It was indeed Robinson's last movie. He died DAYS after filming ended.
Considering what his role was in the movie that's a lil' spooky.
He was already dying of bladder cancer at the time. Frankly, I'm surprised he was able to film all his scenes, he was that bad off.
The only other example of this I can think of is Raul Julia as M. Bison in the 1994 Street Fighter movie--his incredibly hammy performance SINGLEHANDEDLY turned the film from terrible into a guilty pleasure. Seriously, it's worth watching for him alone.
I don't know if you've ever seen the British comedy Father Ted, but the creator who was also the main star died 24 hours after filming the last episode. It was his passion project and he literally died for it. That and the chain smoking. If you haven't seen it check it out. One of the best comedies ever.
British-style comedy is rarely my thing (Monty Python notwithstanding), but wow, that is an amazing story.
