I never fukked with Spike Lee again after this

[AnonymityX1000]

dont know why people hated that shyt.
its the exact same movie as the original...


just a Spike Lee Joint.

It is also a lot shorter and the impact of the reveal was not set up well. But wow, they actually made it a bit darker that the original.

Nobody wanted a remake of a foreign movie 10 years after the original came out. Had nothing to do with Spike Lee, anybody could've remade it and the response would be the same. It originally had Justin Lin, and later Steven Spielberg attached to it before Spike. People wasn't feeling that shyt, either.

Most people didn't fukk with it when it came out.

Got mixed reviews and flopped at the box office.

Fred.

I remember. I don't think it even got a theatrical release in any of my local theaters.
Fun fact: According to Roger Ebert (who praised the film), Bamboozled was the first major motion picture to be filmed in HD.

I liked both versions, and I thought Spike did a great job on his version.
The only real difference that I can remember was the octopus scene.

It got a very limited theatrical run. I picked it up from Blockbuster a couple years after it came out.

Thought it was cool but there was no way in hell this was gonna be promoted properly and get a wide release, given the content. Not even in 2000.

And this shyt would never make it out of a pitch meeting nowadays.

It flopped because no studio or distributor wanted to touch the movie. There was no money to make, to distribute or to market the movie and it only got made and released because Spike scraped the money together.

Yeah, I remember when Spielberg & Will Smith were attached to the remake, but it fell through. Oh, those old IMDB boards certainly were up in arms about it if you catch my drift.

Especially now!
Do you know how many boycots and cancel tweets there would be if Bamboozled would be made now?

I got my copy at Blockbuster, too. Those 5 for $20 dvd clearance bins!

I never took the Will Smith stuff even remotely seriously. I remember they had to rewrite "Hancock" like 10x before he was happy. If he signed on to "Oldboy" it would be an entirely different movie.

Why not? Dude fell off a cliff for years but he bounced back a bit recently and his early filmography is spectacular.
