Willard (2003)

2 corrected entries

★★★☆☆

Starring: Crispin Glover, R. Lee Ermey, Laura Harring, Jackie Burroughs

Corrected entry: One of the first times Willard takes the rats out in the bags, he says Ben can't go because if he gets in the bag, no one else will fit. Well when we see Ben in the bag later, it is clear that there is still quite a bit of room left in the bag to fit at least five more rats in there.

Correction: Willard is just using that as an excuse because he doesn't like Ben.

Corrected entry: As Willard goes through the house rat proofing, he duct tapes the toilet lid down, but when Catherine uses Willard's toilet, the duct tape he used to secure the lid is cut so she can just lift the lid.

Correction: She does tear off the tape to get it open. you even hear a ripping sound..

Trivia

Trivia: When Willard's boss is working on his spreadsheet program, just before the rats show up, he is not entering the spreadsheet formula properly. He is entering the actual numbers like 235+345+315 instead of using cell addresses like =A1+B1+C1. Not really a mistake because his character could be an idiot on spreadsheets. Just an interesting observation.

Questions

Question: Why didn't the filmmakers use the original movie's ending where Willard gets eaten?

Answer: Pure marketing. The original ending was the shot of Ben in the window, but test audiences thought the movie was too dark already. The rest of the end was filmed months later, with Willard stabbing a bean bag.
