Did he not like the script or Stallone or Harlin or was it something else? Maybe he didn't want to do an English accent :)
Not that Lithgow was bad, but I think Walken would've made an even better Qualen.
Has Christopher Walken ever done a physical role in his career?
For my latest movie reviews and news:http://www.hesaidshesaidreviewsite.com/
A View to a Kill...sort of.
shareThe Vietnam scenes in The Deer Hunter were pretty physical which involved Walken. But then again that was in 1978 and Cliffhanger wasn't until 93. Maybe the idea of filming a majority of a film up in the mountains didn't sound too appealing.
shareAin't know one better than lithgow!!
share"Has Christopher Walken ever done a physical role in his career?" He's a trained dancer who has danced on broadway, jazz and classical, what's your idea of a 'physical role' idiot
shareHas he ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light
shareLithgow was perfect. Brilliant one-liners, and surprised me with the fightscene at the end. I know its only acting, but it was weird seeing him go toe to toe with Stallone
shareExcept that it was weird seeing Stallone beat up an old man who was saying things like 'Now we've just got each other!' (I think Stallone actually bites him in response to that rather intimate line).
shareHahaha.
I love his lines. They're cheesy and funny, but suit his psychopath character really well.
