BFTD Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I recognise A Few Good Men, which is an excellent film that I remember well, but you've all lost me on the others. I've only seen one of the Mission Impossible films, if that's any help. It was the one where Tom rides a bike and wears cool shades. Can't remember anything else that happened in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Wasn't there a film where Tom played a character who was supposed to be 6' 10" or something daft? Bless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the Reacher books. Massive character full of muscles... Played by wee Tam on the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Reacher in the books is described as 6'5, about 100kgs, and built like the side of a house. One of the following pictures shows Reacher in the movies, while the other shows him in the TV series. Guess which one fans of the book preferred... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I'm guessing that was one of Tam's pet projects and nobody dared to point out that he was a wee bit miscast! Again, I know I saw that Jack Reacher film and quite enjoyed it, but I'll be buggered if I could tell you anything that happened in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, both Reacher films were pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Shawshank, the director was challenged to make it less obvious that he was taller than the others. Tom Cruise was interested in the role of Andy Dufresne. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
