Fun fact: the sequal to Armageddon was scripted to involve the earth being hit by a second asteroid and everyone having to leave. It was titled Armageddon: Outta Here
This is of course an untrue fun fact and a piss poor gag to boot.
Love that film, right up there in my top five.
Christopher Walken is also superb in his scene. Although his performance could also be considered over the top I think that part of the films charms is that it gave the actors a chance to indulge in their craft. For me the film is better for this...
Lots of love for Gary Oldman, My favourite actor.
Love him in True Romance
