The remake is going to suck ass without Van Damme.

Van Damme is what made the original so bad ass in the first place. Do they honestly think a reboot is going to match up to original?

I know people like to jump up and down and scream that remakes ruin originals (complete and total bullsh*t, btw) but in this particular case, the original was Timecop.

This isn't The Godfather we're talking about here.

The original was decent at best.

I know the original wasn't that great. The point i was making is that Van Damme made it watchable and entertaining. Without Van Damme it would've sucked COMPLETELY. Everyone i know that has seen the film agrees that Van Damme is the reason they even watched it in the first place.

Van Damme movies are classic fun and entertaining. Remaking Timecop will be another crap like Total Recall 2012.

My point exactly.

Yeah I hear ya. It'll probably look cool & have some good action scenes but I highly doubt the actors or script will be near as interesting as the original. It would be really cool if Van Damme made a cameo in it.

I had no idea that they are making remake.

@skeksis53 This time they can get someone who can act, and while they're at it they can update the cars so they aren't so laughable. It could surpass the original.
