If I were given the opportunity to remake one of my favorite movies, here's who I would cast;
Dwayne Johnson as Shep Ramsey
Ed Helms as Charlie Wilcox
Leslie Mann as Jenny Wilcox
Kat Dennings as Theresa Wilcox
Daeg Faerch as Mark Wilcox
Jon Voight as Adrian Beltz
Cameron Richardson as Margie Tanen
Malcolm McDowell as Col. Dusty McHowell
Dennis Hopper as General Suitor
I'd play 'Almost Like Paradise' and 'Do you Wanna go Party' somewhere in my movie. I'd have Adrian Beltz be more corrupt. I'd make Ramsey's suit more indestructible. General Suitor wouldn't be as melodramatic. Maybe show more trouble between Charlie and Jenny's marriage. Theresa would have more attitude and be a little bit more gothic. Maybe have Shep fighting Suitor in creature form at a night club, or something to that extent.
shareI'd shoot for a PG-13 rating. Since Theresa would be about 18 in this one, she would go to a wild party at Wanda's house. (Hey check it out, Wanda lives there.) She would come home crying because some guy had slapped her hard across the face because she wouldn't have sex. Charlie and Jenny are out on a date, and Shep Ramsey sees her face, so he goes to the party and beats the crap out of the guy who hit her, and anybody who gets in his way.

Ok, then how would you do it?

LOL, I think you got a few decent ideas there, Pumpkin Man... Truly an underrated film; Hulk's best! I liked some of the extra angles and different spins you put on things there. Your perspective is honestly a more modern day version of the movie aimed at the same type/s of audience that it was in 1991, really. Some people just aren't as imaginitive as others or have different appeals... I can't say how many times I watched this one as a kid, and over the years; About a year back, I upgraded my taped-off-tv-video tape I'd lived on as a kid to the "Hogan-double-shot" DVD double feature of SC and Mr. Nanny (although decent enough, not quite SC quality, of course.)
My only <possible> disagreement may be about Shep's recasting. Of course no one could do it like the original, but other possibilities could be: Cena (yeah, I know), Orton (could be cooler more anti-hero type of Shep), Stone Cold, Triple H?, who knows who else wrestling-wise... Hollywood-wise: Vin Diesel (lol), Hugh Jackman, Bruce Willis, Tom Jane, or hell they could just throw Arnold and DeVito into the two leading roles, as they were orginally written for; Could be amusing and interesting at this stage of their lives/careers!
Thank you, lmi5177104. I've loved this movie ever since I was a kid, and I'd love the oppurtunity of re-inventing it. Yeah, if nobody is happy with Dwayne Johnson as Shep Ramsey, I could change that.
shareWho would play Hutch?

Hey, I had a dream last night about a Suburban Commando remake, and everybody was playing the same roles again.
shareAfter seeing Hot Tub Time Machine, I would cast Rob Corddry as General Suitor!
shareNow, I would cast Kristen Wiig as Margie!

I like your idea so far, even though Dennis Hopper died.
shareI changed it to Rob Corddry.
