Which Bad Movie would you remake?

[Chadzilla]

If they had stuck close to Herzog's narrative they might have had another Jawsesque megahit on their hands.  Instead the laid one of the the most beloved cinematice turkey farts ever to stink bomb a theater.

Jerry Goldsmith's score is excellent though.  Then again, everything he does is fairly above caliber.

[Chadzilla]

You know, that could work.  Think about all the controversy about cloning and Frankenfoods.  Yeah, that would make it topical.  Thank god Deep Blue Sea wasn't a megahit or it could happen a lot easier.

Still could.

What's Up Doc?

[Chadzilla]

Ah-nold acting, Ridley Scott directing.  I am SO glad that particular project flopped.

Now if Tim Burton did it...

[Squishy]

It is too late! The cat is out of...no, the rabbit is out of the hat! Yeah, that works better, hatt-baby.

I got a little curious and looked around: have you seen the poster art displayed at the IMDb? Oh ye Gods. How many toes does terror twinkle? How many nostrils does a nightmare nibble? How many buttholes does horror have?

I was also taken aback by the surprising number of websites proposing remakes of NOTL. Well, two at a glance, but that's still a surprising number...given the subject. One proposal suggested that the bunnies remain normal size, but become even more eager to reproduce, and starving bunnies and starving humans go at each other en masse. That's...pretty gross.

Ahhh!! I hate having to work I hate having to work I hate having to work
because I miss all the great posts!!

OH YESSSS!!! PLEASE!!  A modern remake of Night of the Lepus with all the modern special effects that modernity can provide.  
Oh, the munching . . . the munching . . .
This is too good to not be done.
Start annoying your local film studio today -- here they come . . . .

How about multiplying the number of killer-rabbits from the killer-rabbit scene in "Monty Python And The Holy Grail"? It flies through the air with the greatest of ease, decapitating medieval England's finest. It is also capable of making the ultra-brave Sir Robin wet himself with fear.

Man, thats one sick idea. I like it! But, who would we get to star? Who would take Dee Kellys place? John Cleese?  Or Stu Whitmans? I think its a star problim. And the rabbits, george. Tell me about the rabbits. Lots of Vishous lil" bastards, or a smaller number of Big bad bunnies? If you could just make the audience see things from the carrots point of view........Oh,my Lord, i'm realy getting into this idea! "Night of the Lepus 2: Revenge of the rodent".  You could give away pet rabbits at the theater, with lil' Human legs (From a Ken doll) on a key chain on the flea collar.......or maby....is it just me, or do some ideas have such a absurdity quotiant, they breed like rabb....gerbils?

[Steve.]

The replacement actors is a problem. I fear Mr. Cleese is too old now to be battling homicidal bunnies who would die rather than let anyone into that cave. The problem was, those knights of old fatally underestimated that white ball of fluff, and paid the ultimate price, we can only hope that a harsh lesson has been learned. Some humans are bound to die in the conflict, so we need cannon-fodder. Think of actors whose body of work you despise, or are too cute to be allowed to live. Brad Pitt. Leonardo Di whatever. John Revolta.Tom Cruise ad. nauseum. I think it should be millions of little vicious bunnies, hidden in that enormous "Trojan Rabbit" that everyone forgot to climb inside. they could lurk there, just waiting for the signal......

[Flangepart]

"Night of the Lepus 2: The Trojan Rabbit." This could work! "Underemployed B-actors nibbled to death by bunnies-Film at 11:00." what is it about this stupid movie? ....."Oh, it was horrible, Larry. When the rabbits went after Leo, they were hissing like geese!" .....I'm sorry...i need to have a little bed rest now....

[Steve.]

Sweet dreams Mr. F. Actually, no. Have horrible nightmares about cutesy actors and actresses being torn to shreds by vengeful hoppers, and get the names written down when you wake up. We must also consider what weaponry to use. The surprise element of "The Holy Hand-Grenade Of Antioch" has now gone. The little buggers will have wised up by now.

[Flangepart]

Hummm. Squishy had a good idea, with the giant wolf. And rideing to the rescue on that wolf is Leslie Neilson! No,no....Neilson does the Stuart Whitman part....rideing the wolf is....Lara Croft!(ya know, wossname),....dressed as Princess Mononoke. and,and,...what? Oh, i know....as the b***hin' Bunnies have the heros surrounded, the wolf howls,and the Dog from "Man's best friend" leads a pack of rottwhilers to the rescue.......ya know....i'm realy trying to keep this sane.....oh, who am i kidding! Leslie Neilson wrestles the Biggest Rabbit in a battle to the death, and Lara Croft(Wossname)....blows away all the rabbits except one fecund female, who hides in the sewers of...what state was that agine, Arizona?...and begins breeding a sequel. There...i did it. I did it, andf i'm proud! Proud, do you hear...BWahahahahaha! Eat my shorts, Dr. Clayton Forrester!

[Chadzilla]

I can see it now.  Two military dudes standing on a hill, one looking through binocs.

Dude with Binocs POV - An undulant mass of hopping fur.

Dude Without Binocs  - "What is it?"

Dude With Binocs (with a completely straight, albeit dazed face) - "There's a heard of killer rabbits heading this way."

You cannot do a remake and NOT use that line.

And here is the poster, gotta have it

I finally have a VHS copy (taped off of Turner South) again and can stop complaining about my old copy coming up MIA.  Just waiting to see if MGM will put it out on DVD soon...
