The remake is a pale shadow of the original. Cleavon Little was amazing in a way that nobody else could emulate.
Check out the original film... the engine sounds are very different (and is that an adjustable differential on that thing?)

Not including the final 30 seconds, then?
But yeah, I loved the original as well, and was sorry it got remade. Same for 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Good drive-in movies that should have been left alone. Almost without exception, remakes are a bad idea, even if they do well financially. They say nothing the first film didn't already say. Would anybody do a remake of 'Bullit?' Or 'Duel?'
If you are going to spend tens of millions making a film, spend a couple hundred grand and hire some writers, and write a new one. I think remakes mostly succeed only if there are enough young people who don't remember the first one.
