7. Casey Jones Is... A Cop!?

It was hard not to be excited by Casey Jones' appearance in the movie... except that the film alters the character in a way that feels wholly dishonest to the source material.

While the original Casey was a no-nonsense vigilante, here Casey is in fact a corrections officer, a cop who runs afoul of his superiors and attempts to help save the day in order to impress his colleagues and one day become a detective.

It's such a weird and pointless change to the character, when the long hair and vigilante parody should have been easy facets of the character to nail. At least we got the hockey mask, right?
