Chris Farley - wandered in from another movie?


His performance seeemd so out of step with everyone else. I couldn't understand how the director could have accepted the clowning from him when everyone else was going for a more naturalistic style. There were moments when I wondered if his character had been added at the last minute just to increase the laugh quota. Does anyone know whether this could be the case? If you think about it, many of his scenes are standalone or just with the Sergeant. Was he "hot" and "available" and the producers got him in to "make it funnier"?

He wandered in from the set of Saturday Night Live following Sandler. It's called comic relief.

P.S. I don't think anyone in the history of cinema has called Chris Farley "hot."

He wasn't calling Farley hot physically, he was saying his career was red "hot" at the time...you nitwit. Although, Farley got laid more than a lot of us probably, due to his celebrity status, wealth, sense of humor, and his penchant for prostitutes.

I look at my red hands and my mean face, and I wonder about that man that's gone so wrong.

Comic relief in a comedy?

I admit I used a poor choice of words maybe I should have used "comic enhancement".

My point is, the main reason Farley is in this movie is his relationship with Adam Sandler. Almost any movie starring a Saturday Night Live cast member will have other SNL cast members in small roles or cameos, even if that cast member arrived after or departed before the star.
