----------------------------------- SengYew_83 Thu Jan 11, 2007 1:20 am RoboFan... for how many years? ----------------------------------- 16 years! First movie was Robocop 2! Watched the Marvel animated series and fell in love with it. Didn't get to watch the first movie till I was 16 (abt 7 years ago...). And the rest is history... :lol: What about the rest of you? :P ----------------------------------- * * * * * Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:47 am ----------------------------------- ok, let me make numbers...i saw the 1st one soooooo many times even being a boy, i remember i covered my eyes when murphy died, i always did. so... the numbers say... 15 years!!!!!!1 and counting... ----------------------------------- Justice Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:57 am ----------------------------------- I think for me it has to be 10+ years. Since I saw it when I was in highschool, so I could not have been older than 15. And since I am 25 now, hence 10+ years. ----------------------------------- Yarbles Thu Jan 11, 2007 1:52 pm ----------------------------------- I remember seeing Robo 1 on video shortly after it was released, I will never forget seeing that film for the first time. I was 7 or 8, which makes the year 1988. That makes me a fan for 19 out of my 26 years and counting. That's 3/4 of my life man. ----------------------------------- SiR-ROUND Thu Jan 11, 2007 2:39 pm ----------------------------------- '87 old skool Robofan... So 20 freakin' years now... 8) ----------------------------------- Mephisto Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:05 pm ----------------------------------- Since 87' as well. About 20 years for me also. RoboCop and the Terminator were among my favorite things...and they still are. ----------------------------------- SiR-ROUND Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:57 pm ----------------------------------- Hail to that baby... :D ----------------------------------- nogga_nootch Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:07 pm ----------------------------------- 92 i think it was, i actually saw the second one first on a pirate video the year it was released, and what with only being ten i had to wait till my brother got hold of a copy of the first one. ----------------------------------- Josh Thu Jan 11, 2007 10:36 pm ----------------------------------- When I was four so nearly 13 years. ----------------------------------- CAIN MKII Fri Jan 12, 2007 9:29 am ----------------------------------- 20 years ago, when I discovered robocop at the theater. It came out of the blue and I was completly shocked by the FX. I always been a robot fan. Before, only the terminator gave me this thrill. ----------------------------------- roboben Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:03 pm ----------------------------------- Dear all, Actually I started with the cartoon first, then my cousin told me that the cartoon was actually based on a movie. In around 1990, when the movie was aired in TV, I recorded it, I LOVED IT!!! After watching like 50+ times of the video tape, I went to rent the Laser Disc and see the more violent version. Roboben ----------------------------------- Burnout Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- I dont even remember the first time I saw RObocop.......My dad had a poorly dubbed version from a Blockbuster tape back in the 80's when video was the new big thing. I would always beg to have him pop it into our giant silver top loading VCR machine and then watch it over and over again! I may have been 4......That would make it 1988. ----------------------------------- Parkan2005 Fri Jan 19, 2007 7:50 pm ----------------------------------- From 1993 i was a fan of Robocop,when i was in kindergarden.My first part of Robocop what i saw was a second part. ----------------------------------- Nika Silwerra Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:33 pm ----------------------------------- heh so oki .. the thing that I am a Robocop fan is fault of my brother !! the first time when I saw the Robocop was in year 1992 ( on a german TV channel Pro 7 ) ahh I was innocent girl and I first time saw the Robocop woaaw it was very impressive !! but I am a true fan since 1996 when I saw again the film and again with my brother !! :mrgreen: ----------------------------------- DJR2096 Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:17 pm ----------------------------------- First pic, first love. then came the movie. loved him since 1987. ----------------------------------- MurphysGal Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:01 am ----------------------------------- 18 years, ever since i was 4 years old, and i'm 22 this year ----------------------------------- * * * * * Tue Feb 27, 2007 1:11 am ----------------------------------- 20 years (this year) and a couple days! hehehehe!

