production, producer Dino De Laurentiis (I) (qv) announced  Oldmans involvement at a press conference "just so we couldnt deny  that he was in the movie". In the original theatrical release,  Oldman is uncredited but in the VHS and DVD releases his name was  added to the closing credits. However, in an interview with IGN  Filmforce, Oldman told a different story stating: "[W]e thought that  as Im unofficially the man of many faces, you know, of Lee Harvey  Oswald, Dracula, and Sid Vicious, and Beethoven, we thought that I  would be... Im playing the man with no face. So we just had a bit  of fun with it. We thought it would be great. The man with no face  and no name, and sort of do it anonymously. Its no secret that Im  in the film. We just had fun with it, really."
