Even if Hook or The Revenge of Captain Hook is a feature film that Steven Spielberg still regrets making today, this unique interpretation of the Peter Pan myth by Robin Williams has shaken the childhood and memories of many viewers. 90s.
Among the many features of this timeless tale, we can cite the absolutely brilliant soundtrack of John Williams, the extraordinary Dustin Hoffman in the role of Captain Hook, the abundance of legendary scenes that have reached reference status, but also memorable cameos.
Did you spot this star in the movie?
With a star-studded cast of four – Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, as well as Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins and Maggie Smith – Hook offered a low-key yet notable appearance from several other notables.
So the most observant of Spielberg’s film will notice a young Gwyneth Paltrow as Wendy, a Scotland Yard inspector played by Phil Collins, or even two Londoners in love played by… George Lucas and Carrie Fisher. .
But the most striking cameo is Glenn Close.
Never noticed the cast of Fatal Connection and 101 Dalmatians in Hook? It’s normal. Because it is well hidden. And yet… he plays a character that every fan of the feature film will definitely remember.
The Pirate and the “Owl Chest”
40 minutes into the film, a well-known American actor – wearing a beard and suit for the occasion – plays a pirate accused of betraying Captain Hook. The latter, after forcing him to admit his lack of self-confidence, places him for a brief stay in the wretched “Bobo’s Chest”, a trunk in which the poor sailor is forcibly confined, before being joined there by several scorpions.
This unfortunate sailor, who bursts into tears before Hook before his terrible punishment, is none other than Glenn Close, as I told you before.
