albert 27th Feb 2021		He says "I don't give a flop about what you do". I would like to presume the line was ad-libbed and maybe amended in post production. Later in the film he asks for the melting point of his glass eye, amongst other things, which I cannot imagine would have been in the original script.



Quad5point1 SUBS 26th Feb 2021		@albert, it sure does sound like the F word, but I'm so tuned to that now I can't make out what he is really saying, PS, Leo's glasses are just something else, thick rimmed or what



albert 24th Feb 2021		Quite a good film, if you can accept the premise. Watching the remastered Blu-ray I was amused to hear Leo McKern's line in the scene when Bill and Peter first visit Harry's Bar, just as they are leaving the Daily Express building (at the 19:48 mark), on the Blu-ray I am sure it sounds like something else.
