Original Movie: Seven Samurai (1954)

Original Genre: Samurai action

Remake: The Magnificent Seven (1960)

Remake Genre: Western

The Magnificent Seven is such an iconic tale of the frontier that it’s genuinely surprising to learn it is based on a story from not only another genre, but another country and historical period. Six years prior Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa released maybe his magnum opus, Seven Samurai, a tale of desperate village that recruits a group of seven ronin to protect their village from raiders. Interestingly, when the film was first released in America, it was retitled The Magnificent Seven —and when, a few years later, John Sturges made an Americanized version of the same story, now about a Mexican town under siege and the band of gunslingers who assemble to defend them, it borrowed that same name.

Box Office Total: $15.6 million worldwide

The Bonfire of the Vanities was one of the best-selling and most-discussed books of the 1980s. The film rights were highly sought after, and purchased by Warner Bros., who brought in A-list director Brian De Palma, and recruited such notable actors as Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, and Bruce Willis to headline the cast.

Unfortunately, all three stars were miscast, and much of author Tom Wolfe’s social satire was sanded down in the transition from page to screen. The result: One of the most infamous flops in Hollywood history, and one that’s the subject of one of the great books about moviemaking ever, Julie Salamon’s The Devil’s Candy.
