10 Films Hollywood Should Have Remade Instead Of Ben Hur

The late, great Roddy Piper is Sam Hell, the world’s last fertile man, who gets a dream assignment: he has to find some beautiful women, rescue them from their captors and get them pregnant.

The catch: their captors are a group of mutated, chainsaw-wielding frogmen that live in Frogtown, a section of the desert from which outsiders rarely return. To give him extra motivation, Piper has a bomb strapped to his crotch, set to explode if he attempts to run away. (He’s also partnered with Sandahl Bergman, so the odds really are stacked against him).

In the wake of Mad Max, cheap post-nuke movies like this were a dime a dozen, but now that trend has ended, a Frogtown reboot would stand out in this era of shark movies and zombie flicks. Especially if they talked Dwayne Johnson into playing Sam Hell (or if the movie goes straight to VOD, John Cena).
