It's going to be awful hard to find a hottie worthy of filling Heather Thomas C-cups

Two words. Yvonne Strahovski.

Why not? It's not like the original was sacred ground or anything. And as someone who works in the business (post production, I don't jump around and shiat), I see it as positive thing for there to be a show that recognizes stunt men. Although Tom "I do all my own stunts" Cruise might file an injunction.

The return of Colt Seavers? Sure,why not?
 
2011-11-01 12:08:31 PM
Are they going to update it, so the show is mostly him standing around in front of a blue screen waiting for CGI to render or something?

Needs more Markie Post.

William shatner is far to busy to reprise that roll.

I see that Markie Post has already been mentioned. Good work... Now I need a moment alone.

Oh thank goodness. I was just noticing that there was a severe lack of jacked-up pickup trucks on the roads these days.

Might as well remake the Stunt Man.
 
2011-11-01 12:27:20 PM
I read that as a "Full Gay" remake.

Huh.

I just got to talk to Markie Post over the phone. She was working with my brother on a stage thing and he had her phone me as a joke. Remarkably nice lady.

The subject of me whacking off to her bikini pics when she was on the Fall Guy never came up for some reason.

As long as it has the underbed side toolbox full of neat stuff and guns I am ok with this.

/what?
 
2011-11-01 12:40:34 PM
Doesn't a bunch of poorly done CGI defeat the whole purpose of the film?
 
2011-11-01 12:42:29 PM
I hope no one around here is seriously dissing *Stingray*???

That show was cool!

NuttierThanEver: It's going to be awful hard to find a hottie worthy of filling Heather Thomas C-cups

SO much truth to this.

If they have her make a cameo, I'm there no matter how bad the movie or how badly she may (or may not) have aged.
 
2011-11-01 12:55:59 PM
I've got to stop fantasizing about Lee Majors.
 
2011-11-01 01:05:41 PM
I certainly hope they get the same production team that did the "Dukes of Hazzard" remake...and then kill them with hammers so they can't go near this movie.
 
2011-11-01 01:07:19 PM
Honda already started making one: youtube link

Mr. Coffee Nerves: I certainly hope they get the same production team that did the "Dukes of Hazzard" remake...and then kill them with hammers so they can't go near this movie.

That was truly an impressive remake. They took a cheesy, bad, ridiculous show and somehow made it far far worse. That movie made this episode look sophisticated:

"Strange Visitor to Hazzard"
143 143 January 25, 1985
There's been some UFO sightings in Hazzard County lately, and it isn't long before Bo and Luke make friends with a space alien, whose spacecraft has crash-landed. The Duke boys have their hands full keeping the alien away from Boss Hogg and Rosco, who want to exploit the alien for profit; and a pair of fortune hunters, who create a false emergency (by contending that aliens plot to invade Hazzard), and looting the town after ordering a mandatory emergency evacuation.


I've seen this 3rd to last episode. It is mind-bendingly insane.

the 2011 version..."Well I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, but I've got a sextape with a Kardashiannnnn..."
 
2011-11-01 01:21:24 PM
I've never been with less than a nine, so fine...
 
2011-11-01 01:22:08 PM
FINALLY! I was wondering why they hadn't done it yet.
 
2011-11-01 01:53:47 PM
the story of a Hollywood stuntman who catches criminals on the side, using only his crazy stuntman skills and a truck roughly the size of the entire West Coast

I always liked Gerald McRaney's Dodge Power Wagon on Simon & Simon
 
2011-11-01 02:04:33 PM
I believe it was called Drive

She can still fill those C-cups, thankyouverymuch...

Any reboot need to keep the sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek lightness of the original. And it starts with the theme song and the first line...

"Well I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, but I've been seen with Brit-ney...."

Justin Timberlake as Colt Seavers.

Loved this show when I was a kid.

Generic stunt man movie: Check
Generic buddy movie: Check
Cameo from some old guy: Check
Two million dollar budget: Check

We have a GO!

So I was telling all the kids I work with about the old show and how bad ass the truck was. All I got was a sea of blank looks. Damn kids hope they die watching jersey shore. My lawn get off it!!!
 
2011-11-01 03:08:01 PM
If Hal Needham doesn't have at least a cameo in this then the movie deserves to fail
 
2011-11-01 03:08:47 PM
not that i'm complaining about a fall guy movie, but kevin smith had a point when he brought up that they still haven't make a bj and the bear remake. a trucker and his monkey, pure gold.

If they listened to Busta Rhymes they'd know that Colt Severs has bionics in his legs.

My reference was about the idea of remakes. Your addition to the thread is greatly appreciated. Carry on.

Ok, the tv remake trend isn't looking too good, Hollywood. To summarize:

Knight Rider - failed
Charlie's Angels - failed
Wonder Woman - didn't even get to show the pilot

I had the hot tub poster on my wall when I was a kid. Damn, she was hot.

Awesome, I would pay six million dollars to watch that.

This can only end badly. The whole point of the show was that it didn't take itself too seriously.

The movie will go one of two ways: Colt Seavers armed with every gadget and firearm known to man, growling bad cliches at bail jumpers OR...Dukes of Hazzard remake style. Neither one of which is a good thing, at least not in my mind.

And for the record, I LIKED Stingray. Nick Mancuso was a cool dude. Don't hate on Stingray, Mr. Writer Man.
