Comments
"You know it's futuristic when they have the glowing trashcans" That killed me! πππ Glad you enjoyed this, knowing the level of gore involved, I wasn't sure you'd like it. There are more films in the series, but you've seen by far the best one here. Almost everything after this just dumps on the legacy - There were two direct sequels, the third one I believe was rated PG?!? There were four direct to VHS/DVD movies that were awful, a TV series where Robo is a pacifist... And I remember there even being a kids cartoon π Seriously, I'd avoid the lot. Paul Verhoeven was not involved in any of it past the first film, and I don't think anyone else really understood his vision. It's satire, straight down the middle, and that appeared to get lost with the follow-ups, which were more focused around action and special effects (which, amazingly, didn't even hold up as well as the effects in the original!). If you're looking for more films in this style, Verhoeven directed Total Recall (which got a reboot a few years ago, and again didn't match up to the original) and Starship Troopers (which got several sequels, and... You can probably guess what they were like! π )

2024-11-14 00:30:57 +0000 UTCHey V not exactly related to this video in particular, but you've made a few subtle comments that might suggest you have a rough past. I know this is supposed to be a fun venting thing for you, but I think all of us would love to get to know you more and hear your story. Only if you want to tell it of course. Just mean to say I think we're all hear to listen if it would ever help

2023-11-26 15:11:19 +0000 UTCLovely reaction V thank you. I think what makes me cry the most is how little things have changed since this movie came out. The news "Give us 3 minutes and we'll give you the world." sounds an awful lot like people getting their news from TicToc, Facebook and so forth. Oh well. Hey V Robocop 2 is worth a watch.

2023-11-23 03:57:35 +0000 UTCThiswas a fun watch, you had me cracking up some parts there. It is crazy and a bit depressing how theres a bunch of corporate guys sitting at a meeting talking about ways to make prisons ,healthcare, and space exploration for profit, and cut to 2023 where we live in a world where prisons , hospitals , and space exploration are all for profit with corruption running rampant now. Great movie though

2023-11-23 01:07:28 +0000 UTCThis is a fun film. It is super dark but the comedy is part of what makes it dark. A lot of the joke news reports were linked to current events, Apartheid South Africa were building nukes, there was a Star Wars program (but no space lasers), the two presidents that were killed would have been Nixon and Reagan. The hostage situation at City Hall is a reference to Dan White who murdered the mayor of San Francisco and a prominent gay rights activist. Detroit and many other American cities were being deliberately gutted by corporations to make money and destroy the unions and communities. Jones talks about for profit hospitals and prisons with for profit police being the next step, this is now a common thing with private security guards and surveillance companies being big business. My opinion on cops going on strike is that they always have to balance the threat that people will find out how little they actually do with their desire for more money so itβs not likely.

2023-11-22 12:21:15 +0000 UTCRobocops Director Paul Verhoven Made two other Scifi movies that are classics: "Total Recall" (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Starship Troopers" (1997) which are both amazing and love to see you react to both of them. But since you are now initiated into 1980's Sci-Fi action, I would like to press you to react to "Aliens" (1986). Continue to follow Sigourney Weaver's Ripley with James Cameron writing and directing this one. And I would like to see you watching "2010 - the year we make contact." It is an underrated sequel that try's to make some sense of what happened in 2001. Its a great movie with a beautiful ending. [I am of course under the impression that you have seen "2001 a space odyssey" before, if not you should definitely see that one first.]

2023-11-21 21:45:01 +0000 UTCGunshot wounds in older movies look real because they're just little pouches of fake blood under the clothes that are rigged to explode. They call em "squibs". The guy getting blown away by ED-209 is still one of the craziest squib shots on film.

2023-11-21 20:56:06 +0000 UTCRobocop is a special movie for the role it played at the time. I can understand that people dont like it when they watch it for the first time now, but it was a great project that took risks and did some insane stuff. I like it but I dont love it.

2023-11-21 19:46:47 +0000 UTClol I love Vee's opening here. The meme "We can rebuild him, we have the technology" is from the television series The Six-Million Dollar Man, yes it's a cheesy show π He gets one bionic arm so he can lift a car over his head... but his spine isn't bionic though. Later they made Bionic Woman which was more better, mo' betta.

2023-11-21 12:24:02 +0000 UTCKurtwood Smith (Red Foreman) actually met his wife during the filming of this movie. When he puts the gum out on the secretary's name plate while flirting with the secretary, that secretary actress went on to be his wife. Also I never got why they would program the ED-209 robot to scream like a pig when it falls over. What's the purpose of programming it to do that? Like why would the killer robot have a panicky scream? Anyway this movie rocks!

2023-11-21 03:03:36 +0000 UTCfor cops striking it's a tough call for me. I think people should get paid what they're worth but they also serve a vital function, same for doctors & nurses. If they aren't doing there job people could use their lives so While I would side with the cops goal I wouldn't support the striking, but I also wouldn't stop them from doing it

2023-11-21 02:16:00 +0000 UTCIf that's what I think it is, I just saw it for the first time a couple days ago. It was insane! LOL

2023-11-21 00:17:32 +0000 UTCNow do a reaction to "Our Robocop Scene 27". Our Robocop was a fan-made remake that's basically a "scene for scene" remake. Scene 27 is one of the finest pieces of art ever made.

2023-11-21 00:15:14 +0000 UTCOh, cool. My pal Nancy plays Officer Lewis in this. She's so good. You should check her out in Blowout with John Travolta.

2023-11-20 23:32:57 +0000 UTCWow this is so random that's why we love and adore you Vicky you hit us with these surprises π«Ά heading to sleep but will watch this sometime this week π I'm hyped

2023-11-20 23:12:20 +0000 UTC"I'd buy that for a dollar!!!" This has been one of those quotes that my sister have been tossing around for years after seeing this.

2023-11-20 22:50:43 +0000 UTCVEE speaking of sci-fi, have you seen "The Abyss"? One of James Cameron's finest movies ever made. Made in 1989 being remastered in 4k this December and coming to streaming. This movie was ahead of its time as it was filmed actually under water with the cast and crew. They gutted an old Nuclear power plant and turned it into their under water set for the film.
James Hawkins
2023-11-20 22:50:14 +0000 UTCWoohoo! One of my favorites. Now you know where Colossus stole the "Come quietly or there will be trouble" line in Deadpool 2.
