Isn't she the female reporter friend, who they kept changing because of the stellar egos of the cast?

Read somewhere she will be playing the part of Col Decker!

Best piece of casting since Denise Richards in James Bond.

Yeah heard Rampage was playing BA...

Ah well another childhood memory dashed.

That looks like they're really sticking to the show. I'm much more hopeful now, but I need to see more Murdoch.

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #45 on:** January 11, 2010, 08:19:18 pm »

The trailer looks like fun, wonder why they're hardly showing Murdoch though? Hope Wikus can pull that off.

Also, that version of the theme is awful, needs beefing quite a bit far too subdued.

Sorry mate this was shite, they would go into a garden shed, and chisel about with what was in there and using a swiss army knife and a Zippo, drive out 3 minutes later in a sherman tank.....not only that, the fuckers were so called green berets but couldn't hit a bulls arse with a fuckin banjo when it come to shooting! Andrey Veronin hit the target More often.

sorry La but its true.

Nice to see 4 wanted fugitives from the US Government still think it's best to stay low by driving around in the most stand out from the crowd van in history...

If they make a tank that fires cabbages I'll be happy.

If the plot is about them helping a farmer and his daughter fend off hoodlums, with Face getting it on with her and them making a tank out of a dustpan and brush after being imprisoned in a barn and BA and Murdoch having a hilarious arguement, I'll be happy.

Oh, and at some point Hannibal has to be smoking a cigar while wearing a crocodile suit.

I hope the movie doesn't happen, because it will be shit. You know it, I know it, the production company knows it.

And then I'll be heartbroken that another one of my childhood favourites has been destroyed by Hollywood whores that would blow their own father on screen for money.

Feel the same. Loved this show as a kid. Judging by the trailer Liam Neeson looks ill-suited for Hannibal

As a little spin on the original, at some point Murdoch has to give a sideays glance to one of the aliens out District 9.

I would rather have watched the original cast in some remake where they meet 20 years later and have to save their old-folks-home from some loan-shark than this. Even if they had to dig up Peppard for it.

I loved that episode of that "Bring back"-show where the guy met all those old cast-members.

Not sure how well Peppard would hold up in that to be fair!

I know now obviously how ridiculous it all was but as a 14 year old lad the idea of firing cabbages was a scrapheap challenge too far

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #68 on:** January 12, 2010, 11:01:31 pm »

Firing a machine gun from a parachuting tank is exactly the type of thing they would've done on the TV show if they had the budget for it, I hope there is even more insane/stupid stuff in the film.

Who did that sort of shit,even with a budget back then ?

As long as its not as bad as the Starsky and Hutch remake.

They've cast it well enough. Just how the script is good enough

I liked that trailer, have a soft spot from Neeson so have massively got my fingers crossed for this.

This is one I'll download and delete once the ratio hits 1.

To people who have never seen the TV series it could well be seen as something decent.

Great to see they have the original van, not some sponsored effort from GM or Chrysler like most remakes these days.
