Yet another remake this way comes. And this time we're more skeptical than ever before, because the film that's getting the makeover is one quite dear to our inner child.

It's another heavy role for Samuel L. Jackson.

Having most recently played a dirty cop in "Lakeview Terrace," Jackson is set to star as a bad guy again in Columbia Pictures' remake of Berry Gordy's 1985 cult classic "The Last Dragon."

Jackson will play Sho'nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a role played in the original by the late Julius Carry, whose spiel included asking ego-driven questions like "Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?" Each time his gang of thugs answered, "Sho 'nuff!"
…
The updated plot will be along the same lines of the original, centering on young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the Last Dragon. Those who achieve the high ranking possess the Glow, making them the greatest fighter alive.

If the plot, as described by a nerdy Yahoo news writer, sounds to you like it's absolutely awful and juvenile, that's because it is. But, like the 80s in general, it's awful and juvenile in the best way possible.

After the jump, a roundup of a few great scenes from the original Dragon.

OK, so Heidi Montag just released her new music video, "Overdosin," for our enjoyment, but there's something wrong with the clip. And not just the usual "I think Heidi is mentally unstable" stuff — the audio and video are completely off. The tape lasts over 10 minutes but the song is only three (yes, we sat and regrettably listened to the entire song), and the whole thing is in major slow motion. This makes our head hurt, and we shouldn't ever put this much thought into a Heidi Montag creation, but everybody else was acting like this was no big deal. Which, compared to that "Higher" monstrosity, it's a small issue.

Heidi Montag chose the monstrosity "Overdosin" to be her newest video-worthy single, but unfortunately she and Spencer Pratt actually put some money into this production. That means no flopping around awkwardly on a random beach — but not to worry, because this video is sure to be just as offensive.

Also: It's good to see Heidi has been taking dance lessons from Madonna. As Madge says, you can never have too much crotch.

And another one.

Thought the Monster Squad remake was sacrilege? Get a load of this: MGM, the studio that brought you Barbershop 2, is reimagining 80s cult classic Valley Girl as a musical, melding the story's original punk-meets-square narrative with classic New Wave hits.

Pour out a little Bartles & Jaymes; the 80s are dead.
