Synopsis
In this remake of the 1962 classic, legendary director Martin Scorsese collaborates once more with Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in this terrifying chiller where a defence attorney (Oscar-nominee Nick Nolte) and his family are targeted for elimination by the deadly ex-con he failed to get off the hook. De Niro devours the villainous role of Max Cady, earning an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the psychotic serial killer. As powerful as the original, with tension and suspense that doesn't let up, "Cape Fear" is a thrill-a-minute experience. Original cast members Gregory Peck appears as Cady's lawyer; Robert Mitchum who played Max Cady appears as Lieutenant Elgart, and Martin Balsam as the judge. Soundtrack includes Professor Longhair, Guns 'n' Roses, Aretha Franklin, Jane's Addiction and The Cramps. Trivia: Robert De Niro paid a dentist $5,000 to make his teeth look suitably bad for the role of Max Cady. After filming, he paid $20,000 to have them fixed; scene in the high school auditorium was totally ad-libbed by Robert De Niro and Juliette Lewis, and done on the first take. Director trademark: Martin Scorsese's mother appears as a fruit stand customer.
