Yonekura Ryoko

BMW

Realizing that Ryoko would make the perfect Mrs. Peel isn't dating ourselves.

It just shows that we have an appreciation of the classics, and the ability to recognise perfection when we see it.

And boy, would she kick ass in that role!

Literally and figuratively. :woot: :applaud:

Man, I'd love to see it. It would help to get the bad taste of Uma Thurman out of my mouth.

Oh yeah. Did that remake stink it up or what?

I don't know what was worse, the remake of The Avengers or The Mod Squad.

Just plain awful.

The Mod Squad just sucked.

That remake of the Avengers pissed me off.

Both were ill-conceived and shouldn't have seen the light of day...

I think I can name the number of good remakes on one hand, if not one finger: The Fugitive.

Ah dang.

Now I'll spend the rest of the day trying to think of remakes that were worth watching.

I agree, the Fugitive remake was good.

Now I'll spend the rest of the day obsessing about any others.

It's like getting a bad song stuck in your head.

You're a bad man BMW.

Bad to the Bone.





George Thoroughgood and the Destroyers. :D

Awful remakes:
1. Mission Impossible - an insult to the original TV cast, they had the Peter Graves character become the bad guy and killed off the crew just so Tom Cruise could have his own spy series

2. Planet of the Apes - better special effects, but completely lacking the depth of the original, and a terrible ending

3. Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves - I like Kevin Costner, but he was abyssmal as Robin Hood and they butchered the tale


Respectable remakes:
1. Sleepy Hollow - The Johnny Depp / Tim Burton combination produced an eccentric winner

2. The Thing - My uncle saw the original black & white in the theaters when he was a kid, said he was so scared he hid under his chair. The remake with Kurt Russell was enjoyable.

3. The Fly - Jeff Goldblum deserved an Oscar nomination

4. Scarface - Perhaps the best crime film since the Godfather 2


NOTE: I'm not including remakes of foreign films

Nothing comes close the Errol Flynn version.

Nothing.

Dotch Cooking Show. :love_eyes:

I'll agree with all of PCM's Awful Remakes.

But I have to disagree with your "Respectable" list. I much prefered the originals in each case.

But I did come up with a GREAT remake.

"The Maltese Falcon" 1941. Staring Humphrey Bogart.

Now that one kicked the dookey out of the original from 1931 staring Rickardo Cortez.

I also sort of preferred "Zoro; The Gay Blade" to the original movies.

bmwracer,

are those screen captures recent of Ryoko? how did you save them and post them up, just like regular pix?
she looks good. :applaud:

You have got to be kidding...

The Mark of Zorro with Tyrone Power is classic.

I captured those images from a recording of the Dotch Cooking Show that they televise every Saturday night on KSCI-18 at 8PM...

It was a little complicated, but I had to record the show on VHS, make a digital recording using a digital video camera, then transfer the recording to my PC via Firewire. From there I encoded the recording to MPEG, then made screencaps using PowerDVD.... :sweat:

Thanks.

If you didn't notice, my avatars randomly change with each screen refresh, thanks to a program that my image host has... :D
