When we talk about crazy directors, there is Copolla, Friedkin, Kubrick and there is Herzog. His whole persona is just amazing and my god, his voice and accent. You have to be a crazy director, when you work 5x times with Klaus Kinski, voluntarily. Pure madness.
The moment i lost respect for herzog was when i learned what kinskis’s “abusive behavior” was in peru. He raped kids. And herzog knew. And this wasn’t the only time he did it while filming another film too. I get wanting to capture genuine madness amd brutality… and some art is arguably worth the real violence needed to make it, but NO art is worth the rape of children.
Yeah, it's no wonder that even his immediate family didn't like Kinski. His son was the only one to attend his funeral. I wasn't aware of the other children, but I do know his daughter accused him of such. From what I've read, he was just a genuine terror to people on set (shooting at them, for example).
Where did you find this information, I can't seem to find any articles or anything talking about it. I do know of the allegations from Kinski's daughters though.
If you ever make a part two of this you have to include Henri-George's Clouzot. Among many instances of abuse to actors the most infamous thing he did was nearly killing Bridget Bardot. In the 1960 film "The Truth" he wanted a realistic scene of somebody overdosing on sleeping pills so he actually got real sleeping pills and told Bardot that they were aspirin. This caused Bardot to have to be hospitalized and have her stomach pumped. Others you should include: Norman Mailer and Rip Torn fight on the set of Maidstone. Quentin Tarintino and Lawrence Tierney on the set of Reservoir Dogs. Otto Preminger and Robert Mitchum on the set of Angel Face.
Michael Ritchie, the New York based filmmaker who was best known for producing and directing 1969's Downhill Racer, 1972's The Candidate, 1975's Smile, 1976's The Bad News Bears, 1977's Semi-Tough, 1979's An Almost Perfect Affair and 1980's Divine Madness were successful hits. But he got into some serious fights with 1980's The Island, 1984's The Survivors and 1994's Cops & Robbersons with studio heads and executives. After that, he would never with them again. Sadly, Michael Ritchie has died of cancer at his home in New York in 2002.😥
I should probably do a video that's just about the fights that Rip Torn or Norman Mailer got into over their lives. This one, as far as I'm aware, was strictly on the screen (improvised, but recorded) and not necessarily as a result of bad blood between the two offscreen, which is the main reason I decided to forego it in this video. But it is wild.
@@Syntopikon makes sense why you omitted it, it really should feature in another vid sometime tho as it is a crazy moment which not many people seem to know about. enjoyed the vid, keep up the good work!
You're definitely right. Years later, when blacklisted producer/director Martin Ritt got into serious fights on many of his pictures, including Cross Creek for Lionsgate/StudioCanal which marked one of his next-to-last projects before he died in 1990. The 1983 big budget film was nominated for four Academy Awards including both for Rip Torn and Alfre Woodard in their only Oscar nominated supporting roles in 1984.
To say Marlon Brando was not a major problem on the set of The Island of Dr. Moreau is not very accurate. He insisted his character should wear an Ice bucket on his head just to annoy the director. Stories from the set tell a contest to whom was the biggest asshole with Kilmer and Brando.
I have no idea why anyone would put up with any of these psychos. No, you don't need Klaus Kinski to play a crazy guy. You can get another actor to pretend to be a crazy guy. That's the whole point of acting! (And another commenter here mentioned that Kinski was raping kids in Peru and Herzog knew and did nothing. WTF!) I don't understand why Marlon Brando was considered such a big deal. I'm not referring to the subject of this video, but people gushing about what a great actor he was. I just don't get it. I did hear one actor (it might've been Christopher Reeve) say he was the worlds most overrated actor, and I agree 100%. Brando's performance was not worth what he was paid nor putting up with any of his crap.
In Kinski's case, I think it was Herzog remembering this guy that wanted to be an actor and figuring he was the only one insane enough to play the parts without it coming across as contrived. I think it was more the legend and aura of Marlon Brando more than anything else. He helped popularize the Method style of acting and he had played a role in several important films over a long, long career. There was a sense of mythology built up around him, and people just wanted to work with him - maybe for the sake of saying they worked with him. I know John Frankenheimer supposedly took on the role of directing Moreau in part because he wanted a chance to work with Brando. Studios also thought that "Hey, if we put Brando in this movie, surely people will come out in droves to see him, right?"
I have never watched any of Polanski's movies because of what he did to that girl. I've heard that they're good, but there are so many other things to watch made by people that didn't abuse kids.
Individuals like Kinsky should never be tolerated at that level. No one is famous, talented or important enough to be tolerated at that level. What a vile individual.
David O'Russel might just be the biggest c word in cinematic history
You can find him having an on set meltdown with one of his actresses on youtube. That man has a genuine temper problem.
Yup. You know its bad when there's a Wiki section that's dedicated to how much of an asshole you are.
@Syntopikon lmao you're absolutely correct sir
His next movie is a biopic on Linda Ronstadt. I feel sorry for Selena Gomez

watch maidstone with rip torn, he attacks norman mailer with a hammer, mailer proceeds to bite a chunk out of his ear, absolutely shocking stuff.

Harland Williams and Richard Stanley are the same person
Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
@@courtneyvaldez7903 In my own opinion: No.
I watched The Island of dr Moreau out of curiosity prepared for a total disaster but the movie wasn't half as bad as I thought it'd have been
Very entertaining video. Do you happen to be related to Bernie Sanders by any chance?
Not that I'm aware of 🤔
I'm not sure about this, Joseph. Sorry.

Is this a robot narration?
Just how I talk 😬
Rian johnson and everybody else on that one...
If david o Russell was black he wouldve been kicked out of Hollywood already
There’s plenty of Black creators who are problematic.
Where’s Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell?
They don't have a dysfunctional hate toward each other. They're friends.

I didn't realize how bad Kilmar was.
Yup. He's had a longstanding reputation of being difficult to work with.
