Robocop was the closest thing we had to an Iron Man movie until the real thing came along a couple of decades later, so this seems like a natural combination to me. Watching these two in action side by side would make for a fun summertime flick.

I agree, Ross. Especially if Arno Stark was the Chief Bad Guy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a real museum piece. No Iron Man in RoboCop's time? I'm shelled shocked.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Good one. :-)
DeleteOne of my favorite Science Fiction movies. I also remember Robocop started a debate about why Marvel did not attempt to bring back Deathlok the Demolisher at the time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe for the same reason that STF #4841 hasn't been posted, yet. Some kind of temporal interference by Skynet!
DeleteThat would certainly tie-in quite nicely with STF #2435 (Dec. 2018), STF #1162 (June 2015) and maybe even STF #4839 (via a future confrontation between the Terminator and Old Man Hulk)!

DeleteDon't forget about Exo-Man. For one night in '77 we thought we were witnessing the dawn of liveaction armored heroes and villains finally. To us it even made the Avengers finally seem possible thanks to already having Ferigno-Hulk, size-changing FX (the Incredible Shrinking Man & the Amazing Collosal Man on Sunday repeats, and Dr. Shrinker), and Thor being literally just a viking with electricty FX and a wind machine. But then I thought the Lost Saucer and Far Out Space Nuts would also soon give us the Golden Avenger, so what did I know? What optimistic souls we were.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1980's, I thought EXO-MAN might also serve as a backdoor introduction to the X-men. Seeing as how the title character's girlfriend was named Emily Frost (played by Anne Schedeen)!
DeleteIf nothing else, the title character's armor could also have served as the prototype for Mandroid suits in David Hasselhoff's version of SHIELD.
