Name a movie that will have a crappy remake

[earsofdoom]

I think we are all tired of all the crappy remakes of our beloved films so i made this thread so we can poke fun at how badly they do remakes. just name a movie and mention stupid things they will do to ruin it

The Thing: they would get "frodo" to be the main character, and change the cast from full grown hardened men to angsty teenagers.

[Sendo Takeshi]

[ryushe]

Thundercats. now [/Thread]

The Thing has already been remade.

[RPGQueen]

A Clockwork Orange. Alex is just misunderstood and finds himself to become good, and they would take out all the porn stuff.

[earsofdoom]

The Thing has already been remade.

You mean the game right?

[Panko Z]

The Host

i haven't seen the original yet but i doubt the American version will match up.

[Bernard_Monsha]

You mean the game right?

No The Thing was a remake of the 1950's Horror movie Thing from Another World.

[earsofdoom]

No The Thing was a remake of the 1950's Horror movie Thing from Another World.

Oh, I guess remakes were actually decent back then.

[Raziel_MGS]

-Flubber, which was a remake of an older film which i just saw recently and was infinitely better

-Indiana Jones

[Bernard_Monsha]

-Indiana Jones

They are doing a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark?!

[lmc87]

Anything that will have a crappy remake? knowing hollywood anything has a shot at being remade.

[Sendo Takeshi]

A sequel, actually.

[Raziel_MGS]

and it shall be terrible

[Bernard_Monsha]

A sequel, actually.

Indiana Jones and the Assisted Living Community of Doom!

[superplough]

New Star Wars movies [/thread]

[Till]

That japanese remake of Django. Sukiyaki Western: Django, from Takashi Miike and Q. Tarantino.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Indiana Jones and the Assisted Living Community of Doom!


I would pay to see that. Nothing more fun than 85 year old Nazi's getting back into the spirit of things. Pauly Shore is rumored to make a guest appearance as the home attendant.

[goddessofanime]

Sooner or later, y'all just know someone's gonna do an American version of Battle Royale wihtout the violence.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...Titanic.

please don't let them screw up the new Street Fighter Movie.

[DarkDestiny]

New Star Wars movies [/thread]
Superplough wins.

[LadyNepenthe]

"Ben"...the musical sequel, with their show stopping hit ((not really)), "rats need lovin's too".

"Blade 4"...nuf said.

"back to the future" remake, with Shia lebouf as marty mcfly, Bernie Mac as Doc Brown ((no pun intended)), and Angelina Jolee as Lorrain...

[sasami-riyo]

:censored: NOOOOO!!! :heart failure: my childhood...is dying....

[Evil_Koala]

I think they need another Air Bud.

[sasami-riyo]

heh, is that some kind of sick joke?

[Sendo Takeshi]

As much as some of us would love that, it's not gonna happen. So, sleep well, little one.

I forget what it was called, but during the previews for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie there was a preview for a movie coming out eventually that was about a bunch of criminals who are stranded on an island by the government and are forced to kill each other off for our entertainment until there is one left. Sound at all familiar?

[Woooh]

Evil Dead 1...which has already been confirmed for 2008
Although, this is a bit backwards...it's already a crappy movie.

[Evil_Koala]

I just saw something on TV

A remake of Hairspray -_-

[Daishikaze]

Sooner or later Hollowood will get around to remaking or making a sequel to every film that did even alittle bit of business for them. also they will take ever TV show that was ever popular an turn them into bad movies too. This is the future, and the future is going to suck really badly.

[Dr. Ezra]

I think they need another Air Bud.

You mean Air Buddies wasn't enough?

Lawl.

[Evil_Koala]

You mean Air Buddies wasn't enough?

Lawl.

That was the best one yet! I think we're really tapping into some gold here.

[Tuna]

Blackula, definitely.

It was called Condemned.

No. I can take this to a whole new level:

[Tuna]

OMG - it even has Coolio...
:blink:
*tips hat*
:P

[Nigokio]

Every movie from 1950-1999 will be remade into something inferior to its original because originality died before the turn of the century.

The funniest damn thing i ever saw

[Suki]

Battle Royale.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

It was called Condemned.

THAT'S RIGHT!!

I'll never forget how as soon as that trailer ended, I thought to myself, "I'm sure everybody here's also thinking this is nothing more than a...", just to get cut off from my thoughts by my friend right next to me yelling "BATTLE ROYALE RIP-OFF!!" -_-;

[Depression]

Funny thing is, if they were to make a Battle Royale remake, people would be calling it a ripoff of Condemned. :rolleyes:

[The Million Dollar Prons]

and Battle Royale was just a ripoff of the Running Man.

