Big Trouble in Little China....being re-made....ARRRRRRRRR

[Ryujin]

Well, at least one movie has been made based on Gor- and no, it wasn't good. It got skewered on MST3K.

I guess there's a reason I didn't know that existed

Kind of wished I still did not know that existed.

If it didn't exist, I wouldn't have one of my favorite MST3K episodes to enjoy.

If MST3K didn't exist we would not know what a bomb of a movie something is and we would waste 90 minutes of our lives!

When I first heard about the BTiLC remake I thought nooooooooooooooooo!
When I heard who was in it I thought nooooooooooooooooo!
When I read the Empire article I thought nooooooooooooooooo!

So in short my considered opinion is nooooooooooooooooo!

Now this really pisses me of to no end...

Redoing the movie is one thing but The Rock?!? He is Not the character I would use. What made the movie was how out of his depth the main character was. The Rock looks like he can handle anything. Eh..... DVD rental.

 

[Morlock]

Will skip. But look on the bright side, the kids might get curious and go find the real BTiLC.

Mildly curious and/or optimistic about the remake. Yes, it'll probably be awful, but the Rock is a charming and funny actor, and the screenwriters did X-Men: First Class, which was a clever, entertaining blockbuster.

There's one thing a remake has in its favor: at least US audiences are more familiar now with the Asian martial arts films the Big Trouble referenced. At the time, Carpenter and company did an American version of a (sub)genre that was relatively new in its native Hong Kong and basically unknown here.

Of course, the huge strike against it is the original was so idiosyncratic and the writing was so good it's hard to imagine the remake will avoid flattening out all of it's charm, or worse, simply repeating the many, many wonderful lines of dialogue.
