The first thing you gotta know is that some of the characters are kinda the same. Take for instance Chris. In the movie, he's a gunfighter dressed entirely in black. In the show - black clothes abound. In the movie, Chris is the wise leader. Show? Ditto. However, in the movie, Chris is Cajun. It's not just mentioned in passing, the man has an accent. In the show, he's from Indiana (or so I hear). Also, in the movie, Chris is played by Yul Brynner. What does that matter? Well, he's bald. In the show, Chris is played by that delightfully handsome blonde, Michael Bein.
And then you got Vin. I like Vin, in both the show and the movie. In the movie though, he seems less grown up and less alone. He's also kind of a skirt chaser. Despite that, I think he's still my favourite, even if he isn't a brooding tracker like in the show. In the movie, Vin is played by Steve McQueen while in the show, he's played by Eric Close (yum!)
Sorry to say, but those are the only two in the movie. There is of course a kid, a fancy dressed dude and a knife thrower but they have different stories and different names. I was a little disappointed, but I've managed to seperate the movie universe from the show universe in my mind so all is good. |
