shareTobe & Klaus Kinski hated each other
Klaus won!!
From what I've read, Tobe Hooper didn't get on with Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed or Nicol Williamson. All for different reasons. And all of whom were notoriously difficult to work with, especially if they didn't like you. And all of whom pretty much hated each other from day one. The way I heard it told was that one day shortly into filming he just walked off the set and never came back. The next thing anyone knew was that stock director Piers Haggard, who mainly worked in British tv, was on the set and had taken over.
shareThanks for providing the context to the "creative differences" euphemism. Often what happens behind the scenes is more interesting than the finished product (though this is a very entertaining film),
