----------------------------------- HOB888 Sun May 01, 2016 11:22 pm Galyn Gorg Interview ----------------------------------- #1 How were you cast in the movie? Did you screen-test with Tom and co?  I auditioned for the role of Angie in Hollywood. I remember walking in and there were many other actresses waiting to go in and read. During my audition, the director, Irvin Kershner asked me, “what would you do if you were attacked in a scene by another character?” Because I am a professional dancer, I stood up and did a high kick to the side and yelled, “Ya!” Mr. Kershner said, “nice…” and then laughed, so I laughed too. It was a fun moment. I always think this was the reason he cast me in the role of Angie. #2 The film has a lot of deleted scenes. Do you remember anything you filmed that didn't end up in the movie? The power-hungry character, Cain, was the leader of our criminal gang of “bad guys “. Cain’s primary intention was to protect his “nuke,” distribution network, build his empire and to expand his perverted version of utopia. Cain considered himself a leader as well, as our spiritual guide. I remember a scene with the character, Cain, and my character, Angie, where we were meditating, focusing, and cultivating energy. My feeling was that Angie thought Cain had spiritual insights, which were divinely ordained. He had “the answer”. Angie reveled in the attention from Cain and the fact that a man of power gave her attention. #3 According to IMDB, for the scene where 'RoboCain' breaks Angie's neck, she was able to twist her neck in an unnatural way that Irvin Kershner and the crew feared she had actually injured herself. Is this true? Yes, this is true. When Mr. Kershner explained to me the blocking of the scene and how he would like it to be played out, I volunteered to do my own stunt. As a flexible and agile dancer, I was used to doing dance choreography where jumping, sliding, and falling to the ground where normal. For one shot, they had me stand on boxes, hold onto a bar above my head, and then fall into frame. We did quite a few takes. I was somewhat sore by the time we finally achieved the take Kershner was happy with. The scene is quite impactful and disturbing. My family and friends do not like it at all! #4 The set was apparently chaotic at times. Nancy Allen had a bad time with the movie. Michael Medeiros who played ‘Catzo’ (the Elvis-looking one of the gang) recalls Kershner literally ripping pages from the script every morning, calling it sh*t while Frank Miller (the writer) would look on mournfully. How did you find filming RoboCop ? I remember being on set and there would be delays because Kershner and Frank were having lengthy discussions about the scenes we were preparing to shoot. The creative process was intense during the filming. Scene revisions were happening on a daily basis. There was a lot of pressure because of the enormous success of the first Robocop film. A little trivia: Several times Frank and I had dinner to talk about scenes, my character, and future project ideas. He mentioned to me that he was working on the script for, “Elektra,” and thought that I would be perfect for this exotic dark haired super hero. I liked the idea. However, Jennifer Garner wound up playing the role. #5 Despite that your character was part of Cain's   criminal squad and supposedly her lover, we noticed that Angie   was, sometimes, not as reckless as them, also she was loyal to Cain.   What was your approach for the role of Angie ? There was not much information in the script regarding Angie’s back-story. As a result, I had the freedom to create her former life. Kershner was supportive of my ideas. My feeing was that Angie came from a painful childhood and was in search of safe connection with others, a sense of belonging, and unconditional love. Because of her past, she felt betrayed, distrustful, and resentful. This emotional turmoil caused her to lack empathy, be self-centered and harmful to others if need be. Angie was deeply in love with Cain and would do anything to please him. She felt that he had the answer to her happiness. Cain gave her the attention, which she so desperately hungered for. He introduced her to “nuke”, and was able to manipulate her through this addiction. Angie had lost all sense of self. She had become emotionally and chemically dependent in order to cope with the intensity of what she was feeling. Angie’s tragic storyline reflected the journey of a young woman who had lost sight of the fact that the answers to what she was seeking dwelled within her. I love to hear from fans of Robocop 2.

