If Adam Sandler can remake The Longest Yard....why not BTILC?

Even tho I'm a Rock fan, this remake will suck. On ice.

Mad Max remake was great.

This... this idea should not even have gotten past the first meeting. What the hell are they going to do next, remake "Escape From New York"????

The Mad Max remake was directed by the same directer of the Road Warrior and Mad Max so yeah that probably had something to do with it.

'Big Trouble in Little China' is one of my top 10-15 favorite movies from my childhood. All I know is that if they go through with this thing, they'd better do it justice. Don't make it a lame, bad CGI-fest with The Rock doing a cheesy impersonation of Kurt Russell as Jack Burton.

If they're going to do it then they need to make it more serious and action-oriented and remove the satirical aspect of the film. There's no need to try and top what BTILC did; they should just focus on taking it in a different direction.

On a side note my little brothers are just graduating HS and a freshman in collage and at Christmas I showed them Big Trouble in Little China and they thought it was the greatest movie ever made.

This is one of my favorite movies from teenage years. Russell is so good in this. No way the Rock will do it justice.

Russell drops so many epic one liners in this film. Plus I believe it's where mortal kombat got the idea for Raiden, cld be wrong tho.

They should just remake films that weren't made well the first time. I blame O'bama for this crap.
