R.I.C.O. Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 We all love a bit of mindless violence now and again - after seeing Robocop for the first time in about 5 years last night, it got me thinking. The 1980's was king for mindless machine-gunnery and explosion fests. What other decade could you get the tiny Sly Stallone carrying and firing a helicopter-mounted minigun - or a robot cop, a killing machine travelling through time.... For the record, my favourite is Robocop - Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece, unfortunately being remade :roll: for absolutely no reason. I love the futuristic way it was filmed, the adverts with lines like "I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR", the ED-209s and the part where the guy falls in the toxic waste. What about yourselves? I hope I've produced a good list. I've mixed a bit of science fiction in too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mansonAVFC Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Definately Commando, the way arnie killed a small army by himself at the end deserves my vote! I love that film, but i also think the 2nd Rambo was very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitey Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I love Indiana Jones although Harrison Ford is a crap actor. I think I've seen 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' about ten times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Star Wars, but no the empire strikes back, return of the jedi is better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Star Wars, but no the empire strikes back, return of the jedi is better IMO return of the jedi was a big dissapointment for me. It has to be Empire, then Star Wars then Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
