Nobody Knows Heaven Like Gary Busey
Gary Busey spent 7 minutes in heaven, LITERALLY, when he temporarily died on the operating table while neurosurgeons repaired his damaged brain after a serious motorcycle accident in 1988. Since Gary's frequent flyer miles include a trip to Heaven, he is an authority on the interior decorating style of God. (You ain't the only one, Colton Burpo.) So when it came time to shoot a scene in Heaven for that movie where Gary played a reincarnated Pomeranian dog, he refused to act in the scene, because the Heaven set didn't look like Heaven at all! Curtis Armstrong (aka Booger from Revenge of the Nerds) told this story when the AV Club (via Videogum) asked him what it was like working with the crazy sparkle of Hollywood:
AVC: Yeah, sorry for dragging this one up. But this was a movie where you appeared alongside Gary Busey, who plays a software tycoon who dies and is reincarnated as a dog. Busey’s such a weirdo force-of-nature that we have to ask about working with him.CA: It was just what you’d imagine. That’s about the best way to put it. We were shooting this movie—which is a horrible movie—and he was supposed to come back from the dead. And he of course, Gary Busey, supposedly had done this—he’d been in an accident and died and came back. He showed up on a set made to look like Heaven, and he looked around and said, “I can’t play this scene.” They were three days behind at this point. But Busey said, “It’s nothing like this. I’ve been to Heaven and it doesn’t look like this. That sofa’s all wrong. That mirror is ridiculous. They don’t even have mirrors!” It was ridiculous. He was completely nuts about the design of Heaven.
But then on top of it, one of the guys playing an angel, had also died and come back. And this guy got into an argument with Busey about the way Heaven looked! The two of them wound up coming to blows and they had to send everybody home. So there you go. That’s what we were working with.
Gary Busey fighting with an actor in an angel costume about what Heaven looks like IS what Heaven looks like.
No mirrors in Heaven means no Kardashians in Heaven! Heaven truly is Heaven. But why doesn't anyone ever come back from Hell? They're always coming back from Heaven. Do they even have sofas in Hell? Are Hell's sofas just giant CROCS? Do they have mirrors? If they do, does the reflection of a topless Pimp Mama Kris look back at you every time you go to style your hair with House of Dereon gel (the #1 hair gel in Hell)? Somebody please tell me if there's mirrors in Hell, because I need to know how many bottles of Windex to bring when I'm packing for my trip to my afterlife.

Hilarious. But people do come back from hell. There are several stories of it. Check it out.

Best Busey moment
"Shalikla!"
That is the funniest thing I have read in ages!
"Shalikla!"
I feel sorry for Gary, he's treated like a crazy so he acts like one but he's smarter than that and is quite funny in his own right! ;)

Does he have a Buseyism for Heaven is what I want to know!
He is truly verbalabusey!
I still have MKs gif of the cave-buseys!
When I was in film school at Univ of Miami in 89 one of my professors was the co-producer of the western BARBAROSA starring Willie Nelson and Gary Busey. He told a story about being on set. I don't remember the scene because I thankfully haven't watched it in awhile, but Gary Busey was delivering a monologue and went into a junkie spasm. They were behind schedule and over budget so they printed the scene...and to save his crackiness the effects team implanted a squealing cat just before his quirk to cover it. If you've seen the movie you will recognize the scene...it appears he was startled by a stray cat! Back then The Busey had a bad reputation being spread to new generations of film makers.

Gary is looking crazy. He is joining the ranks of Nicholas Cage, Jim Carrey, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen. These guys are losing control, and Gary might have had a more physically induced neurological reason, but the end result is the same.

It's ok to be a redneck by the way.. just don't yell git 'er done because we all hate that.
Ever since Celebrity Apprentice I've been giving Gary the side eye. It's really weird though because when he has to play some acting role he can instantly turn it on and function normally but other than that fruit loops.
I'd kind of like to think heaven is like an IKEA showroom. Except it's not crowded and everything is free. I love IKEA.
I'm also that bitch who would have been shining a high-powered flashlight in both Gary and the Angel's faces screaming "NO it looks like this! Run into the light, Carol Anne!!!!" because I have no patience for stupid coworkers and I feel sorry for the cast and crew who had to sit there and be put off schedule for that shit. The dead guy turns into a dog. It's not a fucking documentary!

*LMMFAO...his picture is beside the definition of "bat-shit crazy"*
Where's Mike?
I'd like to personally kick him in the shins for introducing me to the DD for which I am now aware of the most disturbing story I've read in a long ass time that made me actually heave.
*drums fingers*
Cant wait for Curtis to write his tell all book someday. He's also the voice of 'Snot' on American Dad and the Number 1 expert on the singer songwriter Harry Nillson.
What a couple of fucking tards, seriously I'm laughing like crazy typing this. Two guy that "know" to the point of fighting what heaven looks like. bawahaaaa!
I like Gary too, I love his special brand of "the ovens on but the bread ain't rising" type of crazy.
The worst thing is some poor bastards got send home and some people probably actually lost
money "because heaven doesn't look like this" wow lol!!!
Edit...
Does anyone know if gary was crazy before his accident? I was under the impression his batshit came on the heels of bouncing his head off the ground in his accident.
Ot a bit..
I actually had a bad motorcycle accident when I was 18, I was/am lucky to be alive and even luckier I didn't scramble my brains because I didn't have my helmet on properly and it flew off when I piled into the car. I flew an easy 20 plus feet and landed on my head.
I saw him on Celebrity Wife Swap. His toddler was more mature than he was. His wife seemed more like his caretaker than a partner.

Yep, Heaven is particular about it's decor which is why all gay men get in. They'll fix up heaven somethin' FABULOUS!
Gary is crazy but much of it isn't his fault. He's legit crazy.
