Movie Face-off: Robocop or The Terminator

Not even a contest.

 

[ehtheist]

Comic Robocop VS Comic Terminator makes this a contest, and I even favour Robocop in that... Movies? Terminator takes the majority. Fewer weak points and oddly less robotic than Robocop, who is probably too busy picking up explosive kids for using marijuana to notice Terminator walk up and blast him.

Terminator easily but Robocop was great too.

 

[Archie Goodwin]

How is this even a contest? LOL!

It seems I am the only one who voted for RoboCop hehehe

Always thought it was a much better movie than The Terminator. Terminator 2 is a different story.

 

[neverwas]

there is something very wrong with that robocop trailer.

 

[Ibis]

In this one, Robocop is literally a can.

Terminator > Terminator 2 > RoboCop > Most other stuff from the same time

Imo

Terminators alright but Robocop is a perfect cheesy 80' s action movie

Terminator franchise is an in your face action movie. Verhoeven films tend to have social/political undertones without sacrificing entertainment value.

Robocop FTW.

Robocop is a much more competent movie imo. If Cameron didn't have the dumb luck to cast arnold, it wouldn't carry the status it does. The cast of robocop is a bunch of c-list character actors and it still ends up being a great film. Verhoeven had such a great run in Hollywood. He made some of my favorite movies

Termintaor via KO

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I don't know if this is a landslide victory for a terminator.

What makes everyone so sure that it would be one sided.


And how does a Higher level Predator fare against these two characters?

 

[Mike]

Terminator by vicious and early head kick ko. Robocop is great. Terminator is one of the best sci fi movies of all time though. Robocop would beat a lot of movies, but not terminator.

 

[Adamant]

Robocop was cool. But Terminator wins this, hands down.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Robocop will win the contest with the vast, vast majority of films it is pitted against.

But this isn't even close.

The Terminator is the Godfather of action films.

 

[irish_thug]

Robocop for accurately predicting what would happen to Detroit.

 

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

Terminator punches Robocop in the mouth killing him instantly.

Robocop FTW.

Verhoeven political satire is funny when he does it right, but it's also about as subtle as a rocket launcher from the ED-209.

I found that watching a killing robot develop human feelings over the course of 2 hours in T2 was a substantially more meaningful experience than all of the commercials in Robocop and Total Recall combined.

Verhoeven's great when he's on his game. But the reason the Terminator is remembered as a great action film is because it transcended action entirely.
