TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Writer and Director Neil Jordan has always maintained that the released version of this film is very different from the one he shot. He was more or less excluded from the editing process of the final cut. He insists that his version is still locked away in a vault.

Of his co-star Daryl Hannah, Steve Guttenberg said she was "sweet and shy and very complex. She played the Irish accent well." Regarding Peter O'Toole, Guttenberg said, "He stood his ground, knew when to say 'no'. Not that he was difficult. When the camera rolled, he was perfect. Off the set, he was very private, reminding me of a bad boy who had done it all."

Sir Sean Connery was offered the role of Peter Plunkett by the studio. He later dropped out of the film, and the role was re-cast with Peter O'Toole.

Liz Smith was cast at short notice after the original choice, Beryl Reid, was too ill to work.

Popular Dialogues

"Peter Plunkett: [on the phone with Jim Brogan] Sir, once again I must remind you that my first name is not "Dick". Nor is my surname "face". It is simply "Peter". "Peter Plunkett"... No, I was not given a middle name but I'm sure if I had, my mother would not have chosen "shit-for-brains peckerhead"... Well then clearly you know a side to my mother that I have been happily sheltered from. Nevertheless I marvel at your colorfully creative ever-so-American colloquialisms which flow so trippingly from your razor-like tongue!"

"Sharon: [looks over the seat at Brother Tony after everyone's clothing has been ripped off, specifically she looks at his crotch] Oh! So all the snakes weren't driven out of Ireland. Brother Tony: What? [trying to cover himself] Sharon: Snakes. Ha, ha, ha, ha. [laughing hysterically]"
