and
41:00
there
41:00
probably
41:00
never
41:00
will
41:01
be.
41:01
And
41:02
unsurprisingly,
41:03
no
41:03
remakes
41:03
of
41:04
Cutthroat
41:04
island
41:05
and
41:05
there
41:05
probably
41:06
never
41:06
will
41:06
be.
41:08
And
41:08
so
41:08
that's
41:09
the
41:09
story
41:09
of
41:09
Cutthroat
41:10
island
41:10
and
41:11
that
41:11
was
41:11
the
41:12
end
41:12
of
41:12
Carolco.
41:13
Sort
41:13
of.
41:15
The
41:15
studio
41:15
that
41:16
had
41:16
produced
41:16
hits
41:17
like
41:17
Terminator
41:17
2,
41:18
Basic
41:18
Instinct
41:19
and
41:19
Total
41:19
Recall
41:20
was
41:20
completely
41:21
destroyed
41:22
by
41:22
the
41:22
financial
41:23
losses.
41:24
Two
41:24
months
41:24
after
41:24
Showgirls,
41:25
which
41:26
they
41:26
sold
41:26
off
41:26
in
41:27
pre
41:27
production
41:27
to
41:27
United
41:28
Artists
41:28
and
41:28
Pathe,
41:29
and
41:30
one
41:30
month
41:30
after
41:30
Cutthroat
41:31
Island,
41:32
Korolco
41:32
was
41:33
over.
41:34
But
41:34
Carolco's
41:35
demise
41:35
was
41:36
never
41:36
down
41:36
to
41:37
Cutthroat
41:37
Island.
41:38
Cutthroat
41:38
island
41:39
was
41:39
the
41:39
patsy.
41:40
Carolco
41:41
was
41:41
doomed
41:41
years
41:42
before
41:42
Cutthroat
41:43
island,
41:43
and
41:43
it
41:44
feels
41:44
vastly
41:45
unfair
41:45
to
41:45
shift
41:45
the
41:46
blame
41:46
for
41:47
the
41:47
financial
41:47
decisions
41:48
made
41:48
by
41:48
Korolko's
41:49
management
41:50
to
41:50
a
41:50
movie
41:51
that
41:51
didn't
41:52
ask
41:52
to
41:52
get
41:52
made,
41:53
don't
41:53
blame
41:54
the
41:54
child
41:54
for
41:55
the
41:55
decisions
41:55
of
41:55
the
41:56
parent,
41:56
etc.
41:58
Cutthroat
41:58
island
41:59
was
41:59
wildly
41:59
ambitious
42:00
and
42:00
tried
42:00
to
42:01
give
42:01
us
42:01
something
42:02
we're
42:02
always
42:02
asking
42:03
for
42:04
something
42:04
new,
42:05
something
42:05
different.
42:06
But
42:07
just
42:07
like
42:07
every
42:07
other
42:08
female
42:08
headlined
42:09
action
42:09
movie,
42:10
they
42:10
always
42:11
have
42:11
to
42:11
prove
42:11
something
42:12
else.
42:13
They'll
42:13
forever
42:13
be
42:13
deemed
42:14
a
42:14
failure
42:15
and
42:16
must
42:17
also
42:17
prove
42:17
something.
42:18
Even
42:19
after
42:19
years
42:19
of
42:20
female
42:20
led
42:20
action
42:20
blockbusters
42:21
like
42:22
Kill
42:22
Bill,
42:23
Charlie's
42:23
Angels,
42:24
Atomic
42:24
Blonde,
42:24
the
42:25
Hunger
42:25
Games,
42:26
