DISQUS

TheGuyInThePJ's · 1 year ago

Horrible Idea. Don't get me wrong... I'm a whore for anything 80's, but this film needs no remake. The reason why the film works til this day is the camp factor. If you remake the film in present day it doesn't work. If you remake the film as a period piece thats set in the 80's, then you're setting yourself up for failure because you can't top the original. It'a really a lose-lose situation.

duval · 1 year ago

while i do enjoy Samuel Jackson's acting , i'm getting tired of hollywood recycling the same four black actors. Time for new faces.

marz · 1 year ago

i think jackson is the perfect actor for that part.now as for leroy i hope they actualy cast someone who knows martial arts and not just taught it in a few months.

bnitro · 1 year ago

Didn't really love the first one so... SHO NUFF!

Bruce lee has been dead for 30 years....whats this movie about again?

During its original theatrical run a matinee showing in Philly (on Easter Sunday if memory serves correct) resulted in a horde of teens clogging Chestnut Street kung fuing their way past cars, trash cans, pedestrians and shoppers. Now THAT is a movie!

grave dohl · 1 year ago

You have GOT to be shitting me right?!? And then what, Beyoncé as the Apollonia character?! This is as pointless a remake as any of the other pointless remakes out there. Loved the original, it was so campy it made it fun. Watch it now though and it's just flat out laughable. Wtf are they gonna do in a 'modern hip hop version'? Seriously, Sam Jackson is cool and everything, but Julius Carry is going to turn in his grave if they do this. Please Sam, stick to the Afro Samurai and leave the Shogun of Harlem alone!!!

They are done remaking all the blockbusters... now they are moving into my cult classic territory... meh.

THIS IS SO AWESOME! I wouldn't have it any other way. When you think of one bad mo'fo, you think of Samuel Jackson. I'm so behind this and look forward to it.

If Samuel Jackson doesn't have the afroriffic hair I am finna be pissed.

I'm torn. On one hand that's real nice. On the other that's like reinventing water.

INS · 1 year ago

hmmm agree that this movie was great because of the 80s and now cant say it will work....the cheesy arcade villain, the crazy fits, the loser villains he beat up in the club, asian fortune cookie cats, and the MUSIC!!!

Hip Hop version will probably be another shitty DMX/Jet Li/Ja Rule/Segal type action movie...

But yea, Samuel as Sho'Nuff is a cool choice. 'Yeah they derserved to die, and I hope they burn in HELL!!!!' 'Why am I always yelling in my movies!?!?!'

Vile82 · 1 year ago

They should use RZA or Robert Rodriguez for the music score.

Eric R. · 1 year ago

Get Tony Jaa to use Kirk Lazarus method acting!

tyrone breaux · 1 year ago

i could play leroy...seriously i've been in martial arts my whole life i've seen the movie and i can act

Goro · 1 year ago

I'm down with a LAST DRAGON remake as long as they use The Glow song! :)

I think there's a decent chance for some fun with this, but while i totally see SJ as performing the attitude of Sho 'Nuff, i really don't see him executing any great fight choreography.

Who's gonna be Bruce Leeroy?

luvbruce · 9 months ago

I think they should go with someone like Pooch Hall from the tv show "The Game". He has a background in boxing and martial arts, he's young, fresh, hip, up and coming, he has a fan base and is extremely talented.

whatever · 1 year ago

BRING TAIMAK BACK. HE NEEDS THE WORK.

korin · 1 year ago

Sam Jack is WAAAY too old to play Sho Nuff. This is a young people's story. The target audience is teens and young adults. They really need to give some new stars a chance. What about Anthony Mackie?

LOVE this movie. A hip hop update is a fantastic idea, or it would be if hip hop was still good. But I have to say I trust RZA's judgment.

Mikey M · 1 year ago

I am getting tired of Samuel Jackson acting the same in all his movies.

Lenny · 1 year ago

No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!
Another of my favs to be ruined. This and Poltergeist really do not need to be remade. I can get into some other updates but it's ridiculous when the movie was awesome as is.

The new trend of acquiring rights to forgen movies and burying them to do Hollywood remakes is really pissing me off! I want to see the original of Let the Right One In not some Americanized crap...

and I'm not allowed to see Paranormal Activity because some hack is going to remake it with a big budget for the masses??Bullshit!

joey · 1 year ago

what's next? road house remake directed by brett ratner?

edog · 1 year ago

@ Lenny

I agree on all counts. Burying well-received foreign films is only going to contribute to piracy -- if we want to see a movie, we'll find a way.

edc · 1 year ago

let the corpse fucking cool down before recasting and remaking.
or maybe we should remake cool hand luke with shia?

edc · 1 year ago

this just in..
a remake of the remake of the day the earth stood still is being made - director lars von der smütt tells mtv; "we saw the five minute trailer and it was so five minutes ago, we wanted to update it for a younger audience" keanu reeves will cameo as the general who believes nick jonas' alien is a threat.

entertainmenttodayandbeyond · 1 year ago

I remember that film being a lot of fun, but a remake? COME on. I also think Jackson would show up at your kids birthday party if you paid him. He's way overexposed!

