Movie Quote(s):
- Frank Martin: What part of "You're fired" don't you understand?
-
Willard: Yes. Look at the rats...
-
Willard: They'll do anything I tell them. Frank Martin: Then tell them to get the fuck out of my office!
-
Willard's Mother: Oh, what is that on your hand? Willard: I... it's, it's soap. Willard's Mother: It's cooking oil! Oh, Willard, you're too old for that! When will - when will you find yourself a girl?
-
Willard: You stole this company from my father. It killed him and it killed my mother and now you're trying to kill me. You're trying to take my house. You made a fool of me in front of everybody. You made me hate myself. I thought about it a lot, hating myself. Well right now, at this moment, I LIKE myself.
Movie Trivia:
- During the title sequence, several images from Crispin Glover's book Rat Catching are used. In one shot a copy of Rat Catching - a red colored, hard bound book - can actually be seen.
-
All of the photos in the house of Willard's father, Martin Stiles, are of actor Bruce Davison, who played the part of Willard in the original movie (Willard (1971)).
-
The movie prominently features the song "Ben" by Michael Jackson, this song was written specifically for the movie Ben (1972), which is the sequel to the original Willard (1971).
-
Joaquin Phoenix and Macaulay Culkin both turned down the role of Willard.
-
There have been reports that the enormous rat Ben was not portrayed by a rat, which is not quite true. Ben was played by a giant Gambian Pouched Rat (cricetomys gambianus), a distant relative of the Norway rat (rattus norvegicus), the species in the film. Gambian pouched rats, while fairly docile, can grow to body lengths of as much as 10-17 inches from head to base of tail, with a tail about the same length again or longer, and generally weigh anywhere from two to over six pounds.
