If they had a Robocop statue in Detroit, I'd have a reason to visit there....But to be fair, I've never been there so I don't know what I'm missing. I've been to Jackson though, and that place sucks. (Yes I know they're two totally different cities, that's just the one that I've been to in Michigan.)
It should be Bing's prime directive to build the statue for the people.
to be fair it would be stolen or burnt to the ground in a matter of hours.
everything you just said.:buttrock:Quote:

Yes and make a show about your stray dog epidemic too, Detroit!
:very_ang:
Would ya'll be pissed if they decided to erect the statue and when the pull the covers off it ends up being the Robocop from "Be Kind Rewind"?
"I know robot karate"
You pretty much summed up what I was thinking. This needs to happen.Quote:

They should have an ED209 statue too.
Probably would be vandalized the by the same time the next day too.

Detroit didn't run itself to the ground from politicians making sound judgment. But then again, honoring Robocop is like slapping their own police force in the face.
Meh, maybe their police force needs a bettering about the face.Quote:

We already have a statue synonymous with Detroit, the Joe Lewis fist:buttrock:

On a semi-related note, Duke just signed junior five-star prospect ALEX MURPHY.
And yes, I think Detroit should have a RoboCop statue.
I am kind of let down.....
When I saw the thread, I thought it was about a Robocop Statute...
And that's just what the Motor City needs... A robocop Statute.
hahahaQuote:

That would be excellent.Quote:

So.. they'll let the Rehabs in, but not Robocop?Quote:
The city will offer 200 tax-foreclosed homes to police officers who will be able to buy them for $1,000 and then get $150,000 in federal grants to rehab them.
Someone find a hand cannon and a fucking jetpack. I'm heading up there.. NOW.

Fuck the statue, that hell hole needs the REAL thing for goodness sake, all we need is for some poor soul to volunteer. Now that I'll buy for a dollar.
Looks like the statue might go up after all. :D
Story here.
Who was that one member with grammar like a fourth grader who kept telling us there was a high-class part of Detroit, which is where this big tymer lived, and that we shouldn't talk shit about it? Was that metalczar? Or am I totally off?
Ferndale and Royal Oak are nice suburbs of Detroit. There are really shitty parts bu there are also good parts. There has to be a high class part because there's a lambo dealership out there
Detroit has a cancer, that cancer is crime!
Dick Jones has the answer - "ED 209"

I can see why the mayor would be against it. It would be a seven foot tall admission of defeat. But it's a little unrealistic to think Detroit's image could be any worse.

Fuck that guy.
You'd think he'd never want people to bring up Buckaroo Banzai...Quote:

Not only should they erect Robo and ED-209 statues, but I want a mural of my Av to go along with it. Plus, they should have RoboCop day at Comerica Park where folks dressed in cosplay from the franchise get into a Tigers game for free.
Make all of this happen, Detroit. Give American pop culture something to really be proud of, not Miguel Cabrera's annual drunken outburst.
I've been a fan of the movie since I was a kid, even own it. The movie itself is NOT a good movie, watching it is fun and it's about as off-the-wall as you can get. But just because it's a cult classic ( a hand handful of people adore it) does not automatically mean it's a good movie.Quote:
