That guy is a boss fight in the Game Boy RoboCop game. You're in first person and Instead of shooting him in the dick through the lady's dress, you have to wait until he pokes his head out from behind her, at which point you can shoot him. Repeat a bunch of times because he has a lot of health. Don't hit the lady by accident, because then you lose health.

Video games are cool.

In the new Robocop video game you can shoot people in the dick and there's a death animation for it.

Peter Weller is a professor of Roman history now and gets mad if you ask him about RoboCop.

Frog, though, he's more than happy to wax poetic about, as any of us would be.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

No he loves talking about RoboCop, he hates if you're at a Roman history lecture in his class and ask him.about it or any other acting thing because he takes his work very seriously and he's there to teach history not discuss Naked Lunch.

Also he was the best guest on Fringe.

This surely must be less of an issue now? I can’t imagine the average kid going to college now has any clue who or what Robocop is, at least the original.

I don't know about Weller, but Greg Graffin apparently does this when he teaches natural science courses. Go super hard for the first couple of weeks to weed out the people only there to see the guy from Bad Religion, then chill after all those guys have dropped out.

Kevin Nash just cut a promo about being scarred by Deliverance and said that Jeff Jarrett has a "pretty mouth", which was censored, and is now threatening to powerbomb Jarrett straight to hell if Vince Russo doesn't come out to fight him. Insane hour of television.

You'd think you'd want to ask him about RoboCop 3 which he wasn't even in. Nancy Allen was only in it if they'd kill her character off.

Wasn't there an NWO beatdown segment where Kevin Nash tried to powerbomb Kidman, he gets out of it, and Nash just goes "...huh" and then one-shot kills him with a different move.

Tom Noonan might have enjoyed it on the basis that he got to be a weirdo for half a movie and then got to chill out and laugh at Petter Weller sweating in his suit while he was only a brain in a jar.

They could’ve had something with a war on drugs satire in 1990 but they hosed it up pretty badly by making “legalize it and use the tax revenue to save the city” the bad option presented by the bad guy to the mayor.

Also the suit was so constrictive it made his months of mime training useless.

In Buckaroo Banzai Peter Weller is a scientist, a rock star, a brain surgeon, a secret agent, a test pilot, an anime, and several other highly skilled professions I can't remember off the top of my head right now.

But I do remember that there was one other thing they wanted Banzai to do and Mister Weller turned it down because he thought it was just beyond the pale, completely unrealistic, and would have broken the narrative. It would have been impossible to believe, in his opinion.

The director had asked him, "Now Pete, what do you know about Frog?"
