Yeah,the opening sequence and the final battle are the best part about part 2…but that whole part in the middle,umm no thanks…I saw part 3 and it is wretched…
ROBOCOP 3 was a rough ride.
He’s blue, he flies, he’s totally gay, he fights idiotic ninjabots, and . . . . am I trippin’ or did the end battle have some retarded faggitry stolen from Deathwish 3 or 4 (I forget which one) where the “good” citizens of the city all band together to stand as one and drive the baddies out of town?
Anyway, yeah, it’s a horrible movie. I watched it on TV on a Saturday. Didn’t cost me a dime. And yet I still wanted a refund.

As bad as Robocop 3 is, i hate Robocop 2 more. At least i was prepared for how bad 3 was, but 2 was a kick in the balls after the greatness of the first one. The Old Man shouting “Behaaaa-aaaaave yourselves!” is one of the worst moments in cinema history. Robocop 2 just shits all over a great film and reduces it to 2 robots fighting for our “summer entertainment”. Robocop was a thoughtful and thought-provoking sci-fi classic with deep ideas and a lot of humanity, the rest is just Hollywood trying to squeeze a fast buck out of something that they didn’t care enough about to even try to understand.
I’m hoping the new film, although it’s certainly been demanded by people who are greedy corporate cunts, not unlike OCP, will have some degree of quality from the great cast and director. It didn’t need to be made, but i’m hoping, like Fincher’s Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, that it’ll be well worth seeing because of the talent involved.
I hear ya.
I don’t know if I still have it, but I picked up Robocop 2 for like $4 a while back and couldn’t even finish it. If there’s a kickass final battle I probably didn’t even see it.

Years ago i bought the trilogy boxset because it was the only way to get the uncut version of the first film. 2 and 3 have never been out of the box, although i’m tempted the see if i can shatter them by throwing them against the wall.

Use them as beer coasters when watching #1.
I was at Best Buy once to get Smokey and the Bandit on DVD and found the 1,2,3 set for like $10.99 or something. Then #1 by itself for like $12.99. Yeah, I paid $2 extra to NOT own Smokey and the Bandit 3.

Smokey and the Bandit 3 is like making a Robocop film where he only turns up in a hallucination at the end and the whole film is just about Lewis, i.e. unutterably shite - although Brian De Palma may have liked that.
Smokey 3 is a fucking abomination…I’ve only watched it a couple times because there was a scene filmed that is literally 5 minutes from my house…the old Hialeah Speedway…I spent some drunken nights there…it’s gone now…
and in Smokey 2 there is a scene filmed 10 minutes from my house at the old orange Bowl stadium that is also gone…spent MANY drunken nights there…old ghosts of Miami past…
Smokey 2 is mostly crap . . . but at least it has Burt and Sally (and mah main nigga, Dom Deluise!!!).
It’s just kind of hard to go from truckin’ a semi full of illegal BEER to transporting an elephant and not have it be a giant let down.
Yeah, totally, i mean, i can’t drink a fucking elephant!
Yeah but compared to Smokey 2 it’s fucking Citizen Kane…that part 3 is just putrid…there are some great scenes in part 3 where you see the shark on the car and then in the next edit it isn’t there…and then it is…I love shit like that…
Remember Hooper?
Remember Hooper?
HELLS YEAH!!!
I watched that goddamn thing so many times…Jan Fuckin Michael Vincent…
And yeah, the degradation of Smokey and the Bandit is just wretched . . .
#1 = Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed bootlegging a giant semi of BEER across the country.
#2 = Burt and Co. are transporting an elephant.
#3 = NO BURT, and they’re shipping . . . . a plastic shark.
OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
The Hooper movie poster is pure legend!
Yeah the descent of Smokey was brutal…Hal Needham directed Smokey 1,Hooper and Cannonball Run…he did some other cool flicks too…he was a former paratrooper who became a stuntman and then a stunt coordinator and eventually a director…old buddy of Burt’s…
I’ve never seen “Shamus” but check out how awesome this poster is!
Burt Reynolds is the ultimate Alpha Male!!!
I’ve seen about everything Burt has ever done…Shamus is average but that poster is not…IT"S GLORIOUS!!!
