I say that all the time.
that line is funny because he is driving at night in the rain with sunglasses on.

While using one hand to eat a sandwich.

As was mentioned earlier, the Witch Mountain remake was a soulless abomination. I have a lot of fear about this. There are many other actors who could pull off Jack Burton better than the Rock.

I'm a big fan of the original but I'm not sure the Rock has done anything that I've found to be funny and humor is definitely a part of that movie. While I don't think Vin Diesel would be a good choice either, at least he did that Navy Seal babysitter movie which surprisingly was good (and my second favorite movie of his). I think the guy who does Starlord in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie has the necessary level of smartass-ness for the part.

Yeah I could see that guy doing the character well. Unless the rock isn't playing Jack Burton b but just a guy continuing the story

You guys should forget about Witch Mountain already - everyone else has!

Plus, it was a fairly lame movie to begin with.

This one here has real potential - and yes, Dwayne adds to that potential.

Now, whether or not they live up to that potential is another thing, but I'm optimistic!

Now this really pisses me off to no end!

Does anyone else love how James Hong has played Lo Pan in like 5 different things? (TMNT, Regular Show, Lopan style, The Chronicle.) They should just cast him again in this, but that's probably too cool an idea.

I'll watch it on TV just to see how much they feth it up.