[Depression]

Touche. (FILLER)

[Solid_Snake]

Evil Dead 1...which has already been confirmed for 2008
Although, this is a bit backwards...it's already a crappy movie.
Yea, no. Too bad it has one of the heaviest Cult followings ever. It's an amazing movie.

Now. Horror remakes suck. I have only seen ONE horror remake I injoyed, and that was the Tom Savini Night of the Living Dead remake in the 90's. The Dawn and Day remake both sucked out loud.
The movies in bold are happening. The movies non-bolded are not as of yet.

Hellraiser.
Friday the 13th.(Though it is sorta a prequel.)
HALLOWEEN!(Seriously. Rob Zombie can't even sing. Why is he making movies? And raping one of the most amazing films in history of Horror?)
Nightmare on Elm Street.(Sorta a prequel to Freddy's Death. That will probably be worse than the TV series telling of said events.)
The Crazies.(Another George A Romero movie being raped.)
The Birds.(Hitchcock must be rolling in his grave.)
Evil Dead.

Non-Horror movie remake speculaions that I would cry if happened:

The Godfather.
Mean Streets.
Taxi Driver.
Raging Bull.
Heat.
Another Scarface remake.(The original was good. The Al Pacino remake spawned a million fake gangsters.)

PS: Yes. Basically remakes should be made illigal.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...wow. Coolio?

DAAAAAAMN.

[Undrave]

They already had 'The Birds 2' with no real ending :p

Altough with today's technology the Birds could be more impressive looking.

A Karate Kid remake where the kid is a getho kid trying to fight gun with fists.

Gremlin and Short Circuit where the lively animatronics are replaced by cold and stiff CGI models -.-

[Dr. Ezra]

In response to Solid-Snake's Post:

Hellraiser.
I wanted to kill someone throughout those movies. Lame. Lame. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Friday the 13th.
How many are there? 10?

HALLOWEEN!
Don't even get me started on Halloween.

Nightmare on Elm Street.
Gyah! Doesn't get any worse than that!

As a horror movie addict, I was disappointed with all of these remakes.

[Haro!]

Gremlin and Heart Circuit where the lively animatronics are replaced by cold and stiff CGI models -.-
I'd cry if they ruin Gizmo...

[Sendo Takeshi]

You can't top Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan. Jason....IN MANHATTAN!!!! What a crazy concept. Straight up looney tunes. All Jason had to do was take those people to a restaurant and the staggering prices would have killed them. Hell, why don't we give Jason a time machine? Oh, wait....NO! We'll throw the douchebag INTO SPACE!!!! Jason X was the worst thing ever. It was just comedy. Just watching him backhand a robot chick's head off was amazing.

Remaking a horror movie is almost impossible. You can't make it any worse than the original. You just can't.

[StandingAlone]

All the Bruce Lee movies with Samuel L. Jackson as Bruce Lee's characters... oh wait, that would be one hell of a collection!

*Or somehow find a way to edit Samuel into all the movies.


Crappy Remake- Mortal Combat or any more sequels

[Solid_Snake]

Agreed. Remakes suck. :(

Jason Takes Manhattan was my favorite in the series. It was definately the last, good FT13th Movie. After that we got Jason Goes to Hell(Which did as much for Jason as Halloween 3 did for Micheal.) And Jason X.

[Ikari Warrior]

ANY movie that has been made will have 3* crappy remakes to one good remake, versus the original.

*this is using King Kong as a basis, and not counting sequels.

[Evil_Koala]

The Godfather.
Mean Streets.
Taxi Driver.
Raging Bull.
Heat.
Another Scarface remake.(The original was good. The Al Pacino remake spawned a million fake gangsters.)

PS: Yes. Basically remakes should be made illigal.

Because Godfather III wasn't bad enough...

[Suki]

and Battle Royale was just a ripoff of the Running Man.

And Battle Royale had a better plot.

[LadyNepenthe]

Casablanca.
...with EXPLOSIVE special effects, a 2 hour sex scene, and pretty much anything and everything they possibly could do to make sure the movie did NOT have a story line.....
((i swear, if they did do this, i'd have to kill someone))

[Jatz]

Dirty Harry, he'll now be emo.

[Daishikaze]

Casablanca.

((i swear, if they did do this, i'd have to kill someone))

Don't give them any ideas, this is hollowood we're talking about, they now take all their ideas from the internet, remember that "Snakes on A plane" abortion ?

Now they're going to do it, they are going to ruin Casablanca, maybe not now, but the idea has now been put on their "to do" list from hell!

[Ikari Warrior]

Now they're going to do it, they are going to ruin Casablanca, maybe not now, ...

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, and for the rest of our lives! (if they make that god-forsaken remake).
