Despite the fact that Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a far cry from one of many greatest motion pictures of the ’90s, it’s one of many prime classic Kevin Costner movies. Now, it simply obtained even higher, as a result of I realized that the star and one among his stuntmen went foraging for magic mushrooms earlier than filming a sword struggle for the 1991 movie. And now I actually need to return and watch this scene…
Whereas chatting with GQ, the actor and filmmaker shared the wild mini-saga that occurred between him and a Robin Hood coworker whereas the remainder of the forged and crew have been out for lunch. The Bodyguard alum defined, that he was requested casually if he needed to go searching for mushrooms within the close by area (Costner talked about the notorious area seems within the opening credit with a couple of boys operating by way of it). Then, he recalled the dialog he had with the stuntman about happening this quest, saying:
He was the stunt man enjoying the little boy, and he goes, ‘Hey, there’s some magic mushrooms out on this area,’ he goes ‘You wish to go search for them?’ I stated, ‘Okay, let’s go.’
This makes me begin to think about all of the downtime on film and TV units and the way the forged and crew may spend it. I can’t think about foraging of any variety is mostly thought of. Though the Dazed and Confused forged ate mushrooms collectively and went to a gun vary, however, once more, that is in all probability a really small and area of interest group of individuals exploring this exercise whereas working.
The Dances with Wolves actor then continued to dive into the mind-altering journey, noting they have been the one two looking for the mushrooms. He additionally stated that his stuntman had much more success than him on this quest, explaining:
After in regards to the fifth one he discovered, I stated, ‘Nick,’ I stated, ‘How are you, how are you, I’m wanting, how are you discovering these mushrooms?’ He says, ‘Nicely, it’s a must to eat one and it tells you the place the remainder of them are.’
It’s a reasonably goofy and becoming change whereas trying to find magic mushrooms. The truth that Costner wasn’t having any luck whereas his buddy had discovered 5 makes me begin to marvel if there was truly any on the market.
Then, it dawned on the Yellowstone star that he’d be sword preventing Alan Rickman an hour after this journey started, and he backed out of the mission, explaining:
And I assumed, ‘I’m not consuming a mushroom, Nick. We’re having a sword struggle, Nick. You’ve eaten some mushrooms? ‘Trigger we’re gonna be with swords in about an hour.’
All of it appeared to work out since most of us are solely studying the story now. Nevertheless, I do now want to return and see this scene that was filmed proper after this wild journey.
Total, it is a fairly nice story and helps me neglect Yellowstone with out John Dutton and Costner’s phrases in regards to the collection finale. It is also a great reminder that I would like to return and watch a few of his older Westerns and films.
The rewatch record is rising because of this bonkers story of Kevin Costner searching for magic mushrooms with a stuntman on the set of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And also you higher imagine I’ll be paying additional shut consideration to that sword struggle now.
You must too, as Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves is on the market with VOD.
