Note[edit]

It was not mentioned that Bull's henchman was played by John Hurt, English actor of some renown. In addition Bull was played by Richard Harris , an Irish actor known for Arthur in Camelot, Albus Dumbledore in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and numerous other movies.

Removed paragraph[edit]

I removed the following paragraph, which refers to differences between the original play and the later film adaptation:

In this adaptation, the character of Bird O' Donnell appeared as Bull's simpleton henchman, which was not the case in the original play, also he didn't whistle like he had in the play and was much active. In the play, he was a clever middle-aged laidback alcoholic, who appeared as a much more neutral character rather than being on siding with morals or siding with Bull McCabe.

Normally, I'd try to fix something like this, but in this case I can't make out what the author was trying to say. I guess "and was much active" probably was meant to be "and was much more active," but "rather than being on siding with morals or siding with Bull McCabe" is completely opaque to me.

I suppose if I had seen the play, or if I had seen the movie more recently, I may be able to work it out. Certainly, the paragraph is enumerating a few specific differences between the play and the film. As such, I'm not sure that it adds to the article; but if someone wants to clean it up and put it back in, I won't take my GI Joe and go home or anything. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 00:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
