Timothy Daltons Simon Skinner wasnt supposed to have a moustache Dalton wanted one to give the character an extra layer of sleazy villainy and also provide a small reference to his role as Prince Barin in Flash Gordon. Its safe to say that the former Bond achieved his aim of being unsettlingly creepy, and this is helped by his odd car soundtrack choice Fire by The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown after Merchant is blown up, and Dire Straits' Romeo and Juliet after the acting couple Eve Draper and Martin Blower are killed. In fact, Wright thought so too in the scene where he drinks to Draper and Blowers demise Dalton accidentally looks at the camera, something which Wright liked so much that he not only kept the moment in the film but synchronised the sound a cash register opening with it.
