TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The thick accent Robert De Niro used to play Max Cady reportedly gave Martin Scorsese the creeps. As a joke, De Niro would call Scorsese's house, leaving voicemails as Cady.

Robert De Niro was tattooed with vegetable dyes, which faded after a few months.

Robert De Niro's Cady accent came from an earlier role, where he played a southerner. To prepare for the role, De Niro took excerpts of the script and a tape recorder into southern towns and would ask locals to read the lines into the tape.

The scene in the high school auditorium was completely ad-libbed by Robert De Niro and Juliette Lewis, and done on the first take.

The auditorium scene was originally scripted as a chase scene, but Martin Scorsese wanted it to be a seduction.

Popular Dialogues

"Max Cady: I ain't no white trash piece of shit. I'm better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I'm gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my guts is gonna get me down? It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you're better than me!"

"[last lines] Danielle: [voiceover] We never spoke about what happened, at least not to each other. Fear, I suppose, that to remember his name and what he did would mean letting him into our dreams. And me, I hardly dream about him anymore. Still, things won't ever be the way they were before he came. But that's alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I'd rather live. [whispers] Danielle: The end."
