He even offered him a role in his next film, Magnolia. Though the shoot was difficult, Anderson had no complaints about Reynolds's performance. "When he put his martial arts moves on me, I said 'Don't make the mistake of pushing me, I push back.'" Jane laughed, and Reynolds unleashed some R-rated language before storming off the set.
