Post an obscure and pointless fact

[Runwildboys]

I think McQueen would have changed the entire feel of the movie. It could have been amazing. Dreyfuss was a fluid actor with a common touch. McQueen would have brought his own personal stamp much like John Wayne did in his movies. If Steve McQueen builds a mesa with mashed potatoes, you know something's going on. Richard Dreyfuss? Oh, that's just Richard being Richard. The only thing I'd have a problem with is McQueen didn't seem the yielding type to submit to aliens for what ever probing they had up their sleeves (not without a gun and several rounds of ammunition). You saw the people getting off that spacecraft. It's the same look people have when leaving the proctologist's office.

Except they didn't have to wait a week for the results, so they had slightly satisfied grins.

Are you referring to the massive wealth the Vatican has that a large sum of it was basically stolen (the crime) from others in the name of the church?

McQueen woulda went straight up Bullitt on those aliens at the end...."you work your side of the galaxy...I'll work mine."
Id love to have seen him do it but Dreyfus was great in that role.

Trying to remember if Richard Dreyfuss (sp?) did a lot of crying in the film. I do recall him doing his fair share of gasping and grinning hysterically though.

I cannot imagine McQueen sculpting and landscaping a mountain on a family dining table either.

the deleted scene when Dreyfus is sitting in the shower with his clothes on...water running.
for some reason,after reading the script...McQueen thought the character was a cry-er....or crier....how ever you spell it.

It's the result of huge numbers of visitors and a tiny Population (less than 1,000).