And interesting to know Frank wanted her for his Elektra. ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Mon May 02, 2016 8:15 pm ----------------------------------- Indeed, this is all quite neat! Thanks HOB and also thanks very much to Miss Gorg as well! :) ----------------------------------- RoboFan_93 Tue May 03, 2016 9:54 am ----------------------------------- Thanks for posting this! Interesting read, especially since we rarely hear anything about the sequels. ----------------------------------- Rick Wed May 04, 2016 4:04 pm ----------------------------------- Great little interview. I always wondered what had happened to the supporting cast of the Robo sequels, nice to know they are willing to talk about the film and their experiences, good or bad. They will likely never get a chance to talk about them on camera for a DVD extra, so this is the next best thing, for us anyway. ----------------------------------- chaos one Wed May 11, 2016 9:24 am ----------------------------------- Nice I'm glad you got this interview Hob I'm extremely psyched! I love Angie so much. ----------------------------------- Rick Mon May 23, 2016 8:48 am ----------------------------------- Galyn has also been confirmed for the RoboDoc, so you will see her talking more in detail and in person about the movie next year. ----------------------------------- HOB888 Mon May 23, 2016 10:17 am ----------------------------------- Galyn has also been confirmed for the RoboDoc, so you will see her talking more in detail and in person about the movie next year. I was hopping that they could reach Tom Noonan and Gabriel Damon. ----------------------------------- Rick Tue May 24, 2016 11:28 am ----------------------------------- They still might... although wasn't there something about Tom not liking the movie or wanting to talk about it? ----------------------------------- HOB888 Tue May 24, 2016 8:13 pm ----------------------------------- They still might... although wasn't there something about Tom not liking the movie or wanting to talk about it? I've contacted them since a while now but no luck. ----------------------------------- RoboFan_93 Wed May 25, 2016 6:25 pm ----------------------------------- I guess somebody's wish is getting fulfilled: https://scontent.fsof2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13235691_474403146088690_7525277527760383310_o.jpg ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Wed May 25, 2016 6:40 pm ----------------------------------- Fuck yeah! ----------------------------------- HOB888 Thu May 26, 2016 8:30 pm ----------------------------------- Good news ! ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Fri May 27, 2016 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- Great work here. Even in this brief interview I feel I gained some insight into her character, especially in regards to the deleted meditation scene. It's great to see that not everybody that worked on Robo film hated it! Take a PT for bringing us this Hobb. ----------------------------------- artuditu Sat May 28, 2016 4:48 pm ----------------------------------- If you had to put in a balance all good and bad things of R2, Angie would definitely be in the good side! Always found her very beautiful and with a strong presence, her character is interesting, looks like an Angel yet physical and ready to fight, also could see some moments of weakness and troubled interior life. Faith towards Cain was an important part of her character, only moment of doubt is when he kills Duffy in front of Hob, but as with any religion, Angie ultimately complies and thinks her "God" knows better. Then when Cain is gone she falls apart, but I always find interesting how Hobs become the new Cain in her life, as a mother seeing his orphan child taking charge and becoming the caretaker of the family. Obviously her nuke addiction was making her easy to manipulate and fit well into that (dysfunctional) family fantasy. Then we have the encounter with RoboCain, fascinating moment. Does Cain kill her because he feels she is scared to death and faking it? Or because he realize he won't be a man of flesh again? Now that I think of, plenty of strong female characters in R2, of course Lewis, but also Faxx, Angie, and Lab doctor. The plot can have many issues, but there is character development in there by Frank Miller. ----------------------------------- Edd 209 Mon Oct 17, 2016 3:15 am ----------------------------------- Just want to say great interview :-) (Just catching up on old posts I've missed) ----------------------------------- Robocop_Unit_1983 Mon Oct 17, 2016 4:01 am ----------------------------------- Good interview, It's refreshing to know that she's open to hear from the rest of the regular Robocop fans, really enjoyed reading, thus a PT was added for due diligence ;). ----------------------------------- Rick Tue Oct 18, 2016 9:21 am ----------------------------------- She's also being interviewed for the RoboDoc project that should be out next year. Can't wait to see it. ----------------------------------- HOB888 Wed Oct 19, 2016 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- She's also being interviewed for the RoboDoc project that should be out next year. Can't wait to see it. I wanted to back their project but I was one week too late.Now I can't get it one way or another. This is depressing :( I've contacted them and will wait and see if they can help. ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:43 pm ----------------------------------- She's also being interviewed for the RoboDoc project that should be out next year.

