“hurt them so bad” they went to the police instead of the hospital.
I may take flack for this, but ANY story like this that is released about anyone in a movie, should be taken with a grain of salt. Movie PR people will say ANYTHING to pump up their client’s resume.
Ever heard the one about Will Smith turning down MIT to be an actor? That never happened. Will Smith was a smart kid and a good student but the old tale is based on a diversity program at MIT that MAY have let him in IF he applied, which he did not.
Back in the day they really went all out. Jack Palance, who did serve in the military, was said to have been so disfigured in a military plane crash that his unique mug was a result of botch plastic surgery. Later on he would sarcastically deny the story was was kind of embarrassed by it.
I caught that too.
