Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange are all sweaty and rich, so Robert DeNiro uses his tattoos to terrorise them. Juliette Lewis sucks Robert’s thumb, Nick does a lot of shouting, Jessica is sultry and caustic. Feels like Marty had just learned how to do a fast dolly zoom, because there’s one every few minutes. For some reason they all decide going somewhere called Cape Fear is a good idea, I’d have gone to Cape Puppies or Cape Cushions.
Trivia
In order to create Max Cady’s fearsome tattoos, Robert De Niro wore the skin of an extra who’d been tattooed and then flayed.
Nick Nolte enjoyed working with Robert De Niro so much that he changed his name to Robert De Niro and started talking with a New York accent.
Because Juliette Lewis was so young, she wasn’t allowed to suck Robert De Niro’s thumb so a fake thumb attached to a fake Robert De Niro was created for the scene.
The real Cape Fear has become a popular tourist destination where many families go each year to hide out from terrifying, tattooed psychopaths.
Bloopers
One of Max Cady’s tattoos reads ‘Millwall FC 4 Life. No one likes us we don’t care’
Quotes
