Does anyone have this tv series ?


Yeah topic.

reply

I have several episodes on VHS which I taped. I loved this show!
Mostly cause it was Canadian, filmed in Toronto, so as a kid I enjoyed spotting out all the local landmarks, and seeing local Toronto actors.
Some episodes were good, some boring...Robocop never even killed anyone...
people did die, and often in really gruesome ways. Insane

yeh ive got this series on DVD, i bought it at my local video ezy, was only $20, i was cheering

Hey there. I was cast as an extra for this series. I played a Cyberpunk. It was awesome. Not sure if the footage ever aired with me in a scene or not. But I can tell you that the scene involved us Cyberpunks throwing molitav cocktails at Robocop. In my scene Robocop shoots the molitav cocktail outta my hand and it explodes throwing me through a storefront window. I originally tried to get on the cast as a stunt driver and just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Didn't make alotta money but hey it was a blast. I did later get a stunt job with a film crew filming in Toronto and got seriously injured, when my car hit some idiot that ran a stop sign. I broke both legs, all my ribs, my shoulder blade, my jaw and had a skull fracture. Not very fun but hey that's the risk ya take.

The pilot episode is availble on VCD (Video CD - will play in virtually any DVD player) in NTSC (North American video format), as "Robocop: The New Movie". It is very hard to come by, and was only released in Singapore and Malaysia, by Berjaya, Skyvision, Rigel & HVN (the distributor label is Berjaya, but all 4 company's logos appear on the packaging). The video quality is average for VCD (i.e., inferior to DVD, but about equal to VHS). I got mine on eBay.

For anyone interested, I am currently selling the entire series on DVD on ebay.

I wish I could get my hands on this. ineed some new RoboCop entertainment.

Hey look its spot

reply

My boss has the whole thing on tape, with original promo spots in between the episodes. It even has radio spots!

The quality isn't so hot, however, and even if it was crystal clear nothing can keep it from essentially sucking ass. t1000416, you're not missing much, I promise you. The villains and plots are made for little kids (read ages 10 and under, seriously). They include a criminal clown, illegal gambling ice cream trucks, a digital woman that aids Robo, a little girl named "Gadget," feminists kidnapping the president of OCP, and a man with a melted face, pudface Morgan.

and the 4 disc boxset (Dark Justice, Meltdown, Resurrection and Crash & burn) for a fiver

reply

That wasn't this Robocop Series. That was a different one.

reply

It was a TV Movie series. Robocop: Prime Directives. Involves another person becoming a Robocop. As cool as that may sound, it was pretty bad and boring. All 4 films were made with a budget less than the first Robocop movie!

I an't afraid of no ghosts!
