In Episode 13 of Secret Level, we wanted to talk about Rob Reiner’s 1990 film adaptation of Stephen King’s Misery! This is the first of a two-part episode and in this first part, we put a focus on the gruesome and terrifying hobbling scene. You know, the part when Kathy Bates brutally smashes James Caan's feet with a sledge hammer! This is easily one of the most cringe-worthy scenes ever shot for a movie and it was perfectly executed. We discuss how the scene came together, how it originally played out in the book, and all of the issues that it caused over the course of the development of the film. In fact, several actors passed on starring in the film because of this one particular scene. The scene was just too brutal and crazy for them!
