“Houston on fire. Will history blame me, or the bees?”

Obit watch: Arthur Herzog III,

…a prolific author who wrote about nuclear disarmament and the fugitive financier Robert Vesco but who was probably best known for his science-fiction thriller “The Swarm,” about killer bees...

(Subject line hattip. Question: was that, or “Jaws: The Revenge”, Michael Caine’s worst movie role?)

Edited to add: Well, Lawrence decided to challenge me. Therefore…


What is Michael Caine’s worst movie role?
Michael Jennings in On Deadly Ground
Hoagie Newcombe in Jaws: The Revenge
Captain Mike Turner in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure
Brad Crane in The Swarm
Colonel Steiner in The Eagle Has Landed
Doctor Robert Elliott in Dressed to Kill
Jonathan Lansdale in The Hand
None of the above. How did you miss listing…?
None of Michael Caine’s roles have been bad.

    Aren’t you forgetting On Deadly Ground?

    Would that I could, but it is arguable that On Deadly Ground has some camp value going for it that is not present in the other two.
