This would have been Peckinpah's Anti-"Wild Bunch". It would have been cool to see Peckinpah's take on paranoia and distrust, instead of his usual tough men sticking together through thick and thin, bound by honor.

The material just suited Carpenter so well. And if Carpenter hadn't been on board, would Kurt Russell have been involved either? It'd be a completely different movie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
