Azaria seems stunned, and a little freaked out, as Pacino further elucidates his passion for women’s posteriors. It’s a wild moment that seemingly has no explanation in the context of the film – but it turns out that there is a behind-the-scenes reason for this random acting choice. If you guessed “cocaine,” give yourself a pat on the back.
According to Pacino, while it was never actually seen in the finished movie, his character Lt. Vincent Hanna, is supposed to be “strung out on cocaine throughout the film” and that’s where “some of the behavior comes from.” Apparently, the memo about Hanna’s Tony Montana-like habit didn’t make its way to Azaria who was “genuinely terrified” (on his 30th birthday, no less) when around take 70, Pacino went full Pacino.
Presumably this means that every other unhinged Al Pacino performance, from The Devil’s Advocate to Jack and Jill, was really a nuanced study of a character grappling with a secret addiction.
