i still do not understand what possessed so many well-respected actors to do the spy kids movies like
did they pay really well? did you want these beautiful, terrible movies to be a blemish on your career forever?? why
antonio banderas did so many high-profile movies then in spy kids he looked like this
tony shalhoub has won multiple emmys but he did spy kids and
even fucking george clooney wtf
steve buscemi is pretty goofy but still
salma hayek’s pigtails in this wow
elijah wood was the lead in a movie that’s tied for the largest number of oscars of all time and he played a character creatively named “THE GUY”
sylvester stallone is like a cultural icon and he played not one but FOUR ridiculously dressed weirdos
alan cumming is the only one i can understand
Are you saying spy kids wasn’t a masterpiece my fellow blogger???? Source?????
i will not tolerate this slander
“When I was doing ‘Spy Kids,’ the Weinsteins asked me […] ’Why are you making the characters Hispanic? It doesn’t make any sense, isn’t this supposed to be for everybody?’ ‘Well, it’s based on my family.’
[…]
People have come up to me for a lot of years since and said ‘You changed my kids’ whole life. They see little kids who are Hispanic that are spies and they saw your name as the writer and director and you changed their idea of what their future could be.’ The ripple effects of that one movie were enormous.”
- Robert Rodriguez (x)
Also maybe sometimes actors like to play roles that are silly and fun? I can’t imagine any of these actors didn’t know exactly what they were getting into and, based on their performance, didn’t have a good time
CRITICAL INFORMATION: The entire concept of Spy Kids came from Robert Rodriguez’s desire to make an action film he could watch with his kids. With intentions like that, it’s pretty easy to understand why so many famous actors with kids of their own would be interested in it.
Let us not forget the Machete cross over…
Yeah Spy Kids canonically takes place in the Machete universe it’s wild. Also all of those movies are national treasures.