I've been hooked ever since. ----------------------------------- Sean_001 Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:47 am ----------------------------------- Me, HBO 1987. Back when movies were released on pay channels before VHS. 20 years all the way. I'll always associate the smell of tuna casarole with my first viewing of RoboCop. In fact, on that fateful day on the 20th year, I'm gonna have tuna Casarole (brought to me by Tuna Helper and the Helping Hand) and watch the original release of RoboCop, followed by the Director's cut of RoboCop and follow it by the Cartoon series from Marvel, then for fun, RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, then the Pilot episode of RoboCop the Series. But before all that, I'll be getting my RoboCop tatoo that I promised myself. Yes, this summer will be special for me. ----Sean ----------------------------------- ShockDingo Sun Mar 04, 2007 4:00 am ----------------------------------- 14 years man, I saw Robo on tv and my mom taped it for me. I was always worried when robo got hurt, so she recorded over the difficult parts :lol:. (I was a chicken, but Alines, and survival horror movies fixed that) I still treasure and watch that tape every so often, one of the reasons was how they censored the profanity; they actually had the actors record alternate lines, usually in my experience the tv versions would usually just have things silenced out. ----------------------------------- murphy38 Sun Mar 04, 2007 11:42 pm ----------------------------------- :mrgreen: Hi my friends! :mrgreen: many thanks for the pretty funny story about your first contact with robo!!!! thank you :mrgreen: :wink: ----------------------------------- SengYew_83 Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:59 am ----------------------------------- Alright guys, let's add to this conversation. How about your FIRST robo possession, and when? It can be anything: your first robo toy, first VHS or first DVD... :D Mine was the Marvel Robocop toy along with his Robo-1 car, again waaaay back in 1989.... unfortunately, lost the helmet AND his Auto-9, and broke my Robo-1... :( ----------------------------------- anticlaus Thu Mar 08, 2007 7:52 pm ----------------------------------- same here... fan since inception. spent 5 years trying to make my own action figure when i first saw it. ----------------------------------- SiR-ROUND Thu Mar 08, 2007 9:03 pm ----------------------------------- I actually didn't have anything Robo eventhough I saw the flick in cinema. Didn't know there where toys. Years later my sister had a boyfriend that was a crazy KISS and SW collector and he heard about me being fan of Robocop. He arranged a cardboard cutout for me from his local videorental. I just recently found out it's not Weller... But heck I love it anyway! My first toys are some Kenner figures and the Kenner ED209. Also got them form the sister's ex. Like 10-15 years ago. ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Sat Mar 10, 2007 6:24 am ----------------------------------- I saw it when i was just about 3 (scarred the hell out of me) so about 12 years ----------------------------------- Josh Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:13 pm ----------------------------------- My first toy was the Toy Island series figure of Robo with the removable panels, helmet, and a coloured inside workings. Plus I got the cruiser aswell. I no longer have that toy, the arm broke off and the parts were missing so I got rid of it which I regret (the great Robo-Purge...). I still have the cruiser though, but I broke the door and spoiler off. Adding to that I decided to give it a battle damaged look to make it match. The damage in question was scratches and a screwdriver through the windshield. Good times... ----------------------------------- ShockDingo Sun Mar 11, 2007 2:52 am ----------------------------------- As for toys, I had the old marvel figures and vehicles, but I could never find one of Robo (just the supporting cast) When I moved to America, one of the first toys I got was the delux Robocop; it was was the one that would have the light up mouth when talking. It also came with the auto 9 and the gun arm. I still love that thing. :) ----------------------------------- murphy38 Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:36 pm ----------------------------------- my first figure of robocop was a keys chain after I have had appears it kenner ultra police force & after all those of the series robocop!! here!! after & to be continue....................................... :lol: ----------------------------------- SiR-ROUND Sun Mar 11, 2007 7:46 pm ----------------------------------- Do you have those keychains?

