@24panels never cared for the 80s remake (found it gross), though not seen the 50s version. Both versions (as well as the 80s remake's sequel) are currently on (HBO) Max in the US. (Barring another WB Discovery content purge... given said streaming service, you're probably better off buying the films on DVD/Blu-ray...)

The 1960 Hollywood writers' strike has come up lately with the *current* writers' strike. The 1960 one was in part over residuals for TV airings of movies. Apparently whatever new tech comes along, A) Hollywood treats it as Public Enemy #1 (off the top of my head: television itself, cable TV, VCRs, DVRs, DVDs, the internet, streaming services) and B) tries to cheat creators (granted, that goes back probably to the silent era, but...).

I assume the 80s remake was set in Canada too?

There's an actual "Fast and the Furious" series on Netflix: an animated series featuring the teenage nephew of Vin Diesel's character.

I gather there's no worse "Curse" film than "Curse of the Pink Panther?"

"No wonder this teleporter failed, it says 'made in Japan." "What're you talking about, Doc? All the best teleporters are made in Japan." 🙂

@dtgeek I wouldn't say that there isn't a worse film with "Curse" in the title only because if I do it means we'll end up cursing ourselves to watch it!
