It is easy to spot the stock shots from the 1939 epic of Empire. This film having been shot in Technicolor Monaco whereas the original was shot in Frisco and gives a completely different quality.
Everything about this remake is inferior to the original. The worst problem is the casting of Beau Bridges in the lead.
They have truncated and abridged the story taking out the tension and most exciting elements of the original.
The climactic fight looks as if shot on a beach in Spain. You almost expect Terry Jones to stagger on and say"and now for something completely different". At least that would add entertainment to this poor and pointless remake.
