(Chris Knight wore them all of the time.) 4) Val Kilmer's lead character's name is Chris Knight. 5 and 6) At the end of the movie the laser heats up a LARGE ball of popcorn and the popped kernals overflow from Professor Hathaway's (played by William Atherton) house. 7) "Willow" is one of Val Kilmer's earliest hit movies. 8) Warwick Davis costarred with Val Kilmer in "Willow", although Joanne Whalley got more credit. I'm still not sure why the actor whose character is the name of the movie did not receive top billing, or at least in the top 3. 9) All of these sci-fi movies, except "Alien", were released in 2000.