Lucy,
42:26
Star
42:27
Wars,
42:27
Episode
42:27
7,
42:28
the
42:28
Force
42:28
Awakens,
42:29
Wonder
42:29
Woman
42:30
and
42:30
Captain
42:30
Marvel,
42:31
there
42:31
still
42:31
exists
42:32
in
42:32
Hollywood
42:33
this
42:33
idea
42:33
that
42:34
every
42:34
big
42:34
female
42:35
led
42:35
movie
42:36
is
42:36
it
42:37
just
42:37
here
42:37
to
42:37
test
42:38
the
42:38
box
42:39
office
42:39
credibility
42:40
of
42:41
movies
42:41
by,
42:42
for,
42:42
from
42:43
and
42:43
featuring
42:43
women.
42:44
And
42:45
every
42:45
time
42:45
one
42:45
of
42:46
those
42:46
movies
42:46
underperforms
42:47
in
42:47
any
42:48
way,
42:49
they
42:49
cite
42:49
Catwoman,
42:50
Aeon
42:50
Flux,
42:51
Barb
42:51
Wire
42:52
and
42:52
Ultraviolet.
42:53
Because
42:54
a
42:54
male
42:54
led
42:54
action
42:55
movie
42:55
is
42:55
allowed
42:56
to
42:56
underperform,
42:57
but
42:57
a
42:57
female
42:58
led
42:58
one
42:58
just
42:59
isn't.
43:00
And
43:00
those
43:00
that
43:01
succeed
43:01
are
43:01
quickly
43:02
forgotten
43:02
about
43:02
as
43:03
soon
43:03
as
43:03
one
43:03
does.
43:04
Bomb
43:05
it
43:05
is
43:05
a
43:05
heinous
43:06
double
43:06
standard
43:07
that's
43:07
getting
43:08
better
43:08
over
43:08
time,
43:09
but
43:09
it's
43:10
still
43:10
not
43:10
great.
43:11
As
43:11
with
43:12
many
43:12
movies
43:12
that
43:12
end
43:13
up
43:13
box
43:13
office
43:13
bombs,
43:14
it's
43:14
often
43:15
not
43:15
the
43:15
movie
43:15
itself
43:16
that's
43:16
the
43:16
problem,
43:17
but
43:17
the
43:17
politics
43:18
behind
43:18
the
43:18
scene.
43:19
I'm
43:19
going
43:19
to
43:19
say
43:19
it
43:20
again
43:20
for
43:20
the
43:20
people
43:20
in
43:21
the
43:21
back.
43:21
Cutthroat
43:22
island
43:22
is
43:23
not
43:23
a
43:23
bad
43:23
movie.
43:24
It
43:24
has
43:25
some
43:25
severe
43:26
scripting
43:26
character
43:27
problems,
43:28
but
43:28
it
43:28
looks
43:29
gorgeous
43:29
in
43:29
parts,
43:30
the
43:30
stunts
43:31
and
43:31
practical
43:31
effects
43:32
are
43:32
incredible,
43:33
and
43:33
it
43:33
shines
43:33
most
43:34
when
43:34
it's
43:34
just
43:34
allowed
43:35
to
43:35
exist
43:36
without
43:36
the
43:36
talking.
43:37
And
43:37
again,
43:38
I
43:38
mean
43:38
that
43:38
with
43:38
the
43:39
utmost
43:39
respect
43:39
to
43:39
these
43:40
actors,
43:40
but
43:40
with
43:41
the
43:41
exception
43:41
of
43:41
Franklin
43:42
Geller,
43:42
who's
43:43
clearly
43:43
relishing
43:44
every
43:44
