Title: R.O.T.O.R Post by: Conny jonasson on July 15, 2001, 01:51:31 PM This film is so funny , have anyone of you seen it?
it about this terminator cop in the future , and something went wrong and he gets out of control . He becomes like Judge dread (to judge and execute) The robot cop looks like one in village people , i have notist that some parts of the sounds they have taken from the terminator movie the film cover is painted and on that robot there they have taken the legs of c3po from starwars. read more about it here http://us.imdb.com/Title?0098156 Title: Re: R.O.T.O.R Post by: Mofo Rising on July 15, 2001, 02:34:03 PM I've seen it. Me and a friend rented it when we were kids. Mostly because we thought the robot on the cover looked pretty cool.
I only remember two things about it. One, it was terrible. Two, the dub they used on the main actors voice was ridiculously deep. Title: Re: R.O.T.O.R Post by: Hairzilla on July 15, 2001, 03:25:10 PM My comment isn't in regard to "R.O.T.O.R." per se, Conny [Even though it sounds hysterical in it's awfulness! I may have to check to see if the video store I go to has it!], but more to your observations about the sampled sounds and cover art.
Your descriptions, especially about how C-3PO's legs are recognizable on the cover, sparked a thought [after I stopped snickering long enough] that the pictorial representations found on the video covers of many, truly bad movies are, more often than not, totally misleading! [It's an evil plot I tell ya!] Take my personal favorite example: "Godzilla Vs King Kong". A few years ago I used to see it with a cover that featured genuine stills from the movie and let you know exactly what you were in for. [And for good reason!] Most recently, however, I've begun to see it with a different cover that has images of the monsters taken from completely different films, and that are far superior to how they actually appear in the movie! [Boy, are any casual, unaware fans that buy it and expect it to look like the cover gonna be in for a letdown!] The image of King Kong that...uh, graces the most current cover has obviously been stole...er, "used with permission" from the Dino Delaurentis remakes [Now there's a name that Beavis would get hung up on and mutter throughout an entire episode!], as well as the Godzilla shot being from a much later, better film. My God, shouldn't there be some kind of law against such blatant, insideous deception?....I firmly place the blame on the U.N. and Kurt Cobain.... Don't need nothin' but a good, Tokyo stompin' time!

Yeah, I saw that KKvG cover: Kong from the Dino-De remake, Godzilla from Godzilla 1985. No freaking shame whatsoever. Title: Re: R.O.T.O.R Post by: Vermin Boy on July 16, 2001, 09:10:38 AM Kinda like all those cheapjack distributors of Roger Corman's "Little Shop of Horrors" who put a big (80s-era) picture of Nicholson on the cover, suggesting he's the star. Although, truth be told, I have a feeling Roger would do the same thing...

Did you ever wonder if the family of ...oh, alzhimers!...the lady that wrote FRANKENSTEIN should get royaltys from all the movies that do the "It turned on its creator" bit? corse...that concept could be applyed to some film Makers! "Waterworld" anyone? "Heavens gate?" "Ishatar?" Must be awful to have your movie grab you by the throat and yell, "Why did you make me like this!?"
