That’s classic.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have to admit, old school Robo WAS dated, even when i saw the movie. He’s a slow ass robot. Just outrun him.
I’m waiting to see how this turns out. Harry Knowles has been following every little detail and done numerous set visits, and is adamant that while they’ve changed a lot, it’s still going to be an amazing movie.
Not to mention our understanding (and capabilities) of robots has increased since then, so it makes sense to reflect that. And they’re going to have to compete against Iron Man 3 around that time.
I’d probably walk out of the movie if I saw that… Don’t tread on my childhood.
That’s a dumb reason.
Guess what… So was the Terminator!
And just like the T-800, Robocop cannot be bargained with, he can’t be reasoned with, he doesn’t feel pity, remorse or fear. And he will not stop until you are dead.
As long as he can drive, you are fucked.
Just ask Clarence and his gang.
I bet if just one of those mooks in the warehouse ran away instead of trying to shoot Robo like the army of other morons, he would have lived long enough to become addicted to Nuke.
You totally miss the point & appeal of the original Robocop with statements like that. Those slow, Robotic movements, and the strong piston-like sound of his foot steps? That was all a fundamental part of the character’s presentation. It made him look & sound menacing, like a walking Tank! Which is pretty much what he was.
Furthermore, the build-up in his scenes were just so slick. The way he’d just calmly stroll out into the middle of a firefight with the soundtrack blaring, absorbing tons of bullets from baddies desperately scrambling to take him down before he drew his gun, and then proceeds to blast everyone in site? Now THAT is bad ass!
And good luck outrunning him when he has his bigass handgun, perfect aim, and zero problems putting a few bullets in your leg 
You know Iron Man is never shown sprinting around either, he mainly flys a lot. In those scenes where he is walking IM isn’t much faster than Robo was. Showing that the slow but menacing robot walk aesthetic of the 80’s still lives on today.
And these are two different properties with little in common. Highly doubt they’ll conflict.
beer gut man and doc chainsaw are two of my favorite comic heroes ever
I wish this was available for purchase:
Just put an “S” at the end and make it an acronym and we’re good to go.

you can’t outrun Robocop’s bullets…
and movie already sounds shitty. hopefully there will be a backlash that causes them to change it.
My science teacher in high school used to sound exactly like Big Boss, and when he’d do roll call I’d yell out “Dr Bad Vibes” or “Mizz Demeanor”
Meh, I’ll see how he does it. He mays still have those mechanical motions that the first Robo did so well. I’m more worried that they’re taking him out of Detroit and having him fight in the war. If it’s just a small part during his creation and testing, whatever. More action is more action.
But what if you’re on a motorcycle? Lets go in the lab and test this out:

^^ Ouch.
I hate the Transforming stuff. Makes it sound like he’ll look like an ordinary person half the time! Yeesh i know the actor has to have his face time, but this is taking it a bit far.
Sounds more like an armored anime hero(ex: Guyver) than Robocop.
So he’s going to be a metal hero similar to this?

Michael Keaton set to play OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars…
There is a glimmer of hope…
Just hope he doesn’t get his own transforming suit.
I’ll always remember seeing Robocop the year it came out on pirate VHS, I was 7. Combine that with the content (beyond being a stellar movie) and that’s probably why it had such a profound effect on me, and will always be my favourite movie of all time.
So with that in mind, my general reaction to the recent spate of Hollywood [S]gang-rapings[/S] reboots was always the same question - “Why the fuck would you want to do that?” This time though it’s about 10 times stronger.
Every time I see any snippet of information about this new project I want to choke someone. Then the question gets posed “Why are you so worried and angry? The writers and producers might do a really good job instead of violating the original.”
If they were able to bring something decent, they would bring an original story with original characters, in an original setting. Instead Robocop becomes Iron Man warmed over and learns to run, fly and perform roundhouse kicks thanks to iCop OS. Fuck these whores.
Next up: Breakfast Club starring Shia LeBouf.
Calling it right now. God help us all.

Iron Man repaint.
