I never noticed this before, but I caught Robocop 2 on tv the other night and thought something looked awfully familiar in the Sunblock 5000 commercial...Nakatomi Plaza!
I've been driving by it every day on my way to work since I started a new job. Next-door to Nakatomi, or Fox Plaza, is the InterContinental Los Angeles Century City. Of course it has a pool that overlooks Fox Plaza!

I think it's a truly amazing finding
Also interesting they didn't film this in Houston, although the image is TV quality and all the film studios are around there, so probably they didn't bother too much to find the place, yet it's a nice coincidence.
If Die Hard and Robo were owned by the same studio and they were released today, it would generate tons of speculations about a hinted crossover
Actually, I think McClane and Robo could make a good buddy movie!

Well you never know! Yesterday I drove by and the entire driveway was full of production - so maybe that long awaited crossover is finally happening.
I guess the next step is to cover myself in blue paint and take a picture from the pool deck. Now if only i could find my bikini...

I posted the info on the rpf Facebook group and someone pointed out that it also looks like the pool in Lethal Weapon 2...
Yup, same pool! So our Robocop / John McClain buddy cop movie can expand to include Riggs & Murtaugh.
