Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn’t even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

    Wow, dumbass kid I was I never realized he played both roles. I guess he did a great job acting.

    Edit: also still trying to figure out who the third character the was, lol

    Edit 2: oh, it’s Fat Bastard isn’t it.

        Yeah, it occurred to me after I thought about his voice and that fake Scottish accent of his. Pre-Shrek Shrek.

      He also played the aptly-named Goldmember.

        Lots of corned beef in order to both gain weight and acclimate to the role of being a Scottish Fat Bastard.
