But you're right, what a disappointment! Full of nonsensical humor and loads of plot holes. I wanted to like the remake and so I bought the DVD, this just led me from disappointment to frustration, because of the outtakes included. In the original, Joanna stabs Bobbie and she goes haywire like a robot (very creepy scene) and in the remake, all she does is put her hand in a fire. I watched the outtakes and there's a cut scene where Joanna stabs Bobbie and Bobbie goes haywire like in the original, only it's done very comically. Bobbie has cleaning attachments for arms, a beer cooler in her chest, and can sprout wheels from her feet and mow the lawn. It was a hilarious scene, very comically mimicking the original. It's pretty obvious that a lot of time and work went into this scene (lots of expensive computer graphics) and it ended up on the cutting room floor and was replaced with just Bobbie putting her hand in the fire. This was the turning point in the original where we really get an idea of what's going on. Without this scene there is no turning point, at least not enough of one. Why they cut this scene out of the remake is a mystery.Cultfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511041179939857748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201825193861123999.post-23836148882555474802008-01-03T13:59:00.000-06:002008-01-03T13:59:00.000-06:00Although I didn't expect much from the remake, it ...Although I didn't expect much from the remake, it was even worse than I thought. The original is truly chilling; how Joanna just gives up at the end. What a classic. Great blog!Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.com
