They should remake this instead of Total Recall or RoboCop

Timecop is the ideal remake candidate - a movie with a great concept and poor execution.

Instead of remaking the already awesome Total Recall and RoboCop, they should update this mess.

The Total Recall remake was awful, but check out the cars in it:

Now compare it to the monstrosity that JCVD drives in Timecop:

Already you've got a better movie than the original! Throw in someone who can act and you've got a solid remake. Make it happen.

I remember watching this as a teenager and thinking it was awesome. Just watched it again this evening and felt so let down - thought it was appalling! The only bit I still like from my teens is where that bad guy got his arm frozen in liquid nitrogen and had it kicked off. Maybe a remake could prove better.
