- this movie is hilarious but i somehow fell asleep before the ending 3 seperate times and i still dont know how it ends
  
  Just wait until this guy falls asleep while watching Clue, and lets see his confusion after that crazyness!
IIRC he took a second mortgage on his house to fund it. He also has a cameo in the movie.

Harrison and Eric Idle were good friends, and Harrison even appeared in Eric Idles Beatles parody movie.
I'm not a Beatles fan, but George Harrison was a genius and a hell of an artist. I really wish he were still with us.
He helped out with Withnail & I too.
