The Film: Despite his claims to stay away from studios, Carpenter let Warners be involved in this mis-firing comedy that was supposed to be a fun vehicle for Chevy Chase.

It flopped, though Carpenter recalls that he had a good time making the thing despite effects challenges.

Carpenter Chats: "We’re telling the story of a guy who is turned invisible and the terrible things he goes through. Many of those terrible things are funny, but they are motivated by reality—or what we imagine reality would be in that situation. They’re not fabricated for the sake of a gag," Carpenter said during the making of the film.

"Chevy has a tremendous ability to bring irony to his character without going over the top.

"The plot hinges on Nick’s ability to think fast, to adapt and to be resourceful; Chevy develops Nick’s personality before the accident and after to make the story seem plausible and involving."

Remade? Er, no.
