  • Sudden Impact doesn't look like a Dirty Harry movie. It reminds me of Tightrope. Magnum Force is great. Maybe it's the best of them. The original is the original but the third act of the movie is not that great.
  • It's not an indie drama, that's my point! It was expensive. If they don't make more dramas like this... Well, you know the reason.
  • I don't understand you. The movie was expensive. Period. It was not an indie drama. You can almost make a Bond movie with 97 million ;)
  • The budget of Le Mans ‘66 was too high and It made more money in USA than the rest of the markets. It was ok. Yeah, it was a drama about cars, but it wasn't a cheap movie. Anyway, by today's standards it's a great number, but it was a 20…
  • Teri Hatcher and Brosnan. I never liked her and their relationship looked fake.

  • I don't think Tarzan's yell was on Fleming's mind. Anyway, Fleming's Bond was too serious, as Connery said it. The books are more pulp than anything.

  • It could be a self parody but less juvenile. Something like The man from UNCLE.

  • Olga is underrated. She deserves a better career. did you watch Hitman? She stole the movie.
