Okey cryboys...

I`m starting to getting tired by reading all this bi***ing going on.
Reading up on a subject might help abit before throwing out a random post about how much this movie sucks,how much this movie will suck or so on.

Here is the triviapart taken from IMDBs Trivia part:
Produced in order for Miramax to retain the rights to Modesty Blaise. Produced as a prequel to the popular spy comic strip, plans call for this film to be followed by more Blaise movies taking place during the timeframe of the comic strip.

- So why did they make this movie?So Miramax could retain the rights to the Modesty Blaisefranchise.And than movies based on the Comicbooks.Did we learn something here kids?This movie is only made to hold the rights for the Modesty Blaisefranchise.


When Modesty says, sarcastically, that she's 65, in "reality" she was telling the truth. This movie takes place in 2003 and in the comic Modesty was born around the year 1938. Exactly 65 years before 2003.

- A little treat in there.

All scenes are shot in chronological order.


Shooting took 18 days.

- 18days guys,18days!You guys would probably manage a few youtubeshots of your friends jumping from roofs,lighting on farts and showing their buggercollection on their bedpost within 18days.

Producer Ted Nicolaou was originally set to direct, up until a week before shooting, when Harvey Weinstein changed his mind and offered Scott Spiegel a chance to helm the film.


The film was actually produced in 2002 by Miramax but held for release for more than a year.


Since this film takes place prior to Blaise's exploits with The Network, the criminal organization she ran before becoming an agent for British Intelligence, the character of Willie Garvin, Blaise's right-hand man, does not appear. This is the only official Modesty Blaise adventure (comic strip, novel or film) in which Garvin does not appear.

- Not based on the Comicbooks than.

There is one major discrepancy between this film and the way Modesty's background is described in the novels and comic strips. According to the flashbacks shown in this movie, Lob, the old man who tutored Modesty, was not only a scholarly professor who knew seven languages and had a great general knowledge, but was also a martial arts master who taught Modesty advanced unarmed combat (despite the fact that Modesty, as a child, is also shown saving Lob from some thieving boys). In the novels and comic strips Lob was the intellectual tutor, but he was totally helpless and needed Modesty to defend him. Modesty learned unarmed combat at a later time in her life, picking it up various places including from masters in the Far East.

- Not based on the Comicbooks than.


The WGA-mandated writing credits for this film are incomplete. The character of Modesty Blaise was created in 1963 by Peter O'Donnell.


The first scene is based on a true story. In 1942 Peter O'Donnell was on a scouting team in what they then called Persia. Making sure the Germans wasn't going through there to capture the oilfields in the middle east. They were sitting under their camouflage tent one day and a 6 year old little girl (probably homeless) was looking at them from a small distance. They gave her a can of McConnochie's and then she left. They never heard from her again.

- Probably the only part related to the Comicbooks.
