Almost Drowned In A Pool
While filming Where the Buffalo Roam, Bill Murray got into it with Hunter S. Thompson. Murray was playing Hunter S. Thompson in the film, and the two were always trying to outdo each other on set. One time, they were competing over who was most Houdini-like. Thus, Hunter tied up the comedian on a chair and threw him into a pool! Obviously, Bill Murray almost drowned, but luckily, Hunter pulled him out.
Helping Wes Anderson Out
Director Wes Anderson has worked with Bill Murray time and time again. While they were working on Rushmore, Anderson hit some trouble with the budget. Even though Murray only was getting $9,000 for his part in the film, he offered a generous sum of money to Wed Anderson to complete the helicopter scene. Murray wrote Wes Anderson a check for $25,000. What a friend!
