Would a remake work in today's climate?

Today the lightning is no longer required. Watch Boston Dynamic robot videos and some deep learning algorithms perform and be scared. Be very scared. Or not. Like any machine they're either a benefit or a hazard.

A white guy wearing brown face and doing an offensive Indian accent certainly wouldn't work. Although I would love for someone to have the balls to try it just to trigger the Wokesters and degenerates.

Change Fisher Steven's Character or cast it with an Indian Actor and it could be remade just fine. I will say I haven't watched it since the days of VHS.
