What the fuck is wrong with movie execs.

Was it a "great" movie? I dont know. It was a point in my childhood, thats all I remember of it. A robot with a crazy laser beam on its shoulder who said "Wouldn't-you-like-to-be-a-pepper-too?"
I dont know if it made a lot of money or not. I would assume the internets talking about it (merely because of passing similarities between the upcoming Wall-E and Johnny 5) had more to do with the idea to remake it, than the amount of money it made at the box office in 1986.

I might pay to see a really awesome new Robocop movie.
Just saying.

A remake of Robocop? Sign me the hell up. Come on, Robocop was freaking terrible, try watching the actual movie and see how dismal and bad it is. A remake would be totally amazing.
Crocodile Dundee? I'm torn on this, it would be absolutely amazing IF and ONLY if they could find someone really good to replace Paul Hogan. He's the only reason this film works and if they can find a replacement for him, everything would be great.
Karate Kid? If you can sit through Karate Kid (any of them) and then tell me that they couldn't make it a MILLION times better right now then you're totally crazy.

I'm not sure what you were going for there, but you essentially made my point for me. Hollywood is remaking a movie that wasn't all that good to begin with. Who the fuck cares?
Beren:
People reminiscing positively about the 80s is very emotionally disturbing.
