Can we stop it with the remakes already?

[Hotfoot]

Excuse me while I BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updates on 'Footloose' Remake and 'Electric Kool-Aid' - Cinematical

[toys2cool]

I thought part 3 was ok,nothing compared to the first 2,but it was decent.Now part 4 sucked ***! I think it was Hilary Swank


actually I think a remake of Footloose my not be so bad,I think it's suppose to be with Zack Efron.It should be ok

[jessica]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

No more I say. Oh, the agony....

...have....


pity.....

I think Hollywood is seriously running out of things to do new and instead of taking a chance with a new idea. They are doing remakes because they can at least interest people or fans of the older movie.

I think your latter staement is true the former is not. They have TONS of fresh material presented daily. The problem is you might have the next Star Wars but you are more likely to have the next Bangkok Dangerous (It was out this year - have you even heard of it?). With a bankable name even a bad movie like Planet of the Apes or Hulk can get the numbers in the black.

I don't work up a lot of emotion over remakes. Sometimes when they are really bad and agenda based I shake my head, like the The Day The Earth Stood Still. Still, the remakes almost always serve a good purpose of getting a newly transferred state of the art version of the old movie out on DVD and Blu-Ray. I doubt the original DDEST would be out on blu-ray so quickly without the remake they want to promote with it.

Which reminds me, I hope they remake Logan's Run so that a better up to date transfer of the original movie will be done.

Imagine that.
What,.. no Love for the 3rd One , Where we were to Believe Macchio was Working all this Chee' & Kung-FU ..Miyagi Taught Him for the Past 5 yrs,.. Only to look like the Guy ate Too Many CheeseBurgers ?

Come now,.. comming from you,.. I would believe you would think that the 3rd Film was the Greatest.

Really?

If I didn't know any better it sounds like you were calling me
a "moron" to my face....hope not because that would be lame, man.

And, for the record, no I didn't like the third----it really made no sense....
totally astray from the tight plotting of the first two.

lol! just saw Bangkok Dangerous it was decent until the last 3 minutes

Did anyone think it was weird that Arnold from 'Happy Days' played Mr. Miyagi? Always wondered who would win a street fight between him and the Fonz!!! The Fonz was tough but Miyagi knew Karate.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





"Jackie Chan Will Play Mr. Miyagi in New Karate Kid
Thursday January 15, 2009
According to EW, Jackie Chan will play Mr. Miyagi in a remake of The Karate Kid by Sony Pictures. He will serve as the mentor to 10 year old Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The movie will film entirely in China.

Another Karate Kid is sure to spark some curiosity, and it will be interesting to see the spin that Chan puts on the old Pat Morita character. On the other hand, it sure will be hard for this film to live up to the old one. In other words, there's a distinct possibility that the new version of this film might be another one of those 'wish they hadn't made it' remakes.

Kind of like Planet of the Apes, you know? So it's wait and see time for Karate Kid fans."

I Loved the originals , I don't think they should remake these though. I heard a lot of 80's films are on the remake block , some of my fav's I have heard I just dont think they should. Here's a few I have heard about recently....

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
Creature from the black lagoon
Teen Wolf
Judge Dredd
Dungeons & Dragons
Phantom
Robocop
Scream
Mortal Kombat
Super Mario Bros.
Masters Of The Universe

The Fonz wins.

Karate is really not that effective in a fight.

Boxing is so much more effective...watch these three boxers spar with these three karate fighters...

YouTube - boxing vs karate

The karate guys are not black belts...but the boxers are just amateurs...not pro boxers...so it's pretty even in terms of experience.

The Fonz could box.

Fonz KOs Miyagi in one round.

[Hector]

BTW...I love the first Karate Kid...I think it's a semi-classic...a real feel-good movie.

Yeah, like Damien said...GO KOBRA KAI!!!

[RG]

the 1st KK is a movie I grew up with and love ... yeah I see the cheese that is dripping off it ... and love some of the alter endings people have done on youtube. johnny wins etc.

2nd one has an ok story, but the fight at the end is pure BS ... no way could daniel win that one.

a new KK is just crazy ... after that 4th one they made I don't even see how they think the Karate Kid name will sell a movie.
