Did You Know?
| Trivia | After seeing Aidan Quinn in this film, director Martin Scorsese hired him to play the lead central role of Jesus in the original Paramount Pictures development of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) (which later got canceled). Quinn has said: "Marty quite liked Reckless (1984). I mean, he said, 'I hate this kind of movie,' but he thought Jamie Foley did a real good job for a first try". See more » |
