I should clarify that I'm okay with the Howard Hughes swap, now .. it's just that, at the time the movie was released, it struck my younger, less-tolerant self as 'wrong' .. especially considering that so many other details from the comic -- the GeeBee, Bulldog Cafe, Lothar, etc -- were incredibly faithful to Stevens' creation. Actually, the twin-engine rocketpack kinda bugged me, at first, too (again: I love it, now) .. but I did enjoy the gag in which a vacuum-cleaner that resembles the comic's single engine rocketpack was "kept from falling into enemy hands".

I'd also agree with Dacey's choice of Robert Downey Jr.
I loved him in Soap Dish and Chaplin, and thought his acting career would have a bright future .. but he had a bit of trouble there, for several years.

I'm really happy that he's managed to turn all that around for himself with the Iron Man and Avengers films. His Tony Stark is great fun to watch.
