Another movie where Tom plays a character named Jack.
jessag87
Absolutely love Tim curry in this movie
Noob3rts
Yo, why is Dave Grohl in this movie?
kaoticgirl
This was one of my favorite movies growing up
ElBarbu
Yea, pre-scientology Tom Cruise is weird
levelor
@OP I saw this as a kid in the theater when it came out. Tim Curry IS a god.
ComoSeIguana
Mia Sara's first movie

Weird ass corruption transformation sequence of the Princess which basically translates to 'Initiate Goth Phase'.

The black dress dance is one of the defining movie moments of my life! ?

I loved it completely. I was young, but still love it

Same, was actually talking to my gf about it, she's never seen it so we're gonna watch it soon

Look at his front teeth on the last image

VernonTWalldrip
Yes it was. I remember that fairy who looks like he’s 8, but talks like he smokes cigars.
WholeCogan
They overdubbed his voice because the studio felt it sounded too German. Blix actor (Alice Playten) provided overdubbed voice
majortool
Is that the same devil in The Pick of Destiny?
SallyMcCrumbles
Wasn’t that Dave Grohl?
lDanielHolm
It was, and it's Tim Curry here. So not the same.

Favorite line. I love when I can apply it IRL.

People forget so many of the other characters. Like Meg Mucklebones.

Meg inspired many nightmares when I was little. Tim Curry steals the show though. "What is light without dark?"

Man, Tim Curry was a boss

This line hits you far harder when you're older. It's been so long since I could dream. Now all I see around me is false hope.

Blasphemy! Legend is the greatest fantasy movie of all time and I'll have words with anyone who disagrees. Words I tell you!
Spudd86
Being weird is part of what makes it good fantasy...
markiel
I mean, it's up there, but not sure about greatest. You got willow, lotr, labyrinth, and krull, to name a few.
RPCharImages
It gets more than an hournourable mention is what we're saying
markiel
Oh yeah no doubt. Gonna watch it with my gf who hasn't seen it. Just, not a contender for top spot is all.
turbotricycle
Dope ass fucking movie bro.
Darien000
I'd say this is up there, but Hawk the Slayer is better to me. This had the way better budget though. This one is a fav though.
ijustwannavote
I had never heard of this movie before! Thank you! I must check it out...
MrStealYourGiF
You'll really get lost in the sequels then, Legends of the Fall and I am Legend... I was only a couple of beers in & couldn't follow it thru
KarakLohr
It’s because brad pitt played the dog, metaphorically. He really is a great actor stuck in a leading man’s/dog’s body.
TheCarolingian
They tie up all the loose ends with a film set in London in the 60s about twins...called Legend. Starts a Legend, finishes a Legend. Awesome
Rkfinecake
I think John Legend did the soundtrack.
duffman3335
Let's not forget Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend.
thetickcannothaveaspoontoobig
A game, League of Legends, was released after LotF that had canonical retcons. Many WTF moments in I am Legend are explained in the game.
ImAnActionBirb
I read LotF as Lord of the Flies.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Same
GleepGlopDubloon
You’re a legend, Dave
walnutbreath
You gotta watch the Legend of Bagger Vance. It's a prequel and gives the later films much needed context.

Kind of like the film trilogy 28 Days, 28 Days Later, and 28 Weeks Later?

Things take quite the turn for ole' Sandy Bullock I hear.

And no Alan T or Viggo in the sequels. ☹

That costume was fucking amazing. Still holds up, too.
arajad
I don't know... I thought his horns boinging along when he charged was hilarious.
Ittouchesthetoilet
Right? A good example of why I prefer old school practical effects. I find there's too much cgi now.
nonickname23
I've watched it straight and it's no less weird. It's a rare example of Tom Cruise playing someone other than Tom Cruise.
StormBurnX
Conversely, I felt like it was his most painfully "Tom Cruise" kind of role. Really ruined a good chunk of the movie for me
DonJuanPrawn
gtollie
Check out “Born on the Fourth of July”
Islandvoid
But have you tried watching it gay?
SanchoPliskin
Have you seen this movie? It’s impossible to not be gay while watching it. I’m pretty sure I was horny everyone. Jack✅, Lili✅, Darkness✅✅✅✅
Shoumpue
This what they call a bi movie, like the Mummy
TranscendentMonkeyNutsRupturingAndReIeasingAVelociraptor
You gotta watch it Queer , it’s so much better.
anglarite
You mean... he doesn't run?
fedupwithhumanity
He does run... but no motorcycles lol. Cliff diving not climbing. Sword fights not hand to hand or guns. Glitter is prevalent.
76000BatteryLlamas
Ah, the center tooth era
GoodGuyGonzo
martineb72
Isn't that still a version of Tom? Just a Tom that will yell at people while the camera is still on.
Rogahar
I legit didn't even realize it WAS Cruise until the credits.
necroticon
"... find out who that was."
pigsearsandtwirlytails
What movie is this?
necroticon
Tropic Thunder
VulcanP90
I wish he'd do more goofy shit like this.
Dondarian
Me too man! Me too. He and RDJ were far and away the best parts of this entire movie to a gigantic extent. (Tropic Thunder is the film)
beerlady
The proportion of his hands and arms here are odd
azarza
1 of 2 things required to be in the movie iirc
alicefreak47
I can't stand Tom Cruise, but that was his best role.
GCRust
I also can't stand Tom, but this role really convinced me he's a legitimate actor. Didn't even guess it was him until the credits.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Exactly! I was absolutely stunned that was Tom, but once you know, you can't unsee it.
GoodGuyGonzo
The prosthetics were his own idea
pigsearsandtwirlytails
Why?
JoeyJoJoJrShabbadoo
He thought fat fingers would be funny for some reason, so they did it for him.
EvilFentoozler
I've wanted to watch this ever since I found out Satan was played by Tim Curry.
ZeRootOfAllEvil
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
There's a few different cuts, none perfect, but I'd recommend to only watch cuts where the scoring was by Tangerine Dream.

