This was a pretty big 80's cartoon and you guys know you watched it! One the coolest theme songs EVER as every 80's kid ran home from the bus just in time to hear it. YouTube - MASK

I think with today's effects and if we could keep it from turning into another "G.I. Joe" mess and it stayed true to the concept this would be a sweet film.

Just curious how many M.A.S.K. fans are out there on here? :love

Oh man, whe I read you're thread title I have to think about my best friend, who is I think the biggest MASK fan you can imagine. He always tells me about the dream to see MASK the movie, we talked about, who can play Matt Trakker or Miles Mayhem and he even made a Youtube video with nice a fantasy casting as well as great vehicle choice.
Mask: The Movie
Maybe you've seen his video before.

His idea, set in a serious, less sterotyped clicheed MASK version with some lighthearted moments:
Matt Trakker - Aaron Eckhart
Scott Trakker - Shia LaBeouf (he imagined a more older Scott, who nevertheless does things on his own with T-Bob)
Alex Sector - Jeff Bridges (when he had his Obediah Stane look)
Bruce Sato - Garrett Wang, Dustin Nguyen or Robin Shou (less hanging out the asian stuff)
Hondo McLean - Laurence Fishburn
Brad Turner - Ben Affleck (he found a pic, where he looks like Turner)
Julio Lopez - Sasha Baron Cohen (ok, I was pretty surprised, but in his Borat guise - well he surely could imitate an accent)

Miles Mayhem - Brian Cox (also a pic with a mustache - really fitting!)
Floyd Malloy - Billy Idol (hey, would could play him better as the guy, who' look was based on?)

Unfortunately, we both haven't found yet the female team members, so far we had some ideas brainstormed: Tricia Helfer or Amy Smart as Vanessa Warfield, Terry Farrell as Gloria Baker (but maybe she's too old) or Elizabeth Banks in brunette
 
I say I'd probably watch it. But it not only needs to have a good cast, but a good director and a solid story. Last thing we need is a repeat of the G.I. Joe movie.
 
I couldn't stand G.I. Joe or Transformers but I loved M.A.S.K. for some reason. I am 100% confident that Hollywood would totally screw this up if they were to make a movie. :thumbsup
 
It would be good but ten to one it would turn out like Transformers and GI Joe or would be filmed like a Fast and Furious knockoff.
 
I had the toys too, and they were awesome, but you know a movie of this would be an unmitigated turd.
 
The cartoon was nothing more than a toy commercial. One that I loved. But it doesn't change the facts of the matter. If your bike turned into a helicopter... why would you ever turn it back into a bike? LOL! (my favorite vehic and character BTW)
 
Well, some of the vehicle changes made sense (if you don't stop to think about it too hard).

So you could drive it to the airfield! Duh! :rolleyes

;)
 
I had a weird dream related to this show last night. So odd. There was a cool toy and everything. Even played the theme. Haven't watched this show in year and years.
 
I still have all of my Mask toys, and I have them all but a for a select few! That tells you how much of a pack rat I am!

Something gives me a fealing, they would totally screw it up as a movie. I mean look at all the other movies that were great cartoon's, that sucked as movie's. They would have to have a killer storyline.

I alaways thought that the figure that came with the motorcycle/helicopter, looked like a tiny Billy Idol! I can't remember his
name.....
 
M.A.S.K. was one of my top 5 favorite cartoon/toys..... Hollywood would just screw it up but I'd have to go see it

name.....

You're mixing him up with the guy who came with a motorcycle that turned into a plane.

The motorcycle-helicopter guy was in a yellow suit and had black hair and shades. The other dude was the Billy Idol guy and his bike was black and red.



I am also stunned that I still remember this. This is why I can't learn new crap at work. My brain is too full of junk like this!! :lol
 
The worst part is I still remember the green motorcycle/helicopter's pilots name: Bruce Sato. He had an alternate helmet when he was the weapons expert for the Rhino.

Shades, yellow suit: Brad Turner, Billy Idol guy (even with the lips!): Floyd Malloy - I posted above :angel

Did you noticed, that they took some known people of the 80's as mask figures?
Like former Polish President Lech Walesa as Miles Mayhem and Idol as Floyd Malloy? Or Zappa as Sly Rex? Never occured to you?
