Another shitty remake of something awesome.

[Total_Blender]

Another shitty remake of something awesome from my childhood.

First they fuck over the Dukes of Hazzard.

Next they ley Michael Bay fuck over Transformers.

Then they fuck over GI JOE.

Now they are fucking with the A Team. Some douche from UFC is gonna play B.A. Baracus. WHAT THE FUCK? THERE IS NO FUCKING A TEAM WITHOUT MR T. AS B.A. FUCKING BARACUS!!!!11!1



It also looks like they have Owen "Douchebag" Wilson as Murdock. Fuck that guy... he sucks.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/

Fuck the people who made this movie, and if you go see it and give them your money then fuck you too.

Discuss.

[AirMax95]

Yeah, they should just let this die....

Mr. T will pity the fool that fucks up his character, lol!

[quickdodge®]

I like some of Owen's stuff, but I can't stand the fact that they are fucking this movie as well as every other 80s movie Hollywood has fucked. Not one remake has ever been as cool as the original. Not even good. Later, QD.

[AirMax95]

[Total_Blender]

I just found out that they are also doing a re-make of The Karate Kid. But its set in China for some reason and has Jackie Chan and Will Smith's son in it. And a crappy soundtrack courtesy of bands like Linkin Park.

When Mr. Myogi was alive, he wouldn't stand for that kind of foolishness...

[BKgen®]

I agree with you on Transformers, G.I. Joe, and the Dukes of Hazzard....

And being a remake, yes... It'll probably be terrible....

....BUT you've gotta hand it to 'em -- At least they used the REAL van instead of replacing it with a Honda Odyssey or some shit.


I.E. the Knight Rider Mustang or Optimus Prime (in the original Transformers, that mother fucker was CAB OVER TRUCK, NOT A DAMN PETERBILT 379)

[Total_Blender]

Yeah, Prime was a 352. It also angered me that they made Bumblebee a Camaro and not a VW Beetle. They could have gotten those details right, but authenticity to the subject matter means killing the golden goose as far as marketing goes.

[Greddypacked]

Transformers 1 was good they didnt f.ck that up (I drove a Peterbilt longnose when I drove semi's and they arent going to use a raggidy old flat nose semi compared to what they used in the movie lol... it's called upgrading), and they did a dang good job on GI-joe you guys are voicing your opinions on the matter which is cool but alot of people will disagree w/ you. LOL and Rampage is playing Mr.T which isnt stupid in no matter as for Rampage would own Mr. T back in the day anyways. Rampage left his fight against Rashad Evans to do this movie. Rampage's punch is 1800lbs of force and would make Mr. T's head a cushion. For as what the movie is I probably wont care much for it, I wasnt a Mr. T fan lol.

[Total_Blender]

The point I'm trying to make is that these re-makes are pointless. Transformers was good the way it was, why not come up with something new? Why not come up with something new instead of re-making the A-team?

I really don't care if Rampage Johnson is a bad-ass or even if he could beat up Mr. T. because B.A. Baracus is Mr. T's role. If Rampage wants to be an action movie actor he should be his own damn character instead of taking a role that rightfully belongs to Mr. T.

Its the same thing as the Transformers where Optimus was a 352 and hey had to go make him a 367 or whatever... why not let the past have its limitations? I am sure that if he could Micheal Bay would probably re-write the Illiad and the Odyssey to have a CGI chase scene with flying cars and lightsabers.

[BanginJimmy]

GI Joe was cool, but it didnt follow the damn cartoon. That is my only gripe about it.


Transformers had it built into the damn movie how to keep BB a bug, and STILL push the Camaro. Simply have the bug turn to a camaro instead of starting with the old one.

I will hold off judgment on A Team until I see it. Owen Wilson can eat a dick though. He's a horrible actor, and hes simply annoying. I cant imagine there werent 1000 actors that would be better for the part.

