John Key 747 Posted July 12, 2021 Looking up Walken on wikipedia led me down the rabbit hole of the death of Natalie Wood. Conclusion: Walken kept his mouth shut on the murder, Wagner killed Wood. I do believe in innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, thus Wagner shouldn't be prosecuted even if Wood didn't drown on her own accord, Wagner had "fresh bruising" and the boat captain changed his story to make Wagner sound guilty thirty years after the case. At this point only a confession from Wagner would be sufficient. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Natalie's death continues to make news forty years after her shocking final. Isn't it a mysterious story? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, people are presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court of law, but that doesn't mean they can't be prosecuted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted July 12, 2021 Am I alone in my belief that Natalie Wood probably wasn't murdered? I assumed from the evidence that Wood and Wagner probably had a big domestic (wouldn't have been their first) and both stomped off in a huff, but because booze was involved, Wood managed to fall off the boat. Hence Wagner's "guilt" is more about having the fight which led to her death, not through murdering her. And Walken doesn't say more because he doesn't know it, through dozing off or being blind drink or whatever. Seems more likely to me than the perfect murder script... 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Putin 423 Posted July 12, 2021 Well he is 78 years, and his parents lived to 97 and 102. So he could probably still live another 20-25 years still actually 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 12, 2021 The 'Sicilian' scene from True Romance, between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper, is some of the finest acting I've seen. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is indicating that Walken will die anytime soon, so it blatantly just for the sake of being the username on the thread once he passes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,085 Posted July 14, 2021 His best movie was the James Bond one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MariNisia 4,180 Posted July 14, 2021 4 hours ago, Youth in Asia said: His best movie was the James Bond one "A view to a kill" was pretty good, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The cast did a good job in the film... with a great and spectacular Grace Jones. But the plot could've been better. Christopher Walken was the first Oscar winning actor to play a main villain in a Bond film. In my opinion... his best film is "The deer hunter". An extraordinary film with a truly awesome sequence... the three prisoners forced to play Russian roulette while their captors gamble on who will... or will not... the survivor... really impressive. Great film with stellar performances, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep coming off best. And Walken won his Oscar for this role. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked him in The Dead Zone - his type of role - he is very believable as a 'normal' person who becomes slightly unhinged. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,581 Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) If we're doing it, my favourite Walken role is as the drill sergeant in Biloxi Blues, though he was also pretty good in a film with Sean Penn, the title of which I don't recall - I think they played brothers. I've looked it up, it was "At Close Range" (1986), they play father & son, not brothers. Edited July 14, 2021 by time Research! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christopher Walken is the malevolent leader of a gang of thieves. His role is cruel, ruthless and violent. His type of role, just like @Grim Up North said. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,085 Posted July 14, 2021 And his worst role was his completely pointless involvement in the Eddie Edwards biopic, playing someone who didn't even exist, which is a bit of a problem for a biopic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted March 5 Oh, wow, he has a thread.... Anyway, I watched Dune II with him in it. He looked very aged, but some of that might be on purpose. I think he's eminently deathlist-y, Oscar winner, meme-y person, on Robert Wagner's boat, SNL's "More Cowbell", Fatboy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice". Maybe to be considered AFTER Robert Wagner's death. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
