Tim Curry had to wear a large, bull-like structure atop his head with three-foot fiberglass horns supported by a harness underneath the make-up. The horns strained the back of Curry's neck because they extended forward and not straight up. Rob Bottin and his crew finally came up with horns that were hollow and lightweight. At the end of each filming day, Curry spent an hour in a bath in order to liquefy the soluble spirit gum that served as the adhesive for his make-up. At one point, he got too impatient and claustrophobic that he pulled the make-up off too quickly, tearing off his own skin in the process. Director Ridley Scott felt both horrified and sorry for Curry, and immediately tried to find an easier way to make up his character. Since he didn't want Curry to put more make-up on his torn skin, he shot around him for a week. Scott also realized that it added a dramatic build-up for the character, so he re-shot some of his opening scenes this way. The footage of Curry in the opening to the U.S. Theatrical release was filmed before any of this took place.
