I remember the ITV edit of Robocop. Two particular bits spring to mind - when Bob Morton looks into the camera (Robocop's vision) and says "You're gonna be one bad mother-crusher!" and when Robocop intervenes at a liquor store robbery, with the robber yelling "Why me! Why me!" or (in another version) "Fly me! Fly me!"

 

OMG! I wasn't crazy! Having taped Robocop off the TV and having watched it for years. I was surprised when on DVD the robber was shouting "FUCK ME!" As I always thought it was "Why Me?" I thought I was me going loopy.

Saw a movie a couple of weeks ago and in retrospect I've little idea why I sat through it. It starred Chris Pratt and Brendan Hines, more known for being on Lie To Me, and it involved them being sucked into an alternate reality where the whole world is like a campy, early 80's porn flick. On Lovefilm it is called something like American Hot Babes but its original title is Deep in the Valley. Even if you're curious, avoid avoid avoid.

I wondered for years why it was so outrageous that Jones once called the old man an "airhead".

I used to buy a comic in my early teens, cant for the life of me remember what it was - i think it may have been a Punisher comic, nothing elitist, just used to buy it from the local newsagent and inside they had a Robocop comic strip which used some of the TV edits to get around language issues.

 

Anyone else remember that? or know where i could find some of that artwork?

 

Edit: Found it. Fuck me, 1989. I was 8

Fucking hell, Stolen looks bloody awful doesn't it? Good idea for a film though. I think Neeson will be good in that role.

 

Steve Big Jobs will naturally bum this film.

 

I love Nicolas Cage and I'll definitely watch anything he's in, I wish he'd get more roles like Kick-Ass, Bad lieutenant or even Drive Angry though, his output has been worryingly straight to video looking for the last couple of years. Hopefully now he's nearly 50 he'll do more character roles and less middle aged dude with weird hair running around quasi action films. It doesn't look that bad though.

 

I still think Season of the Witch is an unapreciated gem.
