$27,000 does not seem like enough money to endure 27 bee stings simultaneously.

Movie is from 1992, so it would be 60k today. Still not enough considering what famous movie actors make.
I'd do it every day this week
They signed him a blank cheque. I bet he was doing everything he could to get stung.
Dude should have asked for at least 10k/sting could have walked out with a cool $270,000 instead
For $270,000 I will let 27 American honeybees sting me. No Africanized bees allowed!
Dude I’d do this for 10% of that fee. Sure stings hurt, but not that much and it passes.
That might depend on one's pain tolerance levels, idk.
True.
I will say it’s not worse than a tattoo and I’ve paid money to sit there for 6 hours being tattoo’d.
Not saying I’m tough, as I’m pretty soft, more that often it’s the thought that is worse than the thing.
My tattoo hurt worse than a single bee sting of course, but idk about 27. My tattoo stopped hurting the second they stopped needleing me, but stings continue to irritate. add the facts if you're not sure how many you're going to get and when exactly they will occur, And idk if they're comparable
I think that's on top of the regular salary

IDK it kinda sounds like they just fired the animal handler and gave him their $27K.
Maybe it was over a few takes or something…
Candyman gave me nightmares for 8 years and I still remember the movie. Dude got underpaid.
maybe he was still in character as Kurn and took the challenge as yet another pointless Klingon pain ritual.
kurn was the best. his outing in deep space nine was a let down, i love kurn.
They paid him "a one thousand dollars" for every sting? Pretty good deal.
Why did they sting him?
Have you ever put a large amount of bees in your mouth? I haven't personally, but I can't imagine the bees wouldn't take too kindly to it.
To earn him $1000, of course.
He gave them a cut of the money.
Because it was in their nature :(
when reached for comment, one source close to one of the bees said "you knew he was a bee when you put him in your mouth". they asked to remain anonymous in this grieving time.
Holy shit is that Pure Luck? Haven't seen that shit in 30+ years
Got stung by about 20 bees once (amateur beekeeping incident, taught us to wear proper clothing). Had a fever for a couple days after and did not enjoy it a single bit. $20k though...
Poor bees which were lost during this kind of activity.
Are you saying "beads"?
Beesszzzzzzzzzzzzz!
That is pretty interesting. If only the movie wasn't so terrible 😔
What!? Kid me really liked it. I thought Great Value Sharon Stone did a good job too.
