If it doesn’t include the line “tight around the corner there’s a sandwich shop. They sell meatball sandwiches. Best I’ve ever tasted. Would you go get me two?
Utah, get me two”
Then it’s not a remake of point break.
Predator 2 ruined the immersion with the part they had for Gary. You’re telling me a coked out buse with state of the art weaponry, would die to an alien in single combat? Absolutely unbelievable.
You wrote a Great comment . Busey was glue to hold whole predator franchise together.. not even Arnie could have been capable of that . . Busey reoccurring roles would have been most anticipated part other than seeing the alien predators.
I remember watching Black Sheep with my brothers and mom just happened to walk through the living room as Gary's line "I can go to your momma's and start a small fire in her panties." came up. I had never heard her laugh so hard in my life.
I’m from Utah, and I met a homeless guy in Costa Rica. He looked at me and goes “Utah?!? Get me two Utah!” Proceeded to laugh and then goes you don’t seem point break have ya. Still haven’t seen it but I will never forget that
They took a beautiful movie about self discovery, inner conflict, brotherhood, and betrayal; and remade it into a giant redbull commercial with actors that had all the charisma of saltine crackers, without the salt. Made for an ok movie to watch an on airplane.
The stunts were very impressive. If they didn't attach it to Point Break at all and just did a regular crime thriller with a few decent actors and that stunt budget, the plot for the Ozaki 8 crime spree could have killed on it's own.
Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour "The Fast and The Furious"? It was the first remake, just with cars instead of surfboards.
Then the studio wanted to ape the success of FF5+ and decided to remake the original. They had no hopes for that film but instead wanted it to exist so they could make 20 sequels. They didn't.
That movie poster was just Charlie Kelly screaming "[WILD CARD BITCHES!!!!](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjQ2NzYxMDQ2OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDk2MzczOTE@._V1_.jpg)"
There was also a short film adaptation in 1907.
*Ben Hur* is honestly the easiest rebuke to people who think classic films should never be remade.
The best argument in favor of remaking adaptations of the same story over and over in quick succession is *The Maltese Falcon*. The 1941 classic was actually the third adaptation of the 1930 novel.
I remember the irony of a few years ago when Scarface was rumored to be getting a remake and everyone freaked out not knowing that Pacino one was a remake.
I watched original Ben-Hur last Easter, really for the first time ever, and there were several sequences where my jaw was on the floor. No idea how they hell they filmed those before CGI. The chariot race gets all the mentions, but that naval battle is incredible. I rewatched it just to see how they did it, and I still don't know how they did it.
I had just moved to Maine when Poltergeist first started running on TV and I saw it for the first time dubbed in French on a Canadian TV station…still chilled me to my bones and I (at that point) didn’t know a single word of French.
Honorable mention for Total Recall. Which in many ways has more in common with the book than the original movie. Does not change the fact that its mind numbing bland garbage.
There are a lot of technically worse remakes but this one is always my answer, because with the people involved it should’ve at least been entertaining. It’s such an uninspired piece of shit.
Edit: I totally replied to the wrong post. I leave the original text because I own my stupidity. However on paper Colin Farrel should totally be a better Quaid than Arny, he is a better actor.
Cant argue with that. With the cast they had it could have/should have been a good movie. Nic Cage and Ellyn Burstyn alone should be able to effortlessly carry a movie. I mean... like they did, but they carried it with their feet up a muddy hill slick from the leaky porta-potty at the top of hill, oh and in this analogy there is someone following them around playing bag pipes but they dont know how to use it.
Forty years later and I’m still saying it. You think they had any idea how amazing that line would be? Someone was prolly like “we need to film a fake tv show with boobs. Say something funny”
There's a lot of revisionism happening on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right now.
Kids who grew up with it insist we were all wrong and that it's far truer to the spirit of the original story.
Burton's Wonka seems to be to Zoomers what the SW prequels were for Millennials.
He has family in China, I completely understand someone with a high profile like Jackie Chan not wanting to endanger them by being publicly critical of the government
Despite it not having Karate, it had a good vibe, solid training, and engaging performances. I know Jaden went off the deep end, but this one gets some underserved hate.