[-EnVus-]

why cant Mr.T do his own role he isnt dead and still acts and looks the same ?????
Also i wasnt all that into the Ateam it was cool but to much like mcgyver and all the other shit at that time.....
I think people have ran out of ideas and they will be lots of Remakes to come sadly

There is not one remake that has been worth a shit.

The only reason why some people do these days is because of the advancements of technologies. The people of today aren't used to the good old fashioned props for movies. That's why they don't know to appreciate it. Later, QD.

[Vteckidd]

It will suck. I really like Bradley Cooper, but i think Liam Neeson will be a good Hannibal, but Rampage and Owen Wilson? What were they thinking?

When this was announced about 5 years ago the cast was :

Mel Gibson- Hannibal
Jim Carrey- Murdock
Michael Clarke Duncan- BA Baracus

FACE was still up in the air but there were rumors that Daniel Craig was in the running. Then all that fell apart and we wind up with this? LOL

Rampage will do a HORRIBLE PART, he cant pull Mr. T off.

[Vteckidd]

Oh there is no OWEN wilson, not in the trailer

http://www.thewrap.com/article/first...-trailer-12808

[Deke]

While I do agree that most of the remakes of these kind of shows suck (big surprise), you have a disproportionate amount of rage over the issue.

Also, according to IMDB, Sharlto Copley is playing Murdoc.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1663205/

[Total_Blender]

Maybe the guy is not Owen Wilson, but he looks more like Owen Wilson than he looks like Murdock.

I bet Owen Wilson is involved somehow in this thing though. Shitty remakes are his bread and butter. If he isn't starring in it he is either directing or he wrote the script.

Someone mentioned McGyver... if they do a shitty remake of McGyver then I'm never going to a movie theater ever again. I won't even get movies from Blockbuster or Netflix. I will only view films via some means of piracy.

[MidLifeCrisis]

I agree 100% of what has been said here. I'm a HUGE transformers g1 nut and was not impressed by the first transformers, and didnt bother with the second. I will admit though as lamefuck as it sounds, there is 1 remake that stuck close to the orginal and i enjoyed watching the first time..


Starsky & Hutch

[The Creeper]

I have some hope in this film because of the director... He does good work.

LOL well look at the reality of it. They are remaking a damn cartoon lol. It's not like they can draw the scene or characters. IMO the remake of Transformers 1 and GI-Joe hit the spot in real time not a damn cartoon. Now if they were remaking an old movie that was base from real life characters and not a drawing I would understand the concept, but these are remakes of cartoons so the base of foundation on how it turns out is up in the air on what the producer/director makes it. Getting Michael BAY, and Steven Speilberg to make these movies... HONESTLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OTHERS DO BETTER, which you probably wont. I mean Steven Speilberg made extinct giant dinosaurs seem brought back to life on Jurrasic park and I know I dont have to back up Bay or Speilberg on what they have done in movies. Other movie producers/directors probably would have made such a sh!tty remake it would have flopped, these guys made top chart boxoffice hits w/ these movies.

Exactly, I was about to make a comment about how people don't even look at the pages they post, it obviously wasn't Owen Wilson in that trailer or on IMDB.

We are just proving that we are all turning onto old men. LOL. I used to hear old men talk in the barber shop about this SAME shit - lol. Me and my young friends would be outside making fun of old men imitating their voices.

Now we are these old men - complaining about shit before it even comes out. LOL. The trailer looks good to me - but maybe b/c I like most action/military style movies that are put together.

You have to think about how simple our minds were in comparison to a kid the same age today. Atari 2600 had one fucking button and a stick. When the 7900 came out w/ a button on either side I was like WTF - this is too much. Then the D pad and A,B buttons on Nintendo. Now a controller has 143 buttons and a foot pedal, a jacket and a helmet.

WE are the old men that we laughed at when we were kids. A 6 year old knows more about an iPhone / internet / gaming systems w/ 42 buttons than we do.

