From trivia-
James Remar was Walter Hill's original choice for the role of Hickey, but the studio chose Christopher Walken for the part.
Well? Tough choice.
I think either would have been good in the role, but I love Walken with that hairstyle and ironically fiendish grin.

Im glad he went with Walken since he can be alot more scary on the screen than Remar. Remar is like a "cosy grandpa" type ffs...he wouldnt do this role as "the big scary" Mickey any justice at all.
~If the realistic details fails, the movie fails~
The year before Remar played one of the gang leaders in the opening scene in Judge Dredd so...I dunno about that.
