What about a big-budget American Re-make?
They could set it on route 66 with the two guys from Dude Where's My Car? on a Harley holding up Greyhound buses wearing special effects laded masks...
Sorry, I'm going to have to stop, my brain wont contemplate going any further...
Now you've done it!
Surely this film cant be bastardised by the likes of hollywood! Can it?

Go way. These days, you'd be on CCTV in Britain wouldn't you? And the cops would have caught them long before they ever got to their second heist. Ever seen Sugarland Express or Dog Day Afternoon? Given the right political climate Americans are just as keen as anyone to cheer on antiheroes!
shareHow about keeping stupid ideas to yourself?
shareWell, speaking as an American (I live in Ohio) who LOVES this film, if you really want to ruin it and screw up all the charm and humor, let some US film company do a remake.
In the first place, Route 66 is not a major travel route any more -- almost everyone flies (I don't, hate planes, haven't been on one in 26 years) or uses the interstate highways. Secondly, Greyhound busses are passenger vehicles -- no one that I know of runs tour busses through the countryside like they held up in the film. And trust me, if you're travelling by Greyhound bus, you don't have any money to speak of. It's a last choice mode of travel. I'd rather walk than take Greyhound.
And I dread to think who they would get to do the soundtrack (shuddering at thought). Nope, an American remake would be a disaster Leave things be.
