Mickey Rourke as St. Francis of Assisi
I'll tell you one thing - Rourke has several nude or shirtless scenes in this movie, and I learned that St Francis had some pretty good pecs and shoulders on 'im. I'm guessing he was probably the most buff saint.
Not to mention the most tattooed.
This film shed a new light on the dimensions of the man: mystic, servant of God, gym rat. I guess the vow of poverty doesn't extend to memberships at Gold's. You have to rent this movie just to see a couple minutes of Mick full of beatific grace. Yup, he was full of it all right.
