Robert Cop: The Movie is a concept, for lack of a better word, which isn't exactly a straight promotional idea to make a movie, though in a way it is, but at the same time, it is a statement. It is not only a parody of Robocop AND Robert Cop, it is a parody of Hollywood itself, as well as a vehicle for telling a strange an unusual story based on the idiotic characters that were 'invented' by the bootleggers. It involves not only Robert Cop, but many of the other named Robocop bootlegs, and composites them into a fictional universe of parody, satire, fun, insanity and what some might write off as 'fan fiction' but is a step beyond it. It is taking 'fan fiction' to a higher level of insanity. It is memetic fan fiction with an aim to produce and entertain even more of it.
Robert Cop represents everything from that which is artificial and absurd, to how the artificial and absurd is entering into every facet of our lives. It is the nostalgia of unusual rip-offs of Robocop from movies, television shows, other action figure franchises, but also a commentary upon how this sort of trend occurs. Through the 'story' of Robert Cop, we will explore all these ideas and more. From Japanese live action future cops to the cheap and lackluster takeoffs of Robocop within the Robocop Franchise itself. It is in total embrace of the insanity that was the Original Robocop, but also the many bizarre things that came in its wake. I hope you take this journey with me, as it will be hopefully fun, entertaining, enlightening, nostalgic, and is open-ended, it could go anywhere...
So is Robert Cop: The Movie fake? Yes and no. Robert Cop: The Movie in its current stage is fake. Ray Liotta has not been hired to make Robert Cop: The Movie. Nor has Laurence Labeouf. However we imagine that they could be. If Robert Cop: The Movie were to become a reality. There are many ways in which Robert Cop: The Movie could become a reality. As have many unsual things become reality in this new and bizarre future we live in, Robert Cop could very well become a movie, but that depends on its strength as a meme, as an idea, and as this form of entertainment we are presenting to you. We hope you engage and enjoy it, for its ultimate motives are positive and crazy, and hopefully something needed in this day and age.
