453 Patriot Games (1992)
- 'Alec Baldwin' (qv) played Jack Ryan in
"The Hunt for Red October (1990)" (qv), but 'Harrison Ford' (qv) replaced
him for this and future films based on 'Tom Clancy' (qv)'s novels. Rumours
give the reason as either Baldwin's ``unprofessional behavior'' during the
making of "The Hunt for Red October (1990)" (qv), or his supposed demand of
$4 million. The official version is that Baldwin had a scheduling
conflict.
- 'Gates McFadden' (qv) played Cathy Ryan in
"The Hunt for Red October (1990)" (qv), but was played by 'Anne Archer' (qv)
in "Patriot Games (1992)" (qv).
- Clancy's novel had the Prince and Princess of Wales as the target of the
attempted kidnapping.
- The line ``There's never been a terrorist attack on American soil'' was
included in trailers for movie, but was left out of theatrical release
because it sounded too much like an invitation or dare.
