Cheers!

Then VHS happened — and it became immortal.

Behind the camera was a different story: a giant who physically couldn't lift anyone, a leading man who filmed half the movie secretly in agony, an actor genuinely knocked unconscious on set, and a sword fight so good it was choreographed by the guy behind Darth Vader's lightsaber duels.

This is Are You Shitting Me? — something I learned while avoiding real responsibilities. Hope you're drinking a beer.
