CHIPS : Oh boy another terrible remake…

Oh boy another terrible remake…

First of all why Dax Sheppard?!?! Is this movie script that bad that they can only get him for a lead. Also I am tired of remakes that use same names, but completely different show. If the studios want to do that, then just make that same movie with different names. Also they misspelled the title, which is already a bad sign.

Re: Oh boy another terrible remake…

Dax Shepard is the producer, so that probably explains a lot.


faith begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Re: Oh boy another terrible remake…

He is also apparently the writer and director too. Not sure why I didn't look at that before. This will be bad.

Re: Oh boy another terrible remake…

But that's just it. It's not really a remake. It's a movie that's completely different with the same name. And that's what ticks me off.

Go ahead and make the movie like you want it. But don't put a name on it to make it sound one way and then be something completely different.

That's what they do with most of these remakes. Rarely are they true to the source material. Though CHiPs was cheesy, looking back at it, it wasn't this trash.

Re: Oh boy another terrible remake…

Preach. Calling these remakes is disrespectful to everybody involved with the originals. This has about as much to do with the original series as MacGyver 2017 does with MacGyver 1985 – which is to say, the title and the first sentence of the plot summary, at best.

I really don't understand what they're getting at with these, though. I assume that using the original title is supposed to attract the audiences who liked the originals, because the title obviously wouldn't mean anything to anybody else. So why then ditch absolutely everything that defined the originals, and replace it with stuff that is certain to alienate the original viewers? To stay with the same comparison, whose genius idea was it that people who liked the original pacifist and smart MacGyver, would now want to see a new MacGyver that is a violent sociopath and an utter dumbbell? It would seem pretty obvious that reusing an established brand is only going to help if it addresses a roughly similar audience.

Re: Oh boy another terrible remake…

I agree. It's like they want to use the name to pull in older fans and then ruin it by changing everything else to speak to newer fans but in doing so, change it so that the older fans want nothing to do with it.
