He's also in it. Plays one of the members of the People's front of Judea
Best ever movie ending so far.
Always look on the bright side of life.
tudu tudutudutudu
this movie is hilarious but i somehow fell asleep before the ending 3 seperate times and i still dont know how it ends
Just wait until this guy falls asleep while watching Clue, and lets see his confusion after that crazyness!
It can never be as confusing as immediately after it was released. Three different endings had everyone arguing over what happened. Best troll by a director, ever.
Yes......that was the joke.
I assumed you were making a joke about the three endings the way they are presented when you watch it now, not how they were originally presented since you said falling asleep would confuse them. The original way was each theater had a different ending play which made people argue.
IIRC he took a second mortgage on his house to fund it. He also has a cameo in the movie.
Harrison and Eric Idle were good friends, and Harrison even appeared in Eric Idles Beatles parody movie.
I'm not a Beatles fan, but George Harrison was a genius and a hell of an artist. I really wish he were still with us.
He helped out with Withnail & I too.
