If jw should have returned a third time


I wonder if Jw pepper should have returned a third time in the spy who loved me or his character wouldn't have been a good fit,

reply

I think it would have been quite funny to have JW interact with Jaws.

I have to say that JW was a joke that wore thin pretty quickly for me. Having him back in TMWTGG just made my weak Bond weaker.

I could just about go with him being the PA that Stromby drops in the shark tank because he wouldn't have to talk.

reply

Agreed. I could have handled JW in one scene in TMWTGG as a cameo, but his extended role just reused the same gags that worked in LALD. Glad he's never returned for round 3.

Sheriff Pepper was too one dimensional of a character to really get much millage out of. He's one of those "a little of him goes a long way" sort of people. The effect of this blustery, redneck southern lawman interacting w/ a British secret agent (and the inevitable "clash of cultures") is really only funny and intriguing once.

reply

i think probably twice was enough. He is funny in both the film he's in, but having him run into bond a third time would probably have been stretching it a bit too far.

reply

Does anyone think they were working toward giving JW a spin-off movie or a TV series (and that's why they had him return)?

reply

Three words: OH HELL NO!

reply

That could have been good.
