Stallone’s ‘Get Carter’ Voted Worst Remake
Sylvester Stallone’s 2000 reworking of the Sir Michael Caine crime thriller Get Carter has been voted the worst film remake of all time in a new poll.
In a survey of 2,000 film fans by DVD rental company Screenselect.co.uk, a majority voted the Rocky star’s version was abysmal compared to the 1971 classic.
Unfortunately for Jude Law, the recently-released Alfie film – another Caine remake – was also slammed and came in at number six in the poll.
The Anne Heche-starring 1998 version of the Psycho horror film followed Get Carter at two and this year’s flop Thunderbirds entered at three.
The top ten also included Point of No Return at four, Charlie’s Angels at five, Planet Of The Apes at seven, Starsky And Hutch at eight and Cape Fear at nine.
Surprisingly 2001 blockbuster Ocean’s Eleven came in at ten, despite most film reviews lauding the George Clooney film as better than the 1960 original.