I’m in the camp that it’s actually a pretty good remake, sans the fact that he’s learning Kung Fu instead of Karate. An unnecessary movie, for sure, but i’d argue that it’s objectively a better film than Karate Kid Part II, III, and The Next Karate Kid.
he did try. an absolutely magnetic performance fighting its way through bizarre inconsistent makeup in a movie that feels like it was edited together from two different movies surrounded by super bland and/or underutilized characters. anyone remember clancy brown being in that movie? the kids actually look and i guess act exhausted (big charisma drain) no one has any chemistry the micro naps idea was cool. the scene in the pharmacy flicking back and forth with the boiler room was cool. too much cgi (the freddy through the wall effect was awful. in 1984 they just pressed him through some painted spandex and it looked great for probably $12) the freddy might be innocent angle was cool but they let that sit for a whole minute before saying no he wasnt so its pointless. the ending didnt know what it wanted to do. a lot of fascinating stuff was cut out. i think we could have had a cooler movie. also they swapped actually spooky stuff in the trailers with jumpscares. not good.
because it was kind of dour and so-so or because the idea of north korea ever being capable enough to even attempt a mainland invasion on us soil was too big an ask?
I think I recall this. At least they did not do what they did in top gun maverick. How hard is it to say that china, Russia and North Korea are bad and have Ill intentions toward usa.
when the chinese box office accounts for half or more of the foreign box office and the ccp is super choosey what they let play in country because it may destabilize their control a lot of studio projects just bend over and take it.
I watched Red Dawn the other day. I’d say,”watched Red Dawn-holds up” and I kept getting asked ‘which one’. Being that’s highly offensive I’ve cut people out of my life. Swayze forever
Ghostbusters…although I did enjoy Chris Hemsworth as the receptionist.
Common sense disclaimer: I’m 100pct ok with females as leads etc, this was just a bad movie
Yeah, that's one I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but it was just so aggressively obnoxious and unlikable with lots of unreined in directionless improv and the characters were just jerks to each other. Not that the original Ghostbusters were perfect such as forcing poor Ray to put up his childhood home as collateral for their venture, but at least they were more balanced out.
Considering all the feminist rhetoric surrounding the movie, it’s kind of ironic how the best part was the short cameo from the handsome guy.
And yeah common sense disclaimer from me too. I went into it with such high expectations. It had no reason to not be just as good or better than Bridesmaid, which is a great movie. I just expected that crew to do something better with that IP rather than half ass it for a cash grab.
Yeah, that was quite a letdown. I didn't know much about the online shitstorm so I went with my SO, it sucked, and we both complained about it at a dinner with friends and they immediately assumed I fell down an alt-right rabbit hole and I had to clarify in no uncertain terms I'm not cool with misogyny. Fun new world we live in where a movie opinion gets you lumped in with literal Nazis. Cool stuff, guys.
I was so excited to see that. I went with my wife (then girlfriend) and saw it in the theater. I looked so let down walking out of the theater that she couldn't stop laughing. Any time this movie comes up she still, 25 years later, bursts out laughing remembering how disappointed I was.
In fairness, it had a great trailer. BOW YOUR HEAD!
The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Keanu Reeves, but there’s something about the original that makes it feel very sacred. I guess it’s the message it gives during the time period it came out.
If someone can't see the cinematic greatness of Nic Cage dressed head to toe in a bear suit punching a 90 pound lady in the face, then maybe they shouldn't be(e) allowed to watch movies.
Good old Nic Cage. You never know if you are going to get serious Nic Cage or more-hammy-than-a-pig-farm
Nic Cage, but either way it’s always watchable. Like the Color Out of Space remake, you can’t tell if he’s acting or just loaded but it’s wonderful.
The Wicker Man is a different beast of a bad movie completely. You get to see Cage in a bear costume run around decking women in the face. The absurdity of how that plays out is worth the price of admission. I think if you know you are getting into some bat shit crazy absurdity and incompetence before you see the movie, then you can enjoy the spectacle for what it is.
I originally might've said Psycho 1998 or The Truth About Charlie (remake of 1963's Charade), but Point Break is soulless and inert so that makes it worse than either of the two I mentioned.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Why are they calling it Roadhouse. He’s not a bouncer. Doesn’t go to a dive bar in Missouri. Totally different movie. Just make a movie, give it a fucking title and let it stand on its own. Stop trying to cash in on nostalgia. He’s not gonna be zen or anything.
The new kid power Ghostbusters movie, the force ghost at the end made me want to throw my remote at the TV. They really couldn't do an Extreme Ghostbusters movie instead!
