Jeff Bridges played his own great grandfather in Heaven's Gate. Cimino had wanted Bridges so badly for the film that he actually wrote in a character related to the actor!
His character is named JB Meredith in the script. It was revised during production. If you pay attention to the credits, you’ll see that many of the immigrants are named after the actors playing them. They’re basically playing their own ancestors.
I liked both Heaven's gate and King Kong. Those two are films are always mixed reviews films. Some reviewers love them and others think they're rubbish. King Kong is entertaining but it suffers a bit from some corny special effects and goofy characters.
Dude, I’ve seen you take a dump all over HEAVEN’S GATE’s narrative and storytelling in another vid. Don’t say you liked it if you can’t even be fair to it.

He does not discuss of "Heaven's Gate"
His character in King Kong wasn't the same character in Heaven's Gate? Got it, and...?
Not unless his character is a highlander!
Did he even say anything about Heaven's Gate?
I think he said it took six months to film.

Both are good and well-done films that are still underrated....aside from some clunky F/X and edits in "Kong" i'll give u that

i guess jeffery doesnt want to talk about the animal abuse on the set of heavens gate
Not a good interviewer. Don't ask him to talk about two separate movies at once and have no specific question about either of them.
