Dalton, von Sydow and Topol in this mess?

Or they are smart enough not to take their jobs so seriously they allow themselves to star in silly cheesy stuff? I vote for the latter.

And Sydow was to my knowledge, portrayed the world's only evil mastermind brewmeister. And did it brilliantly. To me that elevates him beyond obligatory Shakesperes and drama works

I like people who act like actors have some ability to see into the future and know how a movie is going to turn out just based on reading the script, and assume they just did it for the money.

I don't know about Von Sydow or Topol but Dalton LOVED making this movie and still talks fondly about it today.

FREEZE, YOU BLOODY BASTARD!

I enjoyed von Sydow in the movie. Dalton was OK. Topol looked good in the action scenes. But I didn't care for his dialogue. He sounded as though he was making too much of an effort to sound English. Rather than putting some expression into what he was saying. I don't know if any of the three actors felt that the movie was beneath them. But I think that von Sydow was enjoying himself from what I could see.

I always wondered about Dalton steeping away from the James Bond series.

So I get to play an action hero who always wins, with beautful women, in exotic locations, and make a &^%$ful of money? No, I'd rather not....

You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design

The supporting actors helped liven up the movie. They were perfectly cast in their roles and seemed to be having a lot of fun, especially Brian Blessed as Vultan.
