Quote:Reno of Memphis was, as he was in the film, Pepe Serna. A fine character actor who has semi-retired to a life of painting, as far as I've been able to tell. He was also in "Silverado" as one of the more articulate thugs (i.e., he had lines before being shot by Kevin Kline).
Have you seen the DVD? They keep up the conceit that Buckaroo is real -- the commentary track is WD Richter and someone who claims to be the "real" Reno, commenting on the "dramatization". (I suspect "Reno" was actually Earl MacRauch, the author/screenwriter.) It also has outtakes which refer to Hanoi Xan!
If you do decide to do a Step into the Banzai-verse, may I recommend that you write it from Reno's point of view, in keeping with the feel of the book?
