In recent years there has been a flood of movie remakes. Both in Hollywood and Bollywood. Hollywood dished out remakes of Psycho‚ The Omen‚ and Pink Panther.

Response 4 A film that I recently watched that draws upon stereotypes is Casino Royale. In this film‚ the people from Africa are portrayed as backwards and excessively violent.
