What's Up Tiger Lilly-II ????

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2001)

Is this the perfect film for Lilly-2 or what? The plot is preposterous, the dialogue absurd, the acting has such wonderful facial expressions, the so-called state-of-the-art technology is, ofcourse, state-of-the-art special effects and nothing more and that WONDERFUL "fish-in-the-Venice-plaza" scene! What other film has ever given us a scene like that? I dare anyone to name one!
I always respected DePalma as a great director. I always thought Robert Towne was a superior writer. Tom Cruise is a fine movie-star of an actor and Jean Reno and Ving Raymes are superb character actors, no matter how bad the parts they sometimes have to do bring home those Hollywood paychecks. I like these guys. Well, old John Voight is hard to like. Our Past-Midnight Cowboy should have an enriching career as a bad guy as he ages. Maybe he'll learn to speak Portuguese?
Do you think DePalma and Cruise would sign off on a new soundtrack for this film? I mean, you get some young guys from Harvard Lampoon, some Saturday Night Live comedy writers, some guys who are actually funny (leave us old guys out!) and they could put a hip script to this flick that would leave people rolling in the aisles forever.
This is THE perfect film for What's Up Tiger Lilly Two. You could not find better footage if you searched for eons. Come,on Tom. Come, on Brian. Whaddayasay????? You don't think people have a right to laugh? There are so few good comedies nowadays. This is an opportunity!! Please?
