Only because you mentioned the legend Rutger Hauer: His two best roles were both mid 80s:
The Hitcher (1986)
Escape From Sobibor (1987)

This came out in 1982.

"i have never seen Jaws the revenge i've been told it was perfectly dreadful but i have seen the beach house that the check they gave me for that film bought and it is perfectly lovely"

I’ve heard the same quote but instead of a beach house, he said boat.

I took a movie in BR last spring and most certainly did not love the the script, but liked the paycheck. It happens.

The thing I am more referencing, and I think people are taking it easy to go just to the money was when actors have major creative differences with the project where money doesn’t seem to be the object.

I was primarily thinking about Flesh + Blood where Haur and Verhoeven took decades to reconcile afterwards. That wasn’t about money. That was specifically about the movie and Haur thinking it would hurt his career and the creative differences around that.
