I vote for Thundercats live action movie. It could be like Avatar except with feline people instead of whatever animal the N'avi are based on (equine?) and not like Cats the musical which looks ridiculous. I would fully expect a sex scene between Cheetara and Lion-O, or between Lion-O and some hot cat woman. Not sure what I'd want the storyline to be but whatever it is, it would be cool.

Would you want to see it live action or Pixar-style animated? And what would the plot of the movie be? Another day in the life of Doug?

I have the power!!!I think the Thor movie pretty much covered any ground He-Man would tread. If they added She-Ra, then it might be worth watching.

Let's try Haisukuuru! Kimengumi ... That would be quite the challenge...

The challenge would be getting anyone to see it. I was thinking more mainstream American hits from the 80s and 90s remade for the 21st century in live action format.

There's probably a million of things that aren't coming to mind right now, but without any hesitation, I immediately thought of exo-squad. I think I'd like to see something like that made into movie format with today's technology.

I just thought of another one I'd like to see. I'd like to see someone make a film version of The Centurions. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Centurions_(TV_series)) With the special effects technology they have today, it would look pretty cool.

Hokuto no Ken could be awesome for the 18+ people, if done correctly. No I really mean it.

I'd like to see Voltron (lions or cars) in live action format. I guess it would look like Power Rangers, but even that would look awesome if done with modern CGI instead of costumes.

How cool would Sailor Moon be as a legitimate movie? I think Japan had a live action one only cause my brother is a fanboy and I'm not sure if it was lame or not but I think from what I saw it seemed pritty legit. Only problem is I'd like to see it in english but our country would never allow a premise like that to be taken seriously and not bastardized into corny creepy nonsense.


I'd also love to see Transformers do a direct 180 and get a new director on board to do a Beast Wars esqe movie. How great was Beast Wars? I got high to that shit (not meaning I smoked while watching)

I agree with Marik about Centurions and to add my own I'd say Exosquad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exosquad) could have a movie adaptation done pretty easily.

I wouldnt mind an Airwolf movie. That would be epic. Then Hollywood might ruin the world's only cool helicopter with some lame ass design with some really lame weaknesses that would make having a helicopter like that not so ownage.

I think a Live Action Gummi Bears movie would own too. Not like Avatar, but maybe a mix of CGI, Avatar style and Lord of the rings style would make it own.

I'd say a Live action My Little Pony for the rest of you, since I think you're all to embarrassed to ask. :P (Joking)

How about a movie with Airwolf vs Blue Thunder?!?!

I used to love Airwolf! And when it was on TV my cable provider described it as "The better of the two 1984 helicopter shows."

Classic!

I liked Airwolf a lot too. I think Blue Thunder was a movie, but it might have also had a short TV series.


I'd like to see The Greatest American Hero as a movie:

"Tuh nuh nuh nuh, CRACK! Are the mighty powders that can save the daaaaaaaay!"

Yeah, I got high on watching that too. No, not on actual crack.

Transformers ain't got shit on Mask (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH4uLQDBIGY).

Needless to say I'd like this live-actioned.

Holy shit, I had completely forgotten about M.A.S.K.!!!! I used to love that show!!!! I think I had some of the vehicles in toy form, but I can't remember. Oh man, I can't believe you reminded me of that show.

Also, Visionaries! Knights of the Magical Light! Visionaries! With magical powers they fight! Visionaries! Powers of mind, strength, skill, 'n' speed. Powers to accomplish the greatest of deeds. Visionaries, Knights of the Magical Light!

Anyone remember Battle of the Planets, G-Force??

Not enough of one to deserve a remake, but if they did remake it, this girl would have to get the role of the Russian chick with the power of wind:

945

It would suck for her though, since the movie would be a flop. Kind of like Emmy Rossum in the Dragonball movie.

I think Remington Steele would be awesome as a movie. Always loved that show.

Oh shit, Manimal. I remember that show. The Panther and Hawk/Eagle transformations are etched into my brain. Funny, now that i watch that scene with the Panther transformation i realize just how good of an imagination you have as a kid. To me those transformations looked so real and lifelike. Now i see how crappy they really are. Even the old Hulk series transformation looked better.

An obvious troll if its understood that they did this already..... didn't they? Or was that all a horrible horrifying dream??


I vote a sonic the hedgehog movie done with modern animation techniques -BUT NOT IN FULL CG- just CG for some effects. I was at ToysRUs today getting the nephew Real Steel rockemsockemrobobots and in the aisle there was SO MUCH sonic swag. I wanted all of it. Still do.

Now i see how crappy they really are. Even the old Hulk series transformation looked better.You got that right. Last year I tried to watch some movies like Labyrinth which were made when I was a kid and I couldn't stand more than 20 minutes of it. The acting, the story, and the special effects are terrible by today's standards, and you really have to rely on your own imagination and lower expectations about quality to make the movie enjoyable.

Even shows like Robotech look like crap if I watch it now. Happily the storyline and characters still rock so I still love them.

No love for Gargoyles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyles_(TV_series))? I am disappointed.

As many 80s cartoons as I loved, the 90s ones were much better.

It would be a piece of cake to do with Avatar face-mapping CGI tech.
