The Big Picture: Ripoff Cop

[tzimize]

...

Asia...so fucking wierd...

I complain about Hollywood and the retardedness of a lot of todays blockbusters...but really...it could have been worse I guess

 

[heroicbob]

i was sure those hopping zombies were called kyonshi but it redirects to jiangshi on wikipedia so i guess i was wrong
dont know where i got the other name from

What, no mention of Robot Geisha, the world's greatest film?

Never knew they had a robocop inspired Metal Heroes. Neat.

Some Stray observations about the movies Bob mentioned:

- Doesn't the lady Robot Cop look a lot like that Yu-Gi-Oh! fusion card, Super Robolady? [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Robolady]It was literally the first thing that came to mind.
- Can I say that I smiled at the Metropolis reference of calling a robot movie, "I Love Maria"? That is brilliant. The Robot body in that movie even looks like the Machinenmensch [http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMaschinenmensch&ei=ji4EU-3DDa2yygGkj4CQBw&usg=AFQjCNE_8ywbNBWVY93u75u_AQCFjwj3Eg&sig2=5FOnKGEww2XUmrB2GwkbTw&bvm=bv.61535280,d.aWM] body, and that is awesome!

- I'm just happy to see the Beatleborgs get a visual nod, that made me happy.

Can I also mention it now that the commercial with Robocop , um, This one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pOoSe2K5DU] makes me happy?

I'm amazed at a lot of these movies. They look like masterpieces, and I'd love to watch a few of them. Great video, Bob!

Japan never disappoints when one is on the search for slightly to very cheesy movies.

ok, is it bad that during the Roboforce battle sequence, all I could think of was 'that's no zaku, m'boy, no zaku!'

[EDIT}

That big green robot in robo force looks a lot like a zaku from gundam. double rip off points for china.

Spoiler

sort of ninja'd me, but I'm still leaning more to it being a Gouf.

And as for catchy music, you should have played the Laser Blade theme.

great, having said that I'm now off to youtube

I'm not sure about the average ticket buyer but I know I didn't go to see the new Robocop because the black armor and the trailers made it seems like another studio attempting to make yet another attempt at a version of the Dark Knight. Really tired of films attempting to be like the Dark Knight so if the trailers and buzz words are about dark and gritty I'll just go watch something else.

It's why Guardians of the Galaxy had me sold with the trailer because it was attempting to sell itself on being like other films. A light fun romp in a budget action film, take my money now.

I wonder if Winspector is related to this.

 

[Reed Spacer]

Hey, that's nothing - I saw a mockbuster of Pacific Rim.

It was called...wait for it...Atlantic Rim.

I'm not making this shit up, kids.

Aw man, I have to find that Roboforce movie.

On a side note, looking into it caused me to rediscover a long lost toy line from my childhood.
Thanks Bob, because of you I'm looking back at fond memories of ... Robo Force [http://www.theoldrobots.com/maxxacc.html]

(I had the one simply named "Enemy")

 

[Sergey Sund]

Hahahaha, because when fighting vampires I want to give my robot killing machine human parts - aka access points for a vampire bite.
THEN it'd be a RoboVampire. Which would probably make more sense and a better movie.
There. Fixed it.

I also heard beam rifle sounds in that Hong Kong movie.