moment
43:44
on
43:44
screen,
43:45
everyone
43:46
else
43:46
is
43:46
kind
43:46
of
43:46
struggling.
43:47
Geena
43:48
Davis
43:48
gives
43:48
it
43:49
some
43:49
real
43:49
gusto,
43:50
but
43:50
she's
43:51
never
43:51
really
43:51
allowed
43:52
to
43:52
truly
43:52
embrace
43:53
being
43:53
a
43:53
pirate.
43:54
Presumably
43:54
because
43:55
she
43:55
was
43:55
worried
43:56
about
43:56
her
43:56
image.
43:57
Cutthroat
43:58
island
43:58
was
43:58
automatically
43:59
the
43:59
poster
44:00
child
44:00
for
44:00
women
44:01
can't
44:01
lead
44:02
action
44:02
movies
44:03
as
44:03
well
44:03
as
44:03
pirate
44:04
movies
44:04
of
44:04
box
44:05
office
44:05
poison.
44:06
And
44:06
yet
44:06
we
44:07
know
44:07
both
44:07
aren't
44:08
true.
44:08
So
44:09
why
44:09
does
44:09
Cutthroat
44:10
island
44:10
still
44:10
retain
44:11
this
44:11
unfortunate
44:12
label?
44:12
And
44:13
this
44:13
is
44:13
where
44:13
I
44:13
think
44:14
the
44:14
tides
44:14
are
44:15
finally
44:15
turning.
44:16
When
44:17
the
44:17
movie
44:17
bombed,
44:18
it
44:18
was
44:18
the
44:19
nail
44:19
in
44:19
the
44:19
coffin
44:19
for
44:20
pirate
44:20
movies
44:21
until
44:22
despite
44:22
being
44:22
reminded
44:23
of
44:23
Cutthroat
44:24
Island's
44:24
failure,
44:25
Disney
44:25
produced
44:26
2003's
44:27
Pirates
44:27
of
44:27
the
44:28
the
44:28
Curse
44:28
of
44:28
the
44:29
Black
44:29
Pearl,
44:29
which
44:30
is
44:30
a
44:30
terrific
44:30
movie.
44:31
It
44:31
still
44:32
holds
44:32
up
44:32
today
44:33
and
44:33
has
44:33
produced
44:34
several
44:34
sequels
44:35
of
44:35
varying
44:35
quality.
44:36
Cutthroat
44:37
island
44:37
was
44:37
a
44:38
cautionary
44:38
tale
44:39
of
44:39
don't
44:39
do
44:40
it
44:40
this
44:40
way
44:40
rather
44:41
than
44:41
any
44:41
other
44:42
form
44:42
of
44:42
inspiration.
44:43
Making
44:43
Elizabeth
44:44
a
44:44
pirate
44:45
by
44:45
necessity
44:46
rather
44:46
than
44:46
starting
44:47
her
44:47
out
44:47
as
44:48
one,
44:48
as
44:48
well
44:49
as
44:49
Disney
44:49
having
44:49
full
44:50
and
44:50
complete
44:50
financial
44:51
backing
44:51
before
44:52
attempting
44:52
to
44:52
make
44:52
a
44:53
costly
44:53
disaster
44:54
like
44:54
Carolco
44:55
did.
44:56
And
44:56
I
44:56
still
44:56
maintain
44:57
this
44:58
is
44:58
a
44:58
fun
44:58
movie.
44:59
If
44:59
they'd
44:59
attempted
45:00
to
45:00
write
45:00
Morgan
45:01
Adams
45:01
with
45:01
a
45:01
bit
45:01
more
45:02
personality,
