I seriously must have watched the original at least 15 times in my youth and LOVED it.
At one stage I watched it for Twooooo wooooo wooooooooooooo weeeeeeeee eeeeeee  eeeeeeeeeks straight ( fans will get this )

I recently watched it a few weeks back late one night and it was corny and cheesy as all hell and I could not for the life of me 'recall' why I used to love the film - GREAT STORY - really bad acting, extremely cheesy special effects.

A re-make done well could be alright and yes as a pinball theme I think there are things that could work well - not sure if it is a BIG enough theme for Stern to devote a pinball run too however 

I was much the same as you mate, then watched it with my wife the when it was on the box, I think I over hyped it a bit as she had never seen it before, not quite as good as I remember it being

But Arnie movies are always good for a laugh over a few drinks, some piss funny quotes, my favorite to take the piss of it Commando.

"Let orf some steam Bennett"
"Don't disturb my friend, He's dead tired"
"I let him go"
"I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry"
