In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene

    Seems like they coulda used drones (not those drones, these drones) and no one would ever have known - and he wouldn’t have been stung.

      IDK it kinda sounds like they just fired the animal handler and gave him their $27K.

      Maybe it was over a few takes or something…

      Without knowing anything about it, I’d wager that it’s generally not a good idea to mess around too much with a hive.

      And picking out a bunch of drones in the amount used in film would no doubt rile up the swarm.

      The way they do it is likely the best, safest and least invasive way of using live bees in a film setting.

        You could be right, but they literally shove the drones out to die when winter comes so I don’t think they value them all that highly compared to the workers which are the stinging ones.

      Most of the time I only vaguely recognize all but the biggest stars from my childhood, but god damn did that movie cement Tony Todd in my brain.

    maybe he was still in character as Kurn and took the challenge as yet another pointless Klingon pain ritual.

      Have you ever put a large amount of bees in your mouth? I haven’t personally, but I can’t imagine the bees wouldn’t take too kindly to it.

        when reached for comment, one source close to one of the bees said “you knew he was a bee when you put him in your mouth”. they asked to remain anonymous in this grieving time.

    Got stung by about 20 bees once (amateur beekeeping incident, taught us to wear proper clothing). Had a fever for a couple days after and did not enjoy it a single bit. $20k though…
