Robocop 3 used a KR prop

Post by Knight Racer » Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:47 am

I was watching the Robocop 3 movie and found a prop used in the semi around season 3/4.

Nick Nugent once told me that they also used the tech briefcase from kr too.Not sure what episode its from.I guessed knight of the drones but he said it wasn't that.Its nice to know props don't get mothballed up forever.Some are used decades later.

I swear I've seen those white lights with the doom above his head, too. Maybe someStar Trek spin-off.
And when things appeared to get better, they got worse, and everyday was a day to cry.

It could also be used as the president's nuclear football in the event of a retaliation.

Got to love how Hollywood saves money by recycling in any way it can.

Then again, I still remember the Robocop "GPS" prop that dared to do a close up. It was a cardboard printout with a flashy light pressed outwards. Looked really bad.
