This movie is basically two movies in one. The first half focuses on how the guests interact with the robots. The second half is a run-for-your-life-from-the-terminator plot that is surprisingly well done. It never gets old re-watching it. You can't say that about the endless chase scenes in Terminator or worse, T2.

Bit o' trivia: Majel Barrett-Roddenbury is the hostess in the saloon.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/

I’ve got a bald head, my name is Yule Brenner, and I am a famous movie star
Perhaps you saw me in "West World"
I acted like a robotic cowboy
It was my best role, I can’t deny I feel better deep inside an electronic carcass

No, no we don't care about that in the least. We are proud of our stupidity. We trumpet it on web pages for public consumption. For example, I think the film being discussed is actually Dark Victory, (not the one with Bette Davis, but the 1976 TV remake with Elizabeth Montgomery and Anthony Hopkins). That would explain the presence of Yul Brynner, which was Anthony Hopkins' stage name during his early career - before he made a name for himself playing Hannibal Lecter and could get away with using his own name (which is actually John Mellencamp), because that's what making a name for yourself means.

I hope that was helpful. As for what is going on in this world, a gradual decline into savagery and barbarism. Enjoy!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/movie-gadget-friday-robot-gunslinger-from-westworld/Pretty good movie though, saying Predator owes a lot to it might be stretching it a tad though, it surely wasn't the first lone stalker movie (Peck/Mitchum Cape Fear?? and probably earlier ones - not sci-fi tho'). I'd have gone to medieval world myself.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM
