they had all 3 Robocops the other night on Universal HD. The first one was classic. The next two were horrendous. Robocop 2 was filmed in Houston though, you can obviously tell. What were they thinking with the dumb story? I couldn't believe Frank Miller wrote it. I have no idea what the people were thinking in Robocop 3 with the Robocop saves the hood storyline. I feel Robocop needs a new start like how Batman Begins helped erase all the crappy Batmans after the first one. The special effects for Robocop back in the day where terrible, I imagine with the new technology today, they could make some super sweet Robocop movies. Bob McNair reminds me of the executive dude from OCP. (here's him with David Carr-bot)
Nice. I hear its in pre production but agree, the first one was pretty good (toxic guy being splattered on the windshield is a classic). Second wasnt that bad but certainly not that good. 3rd one was flat out stupid
RoboCop versus The Terminator (comic book) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_versus_The_Terminator_(comic_book) RoboCop versus The Terminator is a four-issue comic book crossover limited series published in 1992 by Dark Horse Comics. It was written by Frank Miller and drawn by Walt Simonson. Details that were cut out of both the scripts that Frank Miller wrote for RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, mainly the detail on RoboCop's brain, were used in the story. Using elements from both the RoboCop and Terminator universes, the comic book series puts its own spin on proceedings by having Skynet send three Terminators back in time to Detroit to protect RoboCop from a lone human soldier sent back to destroy him. Eventually discovering that the technology used to build him is partly responsible for the future development of Skynet, RoboCop soon sets upon himself to take down Skynet in the post-apocalyptic future single-handedly.

thats so funny that you say that. my friend and i had the exact same conversation where we were saying how cool it would be to make a remake with updated effects. on a side note, i saw robocop first when i was 9 because my dad was watching it and i was pretty scarred from the alex murphy execution scene, but now its become one of my favorite movies haha
DAMN IT. I missed it. This reminds me of how much fun my brothers and I make of the Famous changed-for-TV Movie Lines: TV: "For you!!!" Original: "F**k YOU...!!!" (a bad dude after RoboCop busts into the lab saying: "Come with me or there will be... trouble.") TV: "Just give me MY phone call." Original: "Just give me my g*d damn phone call." (when Clarence Boddicker is arrested and spits on the counter) TV: "Ladies, leave." Original: "B*tches, leave." (when Clarence Boddicker bursts into Bob Morton's apartment) these and others always make me laugh.
First Robocop was pretty awesome. I'm not against a second look at the franchise, but maybe this needs to go television, a la Bionic Woman. There's been a void in the near-future evil-corporation apocalypse crime drama genre since Dark Angel went bust. Evan
I dunno, Robocop had awesome effects for its day, and holds up pretty well today. The leg holster rocks
What was the last successful movie that had dark humor in it? A robocop remake would probably be more guns and gore and less substance that made the first one a classic.
There was a tv series in the late 90s then a miniseries several years later in 2000. The miniseries was pretty awful. The director of the original movie was thinking about casting the guy from the miniseries who was a major reason why it was awful for a fourth movie. However that was all before Sony started thinking about a remake.
