I´ve read that, family matters aside, he reportedly made it because he had not been offered a part in his uncle´s Dracula, which he so longed to do. So, he devised his role as Eddie in Deadfall as a way to let out his disappointment, caricature-like... And even had a temper tantrum filmed (the scene where he´s on the bed kicking and screaming like a child).
i still have deadfall, but will admit i only got half-way through it, and have never attempted a second try. i heard he only made it to help his brother, but don't know if that is true.
I'm sort of ashamed to say that I have all of Nic's movies on DVD - well except for Grindhouse, which I don't really count - and I did't like it anyway. I hope DVDs stay around for a little while!
Video is still lovingly kept by many, Lula. DVD will soon be a thing of the past too, but I´ll cling to it because... well, you´ve got to stick with something right?
I bought National Treasure 2, but the DVD had a problem so I returned it. It's very hard to find Nic old movies in my country so I just watch Nic movies on TV and Internet. When I saw the DVD The Rock, National Treasure 1 in the shop, I really wanted to buy 'em but my big sister didn't (maybe 'coz they were showed on TV). I was so sad.
ILIA, best.actor.fan., Lula, piegirltx, Liz D, I am really jealous of your Nicollention!!!

Wait, that´s not true: I threw DEADFALL in the garbage after seeing it a couple of times which convinced me that I did not want to see it ever again, LOL. Sooo... I guess that rules out the possibility of owning all of his movies, ever.
Mara, that's still a FEAT... I envy you so much!!

my collection is all on dvd and consists of the following:
fast times at ridgemont high rumble fish the cotton club birdy the boy in blue peggy sue got married raising arizona moonstruck vampire's kiss wings of the apache wild at heart zandalee honeymoon in vegas red rock west guarding tess it could happen to you trapped in paradise kiss of death leaving las vegas the rock con air face/off city of angels snake eyes 8mm bringing out the dead gone in 60 seconds the family man captain corelli's mandolin windtalkers adaptation sonny matchstick men national treasure lord of war the weather man the ant bully the wicker man world trade centre ghost rider next national treasure 2: book of secrets bangkok dangerous
i also have the gold tin collector's edition of national treasure 2 -which is still in plastic wrapper) and also have extra copy each of ghost rider and gone in 60 secs as watch those two so much have spares. my ultimate aim is to obviously get all his films and i also want to build up a collection of all the limited/collectors editions that i can get hold of and not open them. xx
i kept my vhs collection, but started over with the dvds. here it is: valley girl honeymoon in vegas leaving las vegas deadfall boy in blue time to kill kiss of death zandalee wickerman welcome to hollywood moonstruck wicker man vampire's kiss peggy sue got married(;p to kt b**ch) nt 1&2 wtc city of angels racing with the moon ( :p to sean pean a**hole) windtalkers sonny birdie wild at heart 8 mm con air face off the rock firebirds red rock west lord of war ghostrider gaurding tess adaptation matchstick men raising arizona rumble fish amos and andrew cotton club family man trapped in paradise snake eyes gone in 60 seconds captain corelli's it could happen to you weatherman bringing out the dead ghostrider next bangkok dangerous amazon.com is a great source to build your collection. they even have the harder to find ones.
I'm ashamed to admit that half of these are on video, but I won't get rid of the videos because they hold fond memories of when I first became a Nic fan, over 20 years ago now. I'm feeling an old 38 right now! Lol Also, I kind of like video, the same way I like vinyl instead of cd's!
There are a few frustrating gaps but I'm running out of room!
I have a few posters as well, but I'm not much one for collecting other Nic stuff other than the films!
Racing With the Moon Rumble fish The Cotton Club Birdy The Boy in Blue Peggy Sue got Married Raising Arizona Moonstruck Vampires Kiss Time to Kill Fire Birds Wild at Heart Zandalee Red Rock West Honeymoon in Vegas Amos and Andrew Deadfall Guarding Tess It Could Happen To you Trapped in Paradise Kiss of Death Leaving Las Vegas The Rock Con Air Face/off City of Angels Snake Eyes 8mm Bringing Out the Dead Gone in Sixty Seconds The Family Man Captain Corelli's Mandolin Windtalkers Adaptation Matchstick Men National Treasure Lord of War The Weather Man World Trade Centre The Wicker Man Ghost Rider Next National Treasure: Book of Secrets Bangkok Dangerous

In the past I bought Nics movies like others buy shoes or bags. It was like a addiction. Now the money is gone but I'm happy with my Treasure. I watched most of the movies 10 times or more.
