Mr. Jackman's anti-robot agenda has been clear for some time now. This kind of intolerance should not be tolerated in this day and age.

Are you kidding me!? Personally, I applaud Mr. Jackman for displaying the gravitas to make such a movie that sheds light on a little known issue plagueing society. For far too long, cold hearted, emotion less robots have stolen the spotlight from prizefighters, leaving them w/o the means to put food on the table for their families. These robots might not have been programmed to feel pain, but after Jackman is done w/ them, they WILL know pain.

Did you guys catch the youtube video before they took it down? The one where Jackman is caught on tape, drunk, and screaming obscenities about how robots are the source of all society's problems?

Yep. That bastard is a true blood anti-Robite, man! And then all that disrespectful trash he had to say about Wall-E was entirely uncalled for. And unpatriotic, if you ask me. "His mama named him Johnny 5. I'm gonna call him Johnny 5!"

Its funny because upon reading the synopsis for this movie I thought they were trying to make a movie based on Rock'em Sock'em robots. Wouldn't anything past hollywood at this point.

He's going to be sorry when Skynet comes online.

Looks to be like one of the ALLIED ARTISTS lobby-cards from the 1940s I just posted:
THE FLYING MISSLE
or AIR CADET
(I love those movies though)

A Rocky movie involving robots, I should live so long. A.I. and Blade Runner with another twist from the Twilight Zone possibly.

Oh boy...
This makes me think about the 80's movie Robot Jox.
It's a Mechwarrior type of movie, set in the future.
Remember really liking it as a kid; reminded me of Robotech somewhat.

They should remake it some time, I'm sure it could use it.

GTFS, if it wasn't for your rambling, incoherent posts, I wouldn't frequent nearly every article that RT posts. Since you've come 'round, my enjoyment of the site has tripled.

Rock'em Sock'em Jackman! Maybe they could get Russell Crowe to play one of them too, that'd be sweet!
