Jack Nicholson played two characters in Mars Attack, and both were killed. Know why?

Mars Attacks! Is a 1996 American science fiction-comedy film directed by Tim Burton and written by Jonathan Gems.

Based on the cult trading card series of the same name, the film was also inspired in part by a parody bit that Howard Stern did in the 1980s on WNBC. The premise involved Martians attacking and the only way to kill them was to play Slim Whitman songs to make their heads explode.

This movie has a star studded cast, including Jack Nicholson, Natalie Portman, Michael J. Fox, and Sarah Jessica Parker, among many others.

There was a dispute when it came to Jack Nicholson dying in the movie between Warner Bros and Tim Burton.

Warner Bros executives didn't like the idea of Tim Burton killing off Jack Nicholson's character in the movie. Mars Attacks! In response, Burton had Nicholson then play two characters and killed off both of them.
