Would make a great MST3K film

I loved the Japanese anime of this movie - saw it 15 years ago and loved it. Found this the live action version at a roadside VHS sale. I was so excited! Then I watched it and was disappointed at how BAD it was. Our jaws hit the floor when the guy was having sex w/the Pinball machine/lady. Gave it another chance and watched it with hubby, found new life as a comedy! Would make a great MST3K movie. I still own the VHS copy, wouldn't part with it for anything now. I definitely would still like to see a decent modern adaptation of this movie. The effects were so bad, I just couldn't get past was the scenes with the lasers(?)that looked like those glow necklaces from the Dollar Tree.
