When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What we did wrong on 'RoboCop,' we just did something new and didn't really take into account what the fans really loved about the original.
RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?'
'Chronicle' could have been a video-game movie. The original 'RoboCop' and the remake could have come from video games.
The original 'RoboCop' was X-rated, and then they had to cut it down so it became R-rated, and Verhoeven claimed that actually made the movie more violent, because it's what you don't see that actually scares you.
'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.
There are no movie references that I can think of in 'Robopocalypse.' However, there are tons of personal references. For example, the IP address that Lurker tracks actually goes back to the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied robotics.
I've been a fan for a long time, and it's a reason I wanted to be a part of it. Now I'm able to do the 'Robotech' movie, and it's something I grew up watching. To actually be on 'Robotech' was really an experience.
I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.
I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.
I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.
