Watching Speed 2 (don't ask) and I see this guy, this extremely prolific actor, who was in dozens of beloved movies like Waynes World, and go "OH SHIT IT'S THE GUY FROM OBSCURE WINDOWS 95 GAME STAR TREK: KLINGON! MESKER THE BARTENDER!"
I have a problem
De Bont wanted to create and destroy an actual town. He opted against miniature scale models or computer-generated imagery (CGI) to provide a sense of realism for the actors and the audience. A $5 million, 35-building set was constructed in Marigot, Saint Martin based on the town's local architecture, which temporarily housed production offices.[16][51][65] Despite De Bont's reason for choosing Saint Martin for filming, a hurricane struck the town and destroyed the set during construction. It had to be rebuilt with hurricane-proof buildings.[66]
In the scene's final shot, it had to stop successfully within a 6-inch (15 cm) area on the first take.[65] The five-minute scene cost $25 million to produce, roughly one quarter of the film's entire budget,[16] and set records as both the largest and the most expensive stunt ever filmed.[51][64]
