While he doesn't look especially young in Octopussy, he doesn't look nearly as aged as he does this time, which what I always find so shocking whenever I watch the movie.<br /><br />As for Christopher Walken, I mean, what a great idea to have that actor play a Bond villain...and what terrible results.<br /><br />@thevoid: I agree that the song is catchy, although I think the title sequence that goes along with is pretty boring. I read up on the David Bowie involvement. It's not a bad reason to turn down the role, but you figure that nobody, least of all his agent, would want Bowie to get seriously injured while performing a stunt. Of course, this movie is so poor one wonders if Bowie's involvement could have possibly lifted it. Walken's didn't and I love that guy.edgarchaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874108948902089501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-68339399484266713982011-10-11T18:46:55.212-04:002011-10-11T18:46:55.212-04:00There's some moments in the film that were dec...There's some moments in the film that were decent but it wasn't a great film.<br /><br />What I heard about why David Bowie turned down the film was because he didn't want to spend all of his time on set watching someone do all the stunts for him.<br /><br />I love the theme song by Duran Duran but that's about it.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-53937600893265345392011-10-11T13:41:52.517-04:002011-10-11T13:41:52.517-04:00You're definitely right about this one.

What a mess! Nice job with the review.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.com
