        Turning a baseball cap backwards is always cool

      It’s always interesting to see what titles a company thinks will sell in a different locale when compared with the original. There was a French sci-fi book in the 90s that came into English as Empire of the Ants, but the original title was simply The Ants. And of course you’ve famously got Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was written in Swedish as Men Who Hate Women.

      But my favorite example is the classic Pixar movie that went over to Japan and became Old Man Carl’s Flying House.

    I always wondered if Arnold Schwarzenegger tricked him into that one too.

      This one was actually good, so probably not. I really enjoyed this movie as a kid.

          Apologies. No, Sly took on “Over the Top” all his own. Dude made some questionable choices in projects, but at least we got “Demolition Man” out of it.

        I saw that in theatre when I was a kid. I remember enjoying it. But hey, I was a dumbass kid.

    I do not remember his opponent being that much bigger. Yeesh! Sly must be really good at arm wrestling.

      So good they made it twice.

      Like, seriously tho. Stop remaking classic movies that still hold up well enough. Did anyone even like the Point Break remake? Or Red Dawn?
