Assault on Precinct 13 - fpw - 07-01-2005

A real check-your-brain-at-the-door film. I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say, If you want to kill people, you don't use flash-bang grenades.

Some surprises, though. People you assume are going to survive...don't.

FF= 0.5 (stuuuuupid but I kept watching)

I think this is John Carpenter's movie's remake. Did you see the original?

I was wondering the same thing. How does it compare? Anyone?

Original was cool. But I want to see this remake for compare.

But.....I DON'T WANT REMAKE VERSION of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. "Escape from New York" is perfect movie. Anyway, who can play Snake, other than Kurt Russel?

So I hope "Assault on Precinct 13" is a last remake of Carpenter's movie.

No one! That would be like someone else playing Jack Burton!! Can't be done.

Me too. But I hope JC can get back to his old form and make movies better than Ghosts of Mars and the 200th Halloween sequel.

BTW, has anyone seen JC's Dark Star? Horrible! Big Grin

I'm still waiting for the final Snake movie, Escape from Earth.

I like Ghosts of Mars. Looks like a western movie + zombie movie. Ghost's makeup was terrible,though. But that ending scene was cool.

And, I saw Dark Star. Horrible? Well....yeah, but I like it.

I like all JC's movies, after all. Big Grin

Some of my collegues at work and I watched this movie one day - we called it "Assault on Precinct Suckdom"

I haven't seen the remake yet.

I saw the original in the theater way back in 1977. It came out in '76 but I did see it in a theater in '77. I vividly remember it because (a) it was really good, and (b), I'd just begun dating my screenwriter soon- to-be-husband-and-17-years-later-ex-husband and he was delighted to have turned me on to John Carpenter. The concept of wickedly good little independent films was fairly new to me at the time.

What can I say, he woke me up...on a number of levels and in a number of areas. I owe my ex- a lot...he introduced me to animals, too. I never had a pet growing up. Howie and I eventually adopted 6 stray dogs and found homes for over a dozen more.
