* LargeAndInCharge: A real life example, as Harlin is often literally the tallest person on set (Bob Shaye, founder of Creator/NewLineCinema, was hesitant to throw a then-unknown Harlin out of a pitch meeting for ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster'' because "he was ''huge'' and looked like a Viking"). He's a half a head taller than his ex-wife Creator/GeenaDavis, who at six feet tall often towers over her own co-stars.
