Hollywood remake for 'Enter the Dragon'....
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Remake for iconic Bruce Lee film
Greatest film ever (well, maybe not based on acting ability....) and they even dare to try a remake

Why oh why do they have to go and butcher classic films with a remake? 
My money is on them casting Jet Li for the role. At least he stands half a chance of doing some justice to the original.

It should be left well alone as it is what it is!
Hollywood seems to have run out of ideas

Hollywood remakes over the last couple of years have been dire, The Ladykillers and Get Carter are but two that spring to mind of classic films butchered.
There was an interview with Danny Boyle recentley who said that they really ought to try remaking films that had failed the first time round rather than those that had been hits.

Rich,
You forgot to add the utter trash remake that was Taxi. The original was rather good. Another Luc Besson film trashed by holyweird was The Professional, a very poor remake of Nikita. How could you also forget The Italian Job. It was ok, but not a patch on the original.
As for the remake of ETD, it's a dishonor to the memory of Bruce Lee to remake this classic film.

Ok, my bad. I got the titles messed up. The Professional is the US name for Leon, which, thankfully, has not been remade and is a true classic. The film I meant to name, was Point of No Return (also known as The Assassin), which is the remake of Nikita.

I Vote for Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal in the Bruce Lee role
Let's face it, if you're going to butcher something, you may as well do the job properly
And while we're on the subject of bad remakes, 'Assault on Precinct 13' anyone
