Just watched him last night in Hard Target. I absolutely love that guy. My favorite role of his was in Dead Man. He should have been a huge star. Hollywood ripped us off...

I always wondered where the music score in a movie came from, and then I remembered Blazing Saddles. The music comes from the Count Basie Orchestra, somewhere in the desert.

I guess the only unanswerable movie question I can think of is: why isn't Laurence Fishburne a bigger star? He's a terrific actor, he's been in many blockbusters, but nobody ever talks about him.

I'll take a guess at it. Maybe the Actors Guild had some "rule" concerning either health ins, pension or both where you had to appear in X number of films per year to qualify.

His appearance in SATB is uncredited but his face was on the silver screen.

I always figured it was the script for What Lies Beneath.

Did the Rescuer mice ever go on any more adventures after the classic Rescuers Down Under 1990 movie? Disney just ditched those characters ever since. The movie tanked in theaters, opening to only 3.5m and earning 27m overall, versus a no doubt big budget. Great animation in the film.

What a great villain in Hard Target, agreed. He's had a good number of lead villain or character roles in movies in the 80s most of all and some of the 90s. I imagine he's in his 90s by now.
