Roy Focker Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I read that too. He make a good nuff Sho nuff but the movie doesn't need to be remade. Would it be serious revision? Part of the movie's charm is the silliness.
Kelsain Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) When I heard this on the radio yesterday, I literally laughed and applauded at the same time. Yes the original is a cheesy cult classic. But c'mon!! It's Sam MuthaF'n' Jackson playing Sho Nuff!! YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!! NOW WHEN I SAY, "WHO'S THE MASTER?", YOU SAY... "SHO NUFF!!" I dunno, it just seems TOO easy. It's almost like every role Jackson has done in the past 10 years has been inspired by Sho Nuff, especially in the blockbusters. It looks like he's already Sho Nuff, by the look of the Spirit trailers. Besides, the last thing I want in my campy, ridiculous movies is good special effects! Edited October 31, 2008 by Kelsain
electric indigo Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I just read that the original Shogun of Harlem, Julius Carry III, passed away on Aug. 19th.
doodler7 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Man! I just bought my Hot Toys action figure...this means that they're coming out with another 1/6 action figure! wtf? They'll never match the original Robocop's "rawness". Just like any marketing, money making machine...always recycling promotions, milking it, milking 'em and squeezing every dollar's worth out of great ideas that worked...showing us these sucky ass unqualified execs and writers/producers who are "hollywood." They need to remake Stepford Wives again with lots and lots of girls, girls and girls...cuz sex sells...with a lesbian theme kinda thing going.
Keith Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I just read that the original Shogun of Harlem, Julius Carry III, passed away on Aug. 19th. NOOO! Lord Bowler died of pancreatic cancer? Suck!
Roy Focker Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Hey Busta Rhyhms could have played the role as welll.
Excillon Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Hey Busta Rhyhms could have played the role as welll. He already did play the role, if you count that music video from way back...
Garou Kuroryuu Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I used to work for a company like that..... OOT: You worked at IBM? OT: What's with the endless remakes tsunami??????? And remakes of BAD movies!!!!

lord_breetai Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I guess technically the new (rumored) Cap't America is a remake... but MTV has a story that will smith is being offered the titular role: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080908r.php Gotta say, I think Will could really pull this off, if it's true. He's got the charisma and the physicality to be able to pull it off. He just needs to bulk up again like he did for Ali Augh... no, just no. Captain America is one character who's whiteness is essential. Because he WAS the Nazi ideal, a blonde haired, blue eyed example of human perfection. But he was so against everything the Nazi's stood for. Being that he suffered from polio before becoming the Captain and was weak, he had a better understanding of the plight of those who were stepped on by society for thought of as inferior (even in the US). Making him anything but a blonde-haired blue-eyed, perfect human, ruins the essential irony and commentary of the character. BOO!
Garou Kuroryuu Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 YUP how'd you guess If you're serious.... I did as well
Jeremy007 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Augh... no, just no. Captain America is one character who's whiteness is essential.

Making him anything but a blonde-haired blue-eyed, perfect human, ruins the essential irony and commentary of the character. BOO! Will may not be Steve Rogers/Captain America. Marvel released an awful miniseries a few years back called Red, White and Truth or something like that and the story was that the FIRST test subject for the Cap.Am. program was an African American Tuskeegee pilot, whos name i forget....according to this storyline, Steve Rogers was the second captain america. just another fantastic way that marvel rapes continuity.
taksraven Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like another "Apes" movie might be in the works, but this time they are talking about a remake of "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes". Weird, eh..... http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/081103f.php Taksraven

Say wha? That's stupid. A black super soldier is fine... but Captain America was the Weapon 1, and he was the test subject for the serum. I calll shennanigans.
Jeremy007 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 you are not the only one. this stunt is one of the many that made Joe Quesada the hated man that he is today.
eugimon Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Say wha? That's stupid. A black super soldier is fine... but Captain America was the Weapon 1, and he was the test subject for the serum. I calll shennanigans. it's an interesting idea that mirrors RL events and it would have been an excellent idea as a What-If? title or even as part of the Ultimate continuity.
eugimon Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Spielberg and Will Smith are reportedly interested in reviving the Oldboy remake. I have to say those two are completely wrong for the project, imo. Actually, Oldboy is so damn near perfect I have a hard time accepting any idea of a remake at least so soon and at least when most Americans have never even been exposed to it. Let Charlize Theron do her Lady Vengeance remake, which I thought was good but a lesser film and much more approachable for mainstream audiences, and then use that to piggy back a theatrical re-release of the original Oldboy.
Jeremy007 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 couldnt agree more. Oldboy is a FANTASTIC movie which does not need to me remade. IMO, Lady Vengeance doesnt either...nor does Sympaty for Mr. Vengeance...which im sure will get remade since it is a part of that trilogy. The Korean Revenge trilogy is probably my favorite trilogy ever. Look what the US did to Bangkok Dangerous...they ruined it....the original was great. I hate remakes.
eugimon Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Oh, I don't think any of the Revenge films need a remake but I would be interested in Charlize's take on the character and story.
dizman Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 If anyone from holywood is reading this, we need a remake of the Abyss and Blues Brothers. Oh a total remake of Star wars Ep.4-6 would also be appreciated. Lastly, Will Smith in another over the top annoying action movie that no one understands would be nice too.
electric indigo Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Oh a total remake of Star wars Ep.1-3 would also be appreciated. Corrected for thruth.
taksraven Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Corrected for truth. Corrected for spelling. Taksraven
electric indigo Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Corrected for spelling. Agk! Baka gaijin. Just saw The Thing on TV and thought this needs a remake with Cloverfield shakycam and such, then read about Ronald D. Moore already being involved in the work. Guess it was even mentioned in this thread. Is it true that (oh noes!) Natalie Portman was cast for this?
bigkid24 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Did anyone mention the Karate Kid remake? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155076/
Warmaker Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Did anyone mention the Karate Kid remake? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155076/ Only if they bring back the "You're the best around" song with it
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 karate Kid?? sweet, they need to get that cuban taekwondoist bloke that tried to kick the head of the olympic referee.
Gubaba Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Agk! Baka gaijin. Just saw The Thing on TV and thought this needs a remake with Cloverfield shakycam and such, then read about Ronald D. Moore already being involved in the work. Guess it was even mentioned in this thread. Is it true that (oh noes!) Natalie Portman was cast for this? Enh, forgot the Thing. How about a remake of Cloverfield?
taksraven Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Enh, forgot the Thing. How about a remake of Cloverfield? What, remake it into a decent movie. Impossible. Taksraven
taksraven Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Enh, forgot the Thing. How about a remake of Cloverfield? Actually, I would like to see a CG remake of the original transformers movie. That would be cool. Taksraven
Wes Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 couldnt agree more. Oldboy is a FANTASTIC movie which does not need to me remade.

The Korean Revenge trilogy is probably my favorite trilogy ever. Look what the US did to Bangkok Dangerous...they ruined it....the original was great. I hate remakes. I just don't even see how they can make Oldboy in our (American) setting, much less how awesome it was. Why can't they just make a new movie? Those aren't that hard! Only if they bring back the "You're the best around" song with it I don't need a rap remake of that...well I'll go with speed metal. You know let Tool do the cover.
electric indigo Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 IMDb reports Joe Johnston as director for Captain America. Stan Lee supports Smith for the role. Btw, Beyoncé wants to be Wonder Woman - do I see a pattern here?
ly000001 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Did anyone mention the Karate Kid remake? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155076/ Will Smith's kid has been cast for it: Jaden Smith set for 'Karate Kid' redo So he's now involved with two unneeded remakes
