SUMMARY
|
The story is about a
travel agent who wants to plan a permanent road trip
to a warm locale. He thinks it may help his wife, who
suffers from psychosomatic Tourette's syndrome.
To get the money, he steals a corpse and pretends it's
his long-missing brother. The plan goes awry when two
hitmen come looking for the body, which they had stashed. |

CORPSE
TRIVIA
|
Here's more information
about the corpse used in the movie. The following
message was send by a friend of Ward Massner. Thanks
a lot for the information!
The body looks exactly like Ward Massner, they
did a great job when he went to Vancouver and they
made the cast of him. He even met Robin Williams on
set in Winnipeg while he filmed a scene. I noticed
though that Ward Massner does not appear on the credits
on IMDB, likely because he does not speak at all in
the film. The film opens with Robin finding Ward dead
in the dumpster.
Maybe your site could mention this little trivia and
we will all know why the body looks so real...and
life like!! |
