I actually loved the concept and think that the execution was creepy. It's something that I'd actually love to see redone as I think it's a bit dated. I loved the very end, especially, when the satellite was destroyed.

I couldn't disagree more -
the fight was a high point in the movie for me ... completely necessary ... one of my all time favourites and I've seen a lot of people cite it as one of their favourite fights as well ... (another favourite of mine being the hallway fight in Gross Pointe Blank) It was very real, and unreal at the same time .. I thought I was absolutely perfect.
And I can't see it as being dated in a way that demands a remake .. I do see it as being dated in a fun and nostalgic way though.
It's one of my favourite films ... fun as hell from beginning to end ..
but yeah - that's the first time I've ever seen anyone not love that fight ..
