The Noodle Eating Scene - Everyone Give Your Opinion

He's good at imitating that kind of stuff. It may have actually been really spicy, but maybe not.

You are right on. It was not improvised. Robin did not know how spicy that noodle bowl was...although he was the one dumping the entire jar of chili pepper into it! :-)

Of course he was dying afterwards and had to drown himself in water.

The reason I know this is because I was sitting across from him in that scene - feeling victorious for egging him on. "If you trusting me, you'll eat it!" HAHAHAHAH
That was one of the earlier scene that we shot together, and he quickly earned my admiration and respect for making it real.

p.s. I check back on this board every so often and always amaze that fans still talk about it after all these years - for good reason though as it was a great movie. It certainly was for me.

My dad was stationed at Korat Air Base in 1967-68 with the USAF and I remember him telling a story about eating a dish one day early on, and the old Thai men were dipping their chopsticks in a clear liquid hot sauce then shaking them off before taking a bite of the dish. Well, to he11 with all that trouble he thought I'll just pour some of this stuff on the dish instead of dicking around with the dip and shake between each bite, he11, I like hot sauce. He said he should have realized his mistake when they started to grin at each other but didn't say anything to him. The old Thai men had a good laugh at his reaction and his mouth stopped burning at least 3 to 4 weeks before he rotated back stateside a year later. Apparently they got some HOT HOT HOT sauces in Thailand

I'll tell you why I think it may be unscripted:

Right after he takes a mouthful and spits it out, Williams says "mai ao" which is actually the Thai way of saying you "don't want" something. The movie was filmed in Thailand and he probably learned a few phrases while he was here.

If it was scripted, surely he'd say something Vietnamese, or purely English. I think he was shocked and "mai ao" slipped out.

Just my theory, but hey, it makes good sense to me.
