;D

They could totally make that movie now with modern CGI.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Yes I've seen this Destroyer pics, great stuff, but Möller is definitely not THAT big! (according to imdb he's about 6'6" - the same with Michael Jordan - while Wilt Chamberlain is 7'1")

Speaking of height, this is from the same site, and shows Schwarzenegger and Stallone in their prime.


And there's Franco Columbu in the middle. He's only about 5'5 in real life, but he won several Mr Olympia and Mr Universe contests and was the Italian amateur boxing champion. He also played the future Terminator during Kyle's dream in the first Terminator movie.



But who'd win a fight: Franco Columbu vs. Lieutenant Frank Columbo?

I feel silly for not mentioning Columbu - he was also a pictish scout in the opening sequence of Conan the Barbarian.

:o I've seen Conan the Barbarian many times, but I never realised Columbu was in it until now. I'll have to get out the DVD and try to spot him.

Another bit of trivia about that film is that Conan's father was played by William Smith, who also played a goon in the last ever episode of the Batman TV show.
