movie review

Part two of my review of the underrated Christmas comedy classic, Scrooged(1988) starring Bill Murray, Karen Allen, John Forsythe, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait, David Johansen, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Nicholas Phillips, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard. Directed by Richard Donner. Trivia When the Ghost Of Christmas Present (Carol Kane) grabbed Bill Murray’s lip she tore his lip so badly that filming was halted for several days. The trivia game played by Frank’s brother is “what’s the name of the boat on Gilligan’s Island?” Director Richard Donner was one of the original directors on the show. On the “Frisbee” show (when Frank is in the dog suit), there is a tree on the set with a heart engraving and “Dick Loves Lauren”. Director Richard Donner is married to producer Lauren Shuler Donner. Sam Kinison was originally slated to play the part of Eliot Loudermilk. The part eventually went to Bobcat Goldthwait due to his friendship with Bill Murray. Share this
