'I've got a feeling this is how Terminator got started.'
Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick World
What’s a good motto for the US police force?
Might be a little on the nose.
‘I am Rotor, ;
'you are guilty’
This is ROTOR, which stands for Robotic Officer Tactical Operation Research
or Robotic Officer Tactical Operations Reserve
depending on which part of the film you’re watching.
'Everything is Fine, fine fine fine.'
It looks T1000 doing calisthenics.
But in reality it’s a badly dubbed Robocopycat from Mexico
'You wanted want some kind of accident'
Well…
This is bad news cos Rotor’s not ready, he hasn’t got the hang of the tricky concept of walking around things,
and has no idea of the appropriate punishment for speeding.
Now it’s up to two police scientists to track the rogue rotor down.
‘Caldyron’
and
‘Steel’
This season on CBS Action
And they’ve already got their hard boiled patter down.
‘Unlike a cemetery I’ll take anybody’
'You fire me and I'll make more noise than two skeletons making love in a tin coffin brother.'
With these two on the case Rotor doesn’t have chance.
‘Let’s go get him’
Especially since, as the future of law enforcement, he sucks.
despite his sophisticated terminator vision,
and ability to see into the past.
He’s fixated on one target, the girlfriend of the man he shot,
and he is completely unable to kill this single unarmed woman.
Partly because he’s susceptible to car horns.
How’s he going to cope with an actual criminal?! Or indeed a traffic jam.
‘Don’t ask stupid questions’
Because he’s so useless, the people pursuing Rotor have to be equally useless for the movie to have any tension.
‘Use your failure against him’
Sorry, what?
‘I don’t know what any of that means’
Oh good, I was afraid it was just me. Now how are you going to stop this thing?
‘The deactivation key?’
I don’t want to criticise, but I do feel that building a killer robot you can only deactivate by shoving a key into it shows a stunning lack of foresight!
And you’ve still got to find it!
‘Is it his?’
‘Well it ain’t Pee Wee Herman’s’
Good, that’s narrowed it down. But seriously how are you going stop it?
Oh come on!
One of those wires is attached to a car, the others, no idea.
'For Christ's sake get down.'
So, this is a film about an indomitable robot
‘We built the perfect lawman’
that can’t catch one girl.
and 2 brilliant scientists,
‘Well who are we who create such a thing? Heroes or villains?’
who’ve never heard of the remote control.
‘When I stack ‘em they stay stacked’
I don’t know what anything you say means.
‘It’s like a chainsaw set on frappe’
I also don’t know why would anyone make this movie?
‘For the same reason a dog licks himself boy, because it can’
That’s not really cleared the issue up.
‘Justice served’
