I Know some people will say some mean things about the idea to a remake for this film but what do you think about this. I still love this film but I think with a really great script, a producer, director and really great actors this could be a really great film to bring the Martial Arts genre back.

Well TBQH a remake could work if they make the movie take place in the 80s to keep the Cold War propaganda alive. I know some remakes modernize (like Red Dawn where they replace the Soviet Union with North Korea due to the end of the Cold War) but there are many action films that take place in different time periods like the JCVD film The Quest or Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China etc.

shareThis film is a time capsule of America in the Eighties, as seen through the eyes of the Chinese. You can't remake that.
shareHow about this, since it HAS been done.
If anyone at all keeps up with Martial Artists or Actions Movies overall, this movie in a fantasy like style has been done via "The Forbidden Kingdom".
But since I brought that up and I love to compare things which are good near identical.....if this "was" remade.....THEE ideal scenario could only be in my eyes...such as
The main star of The Forbidden Kingdom vs Ivan aka Scott Adkins
But Scott could be able to still do it, since they claim a Undisputed 4 is coming out or already may have released...but the kid, WHO would play the kid ??? Years ago I would've said...you could take the star of Never Back Down but that guy has gotten older and Never Back Down is more than 7 years old.
Oh wellz...I've thrown out too many "good ideas" which a good level of potential. So we shall see what Hollywood holds but if they remake this movie, how many fans would actually go versus the big named movies ???
