figured id talk about one of my all time fave films here: Robocop. Im a fan of the trilogy, but Im especially fond of the 1st 2 films in the series.

Paul Verhoeven is a mastermind genius in filmmaking, Irvin Kershner directed the 2nd one (of Empire Strikes Back fame). Its hard to believe the 1st film was shot in the summer of 1986, almost a quarter century ago.

The first film was shot in Dallas, the second one Houston, and the third in Atlanta. Im finally going to head into Dallas next week to visit a lot of the different sites that were used in the 1986 film, especially Dallas City Hall located at 1500 Marilla Street. This building served as OCP headquarters in the film and a matte painting was used to make the building seem taller than it really was.

Theres rumor and buzz on the web of a possible new entry to the Robocop saga, it could be either a new sequel or a reboot to the series. Im hoping its not the latter as I am seldom impressed with film reboots.

who could forget about this classic scene from the first film, i think its the funniest part of the whole film.
