Well, bad news; the most recent rumors of a remake were that it is to be directed by Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp.

That just reminds me that there was a cartoon for the movie Evolution, anyone remember that movie? That was a fun little movie.

And nearly every cartoon from the 80s. God some of them had gorgeous title animations. Too bad they spent the entire budget on them.

Thundercats is a prime example.

I meant more the lack of dead zone, considering only the center of it is actually in movement. Sorry I didn't meant that personally. I really like the gif, I just want to optimize it and importing it into Photoshop to do it myself doubles the tiny movement of the camera and the whole thing becomes a jiggly mess for some reason.

I would have been happy if most of the movie was these sort of scenes. Basically everything else sucked bad.

Disagree. The robot was pretty cool too, could have more of it running around.

Everything else though yeah.

Rewatching some of this as an adult really did destroy some of my childhood memories. I remember it being the most exciting action packed thing imaginable, and it just doesn't work at all through grown-up eyes. Same with Transformers, sadly. G.I. Joe, on the other hand, loops all the way back around to awesome though due to campiness and barely concealed homoeroticism.

There's been multiple movies where someone tried to use a helicopter to mow down the protagonist. Wouldn't having the blades chop someone up while still airborne pretty much crash the chopper?

I assume you're talking about the tilt of the rotor disc required to get the tips near the ground, in which case, yes. The helicopter would either be plowing into the ground or (if given enough collective) accelerating forward fairly quickly. This is how helicopters accelerate in any direction, by tilting the rotor disc. A prime example is some James Bond movie with Michelle Yeoh, I'd find it but phoneposting atm. Tomorrow Never Dies.

A helicopter cannot do this without accelerating forward:

I'll have to get the link from home, but some legit site is offering all episodes, unlimited streaming online for a one-time fee (like $300?). I think it covers anything that has not been released on DVD yet as well. Not sure about the original Rhino releases, so maybe a no go on Cave Dwellers, Pod People, etc.

It's possible this is apocryphal, but I gather that in the Vietnam war, when troops were being extracted from jungles, they would use explosives to clear the jungle for the Hueys.

If the LZ they cleared was not quite big enough, the Huey would clear the LZ by itself, using its main rotor. Not full trees, I don't think, but I definitely heard that it would do light vegetation and branches.
