Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Billy Zane bulked to 200 pounds and did most stunts himself after being told he'd be replaced. He wasn't.
This bombed so hard it killed superhero films until Blade (1998), making it a fascinating pre-MCU fossil. Paramount marketed it as Indiana Jones when it's clearly more Dick Tracy in the jungle.
