The actress teamed up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the 1994 action film and gossip about a sequel has piqued her interest.
But Jamie Lee, 57, insists she and Arnold, 69 are too old the lead a spy caper, and she thinks their movie daughter, Eliza Dushku, should take over.
“Do you you really wanna see old people running around fighting bad guys?” she asked during an appearance on Access Hollywood Live on Thursday (22Sep16).
“I think the only way to do it would be if Eliza Dushku, who played our daughter, was now the spy and we were like the Judi Dench character in the Bond movies, M.
“If Arnold and were sort of the old people sitting at the desk… and then maybe right at the end when she (Eliza) gets caught, we have to sort of do it again.”
The comedy thriller, about a spy whose wife contemplates having an affair with another undercover agent, was a hit upon its release, winning Jamie a Golden Globe as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Effects, Visual Effects. The film celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2014 and some interesting unknown titbits about the feature were released to mark the occasion, such as the fact Jamie celebrated her birthday during filming by jumping out of a helicopter as a stunt.
Arnold also previously revealed during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) that he nearly suffered a serious injury on set during a horse scene in which the stallion had to stop on the edge of a building.
“There was no rail, and the ramp was only 4 feet wide,” he recalled. “I realised it was a bad situation and I slid off the horse right away and a stunt man grabbed me. That one was really scary. If the horse stepped a foot the wrong way, we would have fallen 90 feet to a cement floor.”
