- King hated Nicholson's performance in the 1982 thriller 'The Border', calling it 'completely off the rails' and 'a bizarre departure from his usual genius'.
- Despite being a lifelong Nicholson fan, King felt the actor's portrayal of a corrupt border patrol agent was 'a complete misjudgment' that 'just didn't work' for the acclaimed author.
