Beverly Hills Cop IV in development. Short of filthy standup special ala Delirious, I guess this is the closest we'll get to vintage Eddie Murphy.

Me too. But the appeal of the original is how the SWAT team survive while they become bounty for the residents to stay for free in an unsanctioned raid by using Pencak Silat. afaik, there's not many movies released in US (or maybe none at all) that portrayed police use martial arts and knives, even machetes to kill bad guy on a raid, so I want to know how the production team will do it in the adaptation. And for me using airsoft on the movie is not a problem in the gun restricted country like Indonesia.

If you watch the reboot Dredd movie, it has a very similar premise to The Raid. Except instead of a bunch of cops, it's 2 going into an apartment complex controlled by a drug dealer who calls on the residents to her aid and one of the Judges has a history with the apartment or like it and at the end of the movie, it involves corrupt cops.

About the weapon usage of the Raid, I found a little of it being inconsistent. How is a fully outfitted team running out of ammo that quickly, also no reloads for their pistols. They made little attempts to reconfirm to HQ that they are even here and how no one realizes that an entire team didn't show up for work that day or went on a mission without approval. I understand this is primarily a martial arts movie, so the guns needed to go out the window fast.

La Horde is another pretty similar concept. But with zombies! Don't zombies make everything better?
Well, no. The Raid and Dredd were both better movies.

Interesting Cracked article on movie trends.

With all those remakes, how has no one thought to remake The Last Starfighter? There's even a great potential corporate tie-in, since instead of an arcade machine, they could make it an XBox Live Arcade or PSN game.

La Horde was decent, though; at least worth watching. I would have liked it better if literally the stupidest person out of the cops didn't end up being the last alive

Actually Stargate Universe had a similar concept on how one of the main characters got into the story...it was stupid, but clearly Last Starfighter ish plot

If you liked The Wild Geese, you'll probably like Dark of the Sun
