Kurt Russell told a story of how he landed twice as much as the usual fee to titles Starghat. Concerned that Colonel Jackec O'Neal's role was not particularly striving on paper, MGM conducted a global poll to find out which actor seeing the public has at least "incredible". Russell returned to the peaks with "Zero Amazing", so the executions offered the actor to pay a bumper to star in the film. It's something with Russell: with his classic look of Matini idol, a beautiful head of hair, contagious laughter and easy behavior, you will find it difficult to find many people there who do not like it. However, a decade before it hit the "Starghat" theaters, the cinema simply did not pay money to watch Russell's films, resulting in a series of apostles that almost used his career before taking off.

Russell started acting playing a young man, hitting Elvis Presley in Shins in "It happened at the World Fair" before taking his big break on Disney films, including "The Computer Wearing Tennis Shoes" and "CEO". Those films were not great shakes, but Russell was clearly a talented young future Starwar, and he shared A. A rare connection to the legendary mogul Walt Disney. .

With miracles of fate, Elvis Presley once again gave Russell an impetus in his acting career. Two years after the king died, Johnon Carpenter threw the actor at Elvis, a well -received TV film for which Russell received a nomination for the Premit Emmy Award. It was the beginning of a successful employment with the director and opened the door to Hollywood. After Russell starred in Robert Klaquis' "used cars", Carpenter threw the actor in his first iconic role: Nihilist former man of special forces turned into a bandit of the Snake Bank Bank into a "New York" escape. Following "Halloween" and "Fog", the thriller for scientific-action action was another hit for a carpenter and Russell nailed the role with his usual charisma, giving us an anti-heroe worth taking root. It was a positive start to Russell and Carpenter decided to throw him back into his next film, which was where he began. Because that next movie was "Something".

Kurt Russell was not the first choice of Johnon Carpenter played by RJ Makraid, the nominal hero of his remake of the Howard Fox classic "The this from another world". However, the actor made the unprepared helicopter pilot Another solid addition to his filmmaker when joining an excellent ensemble actor for light and uncertain scientific-Horore-Horor that returned to the paranoia that changed in the form of its original material, Johnon V. Carpenter was well equipped with the biggest budget of his career to this day ($ 15 million), one of the hottest young wizards for special effects in Hollywood (Rob Botin) and Enio Moricone providing a very threatening result of a carpenter-ESK.

However, "The Thing" had an accident to open a few weeks after the "Et Extra-Terristal" in June 1982. Perhaps understandable at that time of year, viewers have a lot of preferred the company of a more cowardly visitor than the outdoor space than watching a bunch of guys ripped to the grated in the snow and ice. Critics hated the film, and Carpenter was labeled "pornography of violence". The film barely made a profit, astonishing to boost the world of just under $ 21 million.

Russell had a short return with Silkwood, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination - still only the second awards for his career (after Elvis). Then it was downhill from there. Swing Shift teamed him with his future long -term partner Goldie Hon (they started hanging out during the filming), but the film bombed, taking home just $ 6.6 million against a $ 15 million budget. The "Medium Season" also stumbled at the box office, returning less than half of the $ 10 million price. Russell's strong pairing with Robin Williams could not save the sports comedy "The Best Time" of a similar fate, bringing only $ 7.8 million to a $ 12 million budget.

Then came a "big trouble in Little China", Russell's fourth cooperation with Carpenter. At the time, the director paid his Hollywood invitation with Christine and Starman and was entrusted with another important budget. However, despite Russell's winning performance as Buffon Truck driver Jackec Burton, the audience just didn't know what to do from the bizarre blend of western, action, horror, kung-fu and movies friends. The reviews were mixed and the film made just $ 11 million against a $ 25m budget.

Despite the disastrous apostle, no one really placed any guilt on Kurt Russell's door and may be a testimony to the people's goodwill towards him that he was not considered a poison from the box office at that stage. Takee needed another pairing with Goldie John in Overborth to finally break the losing string. Roma made only a small profit, but at least it ended in plus the numbers. Subsequently, Russell's next two major films allowed him to be based on the starved potential he showed in the early 1980s. The first was Tequila Sunrise along with Mel Gibson and Michelle Ffsiffer, followed by "Tango and Cash" with Sylvester Stallone, surely the most dynamous "Zanjet" action movie that came out of the decade. Between the "winter people" disappeared without a trace, but otherwise Russell is now acting in significant hits at the box office. He and John became one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, teasing the marriage proposal as they presented the Oscar for Best Director of the Academy Awards in 1989.

The wedding never came true, but Russell had many more reasons to be cheerful in the 1990s, starring in a series of commercially successful films involving "Backdraft", "Illegal Entrance", "Tomb", "Stargate", "Executive Decision" and "Malfunction". There were still a few picnic on the road (Captain Ron, "La Escape"), but until now Russell has become one of Hollywood's most dependent banking actors.

The 21st century is a mixed bag for Russell, although the high points probably exceed the negatives. He appeared on Course for Another Major Wobble as He Interspersed Solid Performances in Films Like "Vanilla Sky" and "Miracle" with Another Batch of Flops ("3000 Miles to Graceland," Interstate 60 ") and Mediocre Dramas ("Dreamer"). The Santa Claus screen in the films "Christmas Chronicles". You never know what is behind the corner, but now in his 70s, the man with zero unexpectedness seems to return for good.
