I saw Crichton's Westworld in the theater when it came out in '73. I was 13 years old at the time. It was enormous fun, and I loved how Yul Brynner played the robot gunfighter who was based on his character Chris from The Magnificent Seven, one of my favorite movies. Brilliant casting. Twenty years later, Crichton teamed up with Stephen Spielberg to produce Jurassic Park, and that theme park's entire IT department consisted of a single guy named Nedry, played by Wayne Knight, the same actor who played Newman in Seinfeld. Completely absurd. Based on IT realism alone, Westworld is the better movie.
I saw this recently, very good movie, also you can sorta see the seeds of Jurassic Park, and the climax has abut of a terminator feel to it, not that Crichton wrote that movie but is kind of a similar idea
Yeah, I agree there is a HUGE Terminator feel to it, and one can argue that Terminator was at least partly inspired by the whole chase with Brynner. A relentless Android that won't stop until you're dead. Mostly silent.... and without showing of any emotion.
If you go to IMDB and look at Ed Neumeier's filmography as a screenwriter it's basically "Robocop, Robocop, Robocop, Robocop, Starship Troopers, Robocop, Robocop, Robocop, Robocop."
This movie blew my mind when I saw it on TV back in the 70's.
Great movie and that 3rd act is still suspenseful as you like
Ed Neumeier!! :-) I robolove you!!!

"If they ever remake this movie.."
Yeah, about that :)
"Where nothing can possibly go wrong...
go wrong...
go wrong..."
My taste-free kid brother was obsessed with this film, which is why I never saw it. Perhaps I should give it a chance.

Michael Crichton is a genius.
really good movie
First movie ever to use CGI effects.
The captions interpret "Robocop" as "retro cop".
They made it into a TV show for HBO
Westworld is so 1970s but Robocop is eternal.
Indeed!
I never thought it was a great sf movie, but it is very good . maybe a b+
Remaking this? Haha nono that will never work!
It was a goodie….
Say what you like about Disney World; at least they let you out alive!🤠
"I basically just made this video to tell people i wrote robocop. Did i mention i wrote robocop Becuse is did. Wrote Robocop that is!"
Actually I think he didn't say it enough times! ;) If Ed could write a script like RoboCop, for me he can talk about it forever
Are we just a little envious? Ignorant? Or petty...
