With such a hot female ensemble including Ms Ramirez, they could've pulled it off with the cast they had, that's for sure. I would've faced that peril. :-) I don't recall seeing the old man from Scenes 12/23 either. No scene 12, no bridge of death scene. > Sounds like there's a lot of new stuff, and so it seems parts of the > original might have to be sacrificed.
