In the remake, he is given the name Joseph "Big Joe" Grizzley, and plays a larger part. Here he is shown to be a gruff mean spirited bully of a mechanic who is the leader of the Phelps Garage Company rather than just an employee. Big Joe goes inside a restroom and Myers follows him. Myers and Grizzly fight and the killer ends his life, stabbing Joe twice with his own knife. After killing Joe, Myers takes not only his clothes but also his knife.
