    Another person in the running for Darkman was Bill Paxton who ironically brought Liam Neeson with him to one of the auditions. After Neeson got the part, Paxton didn't speak to him for over a year. But I very much agree that Bruce Campbell (as well as Paxton) would've warranted a MUCH better movie as opposed to Neeson.

Partly to honor him and partly so you can do a round of movies for great characters actors that everyone knows when they see them but most people never know their names. To my shame, I always recognized Dick Miller but only his passing have I learned his name.

    16:15 perhaps you are confusing it with the Shadow (1994) with Alec Baldwin - he didn't have the ability to physically change his face but had the ability to cloud other men's minds so they thought he looked different. The Shadow's costume was also very similar with the hat and the cloak and the scarf over the face

The cover turns people off because they made it look like a young kid movie, but that is only because they wanted to sell more to that demographic. Kids can watch and enjoy it, but its compelling , has a lot of mature themes, and the artistry is excellent. Great characters, great story, and great art.
