Try this on for size-- suppose instead of Jack Wade we got Felix back?? On light duty of course
B-)
Not at the cost of being with a repressed little boy like CARVER!
That's true in the case of LTK's US box office performance, but not TLD. It took over $190mil worldwide placing it third (at the time) behind FYEO and MR.
Even LTK fared quite well at the international box office but at a time when the US market was so important, it was certainly an under performer.
Things have changed since of course and now the US box office is no longer the be all and end all.
Well said. We all know LTK underperformed in the US market, but to claim TLD wasn't successful is pure fiction. It was not only commercially successful but well received by many critics in the US, who welcomed the fresh new take on the character from Dalton.
Dalton not handsome? Shurely shome mishtake!
Pam in TND would have been much better than Paris. But Monica Belluci would have been even better still!
Dalton would have rocked in both films, obviously.
I think 4 films for Dalton would have been enough. Apparently EON wanted him to sign on for 3 at the time of GE though - which he gave as one of the reasons he stepped down from the role. He did not want to commit to doing that many.
All this is very interesting speculation, but then GE would have been a very different movie. Two casting changes, especially these two, would have changed the tone deeply. And add Felix Leiter and it is a completely different movie.
... a much better one!
Wade is such an awful character. A throw back to the worst elements of the Roger era.
And it was a weird decision to use the same actor as had played the villain in TLD. He Joe Don Baker must have been bessy mates with EON.
In TND he's a bit of a nothing part though and I can see why people don't like him here.
Still...I'd take Wade over some of the lesser Felix's (yes you John) anyday.
I always hate it when an essentially British movie plays on the loud American oaf stereotype. It's embarassing.
Impossible to say which is worse. Equally annoying for me.
If Baker were in a Dalton movie you'd say he sucked.
Infact, that is exactly what you have said previously.
When Dalton faces off with him at the end (in a good scene) you almost go "oh yeah...I forgot about him".
Just do it!
