2001 Maniacs (2005)
1964's "Two Thousand Maniacs!" was a dark comedy that was meant to dominate the drive-in circuit. The 2005 remake attempts to recreate the same sense of "grindhouse terror" with its brutal violence and over-the-top gore. The plot follows a group of tourists in a Southern town who find themselves being terrorized by locals.
Fathers' Day (1997)
At the time, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams were Hollywood's top-selling comedians. In their 1997 remake of the French film "Les Compères," they play two men who are both convinced they're the father of one woman's child. Needless to say, it tanked.
