How I think Guy Ritchie should have made this film...

Vinnie Jones as the communist sailor and Jason Statham as Madonna. And maybe Bricktop as a marooned WW2 admiral that took charge of island dwelling headhunters Colonel Kurtz style. And, as a twist that unveils itself at a point in the movie, Jason Statham was a hitman that was hired to kill Vinnie Jones. Cousin Avi plays the captain of a boatcrew dispatched to find any survivors. The storylines all converge, and Vinnie Jones gets away with the money, but it ends so that you're not sure if Jason Statham's friend answers the phone or knocks the shotguns into the Thames.

Great ideas. Your version would have been HOT!!! Especially the parts with Vinnie and Jason rolling around, passionately kissing in the ocean surf!

There is no God. Free yourself from the oppression of religion.

I'm just saying, this is a very different film for Guy.

But you bring up an interesting point. Could you imagine Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones being in a gay film? That's kind of like how Mark Wahlberg was offered Jake Gylenhaal's character in Brokeback Mountain.
