Babes everywhere in that movie though.
Favorite line:
"Bring me the BOOR worms..."
LOL

I'll have to differ there- he's one of the things that I LOVE about 'Flash'! In fact I consider those the Max Von Sydow 'fun years'. 95% of my favorite quotable lines come from Max in 'Flash' and 'Strange Brew'-
"I could crush your head... like a nut. But I won't... because I NEED you."
"Ironic- you came to me with a mouse in a bottle... now YOU'RE the mouse. Its a shame you won't live to see the whole world addicted to Elsinore beer."
Its not like he was desperate for work I think- I truely believe he thought 'hell why not?' And it doesn't seem like he telegraphed in his performances either. Not like Ben Kingsley in soooooo many films or any number of other fine actors.
