Mick Jagger...And Mick Jagger?


I'm surprised no one has said anything about this, so I'm afraid that maybe I am wrong or crazy or something... But check out the DVD cover for this movie. It has two pictures: one of Turner and one of Chas. Under the Turner picture it says "Mick Jagger" and under the Chas picture it says "And Mick Jagger", implying that Mick Jagger plays a dual role. But...this is not true. James Fox plays Chas, no? Am I seeing things, or have I misunderstood?

Both photos on the cover are of Mick Jagger.

Damn. You're right. I figured the second photo was of James Fox because he is normally billed in the movie, and the two faces do look pretty different. Then I found this image: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2508294656/tt0066214. I get it now. And I resisted so long from posting anything about this, hoping to make the discovery on my own without making a fool of myself. Well, time for Seppuku.



Explode, dogs, if you are not happy.

It's always puzzled me why they didn't use images of James Fox (looking like Mick Jagger) on the cover, because that's the point of the film.

The dvd packaging is horrendously cheap and boring.
The film seriously needs the Criterion Collection treatment.

reply

When the film first came out the publicity was exactly that - Mick Jagger and Mick Jagger & James Fox and James Fox as a kind of gimmic.

Really? Back then? Mick, while not a MAJOR fan. Can act.
