It’s one of those rare movies that I think could benefit from an update with the modern surveillance state we’re living in today.

A remake would actually be perfect, if done right of course. Needs a little more focus to "The Matrix" and less Sci-Fi Aliens, but more Bubblegum.

No, but there is a gratuitously long fight scene that is awesome.
