and i like this dvd cover as well

I have seen them both and as much as I liked the remake it just didn't have something the origanl did, I am not sure what it is but it was missing something.

If the remake had been a standalone movie with a different name I would have liked it for sure but the fact that the original is one of the all time great movies made me much more cynical about the "remake"

well suppose it would have more recognition with the title from the 1960s film.

 

but maybe it was better it was just a different film with the mini chase in it. and didnt blow the bloody doors off

The remake was Ok, it wasnt a bad film by any means, but as Ozzy said, it would have been better as a stand alone film, not just a half arsed attempt at a remake.

probably wouldnt have got the talent attached as easily if it was called something else

I really dont like the remake. I thought it was completely sacreligious!!!

 

However, reading Ozzy's idea that if the film had stood independent from the original, then I can see it's appeal. So I dont really have any new comments to make.lol...

 

 

.. dunno how you can do a remake, tij was typical of the late 60's, it belongs there, im not sure a remake could capture the mood of the time. i havnt seen it, nor do i intend to.

The "remake" was just full of sh!t.... So bad, almost as bad as that godawful "Alfie" remake with Jude Law.... :lol: :lol: Yeah, cos Jude Law is a really credible stand-in for Michael Caine isn't he..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

So, out of the three iconic Michael Caine films that have been rehashed (Get Carter, Italian Job and Alfie), not one comes close to touching the original.... But do ya think that'll stop the fukkers doing "Ipcress File"?? One can only hope so..... :unsure:

well it must have done the business as The Brazilian Job is out next year!!!

The brazilian job sounds nasty! :rofl:

The brazilian job sounds nasty! :rofl:

 

however dont think it will be as bad as that other brazilian job, the one that takes place by the supermodels in new york's taxi :lol:
