Probably because it's a pretty popular cult classic alot of people really dig it plus there's a boom in the robot sci-fi thing (Matrix, T3, ect). I think it was a pretty strong entry into the stalk and kill movie because that stlye of film was pretty much dead by then and franchised itself into uncountable sequels. But its probably being made because the rights would be cheaper to get than stuff like TCM and Dawn of the Dead.

The one thing that always killed me about chopping mall was the poster.

A big, gauntleted hand holding a shopping bag full of chopped up body parts. And didnt the robots shoot people, rather than "chopping" them.

ahhh good ol' b movie logic. Especially in the 80s when the poster didnt have to have ANYTHING to do with the actual film.

Haha, I remember that poster. No one got chopped up.

Yeh they were just lasered and whatnot. Gotta love that exploding head bit! Not as cool as the one in Scanners but pretty good. I've got an article somewhere about the 80s movie posters some of them were shockingly done nothing to do with the movie at all. I guess they were just made to lure the audience in to seeing some violence and sex. I'll post the article once I find it all my shit is packed up at the moment cause I'm moving.

ooh! I've been meaning to see this. I love Paul bartel and Mary Woronov in Eating Raoul. I hear they cameo in this one.

Yeah, it's a brief one but they are the same characters. Dick Miller cameos in it too.

I haven't seen Eating Raoul what's it like?

Not my type of movie, and it really sux that they are remaking it. But the poster and cover of the movie kicks ass...

i bought an original VHS of chopping mall without a cover a few years back,from some creepy guy on a market - never saw him again......but anyway anyone know where i can get a cover to print?
also a re-make of this one would be quite good, a worthier remake than most of the stuff that has been churned out latley that didn't need remaking

Splatter Phreak,

I found an image on the web you can use for a box cover:

Also, I have an original copy of it in my collection which I could scan the cover of, if you're looking for the literal original box cover.

I'm a fan of the movie but I'm going to remain unbiased on the forum for now. I like most campy B-movies regardless of how stupid some people think they are. There's usually something entertaining about most of them, even if they're unintentionally funny for whatever reason. Chopping Mall fits that catagory in some ways.

I'd actually welcome a remake of Chopping Mall, just to see the newer perception of what the producers think the movie should look like. Although, they must improve the robots for a modern remake.
