I had to serve the Public Trust.
Comes with a cool story actually
What do you think? (Work In Progress)
I noticed this today watching RoboCop 2. When Dr. Faxx is reviewing death row inmates for the RoboCop 2 program, the names displayed on the computer screen are the last names of prominent comic creators.
This is likely a callback to the first RoboCop film in which most of the police officers were named after serial killers, or mass murderers.

Forgive the terrible shotgun play, just got lost in that memorable music for a sec.
Does anybody else remember this TV edit? I'm fairly positive it came out before the "airhead" edit because I've only seen this one once (maybe twice) and it was always "airhead" after that. If I didn't have the recording on VHS from back in the day I would've attributed it to the Mandela effect. I've always felt this was a better and funnier edit because, after all, what could possibly be worse than "bumbler"? Also, the mouth synchronizes a lot better than "airhead".
Robocop was the first time as a child I heard the term "motherfucker". I remember it clearly, in the UK it was either '90 or '91 - Robocop had it's UK TV premier. I came to school the next day and a particularly threatening Y10 called me a "blonde haired motherfucker" 😍
Amazing.
Got me thinking if RoboCop popularised the term "motherfucker".
As you can imagine, while 13:52 and at work it's quite hard to do the web research on that topic

I made YouTube Short from Robocop Rogue city. I want to know your opinion, did I nail it? Do I need to improve something? Thanks for your opinion😊

In Robocop 2 we see that OCP attempts to make more "robocops" but they look nothing like Murphy. Shouldn't Murphy have schematics of himself like a terminator would, why couldn't they just hook him up to a computer and download those files?
We all know Rouge City is the best, but other than that what is everyone's favorite or favorites? I like the first games for NES, Game Boy, and Arcade. As well as the second games for Arcade and Game Boy. RoboCop vs The Terminator on Genesis is awesome and makes me want to read the comics. The only RoboCop game I've played that I don't like is RoboCop 2 on NES.
German distributor Capelight will release 2 UHD Blu-ray sets (+ 1 Blu-ray Steelbook) on December 12th.
