RoboCop (live Action TV Series)
''RoboCop'' is a 1994 cyberpunk television series based on the ''RoboCop'' franchise. It stars Richard Eden as the title character. Made to appeal primarily to children and young teenagers, it lacks the graphic violence of the original film ''RoboCop'' and its sequel ''RoboCop 2'' and is more in line with the tone of ''RoboCop 3''. The television series ignores the events of the sequels and many character names are changed from the movie series. The RoboCop character has several non-lethal alternatives to killing criminals, which ensures that certain villains can be recurring. The OCP Chairman and his corporation are treated as simply naïve and ignorant, in contrast to their malicious and immoral behavior from the second film onward. Background While ''RoboCop'' was initially an American property, Orion Pictures received a $500,000 cash infusion for TV licensing rights by Canada's Skyvision Entertainment in May 1993. Orion Pictures had originally planned to make a fourth '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
RoboCop Statue
The RoboCop statue is a bronze statue of RoboCop, a fictional cybernetically enhanced Detroit Police Department officer from the 1987 film ''RoboCop''. The idea for the statue originated with a 2011 exchange between Detroit mayor Dave Bing and a pseudonymous user on Twitter. In response to the suggestion that Detroit have a statue of RoboCop to rival Philadelphia's statue of Rocky, Bing replied that there were no plans to erect such a statue in the city. The exchange went viral and a subsequent Kickstarter campaign raised $67,436 to fund the construction of the statue. The completion and public display of the RoboCop statue have been delayed due to several setbacks, including difficulties in securing a site, legal issues with MGM, and artist Giorgio Gikas battling cancer. The statue was completed in 2021 and as of 2023 is in storage at an undisclosed location. It is planned to be displayed in Detroit's Eastern Market. In addition to Giorgio Gikas sand casting the pieces the sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
