I totally agree there are some movies that just don't need remaking, how could anyone make the original Karate Kid better? It's just too awesome already. Wax on, wax off.


Heh hehe I said wax off

Jackie Chan is a strange choice too. The whole point of Mr. Miyagi in part one was you had to wonder if the old crackpot was really a Karate master, or just using the poor kid. With Jackie Chan in the role, it just ruins the whole setup. Not to mention he will try to take over the movie...

Yeah, that kind of struck me as a little odd too.

Personally, I think the film is going to suck ass. As much as I like Jackie Chan, I just don't see Will Smith being able to top what the original film gave us.

They're just making money off of the fact that kids today are so retarded. Studios can make a film about absolutely nothing and make insane amounts of money. I'm not saying the 80's were immune to craptastic films. It just seems to me that there are more craptastic films than there was in the 80's. I like movies and I try to give every movie a chance, no matter how lame it may be. But it really stretches my tolerances when movies like, "The Adventures of Lava Girl and Shark Boy," "Bratz," and, "Daddy Day Camp," are considered the epitome of children movies.

What the ---fudgesicle---? What the hell happened to having a ---smurfing--- commune with 99 guys and 1 woman all living in giant mushrooms and having daily acid trips where they see a giant?

I think that it should be against the law to remake anything newer than forty years old.  Some stinkers that I can think of that were terrible affronts to the originals:

'Psycho' remake...
'La Femme Nikita' remake - 'Point Of No Return'...
'Alfie' remake...

...not to mention I think that movies based on television shows should at least be true to the original spirit of the shows.  I realize it's easy to make a comedy out of some of these shows but some folks actually watched the shows when they were originally on and didn't notice or become aware of the camp until years later.  :)

'Starsky and Hutch'
'Dukes Of Hazzard' - (HATED this show as a kid)
...and I've heard rumors of an 'A-Team' movie...screw that up and I'm comin' for ya'!  ;)

Does that include all the foreign films that get re-made as "American originals"?  ;D

shmokes:
Apparently . . . La Femme Nikita made the list.

But, with the 40-year rule we'd be without Dawn of the Dead, The Italian Job, The Ring, The Fly, Thomas Crown Affair.
