Robocop 3 was the only, and i mean only, VHS my parents didn't bother to pack before we moved to Texas. After I watched it and the only choice for entertainment was to watch it again...i still didn't.

Someone bought it for me on VHS, and movies were more expensive back then. You made do with what you had. And Robocop 3 isn't the worst film I've seen, it's at least watchable.

That's Cain in Robocop 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z392_rf26HY My favorite subtle movie moment in Robocop 2 is comic book writer/artist Frank Miller (of The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City fame) is the drug manufacturer that gives Cain the Purple Haze. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHST6w3A8es

Coming off the best superhero movie ever in Superman 3 (I was young and didn’t know better) I can’t even accurately describe the betrayal I felt from Superman 4. It might have been the first time I ever felt offended at something.

Kramdar posted:Why would you ever re-watch RoboCop 3. When I'm working from home, I like to have a movie on in the background as distraction. If I'm under a tight deadline, I play Robocop 1, 2 and 3 as incentive to finish working inside of the first two movies. If I'm in a super hurry, I do the same with Starship Troopers. Do you know how much you can get done if the alternative to meeting a deadline is watching Starship Troopers 2?

Reeve pushed really hard for the story to be about Superman doing something about all the nukes. Golan and Globus financed the movie and shot it in the UK because it was super cheap and their solution to making Milton Keynes look like Metropolis was to place US-style fire hydrants randomly in shots: The budget was slashed in half during production which goes some way towards explaining why the film turned out as lovely as it did, and why so many effects shots got reused and why Superman uses his special "wall repairing vision power" to fix the Great Wall of China. He was supposed to rebuild it by hand at super speed but the budget didn't cover that so they just made up some dumb poo poo and called it a day.

I do remember being really disappointed in some of the effects shots. His X-ray vision looked much jankier than any of the prior movies. Some of the back story of Superman's productions are bananas: quote:Casting of Superman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(1978_film) Charles Bronson's Superman would have been dark.

Uh, excuse me, Golden Age Superman would just use his heat vision to melt the wall around the damage, melting it to cover the hole.

Pope Corky the IX posted:For some reason that reminded me of the third Robocop where, after the samurai robot cuts off Murphy's arm with a sword, you can clearly see it in a black sleeve just tied behind his back throughout the rest of the scene. Like it's right loving there. I need to find a clip. Same with Seven where the smackhead had his arm cut off but it's right there, laying under the prosthetic. Like he didn't even try and tuck it behind his back at all.

Part of the reason he agreed to do it was because the producers agreed to finance another movie (Street Smart) that Reeve actually wanted to get made. Android Apocalypse posted:That's Cain in Robocop 2. Miller worked on the script for Robocop 2 but I believe they didn't actually use a lot of what he came up with. His version did eventually see life in a comic book adaptation.

Did it have Robocop protecting a prostitute with a heart of gold from a Muslim rapist who had a woman with swastika pasties as a sidekick?

In S T A L K E R by tarkovsky Around 50:05 https://youtu.be/Kgocncu6MBw I implore you to look at the clip before despoilering, in there is this scene that tracks up to a busted car, and peers through the window, frames the characters. But there is a bit of rubble that looks a bit like a gun, The whole thing has a mood of distrustworthyness and it sorta comes out of nowhere and makes you think there is an armed character stalking them. It just caught me off guard and I was suckered into the movie

Dude that is not rubble and you're absolutely supposed to notice it. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but it's the entire point of the shot

Ya, it's a German MG-34, which as a Russian movie company you probably could get cheap as props by digging them up out of the ground.

But it's totally and undeniably there makes it a favourite moment ElBrak posted:Ya, it's a German MG-34, which as a Russian movie company you probably could get cheap as props by digging them up out of the ground. I meant rubble in the sense that it isn't a manned machine gun and for intents and purposes it might aswell be a pipe that was dug up, and that I may or may not have seen it in a less than optimal quality first time round Jestery has a new favorite as of 22:44 on Sep 13, 2019 |

Wasn’t there a body next to the machine gun so it’s technically manned? The YouTube copy is only subtitled in Spanish so I can follow the action at a preschool level at best.

Ya, that whole scene is them in the middle of the Military's first response to the zone, which was sending a bunch of soldiers in to see what was up. Obviously they all died horribly. But they did mark some of the anomalies, so mission success.
