McQueen is right. Rutger Hauer plays Nick, grand- or great-grand son or nephew of Josh, in the same racket of running down baddies. Nick rides a Harley. The baddie is played to perfection by Gene Simmons of KISS in an Osama looking role. The ending is one of the most cathartic I’ve seen. Worth renting for the ending alone.
The other Josh Randall movie is one of those Chuck Norris things. There may be some supposed relationship with McQueen’s character, but I wouldn’t waste a rental to find out.
He’s not a fictional character. He’s a real person. He’s the Yugoslavian ski jumper (not sure which country he lives in now, possibly Slovenia) featured in ABC’s Wide World of Sports as “The Agony of Defeat.”
As referenced earlier, Chuck Connors played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers, but just one game. He played 66 games for the Chicago Cubs and also played many years in the minor leagues. He also played in the NBA briefly for the Boston Celtics.
Connors was a first baseman. He stood 6’5". He’s also buried a few plots away from my mom.
