- Producer Craig’s invited response finds Stallone’s comedy unsuccessful in contrast with his action roles; the other response strongly objects.
- Stallone’s awkward comedy may itself be entertaining. Willis is proposed, countered as another Cash rather than a Tango, then defended as capable of a rich suited character.
- Harrison Ford and Michael Douglas are proposed; Douglas lacks the desired physical size, while Ford has it.
- Schwarzenegger’s comic ability is disputed, and the final preference keeps Stallone.
