Of the 2, I actually prefer the remake for several reasons.
1. It's much livelier
2. Rick Moranis is easier to root for than the dull chump who played his role in the original.
3. The ending is a bit more satisfying
4. It has that great title song.
Not that the original is worthless. After all, it has Jack Nicholson's 1st screen appearance as that hilarious guy who thrives on pain. In fact, this could be the best of Jack's pre-Easy Rider roles.
