Oddly, Niven played Dusty Miller who in the book was actually American.
Quite right too. All Americans apart from the Native variety had English accents once upon a time. :mrgreen:

Anyone got any thoughts on films that they could really try and bugger up that they haven't already?

Get Carter would get my vote...

Nah, it'd be an American Baseball team escaping from a Vietnamese POW camp. Sort of Joe Di Magio on Viagra. Stallone already grabbed most of the glory in the original.

maybe against the Iraqis? Could have Mohammed Saeed Kazim al-Sahaf (Comical Ali) doing the commentary - "the motherland has nothing to fear from Ronaldinho, we will win at least 18-0" etc. ad infinitum.

Have they heard about Sharpe yet? With John Wayne and Victor McLaughlin gone and Chuck Heston about eighty they'd be struggling for convincing heroes. "Go on Boney, make my day" :twisted:
