Until I watch the original I cannot say anything about it. I did enjoy watching the remake though and that is going to have to go into my Netflix list of films that I would like to watch is the original The Hitcher film so, I can make my comments about the original and compare notes about the original to the remake. From what I understand is that the girlfriend is the one who is killed in the original and the boyfriend lives. Where as in the remake they switched it all around a causing the girlfriend to get killed and the boyfriend remains alive.

Now I will make this comment about The Hitcher II. though. When I watched that the other night I was thinking that the girlfriend was going to be the victim reliving what she had gone through watching her boyfriend get killed by a homicidal maniac when instead I see the original actor C. Thomas Howell return to face his demons of a stranger killing his girlfriend. Now I did like the sequel for him getting revenge even though in the end it is his new girlfriend who gets the revenge on this stranger.

Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the "girlfriend" in the original.

Sophia Bush is pretty cute. But I think Sean BEan was fantastic as the villian, and that 442?? and the trans am? Awesome!

reply

I totally agree with you there about the 442 and the Trans Am in the remake! Sean Bean did a fantastic job playing the Villain like you said! I loved it!

It's a quality thriller, for one. The remake, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.

Just about any actress is hotter than Jennifer Jason Leigh. But unlike Bush, Leigh was famous for her acting chops.

Agreed, Benji. I really found her attractive in The Hudsucker Proxy!

JJL has a great body though, you should check her out in Flesh and Blood.
