An American Indian shot George Washington at point blank range. It's a mystery how he wasn't hit by it.

Wow... people still refer to Native Americans as Indians? I hate to go PC on your ass, but... wow.

According to a 1995 census, the majority of native Americans who had an actual preference referred to themselves as American Indians.

Even so, that was fifteen years ago.

Whatever. Bottom line, I haven't heard anyone refer to Native Americans as "Indians" outside of Western (Cowboy) media for a looooong time. Then again, my local community is heavily populated by East Indians and significantly fewer Natives, so that's probably a major factor.

Oh, so the bad guy is working for that corporate guy who was in charge of that failed robot thing at the beginning. That... kind of makes sense I suppose. I mean, it's doesn't contradict anything, but it doesn't explain anything either.

Oh shit. Corporate guy programmed Robocop to not be able to arrest him, and now he's getting his robot thing to kill Robocop.

Ha, that robot is shit. Robocop make walk like Frankenstein's monster, but at least he can traverse a staircase and a get up if he falls down. Who the hell thought that thing would be the ultimate in law enforcement?

Some dude just got melted with acid or something.

Lovely.

The bad guys got given massive guns in order to kill Robocop. Why did that guy go to the trouble of dumping scrap metal on him like it would be more effective than shooting him?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What the fuck is this?

A very awkward angle on a poorly acted shot.

No, it's some kind of horrible stop motion monstrosity. They could just blue screen the guy falling?

It was made for the military. Not law enforcement.

Also weird seeing bogemil being a dick and swearing a lot

Oh, well that makes sense. I'm sure in a military conflict it's a lot less likely to get knocked over.

I think in the lead up to the end they do mention using them in the police force to replace robocop but that idea is really stupid. That thing just doesn't work in an urban or enclosed environment.

Definitely one of my fave robots in a movie though.

Starting Robocop 2 in a minute.

It's starting with adverts and news reports again.

They approved those ED-209 things for deployment in cities? What the hell?

Damn. Detroit's a massive shithole now. I thought Robocop was supposed to eliminate crime?

Wow. Robocop's just out of a car that had been blown up twice and he isn't even scuffed. He also seems more robotic this time. More exaggerated robot movements.

And now he's stalking his old family. Creep.

That is the blackest mayor I've ever seen.

OCP are actually trying to make a Robocop 2. How fitting.

Oh this kid is awful.

...what the fuck was that? Was that supposed to be Elvis's skeleton? WHY IS THAT IN THIS FILM?

Oh wow. A big magnet. It was that simple huh? See, that's the problem with robots and cyborgs.
