Yes! Yes! Yes! I have made this suggestion several times. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper with their iconic clothing and hat/helmet would be awesome. Throw in Nicholson and you have a real winner!

I love the Brody, Quint, and Hooper from Jaws idea. Would be expensive but I couldn't pass that up. Someone else said RP Macmurphy that would be amazing.

I was also thinking about the other idea that was throw around a while back about Eliot and ET 2 pack. That would be incredible to see. I know the man is looking for difficult/challenging projects that would great one to tackle!

Throw in the bike, that would be pretty iconic.

Oh I'd be all for Elliot and ET with the bike!

I like your thinking in regards to R. Lee. Emery. I was going to say 'great character', but he basically just played himself...and damn near burnt a hole in the screen whilst doing it. He was the one saving grace of that movie.

Another character cut from the same cloth I wouldn't mind seeing:

....got to come with surfboard though

....and if he brought this whacked out mentalist with him, then even better:

Kilgore is great but Hartman is still tops in my book. This is like the fourth time recently I'm hearing malcontent for Full Metal Jacket. It's just weird because I never heard much negativity about it before, and suddenly I'm hearing a lot in one week. I loved that movie from beginning to end and it's definitely in my top 10 of all time.

I would push for Hartman -- anything Kubrick. Heck, I would want a Dr. William Harford in Venetian mask, cloak w capelet et.

:goodpost:

Would be in for Kilgore as well. Apocalypse now deserves a nice figure

I'm for all 3!

In terms of Apocalypse Now, I really want this but I can't see it happening.

Well, I think it's a good movie. Possibly even half a great movie.

It certainly starts off sure handed, with Kubrick expertly chronicling the indoctrination and dehumanisation of recruits reshaped into tools of war, but falls badly into pure contrivance during the second act. It also doesn't help that Matthew Modine's 'range' is seemingly limited to two modes: 'mewling' and 'mannequin'.

Kubrick was simply far too late to the subject matter in my opinion. By the time he'd roused himself to give his take on the horrors of war, there really wasn't much noteworthy or original left to say. The hellish chaos of Vietnam, and the ruination it wrought on many a soul, had already been portrayed better on screen several times before.

To be honest, much of Kubrick's work leaves me uninvested in it though. I can admire it from a bravura, technical standpoint...but as a storyteller I find his style overly cold and detached and he repeatedly struggles to imbue his characters with anything approaching genuine emotion.

As a writer myself, story and characterisation will always be the aspects of a movie that leave the most indelible mark on me and the second act of Full Metal Jacket stumbles in both regards.

Just my personal take on it though...and certainly no more valid than anyone else's.

Personally - I have waited for a Gary old man Dracula (especially the young version in that classy grey suite and shades- as long as a "Dracula lifetime")

I will be all over this one heya!!!!!

We were talking about how epic gary oldman is. How he deserves an oscar. And he said he wants to revisit his crazy dog sculpt for young dracula

I may be in the minority, but I've never been the biggest fan of Coppolas Dracula. If the figure is as epic as I'm envisioning, it may tempt me, but I have a feeling I'll end up passing

Rainman is heading into Horror, nothing can stop him now . Oldman fits right into his genre especially if he does a lot of accessories. This will be a pain in the ass for us non VIPS to snag. Ffs
