I mean in an awesomely bad way. Drop kicking Leelee Sobieski accross the room. Laying bitches out dressed in a bear suit. Jacking some lady’s bike at gunpoint. They should have an alternate ending with Cage kicking the crap out of the whole village Ghost Rider style screaming WHOS THE MAN BITCHES?!!! with the flaming wicker man behind him. It would have fit better with the rest of the movie. ---

The original is still one of the spookiest/eeriest movies I know. Plus it has Britt Eklund nekkid. ---
