Varför var Bruce Campbell i alla tre Spider-Man-filmerna?

Det var ett par skäl till detta.

1) Sam Raimi (regissör) och Bruce Campbell är bra vänner och Bruce får vanligtvis cameo i sina filmer.

2) Det var ryktet före och efter Spider-man 3 Bruce Campbell skulle bli Mysterio eftersom Mysterio ständigt skyller Spider-man för hans misslyckade skådespelare och stunt spelningar. (källa)

Från en intervju med Bruce Campbell :

When did you first meet the Raimis?

• I was born in the same hospital as Sam Raimi – the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oaks.

  I met Sam in junior high – very briefly while I was with a friend of his – and he was dressed as Sherlock Holmes, playing with dolls. I thought he was a creepy weirdo, and I avoided him, officially, until drama class in high school, in 1975.

  Sam was very much into magic, and I was his assistant at a couple of magic shows. Then, I think Sam made a logical transition into film being the ultimate sleight of hand.

And this is what – late '60s, early '70s?

• Well, for Sam, I think he started doing home movies in the early '70s. I did them in the early '70s, and we started making – then I met other guys in our neighborhood who had been making Super-8 movies longer than us, Scott Spiegel being one of them.... Josh Becker, who was Sam's neighbor...

  ... so there was a weird group of about six of us, who wound up teaming up and making Super-8 movies on weekends – almost every weekend.

So, around this time, is it a bit apocryphal that you also babysat for the Raimis?

• Well, I took Ted [Sam Raimi's younger brother] to cello lessons occasionally, but I think they made me do that because I ate dinner over there all the time.

Just out of convenience, because you were always filming?

• Yeah. We'd shoot in Sam's living room, and eat dinner, and then whenever the Raimis were working and Sam was busy I'd pick up Ted at cello lessons. I think I've known Ted since he was about 9.

Så

• Sam Raimi och Bruce Campbell har känt varandra sedan High School
• De började göra filmer tillsammans på 70-talet.
• Bruce Campbell besökte Raimis så ofta de använde honom som barnpassare för Sams yngre bror;)
