The most horrible remake ever to be made

[Edward]

Worst remake ever: The Wicker Man. How could anyone even think of trying to remake a one-off classic of creepiness like that????

Not only an appalling veriosn, but the casual misogyny of the remake made me very uncomfortable.

I thought it was wonderful.

To take such a dramatic and creepy movie and remake it as a screwball parody? Genius!

Did you catch "Get Smart" remake?
couldn't even watch the whole thing. :rage:
I like actors but the whole films stunk bad, I mean horrible,
If you remember Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, I loved the series.

And yet, it was still better than The Nude Bomb. shakeshead

D.O.A. (1988)
I usually like Dennis Quaid films,
haven't liked Meg in anything yet...
WHEWW! what a stinker.

The Two Jakes (1990):

Not strictly a remake, but rather a sequel to Chinatown (1974). . . it's just awful.

Here here. I watched both of them back to back a few weeks ago, and I was astonished at how watered down the remake was. Even more so, mystified that they changed the religion to give it a matriarchal tone. How odd, considering they sacrificed him in a wicker MAN.

Yep, I couldnt' get through about 10 years ago. Earlier this year I tried again and while I made it through it, it was bad...

Try the Dukes of Hazzard or Starsky and Hutch if you REALLY want to ruin your day. They were both terrible. They appear to have been created as comedies, but they are both so bad that they are almost parodies of themselves. Horrible.

 

[scottyrocks]

I thought Starsky and Hutch was a parody of itself.

Worst remake ever? I have no idea ... there are so many. But I'm surprised that The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) hasn't been mentioned.

 

[Subvet642]

Hands down; The Women! Just terrible. That, and High Society, as a remake of The Philadelphia Story.

There is a lot of fodder here for potential horrible remakes..
50 Upcoming Movie Remakes (Yep, 50!)

 

[Pompidou]

Of those 50, I'm looking forward to the following: The Three Musketeers and Conan. There are a lot of movies on that list that I like, but those are the only two I think could really be something.

EDIT: Wizard of Oz remake by Sam Raimi of Spiderman fame, hoping to star Robert Downy Jr. as Oz. http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/disneys-oz-pic-gets-sam-raimi-to-commit-rabbit-hole-scribe-to-rewrite/?_r=true

I dare you to show me one that's worse.

Man,
That was painful!:rage:

Do you suppose anyone thought of just watching the original?[huh]

Agreed!
The Women is one of my favorite movies of all time, and, though I'm not big on remakes I admit I was just a tad curious about this one.
I forgot all about it until I happened to catch it on HBO or something a while back and I sat through the whole thing (don't ask me how)...what an atrocity!

 

[Diamondback]

That entire list makes me want to vomit--some of those, I remember the originals when they were in theaters. And don't even wind me up with this crap about Russell Crowe as The Equalizer in the next of the '80s-TV Big Screen Ripoffs...:rage:

50 Upcoming Movie Remakes (Yep, 50!)

Some of those on the list could stand a good remake. I loved Fright Night when it came out, but I think that it could be better. I mean, David Tennant (Dr. Who) will be in it. Commando, that's a given. With so many technical flubs in the original it is in dire need of a remake. Judge Dredd, yeah, prime candidate. All's Quiet on the western Front, not exactly a prime candidate, but I will be interested in seeing it.

Cheers!

I guess there is in theory a possibility that a remake would be better than the existing version(s), but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Undertow]

Psycho (1998). I've seen school plays with better performances than this rehash of a classic film.

Oh, I don't know - it wasn't nearly as good as the original, but I thought it was okay on its own. Personally, I wouldn't want to be on cast for any Hitchcock remake.

Hi

While this isn't exactly on topic, I really enjoyed both versions of "The Longest Yard". I was impressed that the plot line was updated, yet the same. Everything that happened in the first movie, happened in the second, but in a slightly different way and possibly to a different person.
