      Exactly, that's why he's so great, because he's not "misunderstood". He knew what he was doing was horrible. That's why he refused to do it while his wife was still alive, and that's why he surrendered his Medal of Honor before doing it. The self-awareness is what makes him such an interesting character.

    Kyle Reese in Terminator, Corporal Hicks in Aliens, Lt. Coffey in The Abyss, Johnny Ringo in Tombstone... Michael Biehn is a freaking legend. He hasn't done much in a while though, as he just turned 68 years old last month.
    Someone's probably already mentioned this, but Connery's character is basically James Bond, under an alias.

    The rope, was a clothes line. That's really a thing from way before our time, and I've only ever seen it maybe once or twice in real life, I don't know, maybe not even, maybe I've only ever seen it on TV, but I guess hotels would sometimes have those retractable clothes lines where the end would anchor into a thing on the wall, so I guess you could wash something in the bath or sink, and hang it up to dry, preferably over the bath tub? Something like that.

      @@thbemky827 So your argument is, it's Connerys last outing as Bond, and jump through hoops to tie the two characters together, then distance Connery from Bond by citing his canon both before and after Connery. All of this stems from some peoples inability to believe an actor can play two different roles, and they fail to separate him from his most iconic character.

    One thing I miss from action movies from the 90's and early 2000's was the adrenaline. It just went from zero to 100 in an instant and barely stopped till the end.

    Michael Bay recalled a moment when he and Connery were filming a car chase. Connery hit the brakes and caused Bay to hit his head against a window. Connery asked if Bay was okay and Bay said he wasn't, but only because "the Disney folks are here to kick my butt for being two days over schedule." Connery then offered to help.
    Later, during a break in filming, Bay is eating lunch in an elementary school classroom with Disney representatives when Bay announces that Connery is coming in.
    "Sean comes in, sits down across from the open-mouthed executives," Bay wrote. "In classic Sean Connery style, he belts out in his Scottish brogue: 'This boy is doing a good job, and you’re living in your Disney Fucking Ivory Tower and we need more fucking money!!' Without missing a beat, they responded. 'OK. How much?'"
