CHUD says it best:
I reject this notion. You can't remake this film. You can't remake Schwarzenegger in his prime, ripping phone booths out of walls, swinging on balloons in a mall, eating Green Berets for breakfast, pitchforking, machete-ing and rotary-sawing mother^^^^ers just to be creative. You can't remake Bill Duke and you can't remake David Patrick Kelly and Dan Hedaya, doing perhaps the best worst Latino accent ever. You can't remake 200-something soldiers with guns who couldn't hit water after falling out of a boat. And you certainly can't remake Rae Dawn Chong missing her self defense class for all this ^^^^. You might be able to remake a fat, bald Hispanic making a phone call in Val Verde, and you can certainly can remake a car chase in LA and even remake a little girl in danger. But by everything that is good and holy in this world, you sure as ^^^^ cannot remake Vernon friggin' Wells.