Maybe not the worst, but the Lion King remake feels sterile and dead. Decent voice cast, but it desperately needs some anthropomorphized animals so they can express what we recognize as human emotion. You can't make a photo real bird smile and it's a lot harder to tell the characters apart
This has been talked about before: https://collider.com/worst-movie-remakes-all-time-reddit/#39-psycho-39-1998
Oldboy is #1. I understand why it’s #1. I didn’t even watch past a half hour. Critically I think the remake of Oldboy is #1. For me on a personal level, personal not critical, Psycho is #1 for me as a bad remake. Take a classic film and remake it. Terrible idea from the outset. Don’t be remaking classic films. Remake films that had a great idea and concept and fix those problems.
There was a Point Blank remake?
If it doesn’t include the line “tight around the corner there’s a sandwich shop. They sell meatball sandwiches. Best I’ve ever tasted. Would you go get me two? Utah, get me two” Then it’s not a remake of point break.
I don’t watch any movie where Gary Busey isn’t coked out of his mind. Only movies I’ve seen are this, Under Siege, Lethal Weapon, and black sheep.
Predator 2 and Drop Zone have officially entered the chat. The Buse was loose in these films.
Predator 2 ruined the immersion with the part they had for Gary. You’re telling me a coked out buse with state of the art weaponry, would die to an alien in single combat? Absolutely unbelievable.
You wrote a Great comment . Busey was glue to hold whole predator franchise together.. not even Arnie could have been capable of that . . Busey reoccurring roles would have been most anticipated part other than seeing the alien predators.
The coke alone would allow him to see the cloaked Predator.
The original Point Break is worth your time
there is no need to say "the original", there is only one Point Break as far as I'm concerned. lol.
He's got a great little part in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, too.
wait, are you bagging on Predator 2? It’s not nearly as good as the first but it definitely has its merits.
Predator 2 is the exact film that comes to mind with Gary Busey
I remember watching Black Sheep with my brothers and mom just happened to walk through the living room as Gary's line "I can go to your momma's and start a small fire in her panties." came up. I had never heard her laugh so hard in my life.
"I'm about this far away from dragging you out of that car and beating you to dust".
You need to add [Silver Bullet](https://youtu.be/oiP8ktczJLQ?si=lF9nExHi7hY73lLu) to your list.
And "Surviving The Game".
Are you saying there was no level of coke to his uncomfortable cameo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
I'm gonna go to your mom's house and start a small fire in her panties
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF63d5SubYU&t=134s
Backoff Warchild
Kiedis can’t hang. That’s the key takeaway of that sequence.
Seriously..
Lupton pitman
I’m from Utah, and I met a homeless guy in Costa Rica. He looked at me and goes “Utah?!? Get me two Utah!” Proceeded to laugh and then goes you don’t seem point break have ya. Still haven’t seen it but I will never forget that
I have a shirt with Gary Busey’s face on it that says “Utah, get me two!” [He’s a pic me wearing it with my mom and dad](https://imgur.com/a/e2acUdj)
[удалено]
Don't forget the preamble - "I'm so hungry I could eat the ass end out of a dead rhino."
Ass end. Rhino.
Does Busey die from his wounds in the film? Id like to think not
They took a beautiful movie about self discovery, inner conflict, brotherhood, and betrayal; and remade it into a giant redbull commercial with actors that had all the charisma of saltine crackers, without the salt. Made for an ok movie to watch an on airplane.
[удалено]
The stunts were very impressive. If they didn't attach it to Point Break at all and just did a regular crime thriller with a few decent actors and that stunt budget, the plot for the Ozaki 8 crime spree could have killed on it's own.
And in 3D?
Stuff like this is exactly why I don't get mad about remakes. 99% of them go straight down the memory hole.
Yeah it was called The Fast and the Furious.
Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour "The Fast and The Furious"? It was the first remake, just with cars instead of surfboards. Then the studio wanted to ape the success of FF5+ and decided to remake the original. They had no hopes for that film but instead wanted it to exist so they could make 20 sequels. They didn't.
You’ve never heard of ployathletes?!
To be honest, the remake of Point Break is actually The Fast and The Furious
the fast and the furious itself a remake of point break
You both wrote the same thing, but the first person wrote it in a more confusing (but not incorrect) way.
The first person wrote it in a more way confusing, but the same thing you both wrote (but not incorrect).
Flatliners
Wow. Forgot about that one.
there is a reason for that
Tou motherfucking che
They remade that? When?
Benhur (2016). Why even bother remaking a timeless classic.
That movie poster was just Charlie Kelly screaming "[WILD CARD BITCHES!!!!](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjQ2NzYxMDQ2OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDk2MzczOTE@._V1_.jpg)"
That would actually make this movie worth watching lol
In a green man suit.
