All that was before he started acting like a bipolar patient stuck in manic mode, with caffeine. Circa "Year of Living Dangerously" or "Gallipoli" I can see it. Once he started on the "Lethal Weapon" movies? Not so much. Mania isn't actually attractive, especially when you realize that the reason he was playing a strong silent type was because he can't act so well. I think Thunderdome turned him into some sort of special Hollywood Zombie. But I'll give him this: he acts better than Tom Cruise does (another subscriber to the "acting manic is actually acting" school of thought.)
