Domino (2005) - I Am a Bounty Hunter

patrick — Sat, 2006-09-09 11:10

This movie, Domino, is based on the real life story of Domino Harvey, daughter of actor Laurence Harvey. It was interesting to see hollywood's take on this famous bounty hunter from recent history. Granted she worked with Tony Scott (director) on the movie, but I seriously doubt the parallel between reality & the movie... Even though, this one time, at band camp...

In the movie, both Ian Ziering & Brian Austin Green, from Beverly Hills, 90210, play themselves & start off as the "celebrities" making a come back in a TV show about Domino & the 2 guys she hunted bounties with (in the movie). The first set of bounties they take on the TV show turns out to be a double-cross & they kidnap the two ex-90210 actors because they need "celebrity hostages". As far as I know, these 2 where never kidnapped... Looking for confirmation of some sort on wikipedia turns up nothing about this on either of the actors' page nor the page on Domino. As they said in the TV show in the movie, maybe this (the movie) was their big come back attempt?

I was much more impressed with the extras on the DVD which included "I'm a Bounty Hunter: Domino Harvey's Life". This included interviews with Domino, her mother, & various cast & crew from the movie. This seemed to give a lot more information about her & who she was (not necessarily all the details). It was also another way for Tony Scott to present information about Domino. She died before the movie was released to theaters & as such would never be able to work on a documentary about herself.

Amazon's "Product Description" of Domino seems to do a fairly good job of summing things up.
