I have to wonder, is remaking 70s blaxploitation really a good idea?

Bad, bad idea. What made those films so great was the bad acting, the boom mikes showing, the uncoriographed (sp?) fights and Rudy Ray Moore. This could be as bad of an idea as a Uwe Boll film.
Thanks for the thread title. :)
Word of a Dolemite remake has been going around for a while. For a long time LL Cool J was being talked about as playing Dolemite.
You've said it all, brother.Quote:

Rudy Ray Moore is Dolemite, without him it would have been just another forgotten blaxploitation flick like Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde or Boss Nigger.
The whole genre just needs to be left alone and just appreciated for what it was.
You all remember when they re-did Shaft? Yeah this movie will suck.
Remakes in general need to stop.
And lol @ "Boss Nigger." Stern was playing the trailer for that movie on his show the other day. The theme song was funny.
Exactly. Sam Jackson is a cool guy but even HE couldn't take on Richard fucking Roundtree.Quote:
