In this absurd episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we take a deep dive into the chaotic production of a 1994 action film that’s as notorious for its behind-the-scenes drama as it is for its on-screen antics. Jerry unravels the mystery behind the alleged involvement of some rather unsavory characters—let’s just say, there might have been a little help from the mafia in getting this movie made. Adding to the chaos, the film's director was so paranoid that he carried not one, but two high-caliber pistols on set every single day.
But the real star of this episode is the leading man—a controversial figure whose antics have earned him a lifetime ban from Saturday Night Live. That’s right, Lorne Michaels reportedly swore that this actor would never set foot in Studio 8H again, over his dead body. Jerry also uncovers the story of the film’s climactic ending, which originally featured a 40-minute soliloquy/montage that was mercifully cut down to seven minutes, sparing audiences from an even longer ordeal.
Tune in as Jerry Horror pulls back the curtain on the wild and reckless making of this infamous 90s action flick. With stories that are just as entertaining as the film itself, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the madness that went into creating a movie that's as much of a train wreck off-screen as it is on-screen. Whether you're a fan of 90s action or just love a good Hollywood horror story, this episode has something for everyone.
