Edit: Misread the comment, Im talking about the original but I think the point stands.

These days its not great but for its time it was, it came out at a time when goth culture was on the rise, the soundtrack slapped and Brandon Lee died making it... it has a gravitas given to it by time and circumstance that no remake could touch.

It would be like remaking The Matrix, with the ubiquity of smartphones, "AI" and internet fridges now... it just couldnt hit the same. The remake might be a good movie, but its just not going to have that something.
