why Michael J Fox play this kind of movie.


there is one question that I always ask myself in brain, is this question. why MJF would take a film that has rape scene and his cast always got bullied like that. plus this movie, the main person is Sean Penn Tony Measerve.

maybe Fox acts very well, very brilliant, I can't deny. MJF always act over 100%.

but I dont know why would he choose such kind of *beep* film that has serious rape scene like this one and even willing to act erikkson.

I dont hate MJF, but being MJF fans, seeing Sean Penn supporters and people keep saying Sean Penn is better than Fox, plus this film is not good for Fox to take role.

if you speak serious film, a Frighteners Frank Bannister is already enough

Frighteners is far better than this boring movie.

this movie is so boring and so pornographic. also, MJF got bullied and is still lower position/fame than Sean Penn....

I dont know why some MJF fan speaks this is MJF's best? I just want to ask that MJF fan are you really MJF fan? how can you support a movie that Sean Penn stars not MJF stars (mainest is SEAN PENN , SGT TONY MEASERVE)

are you a MJF Fan, those who said this movie is the best MJF movie, are you even a MJF fan?

I know your name, you are a girl but you like this movie, most girls not like watch rape scene but you, I wonder what is wrong to you/

Perhaps he was afraid of being typecast? Not every actor is content with playing the same type of role repeatedly. Plus, Erickson is an intriguing character and I'd say it's a more challenging role than Maserve.

Frighteners came out in 1996. This film was released seven years ealier, so that argument is invalid.

On the DVD cover Fox's and Penn's names are of equal size, with Fox's on the left. Higher billing. Also, Fox's name is listed before Penn's in the credits, so Fox got top billing on this film.

Because everyone has different opinions.

I just want to ask that MJF fan are you really MJF fan?

are you a MJF Fan, those who said this movie is the best MJF movie, are you even a MJF fan?

How many non-fans would bother to compare his different roles to say which is his best? It's obvious you're a fan of Fox, but only when he plays a particular type of character.

you are a girl but you like this movie, most girls not like watch rape scene but you, I wonder what is wrong to you/

Are you calling anyone with a different opinion than you a girl? What's wrong with you?

this movie is so boring and so pornographic.

This film is pornographic? Type "free porn" into your search engine. You'll see what porn really is.

Maybe you should keep those questions in your brain.

Because MJF is the ultimate "Good Guy" all throughout the mid 80's to early 90's and he plays it again in this movie.

With all the horrible things that went on around him, he managed to be the "Good Guy" and you even ended up feeling sorry for him because he couldn't be the hero and save the day. It was a great job of casting and even better performance. I agree with the other posts, this was the best role he ever done.

1) He probably wanted avoid being typecast as the perpetually teenage "funny kid" from Family Ties, Back to the Future, Teen Wolf... which is why he did COW and Bright Lights, Big City.

2) He was effected by the script and thought it was an important story worth being a part of.

And The Frighteners isn't a "serious" drama, either; It's a comedy/supernatural horror movie.
