The Bible is probably the hands down winner, even if you just limit it to the New Testament, no?

And imdb lists 9 remakes (for a total of 10 versions) of _Yojimbo_, though I’m feeling a little grain-of-salty about this list:

\*Per un pugno di dollari \*(1964)  
_Djang_o (1966)  
_Kozure satsujin ken_ (1976)  
_Hrafninn flýgur_ (1984)  
\*The Warrior and the Sorceress \*(1984)  
_Mariachi, El_ (1992)  
\*Xian ren zhang \*(1994)  
\*Last Man Standing \*(1996)  
\*Coyote Moon \*(1999) (V)

Wasn’t the Bogart version of the Maltese Falcon the third filming?

It depends on how you count [this film](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028219/).

Your links are broke, but I gather you meant “Satan Met a Lady.” There are those who’d sooner call that film a ripoff than a remake; I’m inclined to agree, from my one viewing.

Sorry. I meant “Sci-Fi-ish,” but I probably should have used “over the top” or “less fantastical.”

I’d heard Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was the remake king, somewhere… a Google search suggests ‘A Christmas Carol’, though.
