Another thing I did not like about the remake was how R. Lee Ermey's
character tried to be so much like the late, Jim Siedow's character.
Nobody could EVER be as good as Jim was as Drayton Sawyer!! I loved
how he had the split personality thing going. One minute he'd be nice
and the next he'd be evil. That is talent! Really do miss him, too!
If New Line goes through with this sequel to the remake, which most
likely they will, it's definitly not getting any of my cash!
