The way I see it is two-fold for this revamping of the original. #1 A way for FFC to keep busy and once again relive his past glories of being the architect of arguably the greatest two films of all time. #2 Why not? The original wasn't greeted with great fanfare. Why not do a do ever? What do they have to lose? If it is better. FFC can be satisfied that all 3 are equally great. If it is worse. It will make the original look all that much better. To make a quick buck? FFC is estimated to be worth $400 million. No need to have a charity event beef and beer for him. This is a chance for him to redeem himself for what he did with GFIII. I think its generally accepted that he did GFIII for the money to start his wineries. I found the original GFIII to be a updated version of I & II. The basically all followed the same storyline starting with a social event. In any event I will look forward to purchasing this latest addition to the DVD's. I already have all the other ones.
