I agree about his death not making the movie any better or worse. It did however add to the box office. I hate to say that, but I think it is true. D.K. IMO was a wonderful experience, but it was so depressing at the same time, because I knew that this was the last time I would see Heath on the screen in a new role. Sigh....: Bottom line: I would have loved this movie no matter what.
