What if Q decided to re-create this instead of adding to the Elmore Leonard movies.
JACKIE BROWN was good, but I think He would have really had fun w/ this one.
That's probably because everything considered as "Tarantino-esque" has been completely ripped from Elmore Leonard's books!
Doh!

He is admittedly a huge fan of Elmore Leonard
shareI must disagree. For whatever reason, Tarantino has stayed far (far, FAR) away from anything to do with sex in his movies. No nudity, no sex scenes, nothing. Considering this one was all about pornographers and full of real porn stars and there was more sex & nudity than I could keep track of, I think Tarantino was, infact, better off going with his adaptation of "Rum Punch".

IF!
I was Emperor and I could remake this movie,
It would involve
1) half the nudity (maybe none, the story and the dialogue would be good enough to get the point across)
2) Femka Jenson
3) Don Cheadle
4) keeping it in the year 1986 (or any part of the 80's)
5) Sarah Roemer (or the girl from Twilight)
i don't know,
just a few things come to mind. The movie was good enough to just be digitally remasterd and shown in 3D.
I would have "Roy" in some role doing a cameo, that's for sure.
To come to mind, you must have a mind to which it can come. You don’t.
shareJackie Brown has Bridget Fonda nudity and a sex scene with De Niro, IIRC.

"Jackie Brown has Bridget Fonda nudity and a sex scene with De Niro".
No frontal nudity though - just a bare ass.

Bingo!! We have a winner!
share^This. How many lapdogs does the disabelled hack deserve?
share^THIS!
share52 Pick-Up could use a remake, I think. The story is just classic Leonard, with one of the most satisfying endings I've seen in a long time.

I disagree
This is an 80s movie through and through
the sleazy video porn is central to its core
Check out Cold in July
Not as good but just as sleazy!
Stop thinking. It makes your think-part hurt. Jackie Brown sucks in a bad way, and is 30 minutes too long

I think someone commented that Tarantino was the first one to get Leonard's mixture of violence and humor quite right. Frankenheimer, although a great director in his prime, never was one for the funny stuff.
