Michael Wincott is awesome in this movie. Not sure what it is that makes him so likeable a villain. He just plays it JUST right. He's COOL! Anybody else agree?

Definitely. This movie would have SUCKEDDDDDDDDDDD without him. He was the best part.

Agree. Great actor, but more specifically a great villain. He was awesome in The Crow too.

[–] faithvampire 17 years ago

I absolutely agree. I like him a lot. :)

Does anyone know where did they shoot the scene where Korda's flat is shown? I love that flat and the whole house, I'd like to live there too.

I complete agree. He presents himself so menacingly as the villain in this movie. When we first see Clarence, his cousin, and he goes mental at him, my mouth dropped. He was terrifying. He also portays 'the calm psycho' side to his character perfectly aswell. They couldn't of picked anybody better to play the villain. Michael Wincott is awesome. It's just a shame he isn't one of the top Hollywood villains because he portays a villain miles better than most actors I've ever seen can. He has the look, the voice, the build. He was born to play the villain.

Great performance in this film and a very underrated actor. Has the similar "Bruce Payne" vibe about him.

Before I seen this movie, I was watching Basquiat. Coincidentally, Eddie Murphy's name is brought up in that film>then it made me want to see Murphy's McDonald's bit from Raw>Metro came up in the suggestions-which both films star Michael Wincott. Which I'd like to add,was really good in Basquiat too.

I agree with you. I was actually rooting for him in the movie. Eddie Murphys character wasn't likeable at all. Him acting like a tough guy was laughable. total douche bag.
