1. I Agree, Absolutely

They'll throw in a bunch of computer-generated whiz bangs, but the end product will be vastly inferior to the original. Paul Verhoeven rules!

3. I was watching it recently and I was wondering why "Clarence Bodicker " looked familiar
When I looked up the cast on Wikipedia I found out why - Kurkwood Smith played the father on "That 70's Show".

I recently came upon a small blurb in the Washington Post that had something to do with Kurtwood Smith. Just like Alfred Molina still has people coming up to him with "throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip" imitations apparently Kurkwood Smith still has people approaching him with "bitches leave!" on a regular basis.

5. You learn something new every day
IMDB Trivia:

Won the role of "Red Foreman" on "That '70s Show" (1998) when the original choice, Chuck Norris, was unavailable due to his commitment to filming "Walker, Texas Ranger" (1993).

Chuck Norris??? That 70's Show??? :wtf:

10. Smith is also scheduled to appear in "24" next season
Edited on Mon Aug-11-08 03:00 PM by Mike Daniels
Someone in "24" casting seems to have a Robocop jones as Smith's casting follows that of Ray Wise, Paul Weller and Paul McCrane (all Robocop vets who've appeared on the show).

6. I'd buy that for a dollar!
I love when every character in the movie laughs hysterically at that guy.

7. They should remake that part at the end
When Dick Jones is falling out of the window and his arms look like they're fifty feet long.

Otherwise, they should change nothing.