I thought the movie was awesome and I really loved it a lot. My mom bought me most of the Kenner toys the following Christmas so the toys were my first piece of "Robo Merchandise." ----------------------------------- murphy38 Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:03 pm ----------------------------------- :mrgreen: Hi sean_shane_murphy, welcome to RA's my friend, thanks for the nice story :wink: ----------------------------------- * * * * * Tue Apr 03, 2007 7:03 am ----------------------------------- :mrgreen: Hi sean_shane_murphy, welcome to RA's my friend, thanks for the nice story :wink: No problem.

Reed Sun Jun 17, 2007 9:01 pm ----------------------------------- I was probably 5 or 6 (1993-94) when I saw the first Robocop at my cousins house. His parents had taped it from TV. I loved it instantly, Robo was so cool! Though I almost became sick when Murphy died everytime I saw it.. Always been a fan of robots and masked superheroes and Robocop was both!! Then a couple of years later, guess I was 9 or 10, the second one came from TV. Taped it, got sick from the "Murphy stripped to pieces" scene and was SHIT afraid of Robocain, and finally Robo 3 when it was released on VHS. Ofcourse I used to watch the series with my dad. I remember missing an episode once and just sitting in my room the rest of the night, really bummed out. :D Born 1988 and seeing Robo1 in 93-94, guess it makes me a 13-14 year old fan! ----------------------------------- Fiwhiz Thu Jul 17, 2008 7:45 pm ----------------------------------- i have Been a Fan for about 20 years my Cousin and I use to watch the movies no stop when we were children my uncle recorded them off HBO lol.I remember we use to play alot pretending we were at OCP because the building we lived at was a 8 story tower and the elevators were big so we always Played Robocop :-) To this day i collect Robocop Items and Still watch the movies and play the games daily.

I like robots and especially RoboCop! I think i was 6 or 7 years old when i saw RoboCop on Belgian TV. Now i'm 25 and really looking forward to see the new RoboCop movie. Also looking forward to have part 2 of RoboCop The Series. Here in Belgium they bring it out in 2 times. Part 1: http://www.fastweb.be/billybop/REVIEWS/Robocop/RobocopSeries.jpg Part 2: http://images.frs.nl/b/b9/aa6/5410504072192.jpg ----------------------------------- protozoan Wed Aug 27, 2008 5:30 am ----------------------------------- been a fan of robocop since 1988 when i seen it on video when it came out. i was 9. my brother in law let me watch it when my sister wasn't around and after that i talked my dad into hiring it and from then on i would try to sneakily rent it from the video shop hoping they wouldn't notice the rating on it. seen robocop 2 in the theatres in 1990 when i was 11 and it completely blew me away. i loved the first movie but became obsessed with the second. still am!! after the first one everything was ed209. after the second it was all about robocain. still think its an amazing creation! i remember when robocop 2 came out on video it was really underplayed and i never knew why. it may as well have been a b-movie coming out in the video shop. and they made the rating higher so i had to struggle to hire it out again. but i liked that! made it seem like a search for the holy grail heh heh. then robocop 3 came out at the theatres in 1993 when i was 14. i enjoyed it but it didn't have anything on the first 2. plus there was no bigger badder evil robot! just a silly ninja who started off cool but turned into a turkey. i was annoyed that they broke the pattern of robo having to face a bigger enemy each time. i thought it was going to be like a ray harryhausen type thing. oh well, pretty hard to top robocain for me, anyway. ----------------------------------- RoboCop3 Wed Aug 27, 2008 5:42 pm ----------------------------------- I've been a RoboCop fan since 2003 when I first saw it on encore. I was nine then. I just recently rewatched all three. Robo3 needs to be remade. My dad and I were watching it the other day and YIKES! ----------------------------------- DoktorNo Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:22 pm ----------------------------------- First I wached Robocop 2 on VHS when I have 10 years - my parents weren't happy, cause it was too violent for me. But I watched R#1 two years ago, and since then I became a fan of it. :) ----------------------------------- Iron_Justice80 Wed Sep 24, 2008 6:33 pm ----------------------------------- I remember seeing the trailer for Robocop attached to Spaceballs in the theatre. I was so excited i bothered my dad from that day on to see it. So I remember when it did come out in theatres here in the US in 1987 ( i was 7 years old) and my dad took me to see it and it was sooo cool. I remember when blockbuster had it for rent about 10 months later or so and i went in and they asked do you want it on VHS or BETA..lol Great memories. GO ROBO! ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Thu Sep 25, 2008 12:31 am ----------------------------------- ^ You watched RoboCop AND Spaceballs in the theater? I hate you and love you at the same time. :b ----------------------------------- Iron_Justice80 Thu Sep 25, 2008 1:43 am ----------------------------------- Yeah I was pretty young..all of about 7 I believe Spaceballs and robocop came out the same year..1987. But i remember everything. I remember the robocop cardboard standup in the lobby and the teaser trailer that they played. I believe there was also a teaser for Masters of the Universe..but I may be wrong. ----------------------------------- RoboFan_93 Thu Sep 25, 2008 7:22 pm ----------------------------------- ^ You watched RoboCop AND Spaceballs in the theater? I hate you and love you at the same time. :b I tell that to my brother all the time! He's seen RoboCop, Batman and Godzilla vs Biolantte in the theater. I'm not sure about R2. Lucky guy! It really pays off to be born in the 80s... ----------------------------------- Iron_Justice80 Fri Sep 26, 2008 12:55 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah it did. I was born in 1980. Seen alot of great movies in the theatres. I was corrupted at a very young age when my uncle took me to see terminator (the first one) when i was 4, sure i had nightmares but it was worth it. I will run downa list of the movies i seen in the theatre's back in the 80's: Aliens, Terminator, back to the future 1 2 and 3, Batman, crocodile dundee, darkman, robocop 1 2 and 3, spaceballs, return of the jedi (hardly remember it since i was so young), goonies, TMNT 1, short circuit, a couple of the police academy movies, highlander...and many many more i cant remember at this time..lol ----------------------------------- protozoan Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:52 am ----------------------------------- me and my friend saw robocop 2 in the movies in the middle of the day when we were 10 and were so blown away we spent our bus money to see it again straight after and walked home. 3 hour walk and all we talked about was robocop 2 all the way back. ----------------------------------- RoboFan_93 Sun Oct 05, 2008 4:44 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah it did. I was born in 1980. Seen alot of great movies in the theatres. I was corrupted at a very young age when my uncle took me to see terminator (the first one) when i was 4, sure i had nightmares but it was worth it. I will run downa list of the movies i seen in the theatre's back in the 80's: Aliens, Terminator, back to the future 1 2 and 3, Batman, crocodile dundee, darkman, robocop 1 2 and 3, spaceballs, return of the jedi (hardly remember it since i was so young), goonies, TMNT 1, short circuit, a couple of the police academy movies, highlander...and many many more i cant remember at this time..lol Darkman and TMNT weren't in the 80s, but still, early 90s. I was "corrupted" too. I watched R1 and 2 when I was 3 years old. I used to go to kindergarden and tell the kids about the violence and stuff and the teacher told me not to talk about those movies, cuz they weren't for kids. ----------------------------------- Clarence Boddicker II Mon Nov 03, 2008 6:47 pm ----------------------------------- Saw it on Cable in 1988. Hooked ever since...wanted a 6000 SUX ! Still do. ----------------------------------- KidGoesWild Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:23 am ----------------------------------- Saw the first movie in 89 and loved it. Once R2 was beginning to hit the theaters, the buzz was enormous and thats when I truly became a fan. Once R3 came out and I saw it, I dropped the franchise - stopped being a fan since R3 caused everyone who used to be a Robo fan to be ashamed, not to even mention the TV series. All the kids at school were avoiding even mentioning the fact that 2 years before everyone was hot for Robo and it was THE thing. Picked up the interest again about a year ago, bought and rewatched the trilogy for the first time in more than a decade - what a thrill it was seeing it for the first time with adult mind (with the exception of R3 which was a major struggle to sit through) ----------------------------------- LuanaTF Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- 15 years, with the on's and off's. But the love never died. :) And it is as old as my