Chopping Mall
 

Gotta love killer robots of all shapes and sizes. This is one of my favorite killer robot movies right up there witht the original Terminator (didn't really care for the sequels) and Class Of 1999. What do you guys think of this film?

there's a rumored remake of it.

Yeah, I know...

A remake? No shit? What's with all the fucking remakes recently surely there must be some original ideas floating about out there somewhere?

nope.

Besides, the idea doesn't matter, it's the execution thereof that counts

A remake done correctly can become a classic itself, just look at The Thing. I've never seen Chopping Mall, all I could think of when I saw this thread was the fourth level of Zombie's Ate My Neighbors :).

you don't like terminator 2? I understand it isn't horror. I never classified the first as horror but now i think about it, it seems like one. I thought the second was good. Not the third. The "terminatrix" seems less dangerous than the liquidator.

Chopping Mall was a cool little flick with a great B cast. Whenever I catch it on Sci-fi it's called Kill-Bots.

Yeh when I first saw it it was called Killbots. Yeh I can't really be fucked with T2 I prefer the original because it was a really dark, unrealenting movie T2 relied on effects too much. I agree there is a lot of good remakes The Fly, The Blob and The Thing all come to mind. A Chopping Mall remake could be awesome my point was why not just pay homage to it while creating something more original?

But why would anyone want to remake Chopping Mall? It's not like it was a seminal horror film or a recognizable title that anyone could profit from.
