you're right...a multi-million dollar disaster...with horrible casting..which virtually sank it, editing or not. no chemistry , whatsoever

It certainly makes me appreciate the great chemistry that Gareth Hunt and Joanna Lumley have in The New Avengers! Casting makes or breaks a movie/film (or film series on TV).

I would concur 100 %...plus a decent script. Yeah, there's great chemistry between Hunt and Lumley....although it took me a while to warm up to him..but in retrospect, it was a good casting

I'd concur, the ingredients are there. But the dish is largely unpalatable.

For the movie, or for The New Avengers?

If I had to make a guess, majority of people would select the Film..as it really was a horrible failure...years later, it still reeks of crash and burn. Heck, even the poster for the film, was sorta lousy..

Does anyone have the 22 minute behind the scenes documentary of the film? I read about it in Mike's book and would love to see it as it wasn't shown in the uk.

Wasn't on the UK one which was "bare bones" (and bargain-bucket) to say the least!

THEN it doesn't seem to be on either DVD release....perhaps it was on some web site? unless warners allows someone like Criterion or Kino-Lober, to put the film out with ' extras' and / or / missing footages...it'll remain unseen..for the time being
