Oliver Stone thought Robert Downey Jr. was 'ruining' Natural Born Killers with 'slapstick bulls**t'


This week marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Natural Born Killers, the romantic crime action film directed and co-written by Oliver Stone.

The filmmaker recalled shooting the final scene when Downey Jr. got the idea to dip one of the front tails of his white button-down shirt in fake blood and pull it through the unzipped fly of his pants, like a bloody phallus. Downey played salacious TV journalist Wayne Gale, who chases the biggest story of his life while reporting on Lewis and Harrelson's characters' murder rampage, only to become the news in the film's twisted finale. It also features the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, Evan Handler, Steven Wright, Edie McClurg, Sean Stone, Russell Means,Lanny Flaherty, Balthazar Getty, Richard Lineback, Kirk Baltz, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Joe Grifasi, Everett Quinton, Marshall Bell, Peter Crombie, Grand L. Bush, Dale Dye, Louis Lombardi, Corey Everson, O-Lan Jones, and Jared Harris.
