B / low budget movies that should have a modern remake.

There was a live action movie from the early 80’s that I liked better than Krull, but I can’t remember the name. I think the name was Dragon Lance, but I keep getting a result of either D&D stuff or the 80’s cartoon. It was a pheasant kid that ends up forging a lance and killing a dragon and it’s babies. From what I remember, it didn’t seem low budget (the dragons looked pretty awesome), but I could be wrong. I think it deserves to be in here as well.

Dragonslayer. The guy from Porkies and Ally McBeal was the hero. Denis Muren did the stop motion effects work.

I've watched Wrath of the Dragon God, it was awesome. Even had a teleport mishap! Didn't know there was a third one, I'll have to track that down.

yeah, the two SyFY channel sequels, "Wrath of the Dragon god" and "book of Vile Darkness" are actually pretty solid.
Its actually the same creators as the Wayans movie, which is crazy.

They are both low budget made for tv B movies through and through. But they are coherent, and are on point D&D.


Some of you guys are making terrible suggestions. Killer clowns from outerspace. What the heck makes you think anyone could make a better version of that? that was a bunch of SFX guys, deciding to make their own 50's B movie with 1980 effects. you can't top that. Today would be a total CGI shitfest.
Ice pirates, Dragonslayer, etc.. no fucking way..

Look at the Conan reboot. that had the Rock and still kindof sucked.

The BAD sword and sorcery movies. Absolutely. you are spot on with that. We need some kickass manly men, womenly women heavy nudity Deathstalker sword and sorcery movies with the DnD resurgence.

wrath of the dragon god, and book of vile darkness also are perfect examples of what could be remake. Think "IT". decent made for TV mini-series with shitty FX.
That is perfect for a hollywood remake, from a skilled director.

I would like to see the SJW take on a new- true to form remake of Barbarian Queen

Lena Dunham would star in it.

Here's a 2 min recap. Glorious.

How about this masterpiece with a stellar cast of Christopher Plummer, David hasselhoff and Caroline Munro. Music by John Barry who did all the old Bond soundtracks. What could possibly go wrong

Conan would have been vastly better than that pile of shit if The Rock were in it. You're mistaking Jason Momoa for him, which should be punishable by death.

The Sword and the Sorcerer needs to be remade better. Fucking Matt Houston as a sword-wielding hero bitches!

EDIT: Oh, and I had completely forgotten how much baby batter I sprayed for Tanya Roberts back in the day. Jesus Christ she was so hot. Aside from just having a ridiculous body, her eyes always put her over the top in terms of hotness to me. I watched her "PG" movies OVER AND OVER AND OVER. My parents never even knew there was nudity, thanks to having a VCR in my room!

lol. oh shit you're right.
Rock was in Hercules.

Time Guardian with Carrie Fisher.
I think it had a great premise but a poor execution.

Man, I watched that movie so often as I kid, it was one of my favorite. Tanya Roberts was so hot, especially in her full frontal nudity part in the PG Sheena(the movie sucked but that scene was legend when you're 15 in the 80's).

I'm still convinced at least 85% of the people you see who have ferrets as pets, did so because they saw these movies as a kid.

The only people who want ferrets as pets are people who've never had to live with ferrets.

Fun discussion time - what movie from years past that was maybe a B-Movie or low budget flick that would actually make a good/fun etc. Modern movie if given a decent budget... not necessarily huge blockbuster stuff etc.

I'll start with Deathstalker

Deathstalker 2 was better.

Need a reboot of Hawk the Slayer as well.
