He’s bland but likeable and handsome, and certainly has the necessary martial arts abilities.<br /><br />Kadeem Hardison was my favourite person on <i>A Different World</i> and I loved it when he and Tracey Gold of <i>Growing Pains</i> teamed up to do a special half-hour preview show of the <i>Ducktales</i> movie in 1990. The idea of him having to be the loudmouthed comic-relief sidekick in an action movie sounds painful...it was hard enough to watch him as the long-suffering ghoul in <i>Vampire in Brooklyn</i>, though at least he got a happy ending there. When they put him in this movie I guess they were going for a Chris Tucker type of character.<br /><br />John Pyper-Ferguson was in several Vancouver productions including <i>Ski School</i>, <i>Hard Core Logo</i>, <i>The X-Files</i>, and <i>Fringe</i>. He’s great too.Felicity Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983958177951363405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-81927464800158718592017-11-27T21:36:14.153-06:002017-11-27T21:36:14.153-06:00According to the commentary track, some dialogue w...According to the commentary track, some dialogue was improvised, mostly by Murphy and Hardison.Marty McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084642122976337263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-69883625686544466122017-11-27T20:59:07.879-06:002017-11-27T20:59:07.879-06:00Rented this one as a video cassette back when it w...Rented this one as a video cassette back when it was brand new, and it blew my mind. Had to watch it a couple times just to take in the action choreography. <br />Heard somewhere that most of the dialogue was improvised. Do you know if there's anything to that?<br />Always expected Dacascos to become a big star. He certainly deserved a little better than he's got.
