Yeah, I could see Rob Schneider as the leftover crap.

No reason this film needs to be remade. No film should be remade for that matter.

Amen to that!

reply

Amen again, this is a classic, if they want to make twins 2, maybe, but there can be only one twins...

Then we should get rid of Little Shop of Horrors, Wizard of Oz, Scarface, The Bourne Identity, The Thing, and other classic movies no one realizes are actually remakes.

Have you seen the original The Thing? It's not that good. The idiot doctor who clones the thing and wants to be friends with it brings it down. My friend has told me about the original scarface but from what he said it has a very different story from the 1980 film. In fact none of the characters even have the same names. Therefore it's more of a reboot. Also I know there's a remake of Wizard of Oz that comes out soon but if you're talking about the one with James Franco it's a prequel. Not a remake. A remake is a making an updated version of a movie with the same story and characters.
There is one classic film I'd like to see remade but only because it was completely unfaithful to the novel and its author. First Blood. They turned a compassionate sympathetic character into a no good stinking evil jerk. I'm talking about Teasle. But of course it won't happen until after Sylvester Stallone dies because he won't allow it.

The 1938 novella that both films are based on?

My friend has told me about the original scarface but from what he said it has a very different story from the 1980 film.


You mean the 1929 novel both movies are based on which in turn is based on the real live person Al Capone?

Also I know there's a remake of Wizard of Oz that comes out soon but if you're talking about the one with James Franco it's a prequel. Not a remake.


This made me laugh. I think they were thinking of the 1925 version but there's also a 1910, 1933, and 1982 version minus the 1939 that most people associate the story with but all are based on the 1900 novel by L. Frank Baum.

Good thing Oliver Stone didn't follow that advice in 1982.

I actually think that could work lol!

"Remake"? Ah f*@k you! They were fine and we don't need anymore useless remakes and useless punks like you...

reply

you could go another way and go HHH and David Spade

Yes this film should not be remade as it is a classic but what the people who so strongly reacted to this post should just calm down and see this post as a bit of fun.

There is loads of actors I can think of that could be paired together if they did do a remake of Twins, some of the pairings I think would be funny are:-

Deep Roy (4'4) and The Great Khali (7'2)
Tony Cox (3'6) and Bob Sapp (6'5)
Verne Troyer (2'8) and Paul 'The Big Show' Wight (7')
Warwick Davis (3'6) and Tyler Mane (6'8)
Chris Rock (5'11) and Shaq O'Neal (7'1)

reply

You guys nuts? The Rock and...

fu ckin' Vern Troyer!!


"If I had ya where I wanted ya, they'd be pumpin your ass full of formaldehyde!"

reply

My list wasn't a serious list - just a bit of fun

I simply picked actors that would look funny on screen if it was said they were twins

I hope they dont remake Twins as the original is a classic