45:03
Geena
45:03
Davis
45:04
career
45:04
trajectory
45:05
may
45:05
have
45:05
been
45:06
different.
45:07
Her
45:07
attempt
45:07
to
45:08
break
45:08
into
45:08
action
45:09
movies
45:09
was
45:09
ambitious
45:10
but
45:10
risky.
45:11
Who's
45:11
to
45:12
say
45:12
if
45:12
it
45:12
would
45:12
have
45:12
been
45:12
better
45:12
with
45:13
Michael
45:13
Douglas?
45:14
But
45:14
the
45:14
chemistry
45:14
between
45:15
Davis
45:15
and
45:15
Matthew
45:16
Modine
45:16
is
45:17
non
45:17
existent.
45:18
No
45:18
one
45:19
is
45:19
well
45:19
written
45:19
in
45:20
this
45:20
movie
45:20
because
45:21
this
45:21
is
45:21
a
45:21
bad
45:21
script.
45:23
Even
45:23
when
45:24
she
45:24
and
45:24
Harlin
45:25
tried
45:25
again
45:25
with
45:25
the
45:25
Long
45:26
Kiss
45:26
Good
45:26
Night
45:26
the
45:27
year
45:27
later.
45:27
While
45:28
it
45:28
managed
45:28
to
45:28
become
45:28
a
45:29
moderate
45:29
success,
45:30
the
45:30
spirit
45:30
of
45:31
Cutthroat
45:31
island
45:31
haunted
45:32
Davis
45:32
for
45:33
years
45:33
afterwards.
45:34
Even
45:34
Harlin
45:35
only
45:35
really
45:36
had
45:36
one
45:36
big
45:37
success
45:37
after
45:37
this,
45:38
and
45:38
that
45:38
was
45:39
Deep
45:39
Blue
45:39
Sea
45:39
in
45:40
1999.
45:41
Matthew
45:41
Modine
45:42
also
45:42
struggled
45:43
after
45:43
this
45:43
movie,
45:44
although
45:44
he
45:44
then
45:44
got
45:45
a
45:45
prime
45:45
role
45:45
in
45:45
Stranger
45:46
Things,
45:46
so
45:46
he's
45:46
doing
45:47
okay
45:47
from
45:47
it.
45:48
Geena
45:48
Davis
45:49
now
45:49
chairs
45:49
the
45:49
Geena
45:50
Davis
45:50
Institute,
45:51
which
45:51
provides
45:52
research,
45:52
direct
45:53
guidance
45:54
and
45:54
thought
45:54
leadership
45:55
aimed
45:55
at
45:55
increasing
45:56
representation
45:57
of
45:57
marginalized
45:58
groups
45:58
within
45:58
six
45:59
identities
46:00
gender,
46:00
race
46:01
and
46:01
ethnicity,
46:02
lgbtqia,
46:04
disability,
46:05
age
46:05
and
46:06
body
46:06
type.
46:07
We
46:07
love
46:07
Geena
46:07
Davis
46:08
and
46:08
we
46:09
love
46:09
Cutthroat
46:09
Island.
46:11
So
46:11
where
46:11
is
46:11
Carolco
46:12
now?
46:12
Well,
46:13
after
46:13
filing
46:13
for
46:13
bankruptcy,
46:14
Carolco
46:15
sold
46:15
its
46:15
assets
46:15
to
46:16
CanalPlus
46:17
for
46:17
$58
46:17
million
46:18
in
46:18
1996.
46:20
Today,
46:20
the
46:21
ancillary
46:21
rights
46:22
to
46:22
Carolco's
46:23
library
46:23
up
46:23
to

