I don't see how they can remake this with an American cast. It's pointless. Only like eight people in the world can do the fighting choreography found in the original and, guess what, they were all in the original.

One of the original cast will do the choreography and who is to say he won't star.

The Raid is perhaps the best martial arts film I have ever seen. It is ridiculously good. I don't see how they remake this either. They would really have to get the same guys to do it. Will that happen?

[yads]

At best this'll be like Let Me In - well made but completely pointless, and lacking the lightning in a bottle of the original.

[SchumacherFTW]

I am definitely against this. Remaking a film as epic as this just because some blokes are too damn thick to read subtitles during a film is a stupid idea!

Finally watched the movie and the choreography was spectacular. That final fight was spot on, the story wasn't to shabby either.

Do we have a thread for THE RAID 2? Evans is tweeting details from each production day.

I still haven't gotten around to watching the original, and even I know this is a bad idea.

Watch it. I enjoyed it, but it was very graphic.

The original RAID is awesome -- puts most modern action films to shame. Neo, btw, I'm going to start a thread for the sequel, unless you'd prefer to.

Hollywood could learn a thing or two about action and fight choreography by watching The Raid.

No, thats fine.

The Raid was the first subtitled movie I've seen in the cinemas, and I watched it twice, that's how good it was. Fuck a remake.

^^ Awful, just awful. And pointless as well.

[Empire]

Ugh. I really hope they don't remake The Raid. Just an all around bad idea. 

[ddddeeee]

I know Liam will want to lap up as many roles as possible before his five minutes are up but even he should know that starring opposite his much more talented brother will make him look even worse than he is.
