Will Smith’s Steampunk Western Remake Is Even Weirder Than We Realized

Following his successes in Independence Day and other films, Will Smith became a major action star in the 1990s. As his popularity grew, he explored different genres, including science fiction, and sometimes took on unusual roles. In 1999, he appeared in a film that became one of the biggest box office failures ever made, and it’s still remembered for how strange it was. Despite the film’s financial struggles, the story behind one particularly infamous scene is almost a movie in itself, and the comedy director involved shared the details shortly after the film’s release.
