[Tricky]

And who's gonna be the midget hooker?

LOL I can see shoot's point though, the original had something missing - but it was an awesomely enjoyable film to grow up watching. I remember seeing it on pirate video, rented from my old video shop when it was at the cinema....1990, 1989? don't remember...I do remember my mum and dad giving their usual "let's hate everything that's not something we already like" mode of "well that was a fucking load of shit wasn't it" Come to think of it, why were they swearing like that in front of me when I was 9?? and...letting me watch the film in the first place...lol

On a similar note of course, we've got the Robocop remake on the way too!

+1 for an instant ban GO ON THEN! Ban me! You ain't got the guts! PS, 'The Running Man' was rubbish too.[COLOR="Silver"] LOL I can see shoot's point though, the original had something missing - but it was an awesomely enjoyable film to grow up watching.

Just something left me with an "eh", at the end. Maybe I just expected more from the most expensive movie in the world (at the time). The bulgy eyes thing was just stupid too. But Ironside WAS cool. But, he even made 'V' cool, so that wasn't hard for him.

But Ironside WAS cool. But, he even made 'V' cool, so that wasn't hard for him. After posting in this thread earlier I read up some on Ironside and it blows my mind to think that I am now older than he was when he was in V: The Final Battle. Crazy, man. He always seemed old, I mean grizzled as hell to me.

Colin Farrell to star? http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Total...ell-21345.html

I don't know how I missed this thread the first time around. I'm a huge fan of the original but for some reason the thought of a remake isn't getting under my skin. I guess I've become desensitized by this point. "dese people need eeeeeyar"?? Really glad I wasn't drinking something when I read this. Wasn't a huge fan of the original, so a remake could be good if handled correctly. You're on my shitlist. +1 for an instant ban Lets get him, Neil! [lights torch]

[AcesandEights]

I'll be honest, certain things about the original seemed flat and just plain boring or annoying. That said, I liked what they did with PKD premise, loved the beginning of the film and the action. And, of course, Michael Ironsides kicks ass all sorts of ass. I just didn't like the way they handled the mutants and the political aspects seemed very one-dimensional and boring. There's some classic cheese in that movie, though. EDIT: Wow, I need to read further back on these threads before replying. I only barely expanded on previous stuff from earlier posts I made.

He always seemed old, I mean grizzled as hell to me. you and me both, man. i wouldn't be surprised to find out that ironside is actually 176 years old. seems like he's been around forever and has looked much the same for most of it. ---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ---------- And who's gonna be the midget hooker? i heard that SoCalLoco was the favored choice to take over that role.

You're on my shitlist. But I liked 'Leprosy'. Am I off your list now?

[MikePizzoff]

But I liked 'Leprosy'. Am I off your list now? Yes. Didn't know there was another DEATH fan here other than me and Mike70... or even someone who knows who they are.

[shootemindehead]

'Scream Bloody Gore' was bollocks though. Just kidding. Two of my favorite albums from the late 80's.

Did you recognise Johny Cab as the doctor out of Voyager? They even made the face sort of look a bit like him robert picardo, also played meg mucklebones in legend. werent total recall and the 6th day based on the same book? some of the scenes were VERY similar, such as the cab scene

werent total recall and the 6th day based on the same book? some of the scenes were VERY similar, such as the cab scene Don't know about 6th Day, but Total Recall was based on a short story by Phillip K Dick - "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" If'n you hadn't known already, Dick wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", which was turned into Blade Runner...
