Bankok Dangerous Remake Starring Nic Cage's Forehead


Here's the trailer for Bangkok Dangerous starring Nic Cage and his forehead. It's a remake of a cult-classic (we use the term even though it has become almost meaningless) from Hong Kong. We'd give out stink about this but it's directed by the same guys who directed the original, The Pang Brothers.

Ah what the hell, let's go to town on it anyway. Why remake a classic (albeit cult)? Why cast Niiccollass Caaagge (I type like he speaks) sporting what looks horribly close to a mullet. Why have him speak when the original character was deaf and dumb - We could make a cheap shot about how he's still one of those things...oh wait, I suppose we just did - Why does the Trailer-Man-Voice come into the trailer half way thro$ugh when Nic Cage has being doing the voice over for the first half? Why does Nic Cage look so silly?

Okay, there's an argument for changing the character significantly if you're going to bother revisiting the film in the first place, so maybe this will be a fresh take on it. Still, they could at least change the title. We like Bangcock Dangerous (see what we did there?) but maybe that title might have been taken by a Health and Safety video for male porn stars. I'll check with my Grandad, he should know.
