Episode 191 Remaking Enter the Ninja (1981)

Invasion of the Remake once again enters the halls of Cannon Films, this time we re-imagine a movie that started a ninja/martial arts craze that would last for most of the 1980's, Enter the Ninja (1981). We'll stick to the shadows, striking when least expected, like a well trained ninja assassin, with a theoretical remake of Enter the Ninja!

Episode 192 Ghost In The Shell (1995 Vs 2017)

Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell (1995) is a cyberpunk, anime, masterpiece that questions what makes us human. Is it the body or the soul (our ghosts)? The 2017 live action remake starring Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbæk, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, and Michael Pitt attempts to expand on this idea. This week Invasion of the Remake explores this high tech world of cyborgs, espionage, and artificial intelligence as we compare the anime to the live action Ghost in the Shell (2017).

Episode 193 Remaking The Keep (1983)

German soldiers have been stationed at the Keep, but an ancient evil has awoken killing more of them each night. The Nazis are forced to turn to a Jewish professor to help them solve the mysteries of the Keep before more soldiers fall to this unknown force. With such a strong premise Invasion of the Remake deems The Keep worthy of our patented re-imagining. Join us as we enter The Keep.

Episode 199 Remaking Howard the Duck (1986)

IOTR enters the Marvel Universe with its first feature film from executive producer George Lucas, Howard the Duck (1986)! This maligned water fowl gets a bad rap and we think with his recent cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Endgame that it is time to revisit this cult classic starring Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, Tim Robbins, Ed Gale, and Chip Zien. You don't want to miss our take on how to bring back Howard the Duck to the big screens complete with our own fantasy casting.
