10 Hilarious Behind The Scenes Facts About The Worst Movies Ever
8. The Star Of Troll 2 Was A Dentist With No Acting Experience
Troll 2 is one of the most notoriously bad movies in history, and there was actually an entire documentary about the film's legacy, Best Worst Movie. It's full of insane dialogue, over the top acting, and exactly zero trolls.
But one of the funniest aspects of the behind the scenes is how all the actors got involved in the movie. Basically nobody in the cast was an experienced actor. The producers put out a casting call and nearby residents responded, figuring they might get cast as an extra. Next thing they knew, they were starring in the film as the leads.
In particular, George Hardy was just a dentist who had never acted before and pretty much showed up just because he figured it'd be a fun experience. He was cast as Michael Waits, one of the film's main characters. Rewatching the movie now and imagining Michael as being played by a confused dentist who accidentally ended up in this movie makes the whole thing even more hilarious.
By the way, almost nobody on the crew besides the cast members actually spoke English, adding to the cast's constant confusion. The only person involved in the production who was actually a fluent English speaker was the set designer.
So basically, Troll 2 is made up of very confused non-actors who accidentally stumbled into the lead roles.
