I deeply wish The Man From Uncle kept going. Sure the whole Armor Hammer thing was pretty unfortunate, but geeze is that movie (and soundtrack) a fun watch

"Spectre" came out the same year. Man from UNCLE was by far the superior spy flic.

The Man From UNCLE is always my first choice for a movie that needs a sequel.

[-] Subtracty@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

They should absolutely recast Army Hammer with someone else and make another movie. The Man from UNCLE had too much going for it to fall into obscurity because just one of it's stars was a cannibal.

*Cannibalism fetishist

I get that is not a meaningful distinction for some people, but it's a pretty huge one lmao

He wasn't actually eating anyone (as far as we know) just jerking off and writing fanfiction about it or whatever.

Also accused of rape & physical abuse, which is a way bigger deal, but less attention grabbing

Recast him with Patrick Wilson from The Conjuring series and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Ooh, Wilson is so dryly funny, he was Agent Lynch in the A-TEAM movie and he was so much fun as a villain.

Guy Ritchie movies are often great. The Gentleman was so damn good.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

It was a blast.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Seriously one of his best movies, it was awesome!

Apple should have made a spiritual successor to the Man from UNCLE instead of Argyle. They could have even used the same cast, so Henry Cavill, Jon Cena, Sam Rockwell and Bryce Dallas Howard as the spy team. And Bryan Cranston as the bad guy and Sam Jackson as a cameo. It would have been a better movie than Argyle simply for the fact that it would have been a straight forward spy film instead of a “clever” story with a twist. Argyle had potential but couldn’t deliver after the first act since they wrote themselves into a corner with the dumb amnesia plot device.
