Of all the ridiculous movies to remake

[abcdefz]

...ROBOCOP!?

Has that movie dated at all? Is that movie not pretty much perfect as is!?

This is fucking ridiculous.

[Tzar]

the rock... he has the chin and mouth for it but he ain't exactly pale like the old guy was.

[abcdefz]

He's all about family films now.

[camo]

Robocop: Yes please, on a recent view his rubber armour and the way it moved was doing my head in.

The Rock: Fuck no.

[paul jones]

you CAN'T re-make Robocop!

If anyone needs the death sentence it's these fucking people who re-make stuff.

[na§tee]

poor film to remake, yes, but i won't be hearing any dwayne johnson hatin' here, camo!

i actually think he is a really good comedic actor. um.

[camo]

But he'd make a super bulky, stupid looking Robocop and your right he is a good comedy actor so it would be weird seeing him all straight faced. Much like that guy from Van wilder playing serious roles now or even Jim Carrey.

[abcdefz]

He's dropped a lot of the bulk. He's in reinvention mode.

[camo]

Pic please!

That's a bit too far. I wouldn't want to have lost The Fly.

[adam_f]

I'd like to see a remake if only because Peter Weller was so awful in the original. He showed more emotion as a fucking robot than as the actual cop pre-death.

[abcdefz]

Weller was terrific in that.

The New Age, too. Crazy underrated actor.

[roosta]

that is retarded beyoned belief.

Hollywood has officially abandoned all hope of ever having an original idea.

[abcdefz]

Well, now that Speed Racer didn't work out...

[ToucanSpam]

how about some links, az?


Also, Robocop sucks.

[bigblu89]

A Robocop remake???

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[abcdefz]

how about some links, az?




It's in pre-production, so there's not a lot (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37033).

[ToucanSpam]

If theyre going to reboot a shitty cop franchaise, why not Police Academy?

[roosta]

how about some links, az?


Also, Robocop sucks.

It really, really doesn't.

Such a great film.

[Dorothy Wood]

ya, the rock has been more slender for a couple of years now. he's still big, but not huge. http://img.timeinc.net/people/i/2006/startracks/060821/dwayne_johnson.jpg

[ToucanSpam]

How is Robocop awsome? Justify this claim.

[abcdefz]

I think the haters should go first, since it's rightly regarded as a classic.

[Lex Diamonds]

How is Robocop awsome? Justify this claim.RoboCop is 50 times the man you'll ever be, and he's half-robot.

Figure THAT one out, Poindexter. :cool:

[paul jones]

Who remembers the Robocop game on the C64?

I had it but didn't play it much

[abcdefz]

Not me.

I didn't have many games for the C64 -- used it almost entirely as a word processor.

I had a text-based adventure game that was absolutely awful, though. I don't think I ever got more than two moves in.

[paul jones]

fuck,they were depressing

[abcdefz]

Most of the time the tape drive sucked, anyway.

You know what? I just realized I had a C20 at that point. I got a C64 later for the word processor, because I had a floppy drive for that one.
That's right.

C20! ahhhh those were the days

[abcdefz]

Hey -- one of my friends had a TRS-80 with a thermal printer.

How 'bout that?

I'll do a swap for my PS3,except I haven't bought a PS3 yet

[mate_spawn_die]

90% of the major motion pictures coming out are either remakes or a marvel superhero. hollywood has no original ideas at all. it's sad.

what really pisses me off is someone thinks they can remake susperia... what a fuckin' joke that will be.

[taquitos]

this explains why it's been on tv a bunch lately.

[roosta]

How is Robocop awsome? Justify this claim.

Well...I never said it was awesome. I said it was a great film.

It had the perfect blend of action, black comedy and social commentary. It has a very clever script, and great action.

[bigblu89]

And Clarence Boddicker was pretty bad ass before he started calling everone a dumbass on That 70's Show.

[camo]

They had a severely edition version once on British t.v (ITV). It was the first time I hear the phrase 'mutha-funster'.

It was edited by chimps too (n)

haha..yeah, that version is brilliant

instead of "fuck me!" when the gas-station stick-up dude sees Robo he says "why me!"

and when Dick Jones says "once I even called him asshole" it becomes "once I ever called him -INSERT IMPERSONATED VOICE HERE - AIRHEAD"

[adam_f]

Nothing is as bad as Die Hard 2 when it's on TV. "Yippe-ki-yay motherfucker" becomes "Yippe-ki-yay MISTER FALCON!"

[abcdefz]

And Clarence Boddicker was pretty bad ass before he started calling everone a dumbass on That 70's Show.



He was amazing in Robocop. Miguel Ferrer, too, before he got all blown to shit.

[camo]

it needs to be found (y)

Also props to the melting man scene, that was notorious amongst kids in school. You weren't cool unless you had seen it.

[abcdefz]

You've really gotta see the director's cut, if you haven't already. The meting scene and the Ed 209 scene were tamed down for the R-rated version.

[camo]

I look it up. Which ED209 scene it that?

[abcdefz]

The demonstration scene in the board room.

"You have ten seconds to comply..."

[camo]

thats a pretty violent scene uncut.

BTW have you seen the new hulk film yet? I'd love to hear your review when you do, seeing as your the only other person I know who gave ang props for his effort. I'm a huge hulk fan.

[abcdefz]

I think it opens tomorrow. Still not sure if I want to see it.

Did you like Ang's version? I thought it was a failure, but the parts of it that worked were fantastic.

[camo]

Yeah we've both mentioned about the awesome visual editing (y)

I'm biased but I like it apart from the dog scene. I think the new one is going to be one big 'dog scene'.

[abcdefz]

(y)

I still can't believe he gets shit for that. It was perfect.

[Pres Zount]

If theyre going to reboot a shitty cop franchaise, why not Police Academy?

Uhh, because I think it's pretty obvious that 'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow' ended the franchise on such a perfect high.

[abcdefz]

Good Lord, Zount -- you know the name?

[hpdrifter]

I think Eddie Murphy is going to make another Beverly Hills Cop.

Also, I have never seen Robocop.

[BangkokB]

I'm still waiting for the sequel to Masters of the Universe which came out probably 15 years ago but the ending promised a sequel

I just want to see TrapJaw in Live Action Wrecking Shop

[pshabi]

And Clarence Boddicker was pretty bad ass before he started calling everone a dumbass on That 70's Show.

And then he became completely badass. Maybe my foot in your ass would help shed some light on the subject?

Red Foreman is fucking hilarious.

[Tzar]

whoa, hey now, i was kidding about the rock. physically, i reckon he would do it good. like i said, the chin+mouth and his figure. his voice wouldn't be too bad either...

actually, yeah.. pick the rock (y)

[silence7]

Movie re-makes already in the works....

You can go here (http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/15211/38_planned_movie_remakes_you_didnt_know_about.html ) and see descriptions... Makes me sad, I can never watch re-makes of movies I love because it f-cks up the good memories I have attached to them.

Bold ones I definitely DO NOT want to see re-made, as I don't think they'll ever do as good a job as was originally done.

...ROBOCOP!? Is that movie not pretty much perfect as is!?


lol

[DIGI]

Good lord! I haven't thought about the C64 in forever. I had some Bruce Lee game, I remember. It kicked ass.