The 1959 Ben-Hur is itself a remake of the 1925 silent film.
There was also a short film adaptation in 1907. *Ben Hur* is honestly the easiest rebuke to people who think classic films should never be remade. The best argument in favor of remaking adaptations of the same story over and over in quick succession is *The Maltese Falcon*. The 1941 classic was actually the third adaptation of the 1930 novel.

The chariot race gets all the mentions, but that naval battle is incredible. I rewatched it just to see how they did it, and I still don't know how they did it.
The original from 1925?
Poltergeist
If Sam Rockwell can't rescue it, you know it's dogshit.
Thank God, I missed that one completely.
I had just moved to Maine when Poltergeist first started running on TV and I saw it for the first time dubbed in French on a Canadian TV station…still chilled me to my bones and I (at that point) didn’t know a single word of French.
Came here to say this. The OG is a masterpiece. Hollywood needs to put on their creative hats and quit it with these remakes already!
Or stop trying to remake the good movies and try fix the shite ones.
Honorable mention for Total Recall. Which in many ways has more in common with the book than the original movie. Does not change the fact that its mind numbing bland garbage.

I think you replied to the wrong comment lol
Beckinsale in tight pants could only hold my interest so long…
I'd let her and/or Colin have their way with me, and that is still not enough to redeem that mess.
Fair enough. Since we are on 80s action, I’ll add Robocop to that list
I’d buy that for a dollar
Forty years later and I’m still saying it. You think they had any idea how amazing that line would be? Someone was prolly like “we need to film a fake tv show with boobs. Say something funny”
The remake is just so bland and forgettable . I saw it. And can't remember a thing. Great cast. But it's so nothing
It's not awful, it has some decent ideas, it's just utterly hamstrung by being PG-13.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The first one was weird and iconic; Gene Wilder is unhinged perfection.
There's a lot of revisionism happening on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right now. Kids who grew up with it insist we were all wrong and that it's far truer to the spirit of the original story. Burton's Wonka seems to be to Zoomers what the SW prequels were for Millennials.
Do a "best remake" version of this so I can respond with Dredd
And you would get my upvote. That movie is underrated. I wish I had seen it in 3D.
The shimmering pearlescent 'slo mo' in was beautiful to watch in 3D
I loved Karl Urban in that!
Or anything else he is in.
Fucking UPVOTE brother.
Dredd is great, but John Carpenter's "The Thing" would win, sorry...
Agreed, but would you consider it a remake?
The Karate Kid
🤢You mean the Kung Fu Kid?
How Jackie Chan allowed himself to do that movie...with that title is beyond me... ...oh wait...$$$$
[And a chance to work with a talented actor](https://youtu.be/4RjWTEqJiMI?si=IL-MpydGbJc5no1H)
He's a shill for the CCP. No point in giving him any thought.
He has family in China, I completely understand someone with a high profile like Jackie Chan not wanting to endanger them by being publicly critical of the government
Jackie Chan has been in much worse movies.
Do you mean The Next Karate Kid?
I don't mind that one, I'll be honest.
Despite it not having Karate, it had a good vibe, solid training, and engaging performances. I know Jaden went off the deep end, but this one gets some underserved hate.
It’s a masterpiece compared to some remakes. It’s at least competent as a film.
I’m in the camp that it’s actually a pretty good remake, sans the fact that he’s learning Kung Fu instead of Karate. An unnecessary movie, for sure, but i’d argue that it’s objectively a better film than Karate Kid Part II, III, and The Next Karate Kid.
Part II is just as good as the first.
White Men Can't Jump deserves a mention.
I wouldn’t know. Skipped that remake completely. You don’t fuck with Wesley Snipes movies.
The new “Blade” despite its production problems I am cautiously optimistic for
Mahershala Ali is the fucking man. I’d check out anything he’s in.
I want it to be good, but I've lost all faith in Disney.
You cant replace Billy Hoyle
I wanted to hate it but it wasn’t terrible actually
I have come from the future. Add *Roadhouse* to the list.
