    I rather like him with the thin mustache in Masterminds (1997)

    And of course it has a four-wheeler scene, cause P-Stew loves himself some off-roading.

      A late 90s cheap action flick with a terrible plot, equally horrible writing, bad acting, atrocious cast mix, a villain with an English accent and a mustache, skateboards, surfer hair, plaid, baggy jeans and a 90s alt rock sound track?

      Sounds absolutely amazing and I will have to add it to my watch list. Damn you, now I have to watch this thing.

        “You’re in big trouble!” “I’m always in trouble”. Oh we got a badass here.

        5.2 on IMDB, 49% audience on rottentomatoes. Godspeed.

        You’re most welcome. It’s as dumbly fun as it looks. And it has a young Pete Campbell from Mad Men!

          God damn it! … I completely glossed over looking up the young actor Vincent Kartheiser thinking he was a one off that wasn’t worth looking up.

          That little shit Pete Campbell is like a permanent thorn in society. I feel like punching my screen right now with his face on it.

          Now I really have to watch this thing.

      This movie is fun, just sit back and enjoy it. Patrick goes completely bonkers with his character at the end of the film. It’s glorious.

    I thought that was 16th-century European tyrant and powerful magician, Vigo the Carpathian

      Egon: “Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy.”

      Venkman: “Wasn’t he also Vigo the Butch?”

      Was anyone else disappointed to learn that Carpathia was just a geographic region and not some noble title that meant he’d butchered a thousand peasants or whatever?

      Guy might as well have been named Vigo from Orange Beach.

    For those who don’t know, depending on who you ask:

    Lynch was close to panic. Wracking his brains, he said, “How about that actor we met in London?” That actor was Patrick Stewart, whom the Dune producers had seen in Henry IV. Stewart flew straight to Mexico. But when he arrived, Lynch didn’t recognise him: Stewart had sported a vast beard on stage in London. Shorn of the shrubbery, he looked entirely different – initially, the director had no idea who Stewart was or what he was doing on his set. Stewart had much the same reaction to Sting. A ripple of excitement had passed through the production as The Police frontman arrived to play Feyd-Rautha. Stewart, however, was oblivious to the fuss. He asked Sting what sort of band he played in. “The Police,” said the singer. “You play in a police band?” replied an incredulous Stewart.

    Speaking of Gurney Halleck, Sir Patrick Stewart was awarded the role by mistake. In the rush to replace Aldo Ray at the last minute, Lynch thought he was hiring another actor named Patrick Stewart for the role.

    Also: apparently the Harkonnen outfits were made from old (used) bodybags.

    Also: Is it just me, or is the 1984 Dune more fun than the newer one?
