Hey don't worry, my hopes are always crushed................................... Want to hear something really sad and crushing (to my ego that is). Jack Ryan a la Owen Wilson has bigger n*pples than me.....................*faints* There I have said it. I remember when I had my first child, the nurses said "My you have small nipples!" Then to make things worse my mother agreed. THINGS COME IN THREES is what I am told. No. 3 nipple insult - On my honeymoon with 2nd husband and he says that I have small ................*sigh* yeah, yeah, you know the rest.
I have Jack Ryan on my computer (the big bounce when he is lying on the bed with the top button undone) desktop and he reminds me every day about size................ I'm sure on a hot day they may get better but no one is checking it out................
Oh wow! I did so totally go off topic here. I am glad that not many people read this thread. They may laugh to much and the thread could collapse. (I need a new sense of humour. Mine is so warped.) ;D

i found this: what he's referring to, and what some of you have mentioned is this: and i also found this: (all three quotes are from Moviehole.com) as you can see, the last two are from 2003 (!!) so it seems kind of odd that they would all say that they were making a third one and then just--stop. i'm trying sooo hard not to get my or anyone else's hopes up! but the first quote kinda kills that dream...

I give up. It still reminds me of The Mummy, then it's sequel. There was supposed to be a third but it hasn't happened as yet.
Don't get your hopes up. Wait until something does happen. Jackie Chan threw a spanner into the works by saying that he wasn't going to do any more Shanghai movies and wanted to do some serious acting. Who Jackie? Do serious acting? He is great doing comedy.
I will believe it when I see it.
My that was negative wasn't it.

I think a 3rd movie would do well and I'd LOVE to see Roy again. But it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

How cruel can life be?
Don't you wish that it really would happen. I blame this on Jackie Okay, he wants to be a serious actor like Rober De Niro.................................. I can't see it actually. Jackie Serious?
We can always keep watching Owen's movies but I really love Roy. He has so much character. ;D

"...I'd throw them in WWI and have Owen pop a champagne bottle and kill Ferdinand and start WWI--to me, that's funny. These two guys bitching at each other in a foxhole!?".
Gosh, we could cast Owen & somebody else (Jackie? Ben Stiller? Will Ferrell? Luke Wilson?) as WWI guys where they had the unofficial, illegal Christmas truce of 1915. (Of course, there'd have to be some explanation as to why 2 Yanks are in the foxholes when the Americans hadn't joined the war yet in 1915. OK, so maybe they were there of their own accord). Anyway, there was this wildcat Christmas truce where the British and the Germans came out of their foxholes, cleared No man's land of all the bodies so that they could play football (that's soccer to us Yanks). They exchanged cigarettes and other little gifts and sang Christmas carols - in English & German. The Germans had little table-top Christmas trees, but the British had nothing, so the Germans shared their trees with them. When the officers of each army learned of this, they forced the men to call it off and re-distributed their armies so that none of these troops would ever meet on the same field again. When the truce ended, each army fired into the air to warn the other the truce had ended. Each knew the next shots would be fired AT them. Nothing quite like this impromptu event has ever happened in a war since... not on such a large scale.
My point was: we could have Owen & his co-star as volunteers and be ring-leaders of this truce. Can't you just hear them bantering with the other guys in the foxhole? Being the ring-leaders of the truce and bantering with that army?
Although Owen accidentally popping off Ferdinand with a champagne cork is pretty funny too. I can visualize Owen doing that.
I'm real disappointed there won't be a 3rd Shanghai movie. It would have been perfect. I mean, the first two were good and made a profit, didn't they? It's only natural to follow up 2 successes with a 3rd. But maybe they want to be like the Crocodile Dundee and make just 2, and that's it.
Lotus, I loved your use of the word 'spanner.' In the U.S., we call it a wrench. ;D

Yeah, and put Luke & Vince & Will & Ben in the same foxhole with Owen as his army mates. And Owen & Wes Anderson should write the screenplay! Sounds like a winning movie to me!

Great movie yes but don't do overkill. I have to admit though that it could be up for an Oscar or more. ;D
How about the send Roy to Australia. Just look at all the people back then in Australia! He would fit in pretty well with our notorious Ned Kelly. Perhaps they could get someone who knows martial arts to kick the people's butts in for doing the wrong thing. My daughter is a kick butt kind of female. She nearly has her black belt in Tai Kwon Doe (sp) and has these really long legs. Wouldn't Roy love to be protected by any female (Well NOT PARIS HILTON)

Lotus, your movie idea reminds me of two James Garner comedy/westerns - Support Your Local Gunfighter and Support Your Local Sheriff. James played the same character in both. He was always saying throughout these movies: "I'm just passing through, I'm really on my way to Australia."
We could have Owen take up that character - and have him actually be in Australia. He could be starting a sheep ranch or something.
As for the martial artist, why not Jackie Chan?
But then that would confuse the movie with a Shanghai Noon/Knights. Therefore, the title should reflect an Australian theme.

Forget the sheep. He would end up by shearing the darn furballs. We have cattle here also. Australia isn't really a backward country. We are downunder so I guess that means we are UPSIDE DOWN. Does that make sense?
Why not Jackie Chan? It would be great if he would do a show with Owen again but I think that he is going through a mid life crisis and wants to act like Robert De Niro (sp)
Anything would be appreciated with Roy in it. ;D Think of something and we will all watch it.

I don't think that qualifies as "serious acting"?

That's freakin' hilarious, Nat! Personally, I think Jackie will have a hard time getting any "serious" role from anybody. Hopefully he'll come to his senses & go back to what he does best - MOVIES WITH OWEN!!!

I don't think that qualifies as "serious acting"? i did!! i saw it last night and i immediately thought of this thread and how you guys mentioned that he wanted to do some serious acting! i feel bad for laughing at him though, but i really don't consider that serious acting!
