IMO - He's a was interesting well acted but underused character from a below average movie, who unfortunately had only about 12 minutes of screen time.
Just curious did RR mention anywhere that due to Fishburnes schedule they only had a day or less to work with him in this movie?
There must be a reason for using him only brieifly.
Although they've denied it, they originally intended Noland to be Dutch. They wrote a small number of cameos for Arnold, this one and the one that has Dutch appear at the end with a team of Predators are the only ones known so far. To entice Arnie into the film, he'd have had the choice of which one they'd use and the fact that as Governor he'd only have a very limited time to film his scene(s). In the end Arnie turned them down and they opted to go for Fishburne.
Theres rumours that Arnies people demanded that he'd only do the film if Dutch was killed off, may be they decided on that particular scene before Arnie finally said no?
