What I loved about Exorcist 3 was how William Peter Blatty masterfully worked in some dialogue from the novel of The Exorcist into the third film. There are scenes with Kinderman and Dyer that have dialogue from the first novel that was intended between Kinderman and other characters like Father Karras in the first book, but never made it into the first film. RIP Mr. Blatty. Thank you for writing the novel which inspired the scariest film ever made.
I agree for the R.I.P. and for the novel which inspired the scariest movie ever. For the rest he is just a narcissistic and egocentric piece of shit just like Friedkin. 🤨 This is the reason why David Gordon Green did not want Friedkin to participate in the new EXORCIST project. Ellen Burnstyn and Linda Blair he had no problem with. 🙂
Since the first time they met Friedkin ALWAYS told Blatty that he does not know how to make good movies. He told him in EXORCIST 1 and EXORCIST 3. Blatty only excelled in one thing...comedy. I agree with Friedkin. "The Ninth Configuration" and "Exorcist 3" are very bad. IMO. 🙂
Excellent interview with Blatty. IMO Exorcist III is a wholly excellent film and very under rated. Now I want to find a copy of Blatty's Legion. Koop is also impressive here (who knew? I remember his confirmation hearings were such a horror) and Ed Flanders work was always consummate in any project he was part of. RIP dear gentle Mr. Flanders. A bit of trivia: Jason Miller is the father of Jason Patric (The Lost Boys).
@@armanzahedi1565 LOL, well, after about 6 minutes in and the guttural voice demon 'narration' soundtrack, I may wait until tomorrow afternoon...the creep factor of this film is intense.
@Jason Thompson Wow, wow, wow! What great info. Thank you! She must be very attractive (because IMO Miller and Patric are both extremely so-I'm female, not that it matters really, I guess. I don't remember Gleason much, but the reruns of the Honeymooners (I think? With Art Carney?), anyway, whatever famous series Gleason was in. He terrified me when I was little. To this day I remember how I felt. It's weird, because I have heard that he was actually quite different from the character he played, and a very nice, polished man. Again, thanks! Fun inside info.
I love the relationship between Kinderman and Dyer in this movie! I like everything about this movie, but the banter between these two characters makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. George C. Scott and Ed Flanders both are such genuine actors ( and seem like honestly decent and intelligent people ), I truly believe in their friendship. It's wonderful.☺
I was 8, I think, when the preview for Exorcist 3 was aired on television. The opening scene in the church, when the statue of Jesus opened his eyes- that was IT!! I Flew up the steps to my mother's room! My grandmother had a shit-ton of religious iconography around her house, and after seeing that ad, I swore that all of her pictures of Jesus were following me with their eyes!! Exorcist 3 has since come to be one of my top 10 favorite films.
It's actually the direct sequel to the first novel....to each is own but I wholeheartedly disagree...novel and film wise...but I do agree that Exorcist 3 is an criminally underrated movie.
Ed flanders, Dourif and Scott.... What a combination. Experts in the field of acting. Bringing their collective expertise to Blatty, the film was bound to be perfect. The fact its being remade by a substandard director is beyond comprehension.
I don't want to be rude or anything but... it's NOT being remade. Actually it's being discarded. The new trilogy totally omits what happened in THE HERETIC AND EXORCIST 3. Also David Gordon Green did not want any input from Friedkin while he was alive. Unlike the new HALLOWEEN trilogy which he did not mind John Carpenter participating. I wonder why?🤔
@@slavetometal8529 DGG isn't rebooting 2,3? And adding a part 4...that nobody asked for??? Thank the lord!!! But hold up... What's that Netflix-esque shit hitting the cinema???

@@boris1387 I agree that DGG messed up the new Halloween Trilogy. The first one was pretty good. The second bad. The third one was very bad. DGG better do a good job on the new EXORCIST TRILOGY.

3:21 Had the studio not interfered by forcing Blatty on giving the movie "3" in the title, the movie most likely would've been called "The Exorcist: 1990" with a concept art with the shears, and a crew shirt with this early logo. And it appears this interview mentioned this early title as well.
IMO Blatty is better than Friedkin.Exorcist 3 is better than the original. And 3 is the Best movie Ever.Ill argue that to the death..George C Scotts performance is beyond amazing.The entire cast,the scares,the atmosphere,everything is perfect!! This is the best one and it will never be topped..
The EXORCIST is the greatest horror film ever made.the 3rd film is really good a great sequel in the franchise but no way in any shape way or form is it any match for the original when I saw the original in the cinema it was full no seats queues round the block when I saw exorcist 3 there was 6 people in the entire cinema so there you go
@@Vegan_Vampire They’re trying to say that Jason Miller has a son who goes by the name Jason Patric, and is also an actor, having appeared in movies like The Lost Boys, Sleepers, and The Beast.
During the Kinderman dream sequence around 20:23, am I crazy, or was Blatty making the pun that time is short, having the two dwarves/"little people"/however they're referred to currently, carrying the mini-grandfather clock ticking away with great acceleration?
I have always thought that Exorcist 3 was a much better movie than Exorcist. at least the story, for sure is more interesting to me. I never really cared about little girls in horror movie
I do love the original book though. There’s a lot in it that is really very poor profound. There’s a part where a snippet of a book by Father Merrin is being read that is absolutely beautiful. I’ve always wondered where it came from….now I must go try to find out…..lol!!!
If you look at Ed Flander's mannerisms in this interview, it looks like he has recently snorted cocaine. I found it uncomfortable to watch. Look at what he does with his hands and how many times he licks his lips and scratches his face. Weird s**t.
@@FreakinSweet86 wow, I didn't realize 'Coming to America' was that old. I remember he was the guy who robbed the McDowell's restaurant. :) I didn't know he was in 'Raw' either.
There's no fucking way this is better than the first. It's nowhere near as slick, well acted, or photographed. The fx aren't as disturbing. It's not as suspenseful.
Way overrated movie tbh. Felt mostly boring every time I watched it. You know how they say "The Heretic" is supposedly the worst sequel ever made? Well, at the very least it had the main connection to the original which was Regan. I've never read Blatty's "Legion" so I'm not exactly sure how this book links to the original one he wrote besides having Kinderman in it, but the movie is actually far worse and more boring than Exorcist 2 imo.
The Exorcist is indeed unparalleled. But Exorcist III is a tremendous film in its own way. Very restrained, intelligent, meditative. Just ignore the 2nd film! 😆

Thank you so much for uploading this dude.
I was 10 when this came out. I snuck in with my older cousins trying to be a big shot.

I watched this night it was released in the movie theater. I was 12.

7:10 I like how James G Robinson doesn’t know about Exorcist 2
C. Everett Koop's pronunciation of "documentary" is insane
It's legendary
omg the only bit that made me jump was the white robe fallowing the nurse talk about jump scare
Proper masterclass n always will be superior in not only horror movie history but in movie making period...SouthEast London stand up O.O.B #JMAN
Does the exorcist 3 blu ray have a documentary and some behind the scenes? That’s what I’m looking for.
The Shout Factory Blu-ray has the extra bonus features with this
Wow Larry King looks young RIP LK
