THERE are a few easy ways to tell if someone has seen Hook, one of the greatest kids films from the 1990s.
Simply start chanting ‘run home jack’ or yell ‘bangarang’ at the top of your lungs and if their eyes light up, you’ll know they’re a fan of the Robin Williams classic.
The 1991 movie, which was directed by Steven Spielberg, was nominated for five Oscars and is the fifth highest grossing pirate themed film of all-time.
Here are some little known facts about the Peter Pan remake:
Michael Jackson: Steven Spielberg originally wanted to make the movie in 1983 with Michael Jackson playing Peter Pan, according to IMDB . The King of Pop was also going to sing most of the songs on the soundtrack. But Spielberg was too busy with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and held off on Hook until 1991.
Cast: Both Kevin Kline and Tom Hanks were considered for the role of Peter Pan, which of course eventually went to Robin Williams. Rocker David Bowie was offered the role of Captain Hook but turned it down, and Richard Attenborough passed on playing Tootles.
Diva: Julia Roberts played Tinkerbell in the film, but according to IMDB , the actress was such a diva on set that the other cast and crew nicknamed her ‘Tinkerhell’. Another interesting fact: because the Oscar winner appeared barefoot in most of her scenes, she had an assistant whose sole responsibility was to keep her feet clean.
