I can just imagine what a "reimagined" Roadhouse will look like Sadly (or luckily?), I won't find out, because we don't have Amazon Prime anymore.

Yeah, because the remakes of Red Dawn and Point Break were such smashing successes.

Please leave the 80’s and 90’s cheese alone. It works for a reason. It doesn’t need fixing.

It's not a question of whether Jake can do it, it's what today's woke Hollyweird culture and the uber-woke Amazon will do to it.

Hollywood writers are completely out of ideas for new stories.

Weren't they going to do that 10 years ago with Ronda Rousey?

C’mon Hollywood Roll Eyes

Enough with the shitty “superhero” movies and crappy remakes already. Are you seriously that bankrupt of fresh and new ideas?

Terrible idea. I hope it fails.

Patrick Swayze, Ben Gazzara and Jeff Healey are all dead so they can't reprise their roles. Sam Elliot and Kevin Tighe are still with us, though. Same with Kelly Lynch and Kathleen Wilhoite.

The first one was mediocre at best so I don't have high hopes for a the new one.

I highly doubt that they will again fill a gingham dress so very well, so what's the point in this effort?

Exactly what came to mind. Whatever "they" conjure up, it's sure to be RIFE with woke bullshit. JSMH...

Wait, there was a Point Break remake?

Hold on, checking Google…

HOLY SHIT! There really was a Point Break remake!

Amazon doing this will ensure it will be a streaming pile of shit.

Right? Like they're going to make a movie better than Keanu and Gary Busy fighting the Red Hot Chili Peppers guy while surfing?

Should have just been a stand alone movie rather than a remake. Shit, look at fast and the furious, they've made like 20 of those movies and $100B in revenue, its the same story just different names.
