Something the movie never explains


Why did Castor try to snipe Archer in the first scene?

reply

It was explained. Archer was pursuing him. He was trying to eliminate him.

WHY was he trying to eliminate him?

What’s the line of dialogue that confirms that? I mean I realize that’s an obvious assumption but the movie never clarified it.

reply

You are being ridiculous. It is obvious like you said and 2 minutes of exposition would have been retarded.

reply

No more ridiculous than two guys with completely different body types exchanging just faces but the bodies change to suit the faces apparently.

There was once talk of asking Schwarzenegger and Stallone to do this. That would have really been interesting. Almost eight-inch difference in height.