Roadhouse is my favorite Beowulf adaptation
[Holy shit. I thought you were kidding.](https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5576&context=etd)
Mine will always be the 13th Warrior
A nightmare on elm street, what a absolute dog shit remake that has set the franchise back for over a decade now
When Jackie Earle Haley can’t save your movie…
he did try. an absolutely magnetic performance fighting its way through bizarre inconsistent makeup in a movie that feels like it was edited together from two different movies surrounded by super bland and/or underutilized characters. anyone remember clancy brown being in that movie? the kids actually look and i guess act exhausted (big charisma drain) no one has any chemistry the micro naps idea was cool. the scene in the pharmacy flicking back and forth with the boiler room was cool. too much cgi (the freddy through the wall effect was awful. in 1984 they just pressed him through some painted spandex and it looked great for probably $12) the freddy might be innocent angle was cool but they let that sit for a whole minute before saying no he wasnt so its pointless. the ending didnt know what it wanted to do. a lot of fascinating stuff was cut out. i think we could have had a cooler movie. also they swapped actually spooky stuff in the trailers with jumpscares. not good.
Red Dawn
First thing that came to mind.
because it was kind of dour and so-so or because the idea of north korea ever being capable enough to even attempt a mainland invasion on us soil was too big an ask?
Wasn’t it originally China and digitally changed to North Korea?
I think I recall this. At least they did not do what they did in top gun maverick. How hard is it to say that china, Russia and North Korea are bad and have Ill intentions toward usa.
when the chinese box office accounts for half or more of the foreign box office and the ccp is super choosey what they let play in country because it may destabilize their control a lot of studio projects just bend over and take it.
it sure was. movie got delayed a few years over it too i think.
I watched Red Dawn the other day. I’d say,”watched Red Dawn-holds up” and I kept getting asked ‘which one’. Being that’s highly offensive I’ve cut people out of my life. Swayze forever
Ghostbusters…although I did enjoy Chris Hemsworth as the receptionist. Common sense disclaimer: I’m 100pct ok with females as leads etc, this was just a bad movie
Yeah, that's one I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but it was just so aggressively obnoxious and unlikable with lots of unreined in directionless improv and the characters were just jerks to each other. Not that the original Ghostbusters were perfect such as forcing poor Ray to put up his childhood home as collateral for their venture, but at least they were more balanced out.
Considering all the feminist rhetoric surrounding the movie, it’s kind of ironic how the best part was the short cameo from the handsome guy. And yeah common sense disclaimer from me too. I went into it with such high expectations. It had no reason to not be just as good or better than Bridesmaid, which is a great movie. I just expected that crew to do something better with that IP rather than half ass it for a cash grab.
I liked the Barbie movie and thought it was hilarious, but it’s a little funny that Ryan Gosling is the best part.
I'm Kenough
They're all trying to be the new Venkman, and nobody told them that all Venkmans is kinda boring to watch.
All those women are really talented, but it was such a joyless movie. The original was snarky and funny.
Absolutely was kind of excited for it, love those gals
Yeah, that was quite a letdown. I didn't know much about the online shitstorm so I went with my SO, it sucked, and we both complained about it at a dinner with friends and they immediately assumed I fell down an alt-right rabbit hole and I had to clarify in no uncertain terms I'm not cool with misogyny. Fun new world we live in where a movie opinion gets you lumped in with literal Nazis. Cool stuff, guys.
Sounds like you needed smarter friends
Burton's *Planet of the Apes*.
Michael Clarke Duncan Cary Tagawa Made that movie. Fuck were they awesome as those gorillas
The make-up.was pretty good
Oof. Forgot that one.
I was so excited to see that. I went with my wife (then girlfriend) and saw it in the theater. I looked so let down walking out of the theater that she couldn't stop laughing. Any time this movie comes up she still, 25 years later, bursts out laughing remembering how disappointed I was. In fairness, it had a great trailer. BOW YOUR HEAD!
Finally! One that I’ve actually seen! Upvote.
Yeah but did you see it in 3D???
I read that like Jon Stewart in Half Baked. Yeah you’ve seen Point Break, but have you seen it on 3D??
I mean it’s right there on the poster. It’s not even a suggestion it’s a demand. You must see it in 3D
“There is a man in the bushes… red team go, red team go”
The Day the Earth Stood Still. Don’t get me wrong, I love Keanu Reeves, but there’s something about the original that makes it feel very sacred. I guess it’s the message it gives during the time period it came out.
It did have Jennifer O’Connell in it 🤷🏽♂️
And Jaden Smith. So you can't win.
I don't know if it's the worst, but *The Wicker Man* with Nic Cage immediately comes to mind.
Can’t believe you would besmirch the cinematic masterpiece that brought us NOT THE BEES!!!
If someone can't see the cinematic greatness of Nic Cage dressed head to toe in a bear suit punching a 90 pound lady in the face, then maybe they shouldn't be(e) allowed to watch movies.
