In the case of Mel's on-set looniness that I mentioned above I think what was happening was that Mel was simply in his movie-comedy alter (since the movie was more or less a comedy action type film). His joking around continued when he was actually working in the shots. It's just that it didn't stop when he was off by himself between scenes. In other words, it was like his "funny Movie persona" was turned on and it wasn't turned off between scenes so he just kept acting like a joker even when no one was around. Like a robot that was momentarily placed in the corner but not turned off. That's how it seemed to me anyway.  I saw something similar (but in another way) with the actor Nicolas Cage when I worked on Face/Off. When they were almost ready to shoot a scene Nic would come out and stand on his mark with his head down looking at the ground. He would just stand there motionless looking downward like a marionette with limp strings, sometimes for quite a while. Then, just as "action" was called Nic would come to life and become the Nicolas Cage we all know and then on "Cut" he would go limp again, just staring downward, saying nothing. I've seen lots and lots of actors work but I've never seen any do that before or since. It was weird. It was like he was a little puppet with no personality until they called "action." |

Amazing piece of information. |

Just thinking that Mel Gibson had been doing some interesting political movies early on. "Gallipoli" was very critical of the British army in Turkey in WWI. "Mutiny on the Bounty" was critical of Brit Capt Bligh & made a hero out of Fletcher Christian who stood up to him. "The Year of Living Dangerously" was "about a love affair [g/f was CIA] set in Indonesia during the overthrow of President Sukarno. It follows a group of foreign correspondents in Jakarta on the eve of an attempted coup by the so-called 30 September Movement on 30 September 1965 and during the beginning of the violent reprisals by military-led vigilante groups that killed hundreds of thousands." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Year_of_Living_Dangerously) "
So anyway, did Mel Gibson get in trouble for his politics?

That Indonesia movie he was in (as an actor not writer or director) does bring the US genocide of Indonesia up in the storyline, but it baically whitewashes the US (CIA) role in the mass slaughters and minimizes the 1965-66 holocaust there as being something less than it was/ confusing it with a romance narrative of two white people who happen to be there. Mel Gibson's personal politics were always conservative, Republican, pro-Bu$h, Catholic (supposedly devout), pro-war etc. while he was and is a serial adulterer and heavy drinker in his personal life. Not a good guy, as you also see by his bigotry. |

I dont remember MEL making all kinda remarks and talking bullsh*t earlier than 90's. All his rantings I can trace them back cca 1993-1994. Probably the replacement was made then. |

From the Blogosphere:
Harper's Magazine: "Jesus Killed Mohammed" the Crusade for a
Christian military
Thursday, April 16, 2009
(from Prof. Ron West's blog)
This blog is related to this press release
“An Easter Sunday raid on Iraqi insurgents in 2004. Special Forces Officers, inspired by a showing of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, wrote the words “Jesus Killed Mohammed” in Arabic on their Bradley Fighting Vehicle and shouted the saying in both English and Arabic to entice Muslim soldiers into the open before embarking on an attack to put down the insurgency.”
Having served nearly a year, 1974-75, as operations and intelligence sergeant for Detachment 1, Company C, 5th Special Forces Battalion (19th Special Forces Group), I can remark on the above Harper's excerpt (see the release further down the page) with the observation there is more to this than Mel Gibson's ‘Passion', although the ‘Passion' certainly could/would be the instigator for this particulary serious breach of our Special Forces ‘psy-ops' rules.

It certainly looks like Mel was replaced after Tequila Sunrise(1988). Mel in Tequila Sunrise Compare Mel in Lethal Weapon(1987)................to Fel in Lethal Weapon 2(1989)  |
