  • Jay Roach is affirmed for Apex, with the film's success launching a substantial comedy career and later political films and television work.
  • Mike Myers is emphatically affirmed for Apex based on his post-film power, and Verne Troyer is affirmed without hesitation.
  • Heather Graham is affirmed for Apex, with the film's commercial scale, Bowfinger and magazine prominence outweighing Boogie Nights' prestige.
  • Dr. Evil impressions are proposed for Apex rather than assuming audiences recognized Lorne Michaels; the revived VW Beetle gets only a maybe, and mailbags are rejected.
  • Random-song soundtracks receive an affirmative Apex response; Lenny Kravitz is tentatively proposed through American Woman and its Graham video.
  • Rob Lowe's comic reinvention, resilience and concurrent West Wing role prompt a late Apex reconsideration, but his 1980 s leading-man period is preferred for greater power.
