I have been dreading this one for a while. The original wasn’t exactly Lawrence of Arabia, but it was entertaining and fun like a true cult classic. I don’t think any of that will transfer to the remake (if it ever is finished). It’ll be just another dumb action flick.

BTW, as long as we’re talking remakes (and cult classics), some bozo gave Tony Scott the go ahead to remake the 1979 flick The Warriors. From what I’ve read, it’s pretty much taking a whizz all over the original. They’ve dumped NYC for Los Angeles, and basically none of the original characters will be kept in the remake.

Oh yeah, and Scott is using actual LA gang members for some of the extras. Nice going there, Tony. /sarc.

No! They can't do that. The Warriors is a freaking CLASSIC!

No imagination anymore.

He was butt ugly in that movie, but boy did he grow up nice.
