Hard to believe he was 73... time really does fly.  Looking at pictures of his appearances from late last year, he still looked great and very fit.  Dying in your sleep sure beats a prolonged illness, but it is still scary how quickly we can lose someone.

Wow, I never noticed before: each of those claws also has a claw!   

I wonder if that was Peter's idea. Even if only visible on a high-def still image, that's commitment to the feel of the film.
