No doubt about it: one of the big trends in movie-making right now is the all-female remake of classic movies. We’ve had the Ghostbusters reboot and Ocean’s 8 with Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock will be with us in June. But when it comes to Die Hard, it’s already been done back in 1990. Very badly indeed. Using much of the same cast as his previous film Sorority House Massacre: Nighty Night, director Jim Wynorski embarked on this uplifting female empowerment yarn. But first he had to work out how to get his gun-toting ladies to strip down to their underwear. Brilliantly, he decided to set the whole thing in a lingerie company situated in a tower block. Employed to move boxes around, the busty, buxom cast can’t resist trying on some of the firm’s wares, whereupon the building’s possessed janitor starts to menace them. Time to break out the convenient big guns for scantily-clad whupass.
Bristol Bad Film Club’s screening of disgraceful romp will be introduced and discussed by comedian Ellen Waddell. All profits go to SARSAS. Go here for tickets.
