    A Robocop statue is going up in Detroit.

    Robocop looks like it is better than Terminator at predicting the future. Once cops are gone, we'll probably need robots and cyborgs.

    Maybe my memories have been colored by time, but I remember Robocop being pretty clever, not so much the early T800.

    This is correct.

    Both great movies though.

    Now do Krull vs. Beastmaster

    This isn’t your purist’s dream battle. The T-800 is clearly some sort of mashup of all of the Terminator movies where the Terminator has ‘learned’ from humans. On the other side, Robocop seems to lean on ED-209, who was close to his match in Robocop 2.

    $59.95 for sprite games with very low content is a rip off. They should offer past consumers some sort of refund.

    I would love to see robots and drones and cyborgs take over law enforcement

    like if someone try’s stealing your catalytic converter
    The cops can order a drone strike on the thief

    crazy guy on the subway ?
    Armed robots

    All the channels are I follow are better than the main stream legacy cable media that the suckers in the d&d watch

    I bet they don’t even have OLEDs
    Or Dolby vision

    The Terminator was the better movie. it felt almost like a slasher thriller. Robocop was kinda cartoonish with over the top violence. I'd say R2 > T2 tho.

    The Terminator is a near perfect movie. There are a couple of effects shots that don't hold up (Arnold's fake face after he does his own surgery, and the stop motion of the endoskeleton coming down the hall at Cyberdyne), but most of it could come out today and people would still think it looks great. The story is awesome, Arnold is great as the Terminator, Biehn is great as Reece, Hamilton is great as Conner.

    Wut? This is crazy talk, and you may have missed the point (other than the action) of Robocop
