SUMMARY
 |
| Buff sailorman Popeye
arrives in an awkward seaside town called Sweet Haven.
There he meets Wimpy, a hamburger loving man, Olive
Oyl, the soon-to-be love of his life, and Bluto, a huge,
mean pirate who's out to make Sweet Haven pay for no
good reason. Popeye also discovers his long lost Pappy
in the middle of it all, so with a band of his new friends,
Popeye heads off to stop Bluto, and he's got the power
of spinach, which Popeye detests, to busk Bluto right
in the mush. Watch as Popeye mops the floor with punks
in a burger joint, stops a greedy tax man, takes down
a champion boxer, and even finds abandoned baby Swee'Pea.

FILMING
INFORMATION
|
| The makeup appliances for Robin
Williams' fake forearms were not ready when filming
began, so in early shots, Popeye wears a long-sleeved
raincoat to hide his normal-sized arms.
Most of Robin Williams's muttered Popeye voice was
discovered to be inaudible once filming wrapped, and
he had to re-dub much of the dialogue.
During filming of the scene at the end where Ray
Walston throws Robin Williams the can of spinach,
Ray hit Robin in the head so hard that he required
several stitches in his scalp. This delayed filming
for several weeks. |

If I was gonna be swee'pea's mother, I should've at
least let Olive be his father. Or viska versa. I ain't
man enough to be no mother.
