John Ashton (Sgt.Taggart)


was 35/36 when this was made???! Seriously? He looked so much older. When he's in the car with Billy and he says something like "by the time the average American is 50 he has X lbs of undigested red meat in his bowels" I thought he was saying it because John Ashton was close to 50! Lol.

That's how they get you! They're under the goddamn ground!

Well, he does eat a lot of red meat.

Nah, we didn't look older back then. He's balding & carries extra lbs...that'll do it to most people.

He was also very wrinkled for a 35 year old. I guess some people just don't age well. As I type this I'm watching a game show with a black guy who is 49 but looks more like 30!

I can see you make a habit of missing the point.

Having Taggart be around fifty there would explain why he'd be retired on the third movie.

reply

in the second movie Taggart tells Axel and Billy that he and Handy [Bogamil] joined the forced together. So the real mans was playing a 50+ mans

reply

Right.
