Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren and Peter Fonda team up with acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh for this critically lauded thriller that Newsday called "a lean and mean treat for savvy action lovers." British ex-con Wilson (Terence Stamp) arrives

Fonda teamed with fellow 1960s icon Terrence Stamp in Steven Soderbergh's "Point Blank"-like revenge thriller "The Limey" (1999), which used elements from both actors' real-life pasts in improvisational moments during filming. The director's virtuoso editing style paid homage to the Godardian New Wave jump-cutting that inspired the original "Point Blank," and Fonda had a blast patterning his corrupt Hollywood record exec after some of the self-absorbed industry types whose paths he had crossed. He ... got a chance to play opposite Thomas the Tank Engine in Britt Allcroft's live-action adaptation "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" (2000), creating a convincing grandpop for the children who frequented Shining Time Station.
Though he spent much of his childhood trying to live up to his famous father's expectations, it wasn't until college that Fonda broke into acting. After appearing in the Omaha Playhouse's production of Harvey, he moved back to New York, debuting on Broadway at the age of 21 in a production of Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole. In 1963, he made his first Hollywood film, Tammy and the Doctor starring Sandra Dee.

It is not clear whether or not either Peter Fonda or his bride were Episcopalians.]

Peter Fonda: The advantage of working with a new director is that very thing. The new director doesn't necessarily have a lot of technique to fall back on but does have, or could have, a never-thought-of-before way of expressing the feelings that are supposed to be the story of the film.
