  Watching this always gives me old school James Bond vibes with an Asian twist. Always a shame to think of the potential Lee still had left to fill.

  Barbie 2023

  The irony of this film is the negative reactions to it from cracked alpha males only makes the message of the film stronger.

  Pom Poko 1994

  The Man Who Would Be King 1975

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Dec 2014 3

  "God's holy trousers!"

  Sumptuous entertainment, wonderful chemistry between Michael Caine and Sean Connery, majestic locations and photography. The film has the expansiveness of 'Lawrence of Arabia' at times and also has much in common with John Huston's own, 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' in regards to the cautionary tale of pursuing treasures and gold. There is fine banter in the script and much fine adventuring is had along the way, it is just so damn easy to watch and enjoy. 'The Man Who Would Be King' is entertainment fit for deities and Englishmen alike.
