Now I'm a reasonable guy, but this is a very unreasonable thing. I'm sure Punk is smashing his head into a wall as we speak.

Surely you are a man of connections in the wrestling world. Can't you get a message to Rock that this is just plain WRONG. Sure, maybe he can pull off a semi-Jack Burton, but who the $%#& is going to play Lo Pan?!! WHO?
And did you know James Hong is 86 years old? Holy schnikies.
I don't get why it has to be a remake instead of just a sequel. BIGGER Trouble in Little China! This stuff writes itself.
The main problem is that Rock is 100% believable as an ass-kicking action hero, whereas the gag with Jack Burton was that he was being played by Kurt Russell. He's SUPPOSED to be all talk. And you just know some producer is gonna be like "You know, the problem with the original movie was that no one took Jack Burton seriously" and then it'll all get wrecked. Between this, Robocop, and Total Recall, my childhood is yada yada yada.
