Stupid Robots

This ridiculous looking thing from KING KONG ESCAPES(1967)

I think you meant to put a pic of this up...

I gotta agree with Sven here- the Kong Robot is cool- Kong himself looks like a moron.

They used an reused team robots in so many films. I believe the first was a Busby Berkley musical, and they had little tin top hats. I have to look it up now.

 Ming's robot in FLASH GORDON (1936) has human hands. They didn't even put gloves on him.

Knowing Ming this robot may have been a human converted to a robot for some evil reason...

I own the series. Watched it lotsa times. Mostly drunk. But no. There just called 'robots' And you only see them for a minute.
And he's got a bucket head.  And they put a cardboard and paint  face on him. Really bad!

The Robots with dick drills in FLESH GORDON-

Those were meant to be goofy, so I'm not sure they count.

I agree.  BTW does anyone else imagine the one in the background singing "Maaaam-eeeee! " he just make me thing of a blackface actor from the 30's....

This brought to mind my recent re-watch of Star Trek Voyager, specifically the "Captain Proton" episodes. Doctor Chaotica had himself a superbly dopey robot.

Might as well post a couple more, I got nothing better to do and bad robots are sort of what got me into the whole B-Movie genre. 

This is Gamelot from Ultraman Leo (1974). He's a giant robot with springs inside of his legs sent and he can also retract his limbs into his body to fly around. The design is actually not bad, but the whole leg-spring thing came off as pretty cheesy.

And lastly, here is Mechagiras from Ultraman 80 (1980). While the design isn't too bad, it's pretty much Ultraman's cheap knockoff of the more popular Mechagodzilla from Toho's films. It's a giant robotic dinosaur-like thing, it fires lasers, has a force field surrounding it, and it has a head that rotates a full 360° that also just so happens to be its weakness. Oh, and it uses Gigan's roaring sound.

For some reason, I like these more with the original Japanese soundtrack.
