There are several nods to the original in the movie, but they are not delivered in the smart-arse Craven-style that became so popular afterwards - this has become significant over the years.
I think the decent performances and impressive style of this piece overrides any negative marks about "stupidity" (the odd limo-guy included!) - wasn't Hooper's own sequel filled with some rather far-out, daft characters and scenes?

Yeah it was. And I wasn't a real huge fan of that one either.
I just rewatched TCM:TNG again last night. Zelwegger did a better job than I remembered and the plot was a bit cooler too (A small bit. I still graded it a D.), but the majority of the acting still sucked as did the limo guy and the lack of any cool kill scenes. All in all, just not an impressive movie... And who the fuck was flying that plane at the end came out of nowhere to clip Vilmer? That was something I just realized was never explained.
