The film hit cinemas in 1990 and became the second highest grossing film of that year, raking in an impressive $476.7 million worldwide.

When it came to the sequel, Daniel made sure to insert a special clause in to his contract that saw him pocket millions.
He said: “I knew they couldn’t do the movie without me, but I was also insecure, since I almost blew it the first time."
“I didn’t want to be too greedy when I loved the movie and the part so much.”
The actor bagged himself a whopping $1.5million compromising on a percentage of one percent on the profits of the film.