1995
46:25
are
46:25
held

46:36
company
46:36
would
46:37
produce
46:37
Terminator
46:38
3,
46:38
Rise
46:38
of
46:38
the
46:38
Machines
46:39
and
46:39
Basic
46:40
Instinct
46:40
2,
46:41
neither
46:41
of
46:41
which
46:42
were
46:42
brilliant
46:43
financial
46:43
successes.
46:45
Film
46:45
producer
46:45
Alexander
46:46
Baither
46:47
purchased
46:47
the
46:47
Carolco
46:48
name
46:48
and
46:48
logo
46:49
and
46:49
on
46:49
the
46:49
20th
46:50
of
46:50
January
46:50
2015
46:51
he
46:52
renamed
46:52
his
46:53
production
46:53
company
46:54
Bricktop
46:55
Productions
46:56
to
46:56
Carolco
46:57
Pictures.
46:58
He
46:58
then
46:58
recruited
46:59
Mario
46:59
Kassar
47:00
as
47:00
the
47:00
chief
47:00
development
47:01
executive
47:02
of
47:02
the
47:02
new
47:02
Carolco.
47:03
But
47:04
in
47:04
2017,
47:05
Studio
47:06
Canal
47:06
filed
47:07
a
47:07
legal
47:07
dispute
47:08
over
47:08
the
47:08
Carolco
47:09
brand.
47:10
Studio
47:10
Canal
47:11
and
47:11
the
47:11
new
47:11
Corelco
47:12
reached
47:13
an
47:13
agreement
47:13
whereby
47:14
Studio
47:14
Canal
47:15
would
47:15
have
47:15
sole
47:15
control
47:16
of
47:16
the
47:16
Carolco
47:17
name
47:17
and
47:17
logo,
47:18
and
47:18
the
47:18
Carolco
47:19
Pictures
47:19
company
47:20
would
47:20
be
47:21
renamed
47:21
Recall
47:22
Studios.
47:23
So
47:24
Carolco
47:25
is
47:25
pretty
47:25
much
47:26
still
47:26
dead,
47:27
but
47:27
Cutthroat
47:28
island
47:28
is
47:28
not.
47:29
And
47:29
as
47:30
I
47:30
said,
47:30
the
47:30
tide
47:30
is
47:31
seemingly
47:31
turning
47:31
for
47:32
Cutthroat
47:32
Island.
47:33
After
47:33
30
47:34
years
47:34
of
47:34
critical
47:35
bashing
47:35
and
47:36
blame
47:36
for
47:36
sinking
47:37
a
47:37
studio,
47:38
people
47:38
are
47:39
re
47:39
evaluating
47:39
this
47:40
movie
47:40
and
47:41
giving
47:41
it
47:41
its
47:41
dues.
47:42
It
47:43
recently
47:43
had
47:43
a
47:44
4K
47:44
UHD
47:45
steelbook
47:46
release,
47:46
and
47:47
the
47:47
fact
47:47
is,
47:47
getting
47:48
a
47:48
premium
47:48
4K
47:49
UHD
47:50
release
47:50
suggests
47:51
that
47:51
there's
47:51
enough
47:51
of
47:52
a
47:52
fan
47:52
base
47:53
to
47:53
justify
47:54
that
47:54
release.
47:56
Simply
47:56
put,
47:56
Cutthroat
47:57
island
47:57
is
47:57
a
47:57
well
47:58
crafted
47:58
adventure
47:59
film
47:59
that
48:00
was
48:00
unfairly
48:00
dismissed
48:01
due
48:01
to
48:01
its
48:02
commercial
48:02
circumstances
48:03
rather
48:04
than
48:04
its
48:04
actual
48:05
quality.
48:05
It's
48:06
a
48:06
swashbuckling
48:07
pirate
48:07
flick
48:08
in
48:08
the
48:08
finest
48:09
tradition,
48:09
full
48:09
of
48:09
fighting
48:10
and
48:10
brawling,
48:11
epic
48:12
stunts
48:12
and
48:12
explosions,
48:13
swords
48:14
and
48:14
cannons,
48:15
huge,
48:15
elaborately
48:16
detailed
48:17
ships
48:17
and
48:18
gorgeous
48:18
ocean
48:18
vistas.
48:19
It's
48:20
time
48:20
to
48:20
reconsider
48:21
it.
48:22
It's
48:22
time
48:22
to
48:22
re
48:22
evaluate
48:23
it.
48:23
And
48:24
honestly,
48:24
it's
48:25
time
48:25
it
48:25
got
48:25
the
48:25
love
48:26
it
48:26
deserves.
48:27
If
48:27
Showgirls
48:28
can
48:28
become
48:28
a
48:28
cult
48:28
classic
48:29
re
48:29
evaluated
48:30
and
48:30
adored
48:31
by
48:31
its
48:31
fans,
48:32
so
48:32
can
48:33
Cutthroat
48:33
Island.
48:34
It's
48:35
a
48:35
movie
48:35
that
48:35
was
48:35
destined
48:36
to
48:36
fail.
48:37
And
48:37
yet
48:37
it's
48:38
no
48:38
failure.
48:39
Not
48:39
to
48:39
this
48:40
podcast.
48:41
To
48:41
me,
48:41
this
48:42
movie
48:42
is
48:42
a
48:43
dream.
48:43
Don't
48:44
be
48:44
a
48:44
bad
48:44
dog.
48:45
It's
48:45
been
48:46
30
48:46
years.
48:46
It's
48:47
time
48:47
to
48:47
give
48:47
this
48:47
movie
48:48
a
48:48
chance.
48:49
Drink

