McDowell has a massive filmography after he did Caligula. How did it destroy his career?
The version I originally saw had all the hardcore scenes and some violence modified. It was soft core sex\porn only. It lost around 10mins and actually makes it a better film. It still runs for around 2 half hours.
His post-Caligula career seems to mostly consist of TV appearances, cartoon voice overs, straight to DVD schlock, and uh...Tank Girl, so yeah I think "ruined" is pretty accurate. Though his drug abuse probably didn't help either. McDowell always had work though, regardless of what it was he starred in. Even after A Clockwork Orange, he was never really a mainstream actor. He was I suppose what is called a character actor, not so much generic leading man material, unless it was something outlandish and over-the-top, which I would say suited his occasionally manic and perhaps even smug on-screen persona. His style didn't sit well with superstar actor material. |
