Recent videos show him to be fit, energetic, enthusiastic and more than ready if called by EON.
Really enjoyed The Foreigner. One of the pleasant surprises this year. And Martin Campbell definitely hasn't lost his mojo!
Great,understated film.
Kurt Russell is the MAN...one of my all time favourite actors.
Maybe you are thinking of the tv series VIKINGANE/NORSEMEN
No, it was definitely a movie. There's an English version of Vikingane too?
How about that! I've never heard/read anything about this. Love how they didn't try to hide their Norwegian accents - particularly Kåre Conradi.
They all massively exaggerate them, it is a gimmick to make their whereabouts recognizable.
Of course, that makes it all the more fun!
I don't know about anyone else, but I seriously want Mel Gibson to come back and play Parker (this time with the actual name) once more very similarly in tone to Payback. In fact, bring back the entire team from the previous production and rely on the tone of the theatrical cut of the aforementioned theatrical title.
While I like Payback: Straight Up, I definitely prefer the original cut rather than the director's cut, despite the latter being closer to the novel it was adapted from.
Ahh yes, I think the last time I discussed Payback on here years ago, someone mentioned Point Blank. Checked it out on their recommendation and thought it was excellent. Marvin is so cool in that, such a commanding presence.
Just seen a premium edition of Point Blank on Amazon with picture cards I am tempted, it's a great film ahead of its time in the genre. Marvin is a badass for sure, a great actor.
I am tempted I'll shop around to see if I can find it cheaper, the set looks similar to the Munich one I got it must be part of the same premium series.
I have the Bluray with both versions I have still not watched the alternate cut, definitely need to check it out and compare the two versions.
I knew I had spoken to you previously about you getting a special edition with collectibles of Munich - still jealous of that one! I can't recall, did you end up seeing it? I want to say you mentioned it was a blind buy.
Shockingly I still have not watched it, I will get round to it though I just seem to have too much other things to watch. I don't think I posted the set...
It's not the best of photos not great resolution, I'll will try and watch Munich on Friday in fact I have put it on top of my bluray player to remind me.
Avengers : Infinity War
Though I enjoyed Payback, I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Point Blank!
And Lee Marvin is far more impressive than Gibson. For me it's the rather awkward and at times silly humour that holds Payback from being a classic! Great score though!
Payback on the other hand is more straightforward, and adapts the novel's storyline really well for its then-contemporary setting. I'd love to see Gibson playing the Parker character one more time in the same style (and not "Porter" as depicted in Payback due Westlake's unusual vetoing of calling the main character that on-screen in one-off films).
The only two I didn't like were Made In USA and Slayground.
So far, here's how I rank the films:
1-Payback (1999)
2-Point Blank (1967)
3-The Split (1968)
4-Parker (2013)
5-The Outfit (1973)