48:50

helps
49:16
with

visibility

49:30
It

would

be
49:31
a

huge
49:31
help

in

some

49:35
And
49:35
if
49:35
you
49:35
like
49:36
this
49:36
episode
49:36
on
49:36
Cutthroat
49:37
island,
49:37
you

might
49:37
Also
49:38
like

43,
49:40
A

Their
49:41
Own.
49:41
It
49:41
is
49:41
genuinely
49:42
the
49:42
best
49:43
sports
49:43
movie
49:44
ever.
49:45
And

49:46
the

is
49:54
also
49:54
a
49:54
really
49:54
fun
49:55
movie.
49:56
Rennie
49:56
Harlin
49:57
really
49:57
loves
49:58
his
49:58
explosions,
49:58
man.
49:59
If
49:59
you've
50:00
not
50:00
seen
50:00
the
50:00
Long
50:01
Kiss
50:01
Good
50:01
Night,
50:02
please
50:02

a
50:04
listen
50:04
to
50:04
that
50:05
episode
50:06
and
50:06
as
50:06
always,
50:06
give
50:06
me
50:07
feedback
50:07
on
50:07
my
50:07
recommendations.
50:08
Let
50:08
me
50:08
know
50:09
what
50:09
you
50:09
think.
50:10
So
50:11
the
50:11
next
50:11
episode
50:12
actually
50:12
has
50:12
a
50:12
link
50:13
to
50:13
this
50:13
one
50:13
that
50:13
I
50:14
was
50:14
not
50:14
aware
50:14
of
50:15
until
50:16
I
50:16
started
50:17
looking
50:17
into
50:17
it
50:18
a
50:18
little
50:18
bit.
50:19
Because
50:19
in
50:19
1989
50:20
Andrew
50:21
G.
50:21
Vajna
50:22
sold
50:22
his
50:22
interest
50:22
in
50:23
Carolco
50:24
and
50:24
he
50:24
founded
50:25
Cinergi
50:25
Pictures.
50:27
Now
50:27
Cinergi
50:28
would
50:28
have
50:28
their
50:28
fair
50:28
share
50:29
of
50:29
box
50:29
office
50:29
bombs.
50:30
They
50:30
would
50:30
go
50:31
on
50:31
to
50:31
dissolve
50:31
in
50:31
1998,
50:32
but
50:33
they
50:33
also
50:33
had
50:34
their
50:34
fair
50:34
share
50:34
of
50:34
hits
50:35
including
50:36
Die
50:36
Hard
50:36
With
50:37
a
50:37
Vengeance,
50:37
Evita
50:39
and
50:39
the
50:39
Next
50:40
Episode.
50:42
Just
50:42
like
50:42
the
50:42
pirate
50:43
genre,
50:44
Westerns
50:44
were
50:44
most
50:45
popular
50:45
during
50:46
the
50:46
golden
50:47
age
50:47
of
50:47
Westerns,
50:48
the
50:48
40s
50:48
to
50:48
the
50:49
60s,
50:49
with
50:50
spaghetti
50:50
Westerns
50:51
popular
50:51
in
50:52
the
50:52
70s.
50:53
But
50:53
the
50:53
90s
50:54
also
50:54
led
50:54
to
50:54
a
50:55
resurgence
50:55
of
50:56
the
50:56
Western,
50:57
with
50:57
Tombstone
50:58
one
50:59
of
50:59
the
50:59
most
50:59
successful
51:00
both
51:00
critically
51:01
and
51:01
and
51:01
commercially.
51:03
But
51:03
it's
51:03
also
51:03
got
51:04
a
51:04
really
51:04
interesting
51:05
story
51:05
behind
51:06
the
51:06
scenes
51:06
too.
51:07
So
51:08
let's
51:08
look
51:09
into
51:09
the
51:09
history
51:09
and
51:10
legacy
51:10
of
51:10

