Yeah I love it too.Especially when the action switches to England.

Hope you're joking! Otherwise, you're not much of a film fan!

For those who don't know, it's based on a novel by Donald Westlake (writing as Richard Stark). Films based on books featuring the character (all but one changed his name) are:

Made in U.S.A.
Point Blank
Mise Ã* sac
The Split
The Outfit
Slayground
Payback
Parker

Ah yes see the connection now!

Hey-less of the not much of a film fan!

I presume Walker was the most common name used?

You'd think so, but no. Every film has the character with a different name. And Westlake would only let them use the name Parker if a studio agreed to a multiple picture deal (which none did). It was only after he died that they were finally able to use the name.
