It's sad that it was Raul Julia's last film. What a way to go out. Leave STREET FIGHTER alone unless the remake is better than the Van Damme joint. It’s sad that it was Raul Julia’s last film.

Yet again, I hope it isn't cheezy or cornball (Basically no Power Rangers crud), and if I were the casting directors, I'd use unknowns as the Voltron Force, and a few well-knowns as Coran, Zarkon, Haggar and Lotor. Hope the CGI is tight, too. As for the HE-MAN remake, I hope it's less campy than the 1987 flick with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella. Another 1980s gem comes to film.

They've been known to go kind of wild when they try to explain what a movie is about--as far as we know, they could be talking about what some alien planets look like. But...if the movie IS set on Earth, then it's probably after it's been invaded and Voltron might have to sweep in to save the day... Go lion!
