At 0:33 the Janitor on the Bucket played the Gun Store Owner who sold all the guns to Arnold "The T100 Terminator" in the first movie! And the Galleria is where they filmed the T2 video arcade scene and the mall scene! Just a bit of movie trivia for you! V
Definitely watched this too many times as a kid... the 80s film makers were all about the killer robot... robocop, the terminator, these things... its kinda like the creative people of yesterday are trying to warn us.. send this video to Elon musk
Yep! Also famous for Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Valley Girl, Commando, Back to the Future Part II (somehow), and last but not certainly least: Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
I didn't know that this movie was originally rated PG. I love the title "Killbots" because it accurately describes the killers in the movie. "Chopping Mall" gives the impression that this is a slasher movie with a human killer that uses an ax. There isn't any chopping in it at all.
When it came out as kill bots, it did poorly at the box office. Thankfully after renaming it chopping mall, and rereleasing it, it did a better performance at the box office.
Funny trailer, but it totally spoils the death of one main character lol I love this movie, only discovered it a few weeks ago and keep going back to watch parts.
Yeah I usually never watch trailers for movies just read online what there about whenever watch trailer just watch first 30 sec most movie trailers always spoil important parts
This movie would have been a lot shorter if they'd called Tom Baker... actually, it would have been roughly the same length, just broken up into 4 twenty-something minute episodes, and a lot more British.
@@ChucksCherubs3 If you like a movie you want more of it! You never know if it's going to be good or not! Any true fan of a movie would want more! Even a shitty remake is better than nothing more but that's not even relevant bc it could be good!
@@GrindhouseMovieTrailers May be wrong, but is this also the shopping mall from T2? I remember the kids saying John had gone to the Galleria to the T1000. I know it was also used in Commando, but no mention of T2.
1. u dont need to shiver 2. this was made when they had low budget so it was impressive and 3. Chopping mall is a pun that goes with "where shopping can cost you an arm and a leg.
Recall the video box from an old video store in 2003 tattered over the years. Chopping Mall was a better title during the days of shopping and killing technology.
@@NickTheYoungHistorian that was a trailer for top gun before it was spliced btw killbots became chopping mall when it hit vhs and became a huge hit. One of the workers at marcade in rockaway nj has a shirt with the logo. Saw 45 minutes of it on amazon prime and liked it. Hope the remake is more serious.
@@kascnef That's not entirely accurate... I saw this movie at a theater in the Dayton, Ohio area when the film was released in 1986, and it had already been retitled as "Chopping Mall".
I'm glad they later called it Chopping Mall. Its much more catchy then Killbots. Killbots sound like a 60s sci fi.
"Killbots" actually hurt the movie at the box office. People thought it was some "Transformers" type cartoon movie and stayed away from it.
Killbots seems like a more appropriate title considering nobody gets chopped by the robots, but I know what you mean
Yeah, I don't think I would've watched it on Peacock otherwise. The Chopping Mall title made me laugh, so I watched it.
Catchy maybe, but deliberately misleading. Makes it sound like a fun mall slasher. Clearly there is no slashing
"Here me out... what if we did Dawn of the Dead (snorts a line of coke) but with Daleks!"
(snorts a line of coke)
OMG, IT'S GENIUS!!!
(Snorts another line of coke) What if a Cylon and Johnny 5 had a murderous baby?
Finally found the name for this! Saw bits of it on TV as a kid and later in life always thought this movie was a fever dream! 😂
DeadMeat did a kill count video on it if you like those.

Just a bit of movie trivia for you!

Huh so this was skynets killbots before they made terminators..lol just kidding. Love the trivia.
Thanks I Would have never put the two together. Big fan of trivia like that.
In 1986, it looked like everyone thought A.I. equals death.
It was the same release year of Wes Craven's Deadly Friend, which also involved A.I.
Cyberpunk was the hype in 1980.
I have Deadly Friend on vhs, is it any good?
Watched this as a kid
Still remember it
Definitely watched this too many times as a kid... the 80s film makers were all about the killer robot... robocop, the terminator, these things... its kinda like the creative people of yesterday are trying to warn us.. send this video to Elon musk
Don't forget the movie Runaway
the sherman oaks galleria....that mall got a lot of movie mileage in the 1980s
Was it in Commando by any chance?

Just watched it last night, good show! 👍🍿
I watched this trailer after watching Interstellar. Oh the contrast !
A stone cold classic!.

One of the most 80s movies ever. Robots, lasers, malls, hairspray and golf shirts😂
Best movie ever!

This movie needs a remake ASAP❗️
James Wan just said he would love to remake this.
So you didn't like it?
@@ChucksCherubs3 no she did...that's why she wants another one, duh.
@@mikeoster-mh6ey If you like a movie, you don't want a lousy remake. Double Duh. 😏

Amazing movie!
This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
@1:36 a bit of romance for those inclined.
Love this movie
Same me too.
That time when ED 209 & Johnny 5 had a baby
🤣
Looks like it was filmed in The Galleria
It was.
@@GrindhouseMovieTrailers May be wrong, but is this also the shopping mall from T2? I remember the kids saying John had gone to the Galleria to the T1000. I know it was also used in Commando, but no mention of T2.
Number5 gone bonkers
Whoa! Did he shoot that killbot after it put it's hands up?! And is this the same mall from Commando/Terminator 2?
This film is awesome and funny. Those robots should be toys for teens.
Tripple fiction. Makes it
This movie oozes 80's B movies. It's so bad it's bl00dy good 😅
They have one weakness. They a preset kill limit. So once they kill enough people they just shut down.
I prefer the trailer where a couple does the eye-roll.
ruclips.net/video/u2x9y2DcXxU/видео.html
Okay this looks amazing
Johnny 5 was very pissed off.
this is a horror movie? I'm not even shivering. and Chopping Mall? these robots don't even chop.
1. u dont need to shiver 2. this was made when they had low budget so it was impressive and 3. Chopping mall is a pun that goes with "where shopping can cost you an arm and a leg.
When I saw it in the theater it was still titled KILLBOTS.
Now they said sick em boy. But what I heard was, Chopper, sick balls
why did they put lethal equipment on mall security robots?
Malls were much less lenient on shop lifting back in the '80s.
@@GrindhouseMovieTrailers yeah, I guess so
Why these god damn robots killing people for?
It was due to a computer malfunction, caused by a lightning strike.
@@lpg12338Can't find this movie anywhere. I wanna see god damn killer robots with lasers n shit.

Fun fact.. that's the same mall from the Arnold's movie... commando
Weren't those neon steps on Sunset Strip?
Good old 80s horror ❤❤❤❤
Was that shopping mall also used in Arnie's commando?
agents of shield anyone?
Yes, had to google it! !😂🙌
Yup.
That is why I found this and watched the whole film.
It's actually not bad.
It's not great, but enjoyable.
Looks cool
Brb looking for my vhs copy
i liked it
Now it's Ghost Mall
Uhhh that's not right Killbots is rated R
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Must've been the original rating before the final editing of the movie.

Meh over rated
Rated PG. PG!?
That's the trailer for Top Gun. Killbots is Rated R.
What's the trailer for Top Gun got to do with this movie though?
Exactly
A make out movie
Oh a cheap ripoff of Terminator without The Terminator being in human form
It could be the unofficial Terminator spin off just like kurt russel soldier that become unofficial blade runner spin off
