TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When asked why the axe used by his character has the name "OTIS" carved into the handle, Paxton stated that he wanted the axe to have its own personality and to be unique. He found the name in Pasadena when he was there scouting for locations to film. Paxton met a homeless man and offered to give him some money. The homeless man did not want charity, so Paxton instead offered to buy the use of the man's name for his movie. The homeless man's name was Otis.

Bill Paxton used the same beer can the entire filming of the movie because they could only find one Hamm's beer can like that from 1979. The can was "opened" off-camera and a sound effect added for popping its top (explained in the director commentary at around 52 mins).

At the very end, the two boys that ride scooters across the screen are Matt O'Leary and Jeremy Sumpter, who play Fenton and Adam Meiks as youngsters, "almost like we're in this weird Twilight Zone world." Paxton revealed.

Directors James Cameron, Sam Raimi and author Stephen King all singled out Frailty (2001) for high praise. King considered it one of the best horror movies of its year.

The film is set in Texas and has three Texas-born actors as top-billed stars: Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, and Powers Boothe.

Popular Dialogues

"Dad: Come in and close the door. Are you afraid? [Fenton nods] Dad: Of what? Young Fenton: You, you. Dad: Only demons should fear me. You're not a demon, are you? The angel said you were. I can't believe that. I won't. You're my son, and I love you more than my own life. You know what's funny about all this, Fenton? I'm afraid of you."

"Young Adam: I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart, down in my heart... and if the devil don't like it he can sit on a tack. Young Fenton: Ouch."
