CHARLESTON, S.C.: The family of Sergio Jimenez II has won a whopping $262.5 million judgment against Chrysler over a 1985 accident in which their son was thrown clear and killed after the rear hatch in the family's Chrysler minivan opened on impact. But TIME's William McWhirter says that figure is likely to be drastically reduced on appeal. "The company has an eight lane interstate of appeals available," he says.

...fact, Willis will be seen in lots of new guises, including a fat-suit, blond and ponytail wigs, fake noses and geeky glasses. And not one of his trademark Die Hard "Yippee-ki-yays" in earshot. According to the director, even the actor seemed thrown by his villainous new persona. "It slightly confused him a couple of times," says Michael Caton-Jones, who spent part of last week reshooting the end of the film. "We had to stop and talk it out." Whether the Many Faces of Bruce will be able to get fans of the original movie into theaters...