love for the Transformers. ----------------------------------- Snoopy Tue Feb 09, 2010 7:35 am ----------------------------------- ^Same here I've been a robocop fan for about 15 years. ----------------------------------- LuanaTF Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- You know, sometimes' funny thinking that when everyone was watching Robocop 1 in theatres I was a 2 years old kid still wearing a diaper :P ----------------------------------- Robocop fanatic Wed May 19, 2010 3:05 am ----------------------------------- wow u guys here have been a robocop fan for a long time i have not been a fan for so long because for eone im only 12 so this 80s movie does not get around to this gerneation much. But when i was introduced to it i was completely hooked i became a fan that moment.( FYI i have been a fan for about 3 years =) ) ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Wed May 19, 2010 3:10 am ----------------------------------- ... Bah, I didn't think 12 year olds were allowed on this site.. ain't that like illegal or something? :b ----------------------------------- Deus Ex Robo Wed May 19, 2010 4:10 am ----------------------------------- Only if they tell their parents. But that's why we threaten them with death. Ya see Stan? ----------------------------------- cobrahunter187 Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:46 am ----------------------------------- I'm 24 years old and i say i'm like fan of robocop since 23 years old, yeah sounds a bit odd but that's really it :) ----------------------------------- ElectricSoul Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:30 am ----------------------------------- been a fan for 24 years! was there in August of 1987 seeing the first film in the UA Theaters in Frackville,PA.! ----------------------------------- ElectricSoul Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:35 am ----------------------------------- Yeah I was pretty young..all of about 7 I believe Spaceballs and robocop came out the same year..1987. But i remember everything. I remember the robocop cardboard standup in the lobby and the teaser trailer that they played. I believe there was also a teaser for Masters of the Universe..but I may be wrong. i remember that standee! i would've murdered people to get one of those! had to settle for the McF 3-D poster decades later.... :roll: ----------------------------------- KidGoesWild Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:01 am ----------------------------------- Speaking of that image on the standee, I think its a big pitty the current DVD and BluRay releases have all those photoshopped images instead of this great, iconic poster of Robo stepping out of the car. The image we're all attached to and remember ______________________________________________ http://robocopmovies.blogspot.com/ ----------------------------------- ElectricSoul Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:51 am ----------------------------------- 100% agree! it conveyed interest,and a little bit of mystery,in my opinion " There's a robot cop stepping out of his squad car,looking at you,and your ass is toast!" now,we got "Look,it's a robot's head!" ----------------------------------- meathead316 Sun Nov 13, 2011 11:02 am ----------------------------------- ive been a robo fan ever since i fist saw the film on video about 22 years ago.... im only 26 now :) (my parents didnt give a shit what i watched so it was robocop, arnie films and what ever from an early age for me) ----------------------------------- Vader1 Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:33 pm ----------------------------------- I have been a fan since 1987, I was 15 yrs old when I saw Robocop in the theater opening weekend. It was AWESOME!!! My friends and I thought the best scene was when Robo shot between the woman's legs. It is sad that theater (It had 4 screens) I saw Robocop and many other great movies when I was a kid was torn down in the early 2000's when the first big multiplex theater (20 screens) opened. ----------------------------------- Ponteral Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:34 pm fan ----------------------------------- I liked RoboCop (R1) since I was 10 years old in 1998. RoboCop was always my best hero. I've became real fan on high scholl in 2006. My roommates was crazy from me. I watched RoboCop 10 times for week. So I understood them :-D but I like RoboCop since my chilhood. It's from the end of 90's :) ----------------------------------- Lexington Mon Jan 23, 2012 3:35 pm ----------------------------------- Robofan for the majority of my life, I guess. For some reason I wasn't stopped from watching