De wesbsite Mania.com heeft een top vijf gemaakt met film uit de jaren 80, die eigenlijk smeken om een reboot. Nu heb ik het dillema om er één als favoriet te kiezen, en dat is extreem moeilijk aangezien deze behoren tot de sci-fi classics. Dus eigenlijk liever geen remake, toch??

4. Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)

Remo Williams was supposed to make Fred Ward a star and become a box-office hit. Neither happened. However, a hell of an action movie was left behind and a hopeful franchise that would never be. Ward plays a NYPD beat cop whose death is orchestrated so that he can work for a clandestine organization under the leadership of Wilford Brimley. But before saving the world, Remo must train with Korean Zen-master Chiun (An unrecognizable Joel Grey, the famous dancer and father of Dirty Dancing's Jennifer "The Schnoz" Grey.) The bad guys are just text book but Ward & Grey play off each other like a funny old father and son. We are treated to some of the best action sequences of the '80s especially the Statue of Liberty chase & fight during its famous restoration as it was covered in scaffolding's for several years while the city gave her a makeover. I think that this could be the perfect vehicle for Firefly's Nathan Fillion. And casting the role of Chiun as the bullet-dodging master is key. Either way, this movie is good old American action and grit at its best. Stuntmen and very little CGI with the same Rocky-esque patriotic music score make Remo the perfect all-American hero to bring back.
