10 Tiny Horror Movie Details That Give Away Character Secrets
10. Moreau’s Blowhole - The Island Of Doctor Moreau
Originally a novel by H. G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau is a classic sci-fi tale about a mad scientist who fuses human beings and animals together to form bizarre hybrids.
It's that Treehouse of Horror segment on The Simpsons where Marge turns into a sexy puma.
The story has been filmed a few times over the years, but the one we're talking about is the 1996 adaptation starring legendary nutter Marlon Brando in the title role.
This was one of the Godfather star's final films and he clearly wanted to make an impact on it. He suggested multiple strange changes be made to story, including one that would fundamentally change his character's story.
Brando wanted it to be revealed that Moreau was himself a hybrid by showing him with a dolphin's blowhole on top of his head. Why did he want this? No idea, but even when the director said no, he still worked the idea into his performance.
Throughout the movie, Brando's Moreau is never seen without a hat. This had to be a decision on Brando's part, in an effort to preserve his own insane head canon - literally.