scary or violent films (I saw The Thing at six years old and kinda wished I hadn't), so I guess I saw Robocop when it hit the TV. I would have been 8 then. I think it was on permanent 'borrow' from my uncle's on VHS afterwards. What bugs me is my bf actually got to meet a guy done up properly as Robocop when he was a kid and I didn't. Goddamnit. ----------------------------------- Deus Ex Robo Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:12 pm ----------------------------------- Wait, you're a woman?! I've heard of those! ----------------------------------- robohell Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:46 pm ----------------------------------- Well it's now 25 years since the movie was released so i guess i have been obsessed for 25 years. ----------------------------------- Lexington Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:58 pm ----------------------------------- Wait, you're a woman?! I've heard of those! That is correct. Anything you say is automatically stored in my female recall banks and may be used against you. :wink: ----------------------------------- Deus Ex Robo Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:48 am ----------------------------------- AW SHIT! Suck in the guts fellas, we got one of them estrogen factories hangin around now :wink: Just bustin your ovaries, but it is an unusual and welcome presence here on the board. If memory stands, there hasn't been another female here besides Nika for quite some time. Don't worry though, the cave dwelling chronic masturbators usually stay on their side of the computer screen. Usually...... Moving on, I can't quite remember when I was first exposed to Robo. But at that tender age when violence is real, quests are never ending, boobs make or break a film, Robots are monolithic impressions of God, and "action stars shot .45 caliber bullets out of their cocks", this movie hit me at the right time in my adolescence. But even without the haze of my child's imagination "widening the edges of the frame", I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed the film at any age. Or would I have? We only live in the reality in which Robo exists. These characters: Robo, Terminator, The Xenos, and etc, had permiated pretty much every single facet of my young life. Toys, comics, video games, Saturday morning cartoons. Nearly every form of popular entertainment that I and many of you grew up with, was either parodied or directly influenced by these Sci-Fi classics in one way or another. Our childhood, nay, our very psychological and social make up has had some sort of credit to give to these films. If we are what we eat, then we most certainly are what we watch, play, and dream about. We owe everything to the drive of each other's imagination and curiosity to seek out and bring forth these fantasies from the void of our minds. A TOAST! To the artists, to the creations, and to the struggle it takes to make it all possible! fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap.........(<--Chronically Masturbating) ----------------------------------- KidGoesWild Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:11 am ----------------------------------- I bet Lexington will get a lot of PDs because of her revelation :lol: We have girls here and always did, but its always a bit of a surprise to have female fans of robotics and cyberscifi. ________________________ http://robocopmovies.blogspot.com/ ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Tue Jan 24, 2012 5:30 am ----------------------------------- fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap.........(<--Chronically Masturbating) :ohdear: ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Tue Jan 24, 2012 5:31 am ----------------------------------- Ten minutes later: fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap.........(<--Chronically Masturbating) ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Tue Jan 24, 2012 5:58 am ----------------------------------- ...and this is one of "The Big Robo Topics" :ohdear: Oh well, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap, fap.........(<--Chronically Masturbating) ----------------------------------- Lexington Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:15 pm ----------------------------------- http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/gallery/popcorn-gifs/scary_popcorn.gif ...Strange I guess, I had a thing for robots ever since I was young spawn. Someone tried to buy me a Barbie Bus and I think I insisted on having it swapped for an Omni Junior. Then I pretended he was a 15 metres tall all-purpose demolition-killing machine. Kids. Not enough people in general appreciate robots, giant robots, cyborgs, and cyberpunk. It's disgusting. