9 Films That Would Benefit From Being Remade

If even an inconsequential slab of 80s cheese such as Red Dawn can get a big bucks remake, then getting a reboot of this Sylvester Stallone classic in front of the cameras shouldn’t prove too challenging.

The movie has all the cop clichés that audiences love: a monosyllabic hero with a pain in the !*$% boss, a bug eyed psycho killer and lots of action. In this troubled cosmos, we need more pictures with a black and white worldview where you can tell who’s evil just by looking at them.

A remake could also flesh out the motivations of The Night Slasher and his cohorts, who in Stallone’s version appear to want to change society by banging axes together in a warehouse. They talk about the “new world” they’re trying to create, but there’s precious little evidence that it’s anything other than a pipedream, unless the first step is to try and kill Brigitte Nielsen.