This is depressing :( I've contacted them and will wait and see if they can help. Don't get too down - I'm quite sure they'll sell additional DVDs/etc of RoboDoc once it's all completed, at least I certainly hope so given I only backed enough for a poster myself. Either way I think that's going off the rails here, so with that I agree it will be great to see her on there among all the other awesomeness. ----------------------------------- Rick Thu Oct 20, 2016 9:00 pm ----------------------------------- I'm pretty sure they will have extra copies of the Doc to sell to people who didn't know about it or didn't have the money at the time. Plus, you can be sure it'll end up on a torrent site at some point too. I donated to help the guys out, so should be getting a nice BluRay of the doc when it's ready for release. ----------------------------------- HOB888 Sat Oct 22, 2016 10:49 am ----------------------------------- You gave me some hope :) ----------------------------------- Archive Wed Oct 26, 2016 1:56 pm ----------------------------------- From the robodoc team: "RoboDoc is slated for a July 2017 DVD and Blu-ray release, to coincide with RoboCop's 30th anniversary, plus there are plans for screenings in both Dallas and Los Angeles. Christopher also hopes the documentary will make appearances at film festivals around the globe." ----------------------------------- Edd 209 Wed Oct 26, 2016 11:38 pm ----------------------------------- RoboCop's 30th anniversary Now I feel old... hopes the documentary will make appearances at film festivals around the globe. *keeps keen look out for every film festival in Brisbane...* ----------------------------------- Maxlee Tue Nov 22, 2016 8:02 pm ----------------------------------- Has Weller been confirmed or not to show up in this? No matter how much effort they put into this things, it would just feel forever .... odd... to have a whole documentary feature without the main man himself. I also thought Weller a while back had made peace with his once anti-RoboCop persona? ----------------------------------- Archive Tue Nov 22, 2016 8:52 pm ----------------------------------- Has Weller been confirmed or not to show up in this? According to the Robodoc team Weller unfortunately does not wish to participate in anything Robo related at this time. He will still be featured in the documentary via various old interview footage. ----------------------------------- Maxlee Tue Nov 22, 2016 9:40 pm ----------------------------------- That's a shame. I know we can not FORCE Weller to do anything, and heck, we should be lucky Weller is still alive and healthy as far as I know (he starred in some tv series these past years) For all we know, and 2016 being ruthless, Weller could have already died long time ago, be it sickness or accident. But don't you just WANT this documentry to start with Weller saying "Hello folks, today marks the 30th anniversary of RoboCop, so the fans made this special feature for you to watch. Go grab some popcorn and enjoy!" And heck, that could all it would be, for all I care. ----------------------------------- Edd 209 Tue Nov 22, 2016 11:30 pm ----------------------------------- Has Weller been confirmed or not to show up in this? According to the Robodoc team Weller unfortunately does not wish to participate in anything Robo related at this time. He will still be featured in the documentary via various old interview footage. Shame. How about Ed 209 - has he confirmed to be in this? ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Wed Nov 23, 2016 6:20 am ----------------------------------- For all we know, and 2016 being ruthless, Weller could have already died long time ago, be it sickness or accident. How can you so brazenly say such shit!? That said, I'm quite sure Weller has avoided the onslaught of this year and is indeed still kicking quite fine. He's made comments about the remake and I know he is still doing his History Channel hosting as of fairly recently. He is a famous man in his ways - When he passes we'll damn well know about it. It has thankfully not happened. BUT.. I know unfortunately it will come in my lifetime.. A day I'm in no way looking forward to experiencing. But don't you just WANT this documentry to start with Weller saying "Hello folks, today marks the 30th anniversary of RoboCop, so the fans made this special feature for you to watch. Go grab some popcorn and enjoy!" And heck, that could all it would be, for all I care. That would be just dandy. Then again might not want to put the best part of the Doc right at front. Maybe have him pop up with a 'thanks' at the end. ;) ----------------------------------- ChAnOoD Wed Nov 23, 2016 1:26 pm ----------------------------------- That would be just dandy. Then again might not want to put the best part of the Doc right at front. Maybe have him pop up with a 'thanks' at the end. ;) With a "thank you for your co-operation", you say. ----------------------------------- Maxlee Wed Nov 23, 2016 3:10 pm ----------------------------------- Sorry Stan, I didn't meant to imply Weller had actually died without any of us knowing about it, I meant to say that we could have lost him many years ago due to the fragility of life and well, anything-can-happen scenarios. None of us are immortal unfortunately. I have no ill will towards Weller whatsoever, sure I'd find it a bummer if he doesn't do anything for the docu film, but hey I'd rather he stays healthy and acting as long as possible. ----------------------------------- Stan The Man Wed Nov 23, 2016 9:22 pm ----------------------------------- Sorry Stan, I didn't meant to imply Weller had actually died without any of us knowing about it, I meant to say that we could have lost him many years ago due to the fragility of life and well, anything-can-happen scenarios.

Oh I know, man, it's cool - I was more just meaning it's kinda bad vibes to just blurt it. But as I even agreed earlier you are indeed right, it will happen someday. You make a point we should be glad he has lived thus far. And with that, hopefully he was a decent while yet to go. With a "thank you for your co-operation", you say. Well, yes of course. Or even a "stay out of trouble". Hell the man could appear and say 'Go fuck yourself and a die in a ditch', and I'd be happy. :) ----------------------------------- Edd 209 Wed Nov 23, 2016 11:12 pm ----------------------------------- Well, yes of course.
