Enter The Dragon, leave it alone...
Total Recall, I don't mind it...

Enter the Dragon as a shot-for-shot remake would be a really bad idea. Enter the Dragon as a film noir with Raging Bull-style fights? There's potential, but you need a microscope to find it. In other words, this film probably will suck. But it doesn't have to.

As for Total Recall, well, I really liked the idea behind the story a lot better than the execution. For its time, it had great sets, prosthetics and stuff, but it didn't play enough with the "which memories are real and which are fake" angle and instead devolved into yet another Schwarzenegger action film by the numbers. I don't think it's a bad idea to revisit We Can Remember It for You Wholesale. And the actors involved (Farell, Cranston, Hawke) give me hope that this will be a more intellectual approach than the Verhoeven film.

Total Recall could be great (the original film didn't follow the original story all that well, so I'm open for another interpretation).

Enter the Dragon is just a bad idea... that film's story was all that solid to begin with, and its only real appeal is Bruce Lee, thus a remake of the film will go absolutely nowhere fast.

Total Recall is an almost perfect action movie. After the set up we get 15 minutes of sex, 5 of plot, 15 minutes of chasing and 15 minutes of fighting. They repeat that a few times and we have a movie. It won't work without Arnie since Farrell has only ever been good in one film (in which he is playing a clueless Irish fuckup). Neither film needs a remake.

I had zero interest in the Total Recall remake until I heard Bryan Cranston was playing the villain. That guy can get me interested in any project.

While Daredevil (the non-director's cut) was a bad film, Farell as Bullseye was awesome. I also liked him in Minority Report and Phone Booth, not to mention In Bruges (which is probably the film you were referring to).

Tigerland, Hart's War, SWAT, The Recruit, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus were all decent movies, too, in which he had good parts. Not to mention Alexander, which while the film itself (in all three of its forms) may be rather lackluster, his performance as the legendary ruler was nothing less than solid. That said, In Bruges is still his best movie, and I'm glad others have mentioned it (most people seem to be unaware of it).

I have to say I hated Alexander and Parnasus & SWAT bored me stiff. I loved In Bruges but Farrell isn't stretching himself much in that one. He's no action hero, that's what big, dumb, loud movies like Enter the Dragon and Total Recall need.

I know I'm going to get flak for saying Enter the Dragon is big dumb and loud but it is really. Bruce's philosophical bits are quite embarrassing and you just want to see 3 guys go around hitting legions of other guys. Fist of Fury held my attention a lot more.

In Bruges is freaking brilliant. And though Colin Farrell's career never took off to the extent it at one point seemed set to, it was never due to lack of talent.

I think Enter the Dragon is overrated, too. If any of Lee's movies should be his definitive work, its Way of the Dragon (i.e. Return of the Dragon). Its a far superior film in choreography, direction, and especially story... plus it has Chuck Norris in it.

Enter the Dragon is only as famous as it is becasue it was his last film.

the thing hollywood is missing by doing this is they dont understand that bruce lee's films were basicly artistic when he did his martial arts on screen.


alot of people have forgotten that bruce lee wasnt just some action star he was basicly a story teller by the way he fought on screen.

i love guys like jackie chan and jet li and i say this with much respect but they cant even compare to bruce.

Nah, Enter the Dragon is the masterwork. I can return to that again and again. One viewing of Way of the Dragon was enough for me.

To each their own, I suppose...

But I can't help but think your opinion is based on ingrained shared mentalities that are the product of it being his last film.

Not really. Chronologically, it was the first of his films I saw, and at first I thought it came before some of his other films, what with the name ENTER the Dragon. It was only later I discovered it was his last film. If there is any ingrained bias in its favor, it's probably that I first saw the film at a young age and thought it was the best thing ever, while the others I came to when I was a bit older.

But yeah, to each their own.
