| Posted: | | | | I haven't seen the new one yet, but I read very bad reviews about it.
But nevertheless I will prolly go for the Blu-ray, as I love those kind of movies.

| Posted: | | | | I haven't seen it yet (and wont till it hits Blu-ray). My guess is I will catch whatever reference there is to the original. One of my favorite movies from that era. I'm sure I've watched it at least a dozen times over the years. |

| Posted: | | | | Seen the flick twice (free ticket didn't work opening weekend, much more enjoyable in 2D in an empty theater during teh day also!), caught (and wished they had gone further with) the nod if it's what I'm thinking. Since I'm not positive how to do spoilers, I'll just ask if I'm on the right track. You're talking about the part with the following dialogue?
"What's this?" "Leave it!" |

"What's this?" "Leave it!" Indeed...made me laugh. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | I saw it in the theater the other day. If you remember the original film the brief appearance of Bubo is a pretty obvious nod to the original. There were only two other people in the theater (a good thing), so no chuckles were heard. | | | Corey |

| Posted: | | | | I watched the original on BluRay before watching the remake so it was pretty obvious to me what it was to the point that if you've seen the original at all you should get it. |
