Hugh Jackman pulled out of this film to do X-Men


This film was going to have Hugh Jackman in it before he became big- but he pulled out at the 11th hour to do X-Men. Jackman didn't feel comfortable about pulling out either and was going to turn down X-Men. But Fox studios found a compromise, agreeing to pay the director Alan White $500 000 to delay the shooting by four months. White took the money and decided to go ahead without Jackman casting Tom Long instead.
