First, I vote for the origional!
I haven't seen the new version, but probably will one day. I like Jeff Bridges(loved his Dad in "Seahunt", but not much for Ron Ely)
I'm not much of a fan of remakes. Continuations, most times yes, but remakes are not for me!
Jack Ryan, the C.I.A. Analyst was played by three different actors in three completely different movies. Not a problem for me! Liked em all!
I think they should have made a new version. Rooster pissed off those Texicans, when he collected his bounty, and they've come north for revenge. Rooster gets them all but ends up in that little patch of ground Mattie had reserved for him!
When they do bury Rooster make sure they throw Warren Oates in first!
