True, saw the samurai movie first. There’s a few westerns that have the same plot. I didn’t care, loved both samurai movies and spaghetti westerns.

“Could be good.
May be bad.
Probably ugly.....................”

Maybe they should considered doing it “For a Few Dollars More”

Still that would be a sin that was “Unforgiven”

seeing these remakes tend to suck regardless.

Bad enough that they felt they had to remake “The Magnificent Seven”.

Waiting for them to announce a remake of “The Wild Bunch”.

Given the direction of contemporary Hollywood it will be titled, “The Good, The Bad, and the Fabulous.”

They should make it “X” rated and call it “A Fistful of Condoms”.

When they attempt to remake “Once Upon a Time in the West” you’ll know the end is near.

now THAT is one movie that could never be remade! no actor in Hollywood could play the parts that Eli Wallach, Lee VanCleef and Clint Eastwood played in this iconic movie. not to mention the budget would be impossibly expensive to do justice to the original. some movies cannot be remade nor should they be. just my 2.

I know there are only a “few” basic story lines in Hollywood, but they really should try and write new versions. Simply re-making is lazy.

I am one of the few that saw it at the theater, and have watched it on TV. I love the Clint Eastwood/Lee Marvin version.

I don’t think ANYONE will redo a musical.
