Y'all should find and download "Rocks & Trees," a most excellent and funny SG-1 songvid. It's got the song by the Arrogant Worms. I can give y'all the link to it if you want it (and many other SG-1 songvids.) Oopsie, I thought we were in the OT area... another really hysterical SG-1 vid is "Stargate Cantina," based on the spoof song "Star Wars Cantina" which of course was based on "Copacabana." You'll die when you watch it, esp if you're both a Stargate SG-1 and Star Wars fan like I am. To give you an idea: Han - O'Neill Luke - Daniel Obi Wan - Bra'tac Chewie - Teal'c R2D2 - Siler Yoda - Thor Leia - Samantha ooo PM Me the link pwease?

I would cast Owen Wilson as Ralph Hinkley. As far as Bill, Harrison Ford.........I know that's a real long shot, but think about it. Watch that movie Hollywood Homicide with Josh Harnett and Harrison Ford. In the movie he's teamed with a young partner. Owen Wilson would be hilarious as his partner Ralph. Ford and Wilson would be perfect

First Indiana Jones... then Bill Maxwell???
Give a girl a break!! Be still my beating heart!! **thump thump**
I would cast my vote for that, that is if Richard Dean Anderson is busy that week...
I think it would also work with Ford and Wilson.... after all, Maxwell always has to be the better looking one.

Harrison Ford eating dog biscuits.... Hrmmm.. Can't visualize that, and if there's going to be a GAH movie. Bill Maxwell MUST eat the dog biscuits! Though, him saying "kid" a lot... THAT is plausible.

Well he did say kid alot in Star Wars to a young moisture farmer named Luke Skywalker.
As far as Owen Wilson, he's a must.
If this were to be made into a motion picture, you have to make it serious and a comedy. Harrison would make it believeable, where as Wilson would bring the laughs both physical and humorous.
That is what made GAH work. I would also shoot the pilot and have cameos from the original cast, including the students.

As far as Pam goes, in terms of looks, I would go with Courtney Cox Arquette (just because of the material) or Jennifer Connelly. Both are great actresses, however, Courtney loves this kind of material, and Jennifer is picking better parts, oscar parts. If Harrison did get in the picture she would probably want to be involved. What actress or lady for that matter, would give up a role next to Oscar winning Harrison Ford.

I agree. The 90's and 00's oughta be called the Re-hash decades parts I and II. Nothing original any more. Rehashed fashion, music, visual entertainment, the works. Yawn. Come up with something ORIGINAL! My main question during all these re-makes is: WHY? Why not let a classic just be, why take characters we all know and love with a particular actor or actress and ruin it? I mean, Owen Wilson as Ken Hutchinson? Please, he wishes he was even a tenth as handsome as David Soul. Ben Stiller as Starsky?? Right. And OWEN WILSON as Kelly Robinson? I ain't even going there, Jack. What is it with that uggo playing characters who were originally played by gorgeous men?? Next thing ya know he'll be playing Ralph Hinkley. Like they say, it ain't who ya know but who ya... well, you know, lol "There is nothing new under the sun." Regarding Owen Wilson, I stand by what I said in September 2005, not too long after I joined the board. Now, the dude in "The Almost Guys," HE would make a good Ralph. I hope MyTatuo and Silverhammer will forgive me for borrowing her cap and their captions, but they're so funny I thought I'd share the love: (Yeah, that's RC next to him...) From MyTatuo (on Culpalicious): Paul Hernandez (r): All right now, Bobby baby, picture this: this bad guy in the new movie, "Vincent," has a suit, too! But unlike the new hero, "Charlie," Vincent has mastered all the powers of his suit, because he was trained by J.J. Beck, whom the Green Guys reanimate and place back on Earth. Now, in the movie, you would play Beck... Robert Culp (l): Forget it. No way. Not happening. I'm Maxwell, or forget it. Besides, I don't look a thing like Beck! Wasn't he an old guy in a hat and frumpy suit? From Silverhammer: lol! Good one, MT. Actually "good two" cuz it took me a minute to get "but who's this Paul Hernandez, guy?" Yes, I should be smited for my lack of current GAH-knowldge. RC: "One more JJ Beck joke and I'll plug him." Eric Fleming: "Not so fast, Bob. You know, I look pretty good in red." RC: "You're next, Fleming" (billswoman sez... I don't know this Paul Hernandez... am I going to burn in GAH H-E-double hockey sticks now?) (As for Courtney Cox... excellent choice for Pam, I can't believe I didn't think of her too!)

I personally still think the Ralph part should NOT be a big name... just your average joe...

Fleming's an average joe. He's only been in two things. He wrote and directed "the Almost Guys" too. He's good looking in a goofy kind of way, has a decent build, right age. I think he'd be most excellent for Ralph.

I personally still think the Ralph part should NOT be a big name... just your average joe... I agree with this sentiment, Josie. I think that Katt got away with it because while he was well-known, it was only to a degree. I think the Pam character should have elements of this too...and I have a hard time thinking of a good one. I don't know if Courtney Cox would be a good fit because I think too many people will expect her to be like Monica and that might ruin the movie. As for Bill, I had thought that Richard Dean Anderson is a perfect fit (and still do), but I could see Harrison Ford too, now that it was mentioned.

(billswoman sez... I don't know this Paul Hernandez... am I going to burn in GAH H-E-double hockey sticks now?) Paul Hernandez, aka long-time-member MortimerWest, is the screenwriter of Disney's Sky High, and who also wrote a GAH movie script for Cannell which was rejected. Yet again, the remake idea as conceived by Paul "MW" Hernandez......which I borrowed for that funny cap above, except for the reanimated Beck idea that I tacked on to make the Culp-now-looks-like-Beck joke. I have no idea if MW looks like Fleming, either

All right, how about Eric Szmanda as Ralph? I've seen him as Greg Sanders on CSI, and he has some other acting credits to his name, so I really think he could do this. That and he just looks like Ralph Hinkley to me.
Obviously, he won't be as whacky as Jim Carrey, but then again, maybe we shouldn't have too much of that sort of thing in our hypothetical movie. Not if we don't want to wind up with a parody of GAH, anyway.

Oh, and another thing. I don't believe that we should have Ralph and Bill do the "Comic/Straight Man" routine. That would just make the jokes seem forced to me, and forced jokes just aren't that funny.
Now, the comedy on "The Greatest American Hero" mainly centered around the suit, and its powers, and how it was affecting all of their lives. We saw the same sort of premise in "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie", and "The Beverly Hillbillies". Ordinary people having their lives turned completely upside down by some cosmic fluke. The premise worked then, it worked on "The Greatest American Hero", and it would work in this movie. That is, if this movie ever got made.