Think about this - what the FUCK did B.A do in the show? He drove the van - punched people - and had gay one-liners that the whole world LAUGHS at now. If you look at an A-Team episode right now on youtube you will 1) not watch it to completion or 2) laugh the whole time at the cheesy ass stunts where we can see the jump ramps. I laugh at EVERY crash on the show was the same style of crash (jump, half barrel-roll, land on the hood).

So how can Rampage really not outdo how corny Mr. t was? I guarantee you that it will be better than any 1 season of A-Team that you have on disk at home. LOL. I think Jim Carey would have a made a great Murdock though - Murdock was the only guy that really required any real acting in the TV show. Face just smiled and flirted - and Hannibal just had 1 line.

[BABY J]

I did like on the TV show how much B.A wanted to kick Murdocks ass - everytime Murdock opened his mouth B.A was looking at him like "I'm going to fucking toss your ass outta the van" - LOL. I hope they bring some of that back in the movie - I'd like to see Rampage get frustrated and see how he pulls it off on screen.

Starsky and Hutch, Friday The 13th, Karate Kid, The Omen, The Exorcist, Fame, The A-Team, Romancing the Stone are just a few of the many that aren't cartoons. Later, QD.

[BABY J]

I think Karate Kid will be good actually.

[BKgen®]

Starsky and Hutch, Friday The 13th, Karate Kid, The Omen, The Exorcist, Fame, The A-Team, Romancing the Stone are just a few of the many that aren't cartoons. Later, QD.

I will admit, The Day the Earth Stood Still wasn't half bad.

[VuDuDragun]

yea but u gotta remember they still make gi-joe's even now n transformers have more current cartoons. these 2 movies were based off of the more current franchises. cuz the snake eyes i remember didn't take a vow of silence cuz his master died, he lost his ability ta speak inna helicopter crash. his copter was hit by a missile n collided with another. his throat was slashed out by a copter blade............ so yea. i would have ta say these characters were based off their current personas not wat we knew them as

[Vteckidd]

Ive always said this and Baby J has a point, HOW GOOD WERE THESE SHOWS REALLY BACK THEN?

Transformers? Go watch it, its corny, boring, and 22min long.

GI JOE, same

A -Team, same

Knight Rider, Same

Air Wolf

dont tell me any of those were cinematic genius lol They were stupid over the top corny TV shows that are rather nostalgic but they werent GREAT by any means.

So i dont expect much out of the movies

[BABY J]

^^ Bingo.

We were kids - kids are easily impressed. Take Airwolf... I mean shit - how many REAL story-lines can you have where you will ACTUALLY need a covert attack helicopter to pop out of a mountain just to prove a point? LOL. GAY.

A-Team? Haven't been caught MY ASS - they only had 2 of the most unique and recognizeable vehicles on the road - big ass white targa Vette w/ red striping and a freak show child molester clown van w/ overhead lighting and a red stripe and red wheels. (yeah, that's what I'd drive if the CIA and Dept of Defense and every law enforcement agency in America were looking for me) LOL. Look at how bland the cars in the background are compared to those 2 when they were showing footage of the cars on the street. Fuckers would have been back at Leavenworth a long time ago - LOL.

Don't hate on some1 who tries to put a new(er) spin on classics. At the end of the day if it sucks, it makes the classics EVEN BETTER. If it's good, then it makes the classic EVEN BETTER again due to a newer and younger audience who might not even know that the A-Team was a tv show back in the day - can't lose.

Take the new Charger - I kinda dig it (the higher end sport models) - but some1 who grew up driving a Charger to school HATES it. Same w/ Camaro - etc. But a 4 year old now --- todays Camaro will be HIS classic. It will be the only Camaro he calls "old -skool" and we will be the old guys in the barber shop spitting and talking about how they fucked up the car and how they aren't made of the "real" shit that our hero cars were made of... you know... REAL materials like ABS plastic.

[Total_Blender]

I agree that the A-Team was corny, and that the gags and one liners were part of the appeal, but seriously, the A-Team was much more than that...

1.) The first mainstream acceptance of a charismatic Black man as an action hero in American television.

