RoboCop, what a classic.

I remember this was the first movie I had ever seen with that dude Kurtwood Smith. You know him, he played Red on That 70's Show.

His best role ever, was as the sorrowful and somewhat twisted scientist Annorax on StarTrek Voyager (The Year of Hell).

RoboCop incidentally, was the third movie to actually scare the living shit out of me. We're talking seriously messed with me here. That scene where the van drives through the one dude who fell in the toxic sludge? Or the shotgun scene where they blow his hand off at the beginning? Nightmares for days and days...

The first two, if you are wondering, are probably somewhat suprising, and since I feel like going into it, I will:

1) Coming in at number one - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - I know I know, this isn't a horror movie, but keep in mind that I had just finished watching StarWars about a bazillion times and Han Solo was definitely my hero. When he gets tortured in cloud city and FROZEN! I walked out of the theatre in shock, I had no idea movies could be so disturbing (I was of course, only 8 when I saw it - for some reason, this movie was re-released in the early winter of '82, they just don't do that anymore).

2) A close second - The Terminator (1984) - I was 11, as it was the summer of '85 when it was rented for me as a way to provide entertainment "for the kid". Watched it in a scary, half built, badly lit basement of a friend of my dad's - pretty much all by myself - while the big people were busy upstairs. That relentless godam robot! When Sarah finally kills it in the machine press at the end I was finally able to breath again. Yep - caused brain damage for sure. I remember when I first heard about Terminator 2: Judgement day, I was actually scared to think of it.

So, as you can see, RoboCop pales as a third, but it still did the trick. Great film. Some of Paul Verhoven's best work (second best specifically; first in that category being Total Recall, with Show Girls, Basic Instinct and Starship Troopers being roughly equal for third - take your pick).

what - I give you all of that and nobody has a single thing to add ??

what gives ??
