    I accept that my views on foreign remakes are a bit fanatical Colly, but for every Magnificent Seven (or indeed A Bugs Life which is another version of the same Seven Samurai storyline) there are loads of films that are ruined during conversion. Not because of translation but because hollywood treats us like idiots and dumbs them down. Despite my attack on The Departed I agree that it is a pretty good film, but if you are a fan of the original Infernal Affairs it is dire in comparison. I do take your point though about the importance of bringing world cinema to a wider audience due to many people being reluctant to watch subtitled films.

    MGM have finished it but haven't released it yet due to their financial problems. Apparently is the Chinese that invade this time though instead of the Russians. No idea about release date i'm afraid.

    In that case this thread should be about a whole different thing. I'll get the ball rolling.

    American History X is a great film. But i can't help wandering what Tony Kaye's version would have been like. You probably know that he tried to get an Alan Smithee on the final cut because he said he had no control over it. Hope we get to see a true directors cut someday.

    I used to love Kung Fu Hustle, but my main project for 2nd year was this group of four modules revolving around sound for film, we choose Kung Fu Hustle and had to recreate every single pieces of sound - be it Foley, ADR, Sound FX and the like (albeit in our own style - you couldn't just copy, even had to learn a little bit of eastern music styles and a couple of their weird and wonderful instruments for the background music in certain scenes).
    Totally ruined the film for me and I can't watch it now without being annoyed.

    Battle Beyond The Stars!? - George Peppard (Hannibal Hayes from the A-Team) as a space cowboy, Napolean Solo, John Boy Walton and some bird with big tits! How can you possibly that was worse than the original Seven Samurai!?

    Taxi is great but it has to be the French version.
