Why remake something that’s already a perfect movie? I can’t imagine who you’d get to replace Burt.

Unless it’s got one of the Trans Am Worldwide cars, don’t care.

They should use an autonomous vehicle instead of Trans AM. Maybe google car.

how about we just stop remaking stuff?

camaroboy68ss > CaptDale - is secretly British 04/24/2017 at 14:36

Other than the fact this is a terrible idea. They better use old trans ams or donate even bother. It would be like replacing the general lee being a 69 Charger

Would the remake be set in present day? I just don’t see Bandit and Snowman going up against modern-day police departments.

Fuck you for getting my hopes up that they’d ruin yet another classic.... Katie and Burt said “ IF they do a reboot”

Gosling as Snowman

Hardy as Bandit

Watson as Frog

This sounds terrible. More morally ambiguous anti-heros clowning cops in car chases, less Smokey.

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 04/24/2017 at 15:25

I doubt it will get made. They should let this one never be remade. Look at what happened with Ben Hur...

Plus they’d complain about Trigger having the old GA flag plate instead of the new flag plate.

No. Just no. No! It was a unique phenomenon of the time it was made. I don’t want them to take all the humor out of it like they did that soulless total recall remake.

Jonee > CaptDale - is secretly British 04/24/2017 at 15:35

Not bad. Gosling as Snowman is weird, but it just might work. How about we keep Hardy, but swap in McConaughey as Snowman and Natalie Dormer as Frog?

Hmmm, not McConaughey. I don’t like him and I think that’d be the wrong fit.

More importantly: I just found out disney is making a movie of the Jungle Cruise ride at disneyland...staring Dwayne Johnson.

No idea is safe. Nothing is sacred.

p.s. the poster is fake but the movie is real

THe snowflakes can go fuck themselves and stop breaking my hear and smashing my dreams! Next we do Cannonball Run and Gumball Rally. BRING BACK THE ERA OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE!

Who knew Jerry Reed would be the toughest to replace? I could see Craig Robinson as a possibility if we want to add a little diversity. Or maybe Michael Shannon.

Great, another classic to get ruined. No Trans Am = no Bandit. We could hope for a Camaro at best, but they’d probably pull a Knight Rider and use a Mustang.

Camshaft Chris: Skyline/McLaren/Porsche Fanboy > HammerheadFistpunch 04/24/2017 at 17:19

Well, they already did The Haunted Mansion...

and what a winner that was! That being said, there was another ride turned movie that seems to be printing money these days for disney... I forget what it was though...thats right! Ichabods wild ride!

Shannon would not be quite right I think, but Robinson I very much like the idea of him. Not for diversity, cause snowflakes can fuck off, but because I think his personality would fit the bill fairly nice.

Well if it is as shit as most remakes. They turned 21 Jump Street into a buddy comedy.

Pipedream. I feel like GM would have some legal disagreement with. I’m honestly surprised that they let Grand Am Depot operate as is. Did they buy the licensing or something?

Jonee > CaptDale - is secretly British 04/24/2017 at 18:17

Yeah, he’s got that laid back quality that matches up with Snowman. And I think he’d work well with a canine sidekick.

Me too! You should watch Cannonball!

It has 2 identical 70-73 Trans Ams!

Unfortunately. But as a history major, I keep hoping that one day we as human beings will finally have that epiphany and learn from our mistakes. It’s an ignorant hope, I know, but a hope I hold on to nonetheless.

All we can do is hope, and try not to be disappointed when it happens again.

Well that’s good. There’s hope after all then. If they’re planning on doing a true remake though (same cars, same time period, etc.), I’ll be patiently waiting over here...

Nope this is just Cannonball it was made in 1976. I have it on DVD.

It is a more serious movie compared to Cannonball Run.

Here’s it on youtube buddy. ;)

There was an 05 or 06 GTO that did it a few years ago. The story is on the forums. ;)

I like this film. It is always overshadowed by Cannonball Run. It is very 70s though.

Bandit 2017......... the twilight years.........

be interesting if they were to make a decent transition to some OTHER guy IN the movie, and not just try to ignore the history of the old one, like mad max did. credit due and all that..... but it would be nice to see some series give closure to a character for once. be sad to not have good ol jackie gleason chasing the guy though

Yeah, I mean if they ruined it and made it a Zombie movie he could be in it.

You’re thinking of the Cannonball Run or the Gumball Rally. Cannonball is more serious.

The plot is, but you can’t seriously tell me it isn’t cheesy. I’m definitely thinking of Cannonball, because Cade’s ‘68 Charger has stuck with me for the last 10 years (Remember, I’m 17. Wouldn’t have seen it in theaters)

AfromanGTO > 19JRC99 06/08/2017 at 12:41

You have to remember this movie was made in the 70s. Even Vanishing Point and 2 Lane Blacktop have the same feel. Cannonball is a much more serious than the lighter hearted Cannonball Run. You don’t see someone shot in the head in that one, the guy crushed, or the Pantera that blew up. I never saw it in theaters either. I have it on dvd. Here it is below.

I’ve seen it before. The music, and the fight scene in the grocery store *scream* 70s Cheese.

And I love it.
