Adding Kilts to Remakes of Old Movies

[macwilkin]

Kilted through the Kiber Pass, that would have been something. Although IMHO The Man who would be King is one of those movies that need not be remade as the original is so good.

Agreed -- after all, Peachy and Danny were not Highlanders in Kipling's original story.

Hmm. I'm seeing a couple of Kurosawa-sensei's movies done in a Scottish Highlands setting... Yojimbo perhaps, or Seven Samurai. Yeah, I kind of like that idea... Seven Highlanders perhaps, or even Seven Scotsmen.

Kilted God Zilla...

[greenguzzi]

Alien vs. Predator, in kilts!?

[Bugbear]

"Man Called Horse" in a kilt.

Zulu would definitely be better if it was a company of the Black Watch involved.

Would you care to suggest that to the South Wales Borderer Regiment?

Would you care to suggest that to the South Wales Borderer Regiment?

Aye, Jock...and actually, the regiment was known as the 2nd Warwickshires in 1879; the name "South Wales Borderers" would come with the Cardwell reforms of 1881. While the regimental depot was in South Wales, the regiment was not exclusively Welsh.

And one more point: Men of Harlech was not the regimental march; it was The Warwickshire Lads. The words used in "Zulu" were written especially for the movie:

Don't get me wrong; I love "Zulu" and especially Men of Harlech, but I love the real story as well.

How about Return of The Kilted Jedi, with Light Claymores. Of course, kilts already appear in some of the Startrek movies, thanks to Scotty, but having the entire crew kilted would be great.

... And don't forget "Planet of the Kilted Apes."

Sorry Ron, you said have some fun.