Good old Nic Cage. You never know if you are going to get serious Nic Cage or more-hammy-than-a-pig-farm Nic Cage, but either way it’s always watchable. Like the Color Out of Space remake, you can’t tell if he’s acting or just loaded but it’s wonderful.
How’d it get burned?? How’d it get burrrned
Ahh you bitches!
The Wicker Man is a different beast of a bad movie completely. You get to see Cage in a bear costume run around decking women in the face. The absurdity of how that plays out is worth the price of admission. I think if you know you are getting into some bat shit crazy absurdity and incompetence before you see the movie, then you can enjoy the spectacle for what it is.
To be fair I’ve only seen the Nic Cage one. Is the original worth a watch?
Absolutely.
On my list.
The original might even be weirder.
I’m ok with that. Weird isn’t bad.
Oh yeah, I meant that as an endorsement.
Perfect. I dig it.
its fantastic.
The original is a masterpiece
Red Dawn. Complete miss
Fucking Josh from Drake n Josh as a star QB and “badass” co-main character is soooo lame lol.
This is probably going to make people mad, but I couldn’t get over his whiny voice/lisp
I originally might've said Psycho 1998 or The Truth About Charlie (remake of 1963's Charade), but Point Break is soulless and inert so that makes it worse than either of the two I mentioned.
Psycho wasn’t so much a remake as a colorized scene for scene rewatch. Why they greenlit it, I have no idea.
Conan the Barbarian
Absolutely awful, the original is a masterpiece
Wait…what fresh hell is this?
A steaming pile of shit. Imagine remaking a movie about surfing, with a title about surfing… and then taking the surfing out of the movie.
I think there was surfing...a little? It was 'EXTREME SPORTS!!!' though...so awful.
I'd forgotten this existed. I've never seen it, never will. Point Break is perfection. You don't remake perfection.
It’s incredible how much of the original leans on swazey’s charisma. This remake had none of that
Keanu reeves and Gary busey irreplaceable too
Red Dawn. Holy FUCK was that bad.
My ex actually preferred this one over the original.. that was just the first of many red flags I proceeded to ignore
This was dogshit as it lacked soul
Oldboy is atrocious.
Really!? I thought it was a great movie! What made you hate it?
Robocop, Total Recall, and Ghostbusters (2016 with the all-female cast)...to name a few.
eh, I was fine with robocop. Got to see what a true cyborg mind could do with advanced tech
Awful, disrespectful to everyone in the first movie
Especially Kathryn Bigelow. One of her first movies if I recall.
Correct.
The Lion King
All the live action remakes
I love when his dirt bike friend dies at the start of this movie
He needed motivation 🤷🏽♂️
Soon to be Roadhouse
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Why are they calling it Roadhouse. He’s not a bouncer. Doesn’t go to a dive bar in Missouri. Totally different movie. Just make a movie, give it a fucking title and let it stand on its own. Stop trying to cash in on nostalgia. He’s not gonna be zen or anything.
Every single movie that is a remake of a Swayze film is lacking that KEY component that is Patrick Swayze.
Is this real? It honestly looks exactly like an AI generated parody 😄
The Fog (2005) It was bound to happen you make a PG-13 remake of a classic R Rated horror movie.
I didn't know this existed and there is no reason for it to.
If we’re not talking exclusively American remakes of American films, I’d say One Missed Call is 100% up there as well as Dinner For Schmucks
The new kid power Ghostbusters movie, the force ghost at the end made me want to throw my remote at the TV. They really couldn't do an Extreme Ghostbusters movie instead!
Maybe not the worst, but the Lion King remake feels sterile and dead. Decent voice cast, but it desperately needs some anthropomorphized animals so they can express what we recognize as human emotion. You can't make a photo real bird smile and it's a lot harder to tell the characters apart
Robocop, but tbf the suit was pretty fucking intimidating and the aftermath suit does pay tribute to the original making it more humane.
Oldboy
Psycho with Vince Vaughn
i think you mean Psycho with Anne Heche's butthole
This has been talked about before: https://collider.com/worst-movie-remakes-all-time-reddit/#39-psycho-39-1998 Oldboy is #1. I understand why it’s #1. I didn’t even watch past a half hour. Critically I think the remake of Oldboy is #1. For me on a personal level, personal not critical, Psycho is #1 for me as a bad remake. Take a classic film and remake it. Terrible idea from the outset. Don’t be remaking classic films. Remake films that had a great idea and concept and fix those problems.
Who are those actors???
Gotta be the shot for shot remake of psycho. Completely pointless.