thank

you
52:45
so
52:45
much
52:45
to
52:45
the
52:45
people

who
52:46
have
52:46

52:47
I
52:48
really
52:48
love
52:48
to
52:49
hear
52:49
from
52:49
you,
52:50
so
52:50
feel
52:50
free
52:51
to
52:51
get
52:51
in
52:51
touch,
52:51
whether
52:52
that's
52:52
on
52:52
the
52:52
website
52:53
or
52:53
by
52:53
email
52:54
or
52:54
on
52:54
social
52:54
media,
52:55
too.
52:56
And
52:57
finally.
52:57
What
52:58
do
52:58
you
52:58
got
52:58
there?
52:59
Treasure.
53:00
Bags
53:01
of
53:01
it.
53:02
Be
53:02
careful
53:02
what
53:03
you
53:03
do.
53:03
You
53:03
can
53:04
lose
53:04
a
53:04
lot.
53:05
Put
53:05
a
53:05
ball
53:06
between
53:06
his
53:06
eyes.
53:06
No,
53:07
no.
53:09
My
53:10
head.
53:10
It's
53:11
about
53:11
£4
53:11
million
53:12
now.
53:13
Wait,
53:14
that's
53:14
a
53:14
guess.
53:15
But
53:15
I
53:15
can't
53:15
be
53:15
off
53:15
by
53:16
more
53:16
than
53:16
a
53:16
million
53:16
pounds
53:17
or
53:17
so.
53:17
Cut
53:18
the
53:18
rope,
53:18
William.
53:18
Get
53:19
away.
53:20
William.
53:21
Let's
53:22
make
53:22
a
53:22
deal.
53:22
I
53:23
can
53:23
be
53:23
reasonable.
53:24
Send
53:24
Morgan
53:25
down.
53:26
I'll
53:26
send
53:26
the
53:26
treasure
53:27
up
53:27
and
53:27
we'll
53:27
both
53:28
have
53:28
what
53:28
we
53:28
want.
53:29
All
53:29
right,
53:30
William,
53:31
we
53:31
have
53:31
a
53:32
deal.
53:33
Here
53:33
she
53:33
comes.
53:51
I
53:51
wish
53:51
I'd
53:51
never
53:52
learned
53:52
Latin.
53:54
We
53:54
have
53:54
both.
53:55
Hold
53:55
them
53:55
in.
53:57
Don't
53:57
watch
53:58
me
53:58
fall.
53:59
I'm
54:00
coming
54:00
with
54:00
you.
54:01
Don't
54:01
be
54:01
mad.
54:01
Why?
54:02
Don't
54:02
argue.
54:03
Let's
54:03
agree
54:04
upon
54:04
something
54:04
for
54:04
once.
54:06
Thank
54:06
you.
54:07
On
54:07
account
54:07
of
54:07
three,
54:07
then.
54:10
Come
54:10
to
54:10
me.
54:11
Morgan.
54:13
Wait.
54:13
One
54:14
more
54:14
thing.
54:14
What?
54:15
Considering
54:15
everything,
54:16
I
54:17
really
54:17
think
54:17
that
54:17
from
54:17
now
54:17
on
54:18
we
54:18
should
54:18
be
54:19
partners.
54:19
Full
54:20
partners.
54:20
What
54:20
do
54:21
you
54:21
say?
54:25
60?
54:26
40?
54:26
50.
54:27
50.
54:28
Pool
54:28
partners.
54:30
Very
54:31
well.
54:31
They
54:31
have
54:31
a
54:32
lot
54:32
to
54:32
say
54:32
to
54:32
each
54:32
other,
54:33
don't
54:33
they?
54:35
Are
54:35
you
54:35
ready
54:35
now?
54:36
Ready.
54:38
One.
54:41
Two.
54:46
Now.
55:00
Love.
55:02
Who
55:02
can
55:02
explain
55:03
it?
55:03
Bye.
