Jack Nicholson had been wanting to make a film of Wolf for a dozen years. In 1994, someone finally bit.
The shooting script contains the worst dialogue of any film during the '90's. Sample scene: Jack, a typical werewolf character who alternates between normal and hairy, depending on the phase of the moon, shows up at the New York flat of an old professor who researches lycanthrophy. The scene is played straight, in all dramatic seriousness. At one point...
- PROFESSOR: The demon wolf is not evil, unless the man he has bitten is evil. And it feels good to be a wolf, doesn't it?
JACK: Indeed it does.
PROFESSOR: Power without guilt. Love without doubt?...I have a favor to ask of you. I would like you to bite me.
JACK: What?
PROFESSOR: I said, I would like you to bite me...
Wolfman Jack