DJR · 1 year ago

Hell the only reason I have a smile because of this is the inevitable remastered DVD of the original that is sure to be released in time for the remake.

the amazing null · 1 year ago

i wonder if they waited for Julius Carry's body to cool before casting sam to desecrate it? i bet not.

Like I said before.Every movie or everything I use to like as a kid ...........the legacy of it has been pissed on. From Teenage mutant ninja turtles remake, to the grinch, to the new muppet movie/fraggle rock movie to the thundercats to transformers to the star wars prequels to the new friday the 13th , nightmare on elmstreet , alien vs. predator movies and Charlie and the chocolate factory destroyed how i look at them.

I guess the wizard of oz is next!

MikeCrazy · 1 year ago

NOO!!! Fuck Samuel L! After afro ninja I kind of got sick of him. They should get Busta Rhymes to play Sho'nuff! And this is the best reason why!!!

Busta Rhymes - Dangerous (Video Time 1:53)

It' s time for something original let the past go move on....that's hollywood's problem

DenZale WashYaThong · 1 year ago

They should have Busta Rhymes or Snoop Dogg play Sho Nuff. LOL, Snoop Fits the body frame and he funny

Tonya · 1 year ago

Taimak needs to be in it, he's the original.
This won't work without him!
No Taimak No Remake!

BlackGeisha · 1 year ago

I'm co-signing for Tonya - there must be a nod to Taimak! Ernie Reyes is still in great shape too!

DenZel WashYthong · 1 year ago

Maybe Taimak can play his Master that sent him out to find the Glo?? That would be perfect.

Glasotw · 1 year ago

LOL Samuel L....Nice...I can picture him ranting now..." Am I the Baddest Mo' Fo lowdown around this town!"

Anyone see Taimak recently?? he's gotta be showing his age now too.

and who's playing Vanity's Part??

I say Danny Devito as Eddie Arcadia! LOL

rusportsminded · 1 year ago

I agree with MikeCrazy and Glasotw, Busta Rhymes would be a better Sho-Nuff, and Danny DeVito could be Eddie Arcadia. Who knows...maybe they could probably get Sarah Palin to be Eddie's girlfriend-LOL.

chevygee · 1 year ago

i think they should make kari hilson in for the Apollonia character she reminds me of her and lil jj in for richie...

Wtf has RZA ever produced besides music! Do not mess up a black movie classic! I'm upset at this crap!

Shawn O'Connell · 11 months ago

What an incredible waste of time!! I am sick of re-makes being done of movies that are classics for a reason. Leave the movie be as is, and get a new original idea for a change and impress America.

d marks · 9 months ago

Lets look at the next generation. Sho Nuff and Eddie Arcadia has been in jail long enough to have created some evil plots to get back at Leroy. Sho Nuffs in prison whipping up on everyone who thinks they're tough and Eddie's money has grown. He's now richer than ever before. Mean while Leroy has continued in the way of the peaceful warrior we all know and loved, with a few new discoveries in the golden glow. Just thinks the action all starts in the weeks before Sho and Eddie are released from prison. When Sho give Sho Jr. AKA Busta Rhymes the go ahead. all Im asking for is 1%of the movie round trip plane tickets for two and all acommindations paid for for the world premere. I'll give you the rest for free. The last Dragon 2 can be out of this world!!!!! all this can be negotiated at the drop off a dime.

That would have been the shite!

Heard this rapper from Atlanta got the Leroy role. Heard RZA liked his Last Dragon Mixtape so much that he cast him or is about to. Has anyone else heard this? I checked him out. His name is Ozy Reigns. The mixtape is really good. Made me want to go out and experience the movie all over again, which I did shorty after.

BUST RHYMES should have played sho'nuff -- he remade the character in one of his vides back in the 90's. As long as Meagan Good is not playing Laura Charles I may go see it. I'm tired of old black women playing teenagers.

monica77 · 4 months ago

Okay, the first time I saw this movie, I fell in love with the whole fantasy story. It was filled with action, comedy, and the little romance story was sweet too. I want to know if Taimak and Vanity will also star. Oh yes, and Johnny (don't know his real name yet :) ) too? There has to be sometype of scene / scenes that contain these stars.... Looking forward to seeing the remake ;)

Monica C

monica77 · 4 months ago

Oh yes, and I almost forgot to mention. Samuel is going to be nasty good as Shonuff!!!!!! I can't wait, just stay true to the story. Can you people imagine the types of scenes with today's modern technology ... oh WOW!!!!!!

loudobbs · 2 months ago

I think busta rhymes would be better to play the role of sho nuff!!

loudobbs · 2 months ago

I think Busta Rhymes would have made a better sho nuff..

jerric · 2 months ago

I dont know, making a remake of this movie would be the same as making a remake of Micheal jacksons Thriller video.

Some classics should nto be screwed with.

Insted they should make sequal, with Leroy as the master, and a student who thinks he has reached the final level.

God I could write the script right now with rush of ideas that just hit me.
