Well, there was the Quaid, and Rossellini, and Catherine O'Hara, and, and, and a whole raft of wonderful actors in really good parts in WE. Remove the dark pall of Costner presence onscreen and off, and it would have been a good movie.

What cracked me up is I went to Tombstone, AZ a couple of years after both films came out, and while there were "Tombstone" pictures and posters up EVERYWHERE, there was NOTHING of "Wyatt Earp".

Crap. Had a long post that got et.
Russell's dad was a tv western actor and stunt man, who got Kurt started working in tv as a kid. Kurt played baseball for fun, since film was work. He was good enough to aim for the Majors, and was playing pro when he injured his shoulder. He went back to film, back to the family business.
Russell said once he'd love to see Snake and Mad Max head-to-head in a movie sometime. I had hopes when I first heard they were starring together in Tequila Sunrise, but nope. Now, I'd just want to see Snake pound the tar out of Max.

Kurt Russell was up for the Costner role in Bull Durham. I kind of like to contemplate this movie, in my head.
Huh. That might not have been as dull.
Signed,
Please don't shoot me, but I love Overboard.
