The '90s Film: The defining U.S. Indie of the 1990s, cutting a swathe through formulaic moviemaking with shaggy-dog tangents, whipsmart dialogue and shocking violence. 

Clearly, a big-budget remake would miss what made Quentin Tarantino's debut such a treat: the ability to use wit and intelligence to turn the gaps betwen set-pieces into set-pieces themselves.

If They Have To Remake It:   Somebody may as well take the money and run, by shooting all the stuff QT couldn't afford: the heist, the army of cops taking down Mr Pink, yer actual moment of ear-slicing gore.

Oh, and while we're at it, let's explain the title.  How's about a flashback explaining how Mr Orange decided to become a cop after accidentally killing some dogs by a reservoir.
