Director's 'Gigantism' Confession
- McTiernan later called the film afflicted by 'gigantism' and blamed shooting choices.
- He admits he shot to camera and left little room to re-edit, which hampered fixes.

- Bringing creators of the original style to lampoon it reduced necessary distance and sharpness.

- Paul Scheer watched Last Action Hero with his young children and observed their pure delight.
- Kids focused on spectacle and meta puzzles rather than the film's tonal flaws.
