— Ace Yeah I don't know about this.
I'm not sure why, but werewolf movies almost never work and almost never make money. You can bring up An American Werewolf in London, sure, but that was, seriously, could it be this long? That was over thirty years ago.
I'll admit that I liked the Jack Nicholson/James Spader werewolf movie Wolf a bit more than I probably should have. (And that was probably because it was less a werewolf movie than a superhero movie.) But almost no one else liked that movie.
And that was... twenty years ago.
And since then, what? They got to be the second-string Monster Boyfriends in the Twilight movies, but they weren't the stars. I think people claimed to be on "Team Jacob" (or whoever) just to be nice and to pretend along that there was some actual conflict in these movies.
They tried to remake The Wolfman, with Benecio Del Toro if I'm remembering right, and all I remember about that movie was terrible CGI and a convoluted plot that I cannot recall at all and then fast forwarding to the climax, because I was bored and figured I should at least see the Bad CGI Finale.
Will "Wolfcop" change all that, and bring a new respect to the overlooked, underappreciated lycanthrope movie?
Answer: No.
Via @MTotenkopf and @rdbrewer4.
They should remake this movie.
I never saw it, but I did see the trailer, and I was always fascinated by "The Werewolf Break," an intermission where they'd allow you to piece together the mystery of who the werewolf was.

On TV, you have "Being Human" that did fairly well, also a Vampire vs/with Werewolf thing. "Hemlock Grove" went with more subtlety, but still with Vampires vs/with Werewolves. It was great, and did quite well for a Netflix release.

Really, terribly sucked. Which is too bad, because it *could* have been awesome. Instead, they made it so dense and "artsy" that it became too hard to follow.

they cut Brotherhood of the Wolf to shit for the US release (the original release from Canada is much better).
Last two good werewolf movies was the Ginger Snaps series and Dog Soldiers

I think it's been determined that it's 'pleather' that Kate's suits are made out of.
Leather doesn't stretch as well as pleather.

There's also that show named 'Bitten' on SyFy.
I think it's a Canadian series.
One of the things about it, that's different from the usual Werewolf lore, is that 'female werewolves are so rare they're almost non-existent'.
So, there's this beautiful blonde female werewolf in the series that is protected by her pack...and sought after by all the other werewolves.
It's a big element in the storyline.

1- Whodunnit (who is it?)
2- Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde
3- What's the monster (in which case, the monster being a werewolf is more or less what we in software development call "an implementation detail.")
Few werewolf movies have tried to do any of these (and, yes, Hairy Hulk is different) in a long time, and the few that have were terribly written and relied far too much on CGI.
Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Ah, F It. at April 25, 2014 04:36 PM (PYAXX)
"Silver Bullet" (Stephen King film from mid-80's) was okay, and Type 1.
"Dog Soldiers" (from about 10 years ago) was good, and Type 3.
I can't think of any other not-bad werewolf movies I've seen.

As for wolfcop? Partner him/it/her with robocop.
The two will either balance each other's limitations, or disproportionately augment each other's non-humanitarian aspects, entering gore galore serial episodes.

I've watched Lost Girl too...mainly because of the hotness of Dyson.
But Dyson is a Fae...and a 'Wolf-Fae'...which is a bit different than a werewolf.
He can change into his wolf self at will.

I agree.
The last one I remember was "The Departed," which I thought was an excellent movie that had one glaring problem: Nicholson's ridiculous over-acting.
Awful. Embarrassing. Stupid.

200...I'm going to detour here a sec and prolly incur the wrath of more than a few, but Jack Nicholson pretty much has done shite since "The Shining," and, even before that, was an overrated weenie.
----------
Nicholson was good in 'Witches of Eastwick'.
And then there was that other movie where he said "You can't handle the truth!"...I forget the name of it.

I can imagine a clever dialogue a la Oscar Wilde take off on Dorian Gray considering an element from Jekyll-Hyde influenced and a Dr. Moreau affect. Given today's fixation on taking prescriptions, the side effects from mood enhancers create beasts from patients on prescriptions, violent outbursts during black-outs, a la werewolf. That, plus the fascist anti-constitutional brainfarts entering "law enforcement" to SWAT unsuspecting and law abiding US citizens at home, a la wolf in sheep's clothing. What? you have to SEE the wooly booger's fur to recognize dangerous behavior; you have to see the human transformed into beast to know it for what it is and does? Even there, it was backwards, a foreign life inhabiting the human that worked best in my book. One of the best scifi visual effects imho is Stargate given aliens in human host bodies.

A Few Good Men?
Nicholson was good, but I hope the moron horde was righteously indignant that the entire purpose of that movie was to impugn combat military officers as lying sadists. And a lawyer hero? Really? Played by that dwarf Cruise? C'mon.

"Do you think God knew what He was doing when He created woman?
Huh? No shit.
I really wanna know. Or do you think it was another one of His minor mistakes like tidal waves, earthquakes, FLOODS? You think women are like that?
S'matter? You don't think God makes mistakes? Of course He does.
We ALL make mistakes.
Of course, when WE make mistakes they call it evil.
When GOD makes mistakes, they call it... nature.
So whaddya think? Women... a mistake... or DID HE DO IT TO US ON PURPOSE?

/Who, the SCROTUS?/
Don't conflate a bad script with a bad actor. Don't kill the messenger when it's the script, director, and editing that botches a flick.
Jack Nicholson "as" Jack Nicholson? Even "as" himself, better than the run of the mill by a long shot. The same can be said of Al Pacino, or of Robert DeNiro, and so many others.
Doesn't mean they can't pull off great performances when it matters to them.
One guy I love to watch was introduced to me long ago in To Kill A Mockingbird as Boo Radley, the great Robert Duvall in all his humility as the salt of the earth. And a female who can either blend in as supporting actress or steal the limelight with memorable characters is Cate Blanchett.

The Mayor: Callahan... I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore district. You understand? That's my policy.
Harry "WolfCop" Callahan: Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I bite the bastard that's my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How'd you establish that?
Harry "WolfCop" Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross. [Callahan turns and pads out the door]
The Mayor: I think he's got a point.

Except for the Kathy Bates nude scene, About Schmidt was great.

Working title: ''Werepig"
BTW, 'VanHelsing' had werewolves in it, and I loved that movie.
