Remakes that never should have been made

Remakes that never should have been made

  1. Arthur
  2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)

There were two remakes, incredibly, a made for TV one which I haven’t seen and one with an over the top performance by John Travolta. Less is More, John, Less is More.

8477

Remakes that never should have been made

  1. Arthur
  2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
  3. The Ladykillers

The rare dud for both Tom Hanks and the Coen Brothers but I still enjoyed some of the dark humor.

8478

Remakes that never should have been made

  1. Arthur
  2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
  3. The Ladykillers
  4. Psycho

A shot-by-shot copy of the original? Really? Why bother?

Remakes that never should have been made

  1. Arthur
  2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
  3. The Ladykillers
  4. Psycho
  5. Total Recall (2012)

The original with Ahnold hit on the right formula. The remake was inferior in every way except perhaps in terms of special effects (which were perfectly adequate in the original).

  2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
  3. The Ladykillers
  4. Psycho
  5. Total Recall (2012)
  6. Overboard (2018)

It switches genders, where the rich person who goes overboard is a man. Not good.
