No, that was some other imaginary bird, called Fire Fox, I think. Hot bird, based on two novels I read. Good stuff. Clint wanted me to direct the films, but I was tied up in some starlets bedroom at the time, it seems, or so I was told. That's what she said.

A really hot mach 5 bird that blew the snow off mountains and caused the Kremlin to wish for lollipops. Not. No, the Russians really had us by the cojones in the novels and films.

So I had to stand in as Clint, because I am far better looking, and a better actor and director. I never got paid, though.
