--- Quote ---I agree about the eyes thing... showing his eyes is a big mistake. The whole visor reveal thing was symbolic.... You are supposed to think of him as a piece of hardware in the beginning and as the movie progresses his humanity leaks out, eventually leading to the big reveal whish is basically a way of shouting "there's a guy in there" at the audience. And in the subsequent films this theme continues.... in vulnerable and emotional scenes his visor is off... while he's shooting up bad guys it's on, because he's all business.
I'm pretty sure you can't make a good Robocop film pg-13 either.... case in point...Robocop 3 was pg-13.
Oh and related news Detroit is getting a 10 foot tall Robocop statue! About time I say.. afterall, philly has rocky!

Good job HC, my sentiments exactly. God Robocop 3 was such a terrible movie, there are so many mistakes its embarrassing. You cant make Robo PG-13 and be serious. I dont get hollywood, they want to cater to a bigger audience by making it PG-13, but they would make more money if it was R, cause the fan base is all old now. Like when they made AvP, it was PG-13. Granted that movie couldnt have been good even if it was R, but still.
Did they secure the funding for it?! Last I heard they got 50k from someone. I heard they were taking down the rocky statue in philly cause someone was bitching about it. :-[

I don't agree with this. The lower part of his face was exposed through the whole movie. Who didn't realize it was a guy in there? Isn't it a jolt on the head or something that makes him start to get pieces of his human memories back?
Cool movie, but its probably been almost 10 years since I've seen it.

I guess my interpretation was that most people didn't know that Robocop was once human unless they were part of the OCP Robocop project, but people assumed he was just designed to look human like.

:-[ People like to ruin everything awesome like that. A Robocop statue would be awesome in Detroit. I guess I could accept an Eddie Murphy From Beverly Hills Cop or Clint Eastwood with Rifle from Gran Torino as a second place statue for Detroit. ;D
Bootay:
HC, Mike and Vigo: I agree with everything said. I love Robocop as well. Part 2 was tolerable. 3?...ick. I have the series too but never watched it. I'm sure it's bad.
I live in Detroit and the Robocop statue rumor has been around for a few years. Not sure if it will really happen or if it's even real to be honest. Detroit is so poor and corrupt, this is the last thing the city needs to spend their money on. Half the city is still burnt down from the riots.
Don't get me wrong. A Robocop statue would be cool.
ahofle:
Hollywood has a cancer...the cancer is 'remakes'...

A bunch of the scenes were filmed in a building my dad used to work in (Renaissance Tower). A thin connection to be sure, but I will take any connection to Robocop that I can get. ;D

Ewwwww Dallas
