I see all these posts about how people love Vic Morrow and how sexy he is but where's the love for Adam Roarke? I think he's a whole hell of a lot sexier than Vic Morrow or even Peter Fonda! I found his character to be very genuine and gentle. I thought his best scene was where he stood up for Mary (aka Susan George) after Larry (Peter Fonda) pushed her down. I liked his acting and thought he did a better job than Peter, Vic or Susan! Come on people say you love Adam Roarke!

I thought Roarke was even better in the scenes where he wasn't speaking. He had a great screen presence and gave the best performance in the movie.

I thought Roarke was great too, but what really gets me is why doesn't PF say anything about him on the behind the scenes featurette on the DVD. He's dead. Can't PF give him some props???

Yes he was the epitome of the "quiet, cool dude".

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Roarke is for sure the best thing in the film.
