Title: Dead Ringer for Judge Death
Post by: ThryllSeekyr on 05 November, 2007, 10:25:02 AM
I don't know if anybody has ever noticed thsi before, but as I have noticed Peter Fonda  in 'Ghost-Rider' and 'Wild Hogs' it suddenly came to my attention that he might make goos Judge Dredd, or Fargo himself.

But his over all appearance with the right make up/cgi applied he would make him a even better Judge Death.

Of course, I don't mean to be insulting,( Becuase I do admire the original Easy Rider for being normal man.) but I have seen that Death was once a man himself. Anyway, I just noticed that as he excuted scene right at the end of 'Wild Hogs' where he cameoed in such way that it  mirrored the Judge Dredd entrance scene from the same movie of the same name. ( Judge Dredd.)  Which had me thinking at first, this is Judge Dredd. Then I noticed he's more like Judge Death. I just think he had the right look for it. Not that I could be certain that of his acting ability, since I haven't seen Judge Death in movie yet. But I could imagine that Peter Fonda's look, swagger, mannerisms to be much like this Grim Reaper that sometimes haunts Mega-City one.

He has the loooming aspect about him..............

As after thought. Seeing Peter Fonda in a photo with his daughter Brigitte.

She's almost the definitive Psi Anderson.

Thsi a interesting connection betwent both characters.
Forgive me for I have not been reading any of the JD Case files I own involving Psi Anderson lately. So I don't have enough background information to really know who her father is in the comic.

Even if it's alittle un-original, if Death turns out to be her father.

Might explain where she got her PSI talents from though.

Just kidding....

It's certainly by Fraze, but it's from before My Name is Death, published in Zarjaz 1, if memory serves me correct.

Apparently, a really charming, charismatic and infinitely likeable individual owns the original art. ;)
