interesting gene simmons note

Post by AceAlive1 »

this is about huge 80's movie, commando......




Screenwriter Jeph Loeb states that the film was originally conceived as a vehicle for Gene Simmons (who passed on it), and later scripted with Nick Nolte in mind to play the lead as an out-of-condition former commando struggling with the demands of his mission. Walter Hill was originally involved in the development process

:shock:


if he woulda taken this, kiss woulda been dead in the water if not on life support by 89

Gene instead of Arnie? No way!

I guess the script was different.

Maybe Gene wanted to,"let off steam"!!!! :roll:

(Only line I can remember from that crappo film)
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

very

The original concept was for an Israeli special forces–Mossad agent, who is sick of the continual death and destruction in the Middle East. So he quits Israel and emigrates to the United States, where he is forced out of his self-imposed retirement after the kidnapping of his daughter. This was modified and further adapted when Schwarzenegger was cast; some of the original dialogue can be viewed in the deleted scenes when Matrix says he regrets his past actions.