2.) Did you know that Dwight Schultz (the guy who played Murdock) has been in something like 20 other movies and maybe 40 different TV shows, 3 plays on Broadway, and about 100 videogames? No, you didn't because he will always be known as Murdock. He was that good in the role that he will never live it down. Same with Face and Hannibal and even Mr. T. They will always be the A-Team.

3.) This series marked the successful assimilation of Vietnam Veterans into American popular culture... one of the first positive portrayals of Vietnam Veterans in American entertainment. Contrast the A-Team's portrayal of vets as benevolent heroes with portrayal of veterans as misfits as seen in The Deer Hunter, or First Blood.

So theres that...the A-team might have been a corny TV show, but theres a cultural significance under the surface that a re-make couldn't duplicate.

[BABY J]

And how do you know that it won't do the series justice?? Have you seen it already? Who wants to see Mr. T's old ass trying to intimidate a bad guy 40 years his junior?

It would be different if they were starting the SHOW/SERIES again - but a 1 shot movie - I say keep it new and refreshing is my opinion.

[Total_Blender]

A team of old guys trying to intimidate the young'uns would probably be more new/refreshing than a team of young schmucks re-hashing bad jokes from the early '80's.

Mr. T with arthritis, Hannibal trying to give up cigars, Face losing his youthful looks, etc etc there are a lot of new ways they could go with the original cast.

The new cast... it will just be like hearing someone tell a joke they heard from someone else.

I think Face died too if im not mistaken

Sounds to me like you wanted skeleteons of their former selves to be the brunt of their own jokes just for a nostalgic moment. How much sense does that make for a movie - reminds me or 60 year old Sly in the Rambo movie - we get it Sly - you're a bad mother fucker - but sit the fuck down. LOL

But every1 is entitled to their own view about it. As I said - guys who remem the show will def miss certain things... but the movie has a chance to get some new/young eyes on it... they will have a much more neutral view and give the analysis a much more fair look. What a shame that some1 who has never seen the series will give it a better chance than some1 who actually is a fan of the original. Sounds to me like it should be the other way around.

Miks is old enough to get into the shows - he is 28 I think. I'll be 31 next month... but he was trying to illustrate the point that I was making earlier - that the shows were not the greatest shows AT ALL - that's why when you have a movie based off of 20 year old shows that only ran for 5 or 6 years TOPS (A TEAM only went 5 years) you have to add a lot of things to stretch that out for a 1.5 - 2 hour movie. That "stuff" is what the hard core purists think makes it fail. BA was a young and strong horese when we watched him on the series - we (people who remember the show) expect to see a young vibrant BA in the movies - I'd be disappointed looking at BAs old wrinkled ass in a new action movie w/ the title A TEAM. Kinda like when I see Sly with wrinkles -- I'm disgusted - it's over Stallone - lol.

yeah i mean i dont know whats worse, a remake , or putting the same old ass people in a newer movie.

ROCKY BALBOA and RAMBO were fucking HORRIBLE movies.

But so was INDIANA JONES 4

it just doesnt work, glory days are just that, glory days

yeah i mean how do you make a 2 hour live action movie from a 20 minute cartoon that was on air for 1.5 years?? (transformers)

same with GIJOE

i really enjoyed GIJOE and Transformers, but i also didnt sit there and pick apart everything that was wrong or didnt make sense , i took it at face value

Put it this way - this is for the people who think the orig cast should be there.

Picture a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger winning his 1st Mr. Olympia (1970) --- FUCK YEAH!!!! Let's say John Cena is gonna play Arnold - awesome.

Now Cena pulls out of the movie do to a hamstring injury and then the REAL Arnold says "fuck, I gotta nother movie in me - some1 toss me some Speedos."


wait...




wait for .....




wait for it.....

looks entertaining.. i dont remember Ateam too much.. i spent alot of saturday mornings riding bikes..lol so i missed alot of the old tv shows. i think the cast is good.. ramapage has a little Mr.t look to him
