Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Brian Trenchard-Smith commented that The Frenchman was played by Michael Masse, an American actor, who was born in Kansas City to French parents. Masse convinced him at the audition that he was French because he insisted the part would have to be played by a genuine Frenchman and he never broke cover on or off the set till the very last day of the 18-day shoot. more
Quotes:
Von Falken: Where is your officer?
Gunn: Well, our Captain is British, sir. You know how the British are. After a little action, they like to wash up before teatime.

Better Than Expected, 3 November 1998
8/10
Author: harry-m from Ft Lauderdale, Florida, USA

Although I am generally against remaking classic movies, I must admit that this TV-movie starring Jim Belushi was very well done and was far better than I expected. And Belushi's fine acting was a delightful surprise, too. I recommend that you see the original with Humphrey Bogart and compare. You'll enjoy both.
