25 years ago, this science fiction film, a great failure in the box office, left a very mixed memory in San Francisco

The very late Robin Williams’ career is obviously not limited to a handful of films, of course, the cult: Good morning Vietnam, the circle of disappeared poets, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting …

Among his far less quoted works is the world according to Garp, a little surprising of the sensitivity in which the actor portrays TS GARP, atypical and sincere character, touch and vulnerable, deals with women who point out his existence, his happiness, anxiety, and his doubts.

“It was a mistake”

Released in 2000, a bilateral man is also often not quoted. Chris Columbia’s Third Cooperation with Robin Williams, who had previously worked together Madame doubtfire (1993) and nine months (1995), Bicentennial man Is the free adaptation and romance of Isaac Asimov’s short story, “Positronic Man”Co -authored by Asimov and Robert Silverberg. Or the history of a robot that has a sensitivity and dreams, first of all, to become a man in the 21st century.

“What I was drawn was the way that history refers to artificial intelligence and human behavior. There are thousands of robots that depict, but it has something special … curiosity, charm of charm.” Said Williams about the movie.

This did not prevent him from regret that he did later, just like his director elsewhere. “It was a mistake because at the time I realized that I wasn’t the guy I needed” Said the filmmaker in Podkast in early 2025. The film is also heavily sanctioned in the box office, unable to collect more than $ 87 million when it was worth 100 million.

A shot that causes a huge accident

The scenes from the film were filmed in the San Francisco City Hall in 1999.

One day, the film’s filming team caused automatic water to the building and flooded part of this historic place with 1135 liters of water. Flood caused by monster heat released by two projectors of 10,000 watts. The water on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building was spilled with water and crushed a very thick and luxurious carpet. The show that “It was very similar to Niagara Falls” Said the Sheriff’s Assistant sent to the scene.

The municipality team indicated the negligence of the filming team in terms of security. Tom AmyanoWho was very influential at that time Supervisory Board (A governmental organization that supervises the functioning of the country’s government) vigorously opposed the shooting within the City Hall. The latter’s enormous floods have proved it right …

Disney has made changes to honorable, sending employees to the building and offered free Poland for several floors, except for all harm, of course. But the municipal team was particularly distinguished by the incident, until it refuses to shoot for eight years.

Town Hall does not appear on filming until 2008, which is more than a completely symbolic work of city history, as it was Harvey Dairy Director Gus Van Santi; Biopik was dedicated to the first open -minded American politician who was elected official functions in San Francisco.
