good thing they passed on Russel, might not have gone on to star in Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York and The Thing. Also watching that video and the dialoguie read like that you really get a sense how awful the script really was


edit: whoops this was meant to go in the movie section

The Thing without Kurt Russel wouldn't have been as sexy. Need his sexiness to balance out the assload of gore and suspense.

I really think it was the writing and other actor that ruined it. He didn't really fit Solo's style, but it wasn't bad.

no, it was the script:

"I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. "

I dunno, that seems like a real zinger to me.

I saw this a few days ago. He was too young and didn't have any Snake Plissken awesomeness yet.

It's weird that you post this now just as Escape From NY is on TV...

Thats just how they talked in the 70s in the future.
