He didn't want to be paid because he said he would be accepting blood money.

Such a good movie... First time I seen it was in my history class and I had to go get it because I liked it.

Great movie. I loved it.

Who ever told you he did not want to get paid was an idiot. Thats just some crap hollywood likes to tell people to glamorize themselves. Just like I heard Tom Cruise really climbed that mountain in Mission Impossible. I'm sure they would really let their multimillion dollar actor get injured during a movie shoot. I got money and wanted every penny of it.