Darkness, not satan.
msd3k
Yeah, he actually calls his dad (presumably Satan) in the movie. And he is very supportive of his son's romantic choices.
Spudd86
His father is void. Darkness may have a Satan look but I don't think Satan exists in this movie's world.

Technically, Tim Curry is voiced by Tim Curry.
CakeIsALie227
That's so cool! I stand corrected. Ive believed wrong information since I was very young. And I have seen it many times.
adrianontherocks
I honestly really love this movie
BobRossLeftHand
I can't stand it, BUT Tim Curry is still one amazing lord of darkness. And his costume is just wow.
fedupwithhumanity
Have since I was young. For its time, best unicorn depiction too. And I listen to the soundtrack still.
LateNightBunnyParty
Get the director's cut.
msd3k
I can't remember, does the directors version have the orchestral score, or the Tangerine Dream score? The TD score is integral to the movie-
msd3k
-for me. I watched a Korean Laserdisc of the movie (in english) ages ago. It had a few extra scenes, but the Orchestral Score was so...blah.
LateNightBunnyParty
I couldn't stand the TD score as a kid. The director's cut has the orchestral score, but also several more scenes that actually make /
LateNightBunnyParty
the plot make more sense.
billdozer86
Watch it with director's commentary. Ridley Scott is so embarrassed by this movie.
sadurdaynight
and the original music before it was replaced by Tangerine Dream.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Really? Why?
sadurdaynight
He was trying to make a real-life fairy tale movie. Originally they had scenes of Mia's character singing and birds coming to her..real 1/
sadurdaynight
Disney shit. And the original music was orchastra. I think test audiences hated it or were confused by it. So, they edited it down to be 2/
sadurdaynight
action and less disney stuff, and had Tangerine Dream do a modern synth score for it. Then test audiences liked it more./
16vscotch
This movie and their depiction of "Satan" made me realize I was no longer Christian and that I was gay.
NoQuestionMarksInDeclarativeSentences
Met a lesbian in 6th grade who said the same about Tim Curry.
beez428
I saw it alone when I was really little & it scared the shit out of me. Had to turn it off & wait to watch the rest with someone.
CeruleanSky1988
I'm pretty straight but god damn Tim Curry had me questioning my sexuality but in a different movie.
hightechpirate
You must be talking about Clue.

He's not Satan. He's Satan's son.
Ultratoxic
This movie was the cause of many many confused boners

A blog I follow called it "a love letter to Tom Cruise's thighs". ?
majorminers
His name is Darkness. Hes a demon. Dang guys!
HellfireJags
It's okay, Tim Curry does that for a lot of us.
Ittouchesthetoilet
Well, it is Tim Curry. I think Rocky Horror Picture Show also made people question their sexuality.
darthOnion
jfitz
It made a lot of people gay for Satan.

Just fact checking my preacher: how much time between "no longer Christian" and "gay"?

Just the tip

I was raised Catholic and given the church's history of abuse, -2000 years or so.

Tim Curry has that affect on people. Regardless of his role.

If a movie can do that to you then you should probably see a therapist
stickywiggit
Oh sweetie. Most people figure out their sexuality through viewing attractive people. Like for example actors in movies.

Wow. I just took a stroll though your past comments .. Do you know what the Dunning Kruger effect is?

I like how Tenacious D used this model of Satan in their videos/movie
grumblefish
I assumed it was a mash-up cover using Tenacious D's Satan. Wasn't expecting this to be a real movie.
potentiallyunsafe
I def see the resemblance but is it coincidence or did the actually pull from it?
redpandabanana
Would you care either way?
PhysicsPhill
No, but as a curious fellow, I'd like to know
Chromeshack
It's close but maybe not as much as I remember

Tim Curry and Dave Grohl. All Hail Satan!

Nah, they didn't really use that model. It was just a tribute.
