Oliver Stone Blamed Robert Downey Jr. For “Ruining” ‘Natural Born Killers’ With “Slapstick Bull—”
For the 30th anniversary of 'Natural Born Killers', Oliver Stone revealed a twisted piece of Robert Downey Jr. improv that made the final cut.
Stone recalled directing the actor in the final scene for a recent oral history by Esquire, revealing it was Downey’s idea to dip the front tails of his white shirt in fake blood and pull it through his pants zipper. Natural Born Killers stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as Mickey and Mallory Knox, a homicidal couple that goes on a cross-country killing spree, becoming a media sensation along the way. Downey played salacious TV journalist Wayne Gale, who chases the biggest story of his life while reporting on the pair’s killings, only to become the news in the film’s twisted finale.
