you're right...a multi-million dollar disaster...with horrible casting..which virtually sank it, editing or not. no chemistry , whatsoever |

It certainly makes me appreciate the great chemistry that Gareth Hunt and Joanna Lumley have in The New Avengers! Casting makes or breaks a movie/film (or film series on TV).

I would concur 100 %...plus a decent script. Yeah, there's great chemistry between Hunt and Lumley....although it took me a while to warm up to him..but in retrospect, it was a good casting |

| I'd concur, the ingredients are there. But the dish is largely unpalatable. |

If I had to make a guess, majority of people would select the Film..as it really was a horrible failure...years later, it still reeks of crash and burn. Heck, even the poster for the film, was sorta lousy.. |

| Does anyone have the 22 minute behind the scenes documentary of the film? I read about it in Mike's book and would love to see it as it wasn't shown in the uk. |

Wasn't on the UK one which was "bare bones" (and bargain-bucket) to say the least!

THEN it doesn't seem to be on either DVD release....perhaps it was on some web site? unless warners allows someone like Criterion or Kino-Lober, to put the film out with ' extras' and / or / missing footages...it'll remain unseen..for the time being |
