>Nick Nolte and Harrison Ford were considered for Neil McCauley in case Robert DeNiro declined.>Jeff Bridges and Mel Gibson were considered for Vincent Hanna in case Al Pacino declined.>Keanu Reeves was offered the role of Chris Shiherlis, but declined. Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt were approached, but both asked for too much money. Christian Slater and Jon Bon Jovi tested for the role.>Ted Levine was offered the role of Waingro, but declined in favor of playing Detective Mike Bosko. >Michael Madsen was originally cast as Michael Cheritto, but dropped out. Don Johnson and William Petersen was considered before Tom Sizemore was cast. Johnson was also considered for Roger Van Zant before William Fichtner was cast.>James Caan and Kris Kristofferson were considered for Nate before Jon Voight was cast. >Jean Reno was considered for Sammy Casals before Wes Studi was cast.>Differences in the original script include Hanna having a cocaine habit, McCauley’s girlfriend Eady being Chinese, Casals getting killed in the shootout rather than Bosko, and Hanna and McCauley gunning each other down in the ending and dying side by side.
maybe the single most overrated film on this board, besides the robbery scenes it is fucking awful
>>215510897>Nolte as McCauley>Gibson as Hanna>Depp as Shiherlis>Peterson as Cheritto>Reno as CasalsWould've been kino.

>>215510897>Hanna and McCauley gunning each other down in the ending and dying side by side.Kino?
>>215512913Nah, Hanna winning is better.
>>215510926it’s 2x the film collateral is which is also rated highly on this board. But the assasination of Jesse James is probably the most overrated /tv/ core film
>>215510897>>Nick Nolte and Harrison Ford were considered for Neil McCauley in case Robert DeNiro declined.>>Jeff Bridges and Mel Gibson were considered for Vincent Hanna in case Al Pacino declined.we were robbed of kinoinstead we got those spaghetti hacks
>>215510926it's a good film if you fast forward anytime a woman is on screen>>215510897the headshot with cop irons is kind of crazy though I guess it's less bad to use cop irons than army irons because a police gun would likely have a closer zero. although I guess the offset wouldn't be that much, like less than 2.5 inches anyway
>>215510897Nolte would've been good as Neil, not as good as De Niro thoughNeither would've bee as good as PacinoReeves, Slater, and Bon Jovi (??) would have been bad. Depp and Pitt would work, especially DeppLevine would've been good as Waingro no doubtAll of those would have been good as Cheritto, probably better than Sizemore. Johnson as Van Zant would've been cool tooKristofferson I can see as Nate. Caan not reallyCasals is too small a role for this to matter imo
>>215513477Harrison Ford is a shitty actor
