Re:Good US exports (Score 2)

what about the loverly US murderings of good movies such that all holiwood movies run from the same script and the concept is usually a remake of a french movie done to holiwood ending.
Examples:

a) Desperado...El Mariachi
b) Truman Show...I cannot remember the name of the origional
c) The Magnificent Seven....The seven samuri

there are heaps more but I cannot be bothered looking them up.

and I would also like to look at 2 of the "good" movies you quoted faceoff and con air....corect me if im wrong but these are both John Woo films...very very US in a hong kong kinda way :-)

and finally..."Pracila Queen of the Desert" released a year later with Patric Swayze in "So long from wong fu" or something.

....dont get me started on the quality of the movies that the US produce. If you want to see a prime example go to IRC and find a show called Junkyard wars...origionally english (it rocked) then baught by a US company at which point it sucked. yeah I know im going to get flamed