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee297/pribnowbox/th_anj_sceptic.gif ----------------------------------- Josh Tue Jan 24, 2012 8:18 pm ----------------------------------- Are you watching Pimp beat off Lex? ----------------------------------- Lexington Tue Jan 24, 2012 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- Are you watching Pimp beat off Lex? Simultaneously mesmerizing, yet terrifying. . . ----------------------------------- Deus Ex Robo Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:51 am ----------------------------------- My God! Did anyone even read my entire post!? I JUST WANTED TO WAX PHILOSOPHICAL AND SAY SOMETHING NICE! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! ----------------------------------- Lexington Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:57 am ----------------------------------- Nothing hotter than a guy waxing philosophical while he's roughing up the suspect. I'd administer PT, if I could find it on your profile. In my defence, I feel drunk. ----------------------------------- Officer Harvey Sun Jan 29, 2012 6:30 pm ----------------------------------- I had seen it when I was around 8 or 9 and loved it, but I didn't become really hooked until around my late teens when I was able to comprehend all the complexities of the original movie. Since then, it gradually became my favorite film. ----------------------------------- robo reiko Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:52 am ----------------------------------- Since the day RoboCop 1 came out for rent. I remember that day, dad took me to rent a moive ;) ----------------------------------- Lexington Thu Feb 02, 2012 10:20 am ----------------------------------- My stepdad was always renting bad sci-fi movies from the videoshop - stuff like The Lawnmower Man, Robot Jox, Slipstream, Carnosaur - till it became like this joke that he'd somehow always manage to find the worst films ever made and we'd have to eat dinner to them, and the only one excited about it was him. Why didn't he ever bring back anything cool, like Robocop? I had to 'borrow' Robo from my uncles' and then tape it myself from the TV when they discovered they were Roboless. Could have been worse I guess - compulsory Adam Sandler movies or something. ----------------------------------- Josh Thu Feb 02, 2012 2:06 pm ----------------------------------- stuff like The Lawnmower Man First your hate for Keanu Reeves and now The Lawnmower Man. WHY LEX, WHY??? ----------------------------------- Lexington Thu Feb 02, 2012 2:57 pm ----------------------------------- ...I don't know you and your taste that well yet Josh; you could either be cracking a funny there, or you could be deadly, misty-eyedly serious. I don't know. So I made two answers. Answer 1 is intended for if you cracked a funny. Answer 2 is for Serious Mode. 1) ...I'm an asshole, yea. And TLM is probably why I dislike Robo 2 a little more than maybe I should. RoboCain's TV screen! Reminds me of TLM's ending. Oh my God. Nah. I'm really just pissed because "virtual reality" still sucks 20 years on. I WANT TO PLAY WHAT THEY ARE PLAYING AND HAVE PROPER CYBERFUX0R and what's the best we got? Driving test simulation!? Skype!? 2) ...I'm an asshole. *shrug* ----------------------------------- robocop87 Sat Feb 18, 2012 8:36 am ----------------------------------- I was born the year the first movie came out so I have been a fan since I have been about 5 or so.My brother had the movie on vhs and I used to borrow it all the time and watch it until I got all 3 on dvd myself,and now I am going to buy the trilogy on blu ray. ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Mon Feb 20, 2012 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- I take offense too calling Robotjox bad sci fi...It's cheesey Sci Fi!...And i love it.. ----------------------------------- robodisciple Tue Feb 26, 2013 4:17 am ----------------------------------- Pretty much all my life lol! lets see i was almost a year old when the first robocop came out in '87. But according to my dad i saw it for the first time when I was like 2 years old(of course i dont remember it). But i do remember at that age having those robocop ultra police figures. Ahh memories.... ----------------------------------- RoboWags Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:38 am ----------------------------------- I've been a fan since it came out in '87. Didn't catch it in theaters but saw it for the first time when it was released on VHS (you know - in the days when stores existed where you could go to rent such things :b)
