fight scene at the end


when michael j fox and phil hartman go at it, phil picks up michael and slams him against the wall, michaels head breaks the the glass cover of a lamp. was that staged or did it happen accidentally?

reply

Don,t know,but it did look unstaged and that Fox just got on with it.Unbelievable to think that by 1994,Fox had parkinsons for three years and was doing scenes like that and keeping it a secret.

The breakaway glass they use in movies are pretty safe for actors, sometimes its actually a candy made from molded sugar.

You're probably right,I just meant,I think Fox was a real pro for letting Phil Hartman throw him about,into the lamp and flipping him over on the table,considering he had parkinsons.
