    I guess all of Scott’s takes were rehearsals. He wanted to play the role straight and Kubrick didn’t argue. He just asked him to ham the lines up before the cameras were rolling. But they were rolling.

      More true facts:

      Peter Sellers was actually slated to play Major Kong, but because he sprained his ankle earlier in production he couldn’t fit comfortably into the mock-up cockpit of the B-52.

      So someone recommended Slim Pickens – and his name became househeld ever since.
