- The cast is largely considered untouchable; Sharon Stone and The performer transcribed as DeMorne (identity unresolved) are proposed for Lynette, with continued admiration for Lisa Blount.
- Randy Quaid is proposed for Sid.
- Judge Reinhold is proposed for Sid.
- Tom Hanks is proposed for Sid, with enthusiasm for an Oklahoma accent.
- Dennis Quaid is proposed as a plausible alternative Mayo.
- A later-era Denzel Washington is proposed as an especially strong Foley, explicitly outside the original casting period.
- Denzel's military filmography is recalled in support of the hypothetical Foley casting; A Soldier's Story and Adolph Caesar's sergeant are praised.
- Rosanna Arquette is a late Lynette recasting proposal.
