Word on the street is that there is a remake in the works of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
This might be the LAST movie that comes to mind where remakes are concerned. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is a 1991 film starring Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson as two bikers in the then-future 1996 who put together a bank heist in order to save their favorite bar from foreclosure (by the same bank). There is more to it than that, but I won't spoil the pure over-the-top ridiculousness of it all.
Then again, with the right cast and direction this might work. In addition to Rourke and Johnson the original film also starred Tom Sizemore, Giancarlo Esposito, and Vanessa Williams. That wasn't too bad a collection of talent.
By the way, the remake may be starring Jason Momoa and Tom Hardy. I'm only reporting what I've heard.
I guess we'll see if this pans out. In the meantime if you want a real dose of Nineties-flavored dystopian action-comedy, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man may strike your fancy. Worth checking out if for no other reason than its opening sequence set to Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead Or Alive".

It can't be completely bad. The music is by Basil Poledouris.
