Late spring has been a very fluid time for Bad Movie Night. There's probably an ice-melting metaphor in there somewhere, I want you to work on it. The Turkish Star Trek remake came a week after Fan Remake Night. Then we segued into a night that saw Leonard Nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins. Then a bunch of other stuff happened that worked out quite well. Trust me. And now RoboCop gets deconstructed by two movies.
I'm told that's not what deconstruction is. Well, if Robo Vampire sounds familiar it's because I was going to show it three years ago. Looks like we watched Scorpion Thunderbolt instead.
Both of those movies are by Godfrey Ho. He's second only to John Carpenter in the amount of movies a director has at BMN, 6 to 7. Wes Craven and Larry Cohen have horses in that race too but they forgot to make a kerbillion cut-and-paste, Asian-side/American-side movies. Wait, does Music of the Heart fit that description?
