Guy just plain didn't care if people saw him like that. I love that! So, you are absolutely right. Robin and Marion was an interesting beast. Connery played a not very honorable Robin Hood, an older one back from the Crusades, and the Sheriff of Nottingham was played by his old Bond nemesis Robert Shaw, who turned out to be far more honorable than Robin. That was the only time I've ever seen a take like that. Originally Posted by seismic-2

You gotta love an actor who would be willing to play a role like that. RIPLast edited by achilles; 10-31-2020 at 05:05 PM.

BTW, did he ever host SNL? Or comment on that? I wonder what he thought about it, or Trebek for that matter.

I didn't see this in the theater but I did see and love it. I have my mom to thank for her love of "old" movies. Originally Posted by seismic-2

He does look strangely overmasculine and feminine at the same time though, the hairy legs and chest with the cold steel pistol in his hand, but yet with knee high F me boots, a pony tail, and...and...I'm not sure what it is that he is wearing.

The Zardoz look inspired DC comics' greatest Bronze Age character, Vartox.

What a fight Alex put up though. A good year and a half fighting one of the worst kinds of cancer out there.

He was always the scholar among the used-car salesmen of his vocation. I liked him a lot, and his last stand against cancer was inspiring. Originally Posted by achilles

Yeah, it’s sad they’ve both passed, but I can imagine them giving each other a good natured hard time in the afterlife. Originally Posted by achilles
