THC: Kevin Costner made a big fuss about how taking that shot out of the film was a desecration of the artistic vision of the film.
JR: I don't know what his problem was.

It's just stupid, you know? I mean, he should have just trusted Sam Raimi to make a good movie, and he tried to subvert Sam's power in the movie and I was just kind of let down by it. I thought he was more of a team player than that, frankly, to use a sports analogy.
