7. Cobra (1986)
This film has to be remade simply because it was awful! End of. How dare Cobra fail the awesome decade it was born in! I guess, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone's bulging muscles had to be displayed in hyper-masculine charades as many times as it could, as part of Hollywood's perception if this being a money-making formula (and rightly so to an extent)... With Stallone starring alongside his then wife Brigitte Nielson, and also writing the screenplay, it is no wonder this film was doomed to be a critical failure from the start - regardless of it's financial success - a refund should have been issued to all instead! However, It would be nice to see a Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti as a police officer with a little more depth and insight to his character; as opposed to being an inhuman Action Man - well that could be a whole movie altogether! With a new cast, new screenplay, new director, I'm sure Cobra could be a critical success.
