Picture of Christopher Walken in a scene!


In the scene where Wolfgar goes to see the plastic surgeon in Paris, the camera is panning over pictures of different faces before the doctor, Wolfgar and Shakka come into frame. One of the pictures is of a young Christopher Walken.

I had a look at that scene with the photos. That is not Christopher Walken.

I beg to differ. Look at the eyes more carefully. I know that's him. Plus he's from New York where it was filmed.

Perhaps other readers of this post can also have a look and see what they think. I observed the photo several times already. It isn't him. Yes, they filmed it in New York....and Paris, and London. Yes, he's from New York. That doesnt mean anything. That would be like saying Woody Allen's nose was in the next photo because he's from New York. Truthfully, we are never going to know whether that is him or not. I have asked the Christopher Walken readers on their message board to have a look at the movie if they have it and see what they think.

I just looked at Nighthawks again and watched another unrelated movie with Christopher Walken and he has a small mole on his right cheek that is evident in the Nighthawks photograph. My comment about being from NYC was just to state that he might have been more readily available if he lived in the vicinity of the shooting location.

Yes, Walken does have a mole on the right side of his face, however, his mole is further away from the nose, compared to the photo of the unknown person in Nighthawks. Since you were on the subject of New York earlier, have a look at the film King Of New York to do another comparison. The chances of him being 'readily available' at the time of filming Nighthawks, which was in 1980, were pretty slim. He was filming three movies in 1980 (The Dogs Of War, Pennies from Heaven, and Shoot The Sun Down) for a 1981 release. Back to my earlier point, we will never know whether that is him or not.

Think what you want. I'm convinced it's him.

As i said twice already, we will never know.

Then don't include me in "we".

Not sure what purpose your last comment served, other than being a bit bitter about my comments and thoughts. My last comment was my way of closing this discussion, not because you are right or i am right. We both have provided our opinions. It is obvious that we both have different opinions and neither of us are backing down from them. There is no right or wrong on this one. If you feel you are right, then so be it. If i feel i am right, then so be it. Another round of 'That is him...That isn't him' isn't going to solve anything.

it's a man who looks like him very much but it's not his face,then that part of the movie should have been filmed in Paris and not in New York.
