Marlon Brando in 'The Island of Dr. Moreau.' The actor's performance in the film became infamous for all the wrong reasons. While he could have echoed Michael Caine's response about his involvement in 'Jaws: The Revenge' —“I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific” — the adaptation of H.G. Wells' science fiction novel turned out to be more than just bad; it was a slow-motion disaster. The film featured Brando alongside the unpredictable Val Kilmer, and their notorious clashes created a spectacle as much off-screen as on. Brando was the big star of the movie that also starred the unpredictable Val Kilmer, and the chaos between their egos made for a disastrous result. But what no one anticipated was how unprofessionally Brando would act. He refused to memorize his lines, instead having them fed to him through an earpiece, resulting in a performance that was deeply disconcerting. Perhaps Brando's bizarre performance in 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' was a silent protest for not being allowed to rewrite the script as he’d hoped, a demand he had made clear multiple times. Those who managed to stay sane during the production describe Brando as absent, capricious, and seemingly more focused on sabotaging the film than preserving his dignity as an actor. The director, the experienced John Frankenheimer, did give in to one of Brando's demands: Moreau’s character would be covered in a white cream to supposedly protect him from the sun, a move that allowed Brando to disengage from the film entirely. His stand-in was the one who endured the long hours, while Brando floated in and out of the production. Despite the absurdity of his performance, it wasn't the most laughable in his career. That dubious honor belongs to his portrayal of a Japanese character in 'The Teahouse of the August Moon' — a role that epitomized the 1950s' golden age of political incorrectness.
