Lance Henriksen Has Severe Doubts About This Cat’s Professionalism
So there’s going to be some movie called The Witches of Oz. It’s a sequel to The Wizard of Oz, it’s about a grown-up Dorothy moving to New York and realizing Oz wasn’t some dream when the Wicked Witch lands in Times Square and yadda yadda yadda. I don’t care right now. Maybe another day I’d have something to say about a Wizard of Oz sequel, maybe I wouldn’t, but the fact of the matter is the entire movie cannot possibly be even a tenth as entertaining as this outtake of Lance Henriksen, who plays her uncle Henry, getting punched in the face by a cat. I repeat: A cat punches Lance Henriksen in the face. I’m honestly just going to bed, because I don’t want anything to stop me from thinking about the majesty, glory, and cat-punching for the next seven or so hours. (Via Monsters and Critics)
