Re comedy re-make idea: The classic moment of The Defiant Ones was actually lampooned a long time ago (not sure who did it on TV but distinctly recall seeing it). In the iconic(SPOILER alert) almost-final scene where a CU shows black and white hands reaching out to help each other, the parody version has the Poitier character suddenly pulling back his hand from the Curtis character at the last second and gleefully deserting the sucker with a line that went something like: "Bye bye, whitey."

i know exactly what you're talking about. a friend and i use to bust up at the early '80's half hour comedy sketch of the george kirby show. most shows will depict kirby and a white guess chained together and the laughs rolled in.
i believe this is where the re-make comedy idea comes from and i share w/ most posters that this shouldn't be done. but for fun i choose chris rock and jeff foxworthy

I would choose Vin Disel and 50 cent. What a combination? Two big strong men handcuffed together. Lots of action there.

stick to the same plot and use Ray Liota and Danny Glover as joker and cullen.
if you don't think they could do it, watch Dumbo drop.

Unfortunately, Hollywood already remade/ruined this classic film with 1996's "FLED". It starred Lawrence Fishbourne and Stephen Baldwin. It wasn't a drama, or a comedy, or really much of anything. The racial conflict is that there is not a racial conflict with the exception of one surly line from Baldwin. If they make this movie again I will only have a question: WHY!?

It was also redone with Robert Urich and Carl Weathers in 1986.

He's right, already made. And for what I remember (I watched when I was a kid) it wasn't a bad film.

Christopher Walken and John Witherspoon. It would be art.

First off, this film should NEVER be "re-made".
However, in the event that Hollywhore should be so lame as to attempt a "re-make", then I would recommend the following casting for the lead roles:
Edward Norton (white guy)
Chris Rock (non-white guy)
Let's just hope this NEVER happens. Christ.
