I recently watched this classic of American cinema on Netflix again, and was surprised to find that it is still entertaining. Sure, everything is dated now, but the script, acting, and over the top ridiculousness of it all holds up.
Unfortunately, the sequel was so bad I shut it off about 15 minutes into it.
Anyway, there's apparently a remake in the works, which usually draws my ire until I saw who was in talks to be in it...
Link.
Ok, he's not the star, but casting him seems like the new filmmakers "get it".
