Went ahead and watched it - thanks. He did ok. I’m guessing age and lesser conditioning have curtailed his skills. When it comes to dancing my all time favorite is Gene Kelly. THAT guy was amazing. Fred was very good too, but not nearly as athletic.
I grabbed a copy of Balls of Fury from the redbox today. What a hoot. Walken does dry humor as well as anyone out there. The movie is patterned after the classic martial arts film - Enter the Dragon esk - but instead its ping pong. An additional chuckle was the casting of Jason Scott Lee in the film. Give it a shot if you have not sen it.

Oh I agree, I think that what appeals to me about that clip (Weapon of Choice) is that you can see that Walken is pushing it to the limit, he's not all that smooth, he's doing what he can, but he's still within the perimeters of the character. You keep waiting to see if he'll fall, slip or crash.

Gene Kelly was the best there ever was, IMHO.

I saw the previews and it looked good, I'll have to check that out, thanks!
