But there has to be a car chase, lots of explosions, and an hour of fist fighting where no one gets hurt.

Some have argued that there are some American movies that have inspired "Withnail & I". Some of those movies include:

- Midnight Cowboy
- Five Easy Pieces
- Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
- Cutter's Way

No, I don't think so. None of those movies are anything like Withnail & I, the closest one is "Clerks" as someone mentioned.

Besides, Withnail & I was inspired by director Bruce Robinson's own youth in the sixties. The characer of I [Marwood] was loosely based on himself and that of Withnail was based on Vivian MacKerrell, a friend with whom he shared a Camden house; and "Uncle Monty" is loosely based on Franco Zeffirelli from whom Robinson received unwanted amorous attentions when he was a young actor. He lived in the impoverished conditions seen in the film and wore plastic bags as Wellington boots. Robinson threw four or five years of his life into the script, condensing them into two weeks.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but this is one that really requires you to tickle your tonsils with the business end of a shotgun. The very idea of an American remake!

James Cordon could pull off a Monty.
