Short description

Memoirs of an Invisible Man centers on Nick Holloway, a financial analyst whose life is upended when an accident at a research laboratory leaves him invisible. A government agent named David Jenkins learns of Nick's condition and sets out to capture him, intending to use him for his own purposes. Nick goes on the run, and Alice Monroe, a woman he has come to care for, becomes his ally as he tries to stay free and adjust to a existence no one can see.

John Carpenter directed the film, the fourteenth of the twenty-two features listed in his filmography, arriving after They Live and before Body Bags. Chevy Chase plays Nick, with Daryl Hannah as Alice, Sam Neill as Jenkins, and supporting turns from Michael McKean, Stephen Tobolowsky and Jim Norton. The screenplay was written by William Goldman, Robert Collector and Dana Olsen.

Released in February 1992, the film was a major commercial disappointment: against a budget of roughly 40 million dollars, it earned about 14 million worldwide. On TMDB it holds a rating of 5.9 from 679 votes, while a critics' rating stands at 4.7 from 35 reviews, placing the two closer together than is often the case.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's director appeared in a cameo role as one of the stormtroopers hunting Nick in a helicopter.
  • Nick uses the pseudonym Harvey, taken from the name of the invisible rabbit from the American film 'Harvey' (1950).
  • According to the plot, Nick's girlfriend made up his face so that it would be visible and the couple could appear in public. A rubber mask was used to depict the 'unnaturalness' of his appearance in these scenes, which is very noticeable when his 'face' is shown close-up, or when Nick turns his head in the scene where the helicopter appears near their country house.
