dude but you also like have legendary roles like highlander which i know you talk about ad nauseam and like starship troopers and like i mean these movies when you do them i mean obviously when you're working with sean connery and highlander you're like sean connery's and it's gonna be a big movie right you thought that yeah that movie is a complete accident yeah i don't know if you i don't know if you know anything about that movie i know but the guy the guy that wrote it greg wyden he was a he was a college kid he was i think he was an undergrad you know usc or ucla or wherever the hell he was and that was his he wrote this script as his final for some cinema script writing class that he did and uh and then these uh these these buzzards these scavengers uh that were the producers as these two guys whose i won't mention their names they they sort of like take over they sort of pick over these things and they go in and they snag a script that's you know maybe won an award or or you know got an a or whatever it is and they and they pay the guy you know five hundred dollars just five hundred dollars for your script area and then they then they go and they pitch it to the wherever they had the deal and uh and i think they said they would pay you know they paid him a couple thousand bucks and a portion of the of the budget if if uh you know a percentage of the budget if it gets if it gets made if it gets picked up and made and that's because yeah and they're low budget guys so they you know they're thinking they're going to pay them maybe another 10 grand or something so then uh they as these producers do they just go out to big stars anyway you know they expecting to get turned down and so they went to they went to sean connery and said hey we want you to play the highlander i don't even think they even read the script they just said you know highlander that's a scottish man so let's go to the big scottish scott movie star so they sent it to him and he said no he said no i'm not interested in doing that but i would be interested in playing ramirez and so suddenly they had interest from sean connery and the budget goes up and then they said well if we can get him to play ramirez let's let's go get you know let's get somebody to who we're going to get to play the highlander and then you know they start casting around somebody says well you know you should send it out to this uh this young french actor who just won the cesar for his role in subway and you know he's he's a he's a big european star so they sent it out to kristoff and he said oh sean connery's in it i'll do it so it's so then they had the big european star the biggest european star at the time at the time uh the budget goes up yeah the budget goes up again and so then they go out to uh arnold schwarzenegger because he had just done a terminator and they said we're going to get arnold schwarzenegger and the president couldn't go up again arnold schwarzenegger said nah i i i don't want to play a bad guy again i don't want to play that guy i want to play so the budget goes oh down what are we going to do what are we going to do and the director they got they got a director out of australia who had basically made his bones doing music videos named russell mulcahy although he had directed a really terrific horror movie called razorback which is kind of like jaws in the outback in australia and they got him for probably not much money uh but he's but really talented guy and uh and so russell was like hanging out with his music video friends and he talks to he was talking to sting and they're like yeah you know russell said we went out to i don't know who we're gonna get we went out to schwarzenegger he turned us down and things said well i just worked with this big uh this big american bloke named clancy brown on this movie called the bride you know he's he seems like a pretty good actor he's like a pretty good guy i want you to check out him so i met with the he calls up the producer said check out this other guy this clancy bryant guy and i met with those guys i'm like i i think it's a great story yeah i would love to play it but you know how much you're gonna pay me and they don't pay me they don't want to pay me anything and i don't have a quote or anything but rich of anything so they pay me nothing and they're thrilled because they pay me nothing they get their they get their movie made and we go and we make the movie and greg is you know he's this kid out of college who wrote this thing and suddenly he's a millionaire because he gets a percentage of of a real budget and and his career is launched right after this is moving so this random act of yeah we'll give you a couple of thousand dollars second choice if the budget goes up you'll get a percentage it's one in a million it's like winning the lottery you're most likely it's never going to get made you're going to make zero money and the guy becomes a millionaire takes his career off right there's a bunch of people that won the lottery they paid sean a ton of dough and you know i think it made kristoff a big star and uh and he got a lot of money i got nothing i got i got no money oh residuals you got residuals yeah no no didn't get residuals because it was under a basket contract oh my god and you're like a major character i mean come on oh the son of a bees
