Meanwhile, Jurassic Park’s director saw himself in a bit of a rough patch, as Steven Spielberg’s Hook was a mixed bag of box office results that were considered disappointing, even if they looked good on paper.
It was all thanks to the previous occasion Spielberg and Schwarzenegger saw projects take flight at the box office, as 1991 saw Terminator 2: Judgement Day propel Arnold and company to unprecedented success.
Historical hindsight aside, looking at the landscape of Hollywood at the time would have made Last Action Hero a safe bet.
