    “We didn’t plan it that way, but Danny DeVito drove to work in a car shaped like a duck. He was already in makeup from the previous day and he just started driving all over the set. Luckily, we were already filming so we just kept the cameras rolling…”

    one of those scenarios which makes you wonder if they chose danny devito to play frank reynolds, or if they got the opportunity to work with danny devito and wrote frank reynolds based off of him.

    this is frank reynolds behavior

      They were told by the Studio that they needed to add a veteran actor to the cast for season two, Danny was one of the choices so obviously they picked him

      You’ve got a point there.

      I watched Deck The Halls recently and he’s basically Frank in that.

      Frank isn’t a character, it’s just Dan

        I have always liked Owen Wilson’s acting but after meeting him I realized they he isn’t really acting in most of his movies, he is just delivering lines as himself. I still like his movies it was just kind of a neat realization.

          “Wowh” pouty lips. I feel like I’d like him as a guy (no idea about any controversy) but such predictability is just boring imo.

        I just watched that movie for the first time last holiday season, and it was easily my favorite that I rewatched at least twice.

        As a big Always Sunny fan, I agree with you. Frank didn’t go full warthog in the movie, but definitely still Frank but in a suburban setting.

      I sure hope Danny Devito isn’t as racist and sexist and bourgeois as Frank.

    Given the opportunity to drive a six wheeler duck mobile up a flight of stairs? I’d do that shit for free.

      Me too - it looks like real fun. Hell, they would have to take a break for an hour or so, to make sure i have enough time driving around the DuckMobile. Only way to get me to stop would be to offer the BatMobile as a replacement (until the DuckBatteries are charged again, then it is Quacking Time again!)

    his duck vehicle?

    If Danny Devito didn’t already own a duck vehicle before the movie, nobody tell me.

      I’ve been thinking about this, I think it’s just the chassis of an argocat with a duck pedalo attached

      As in, pretty easy to make

      The movie is Batman Returns (1992)

      If you’re looking for verification that this is true, exhibit A is that this is Danny De-goddamned-Vito

    Wasn’t there also an incident filming this where the thickness of the suit saved him from a monkey ferociously attacking his balls? I’m remembering this story from somewhere LOL.
