- Airwolf. Hi-tech helicopter, villian of the week, vehicular destruction. It's quite easy to see why this was one of my favorite shows during the 80's.
- Automan. Computer generated crime fighter that drove a neon covered Lamborghini Countach.
- Street Hawk. More vehicular fun. Super bike that could go hundreds of miles an hour. Sensing the trend here?
- The Highwayman. 18-wheeler that is a transformer that can also cloak.
- M.A.S.K.. More transforming vehicles as well as powered masks. That works for me.
- Megaforce. Hi-tech mercenary force full of 80's camp and spandex.
- Buckaroo Banzai. Peter Weller before Robocop. In the vein of Ice Pirates and Spacehunter.
- Krull. Epic fantasy. Interesting premise. Very cool weapon in the Glaive.
Now, there have already been some less-than-successful remakes. Knight Rider and GI Joe come to mind. However, if Hollywood is truly out of ideas, the 80's are ripe for the picking.
