I would really like to see the last chapters of Magnum. Of course Selleck.

I second 12 O’Clock High, Rat Patrol, and Combat (although the later was loosely remade in the late 80s, set in VietNam and called “Tour of Duty.”)

The problem with remaking shows like Wild Wild West, Rat Patrol, Combat, and 12 O’Clock High is finding modern actors to replace the likes of Robert Conrad, Christopher George, and Robert Lansing, to name a few. Who are you going to find among TV’s “metrosexual” actors today to be the “man’s man” for shows like these?

As far as seeing a movie made, I would love to see a feature length film about the story of the last stand of the tin can sailors. If you have never heard of this story, get the book and read it! Here’s the link:

Yep, scripted by Tom Clancy. That would be worthwhile.

Instead, the Hollywood idiots are trying to put together a feature film based on that show, starring Matthew McConaughey.
