  • How would YOU remake __________?

    I'll start with 'Mad Max'. I'll assume that you've all seen it.

    1. More clearly define the setting. This is post-apocalyptic, but nothing has really been said about what caused the apocalypse. Define it: perhaps it was an economic apocalypse or a biological one...one that caused cities to isolate and fend for themselves. Fuel is getting more and more scarce, and life is getting more and more primitive. Everyone's holding on tight to what they have, and the MFP is out there to protect the city from ANY intruders.

    2. Keep the semi-desert setting, especially if you move it from Australia to America.

    3. Keep the 'Interceptor'/'Pursuit' tags.

    4. Give Goose more of a role.

    5. Give the Toecutter and his gang more of a reason to be attacking the city. Are they after fuel? Are they after food?

    6. Cast it right, and keep it the fuck away from Michael Bay.

    2) Better sword fighting

    3) Better sword fighting

    4) Don't make a sequel

      Yes, the swordfighting needs improvement...that's a given.

      My main issue, plotwise, is with the whole Connor/Brenda storyline. That really needs to be re-written in such a way as to be believable. The bar sequence, where he tries to pick her up, is one of the most poorly written scenes that I've ever seen. No real motivation is provided for them to have a 'love story' per se.

        The entire production value needs to be improved. The only thing I really loved from the original was Clancy Brown as The Kurgan. Everything else needs a major re-haul.

          Yes, it needs a higher budget.
          What worked:
          - Clancy Brown as the Kurgan.
          - Sean Connery as Ramirez.
          - The overall concept, especially since it wasn't clearly defined. That lack of definition served the plot.
          - The relationship between Ramirez and Connor was handled beautifully, in my opinion.
          - Connor's origin in old Scotland. How he died, how his relationship with his clan changed, how he was exiled, how he met Heather.
          - The use of flashbacks within the story. They flowed nicely, and the cinematic transitions between the past and the present were handled in interesting ways.

                        That picture still cracks me up. It's like Tommy Wiseau's impression of Nicolas Cage as Superman.

                          See, I came up with a GREAT concept for a sequel to 'Highlander' that actually works within the continuity of the first film.
                          1. Connor has won the prize.
                          2. He's trying to figure out what to do with the prize when Brenda gets killed in an accident.
                          3. Connor wallows in despair...he has the prize with all of this limitless power, and he wasn't able to save the woman that he loves.
                          4. A year goes by with him wasting the power of the prize.
                          5. In a drunken stupor, he gets drawn to an empty warehouse. The prize LEAVES HIM, as he is unworthy. The Quickening branches out all over the warehouse, and ALL of the immortals who have ever existed since the beginning of time are reborn instantaneously. All of their power had been collected in Connor (forming the 'prize' power), and now they are released again.
                          6. All of the reborn immortals are cognizant of who they are AND when they are...they have been a part of Connor.
                          7. Realizing what has happened, the immortals all leave the warehouse...some alone, some in groups. All of them know that the gathering will be happening again soon, so they'd better arm themselves.
                          8. Ramirez and Kastigir, along with a few other immortals that Connor befriended over the centuries, go off in a group. Connor realizes what a waste he's been and finds a reason to fight.
                          9. Battles ensue, with Clancy Brown as the Kurgan quickly leading the charge to get as much 'prize' energy as he can.
                          10. It ends with Connor and Ramirez left, the last two immortals standing. They decide NOT to fight each other.

                          There's a sequel.
