    Gotta bring back Worm and KGB. This was a great movie. Hope the 2nd one is just as good,
  • MiloMilo
    As much as I enjoyed Rounders, I have a horrible feeling that the sequel will suck HUGE . . .

    and the hell with Worm, I wanna see KGB, K'nish, and Famke Jannsen's characters if it's going to be old home week.

    A movie like this needs it's weasel to come back or a new weasel to enter the fray.

    I've read other articles suggesting both Damon and Norton would be interested (link1, link2). Not so sure about Malkovich. Besides, if it's based in Vegas, it doesn't make sense for KGB (illegal club owner) or K'nish (grounded grinder) to be there. I'd like to see some creativity, with new goons and bookies and blood-sucking rail-birds...

    I think K'nish could work as he could easily explain how he now "grinds it out in the comfort of his own home" and satty'd in. Worm makes sense too as he can find some way to weasel into the tourney.

    And get his ass kicked by cheating the LVPD runners at Flo's Diner lol

    This is awesome to hear! Funny enough, I just watched the original the other night while I had some tables up.

    if they swing it as mike playing in the main event, they could have any number of characters come back as they could also be playing in the main event. it wouldn't be crazy to see KGB show up for a tournament, would it?

    A new Rounders movie is exactly what the poker worlds needs to introduce the game to a new generation of players. The WSOP and WPT would be stupid NOT to get involved in some way. Great opportunity for P*s and FTP also.

    They really should leave it alone.

    I get the feeling its gonna end up being more "Lucky You" than a darker "Roundersish" form, which is unfortunate.
  • MiloMilo
    I didn't mind Lucky You all that much, but I agree . . . if Rounders II treads that path it will be trash.
  • CerberusCerberus
    There were very few redeeming qualities in Lucky You. I think the biggest one was when it ended.
  • HVEEPOKERHVEEPOKER
    Oh come on. Lucky you wasn't that bad. Not as corny as The Last Casino.
  • CerberusCerberus
    Never seen that one so I'll have to assume you're correct. I just found the whole thing a little too goofy in terms of how they beat you over the head with all the stuff each character said that was important. They'd say it in the beginning of the movie, then 5 more times throughout it and then, in case you hadn't gotten the message, they say it again, really thoughtfully, at the end of the movie. I will say that I thought Robert Duvall gave his usual ass kicking performance :)
  • MiloMilo
    "I am the Great . . . Santini !!!"

    Duvall is money . . .
  • JohnnieHJohnnieH
    SPOILER: It will be revealed that KGB is Mike's father.
  • HVEEPOKERHVEEPOKER
    yeah but Matt Damon had a really hot GF in the first one.
