Was it me or did he look totally out of it during this film? Like he was stoned or on something? Could be he was just bored and sleepwalking through it like Robert Mitchum used to do in a lot of his films.
shareActually, I had the honor of doing an interview with Clint in 2001, where this movie came up as a major topic. According to him, JMV had been in a motorcycle accident a short time before the shoot, and they practically had to "prop him up" in order to get any kind of performance out of him.
I'd imagine he was also using homebrew 'medications'. ;)

And that is exactly what his performance looks like. Verging on a Weekend At Bernie's vibe. Hard to watch.

I'm pretty sure Jan-Michael was bombed out of his skull on cheap booze when he acted in this movie.
