Terminator vs Robocop


Rank the terminator films against the robocop films, here are my rankings:

1. The Terminator (1984)
2. Robocop (1987)
3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
4. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
5. Robocop 2 (1990)
6. Robocop (2014)
7. Terminator Genysis (2015)
8. Terminator Salvation (2009)
9. Robocop 3 (1993)

So yeah the Terminator franchise for me wins hands down

I'd put Robocop 2 above T3, personally, if only for the amusing work of Tom Noonan and Will Pugh.

reply

Both T3 and R2 are entertaining ways to pass the time but I think I give T3 a slight nudge

reply

Here I thought you were going to discuss a possible crossover movie.

reply

Same. And if it was a matchup it's really tough..The terminator from part one against robocop before his Humanization level turned down..That would be easy. Terminator all the way. Now If you were to put the T2 Terminator against that same Robocop..Robocop ftw. Because T2 was pussified by john connor.

Of course one could make the argument that Robocop would defeat any terminator because Humans Seem to be able to handle T1 pretty good. Sarah was a true girly girl in Terminator 1 and even she survives. Sarah was jacked and i am pretty sure grew a dick in T2 and would destroy the terminator in T1 in my opinion. Naturally robocop would do the same.

reply

Same. I remember buying the Robocop vs Terminator comic books in the 90s. The idea of it actually becoming a movie seemed far fetched at the time but isn't so much now.

reply

I liked the video game crossover.

Now that I've seen Dark Fate this is my update:

1. The Terminator (1984)
2. Robocop (1987)
3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
4. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
5. Robocop 2 (1990)
6. Robocop (2014)
7. Terminator: Genysis (2015)
8. Terminator: Salvation (2009)
9. Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
10. Robocop 3 (1993)

As much as I hate Dark Fate for how bland, generic and woke it is, nothing will ever be as bad as Robocop 3.

reply

I like the Terminator better. I like the parts of Robocop that focus on the title character but the stupid comedic news reports and ads bring it down imo. I'd give it a 7/10 because of that.

reply

The Terminator is just a scifi action movie, Robocop is much more clever and has substance beyond the usual action stuff, so I prefer Robocop. Its Verhoeven's masterpiece and one of the best movies of the 80's. I do like the first Terminator as well, though. Don't care much of the rest of your list. The chick terminator in T3 had a nice butt.

1. The Terminator (1984)
2. Robocop (1987)
3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
4. Robocop 2 (1990)
5. Robocop (2014)
6. Terminator Salvation (2009)

Robocop (2014) would score higher if it had more blood and showed the result of the violence more. It was to sanitised to recognise what was at stake.

I think the franchises are tied based on this...

reply

Terminator 1 and 2-10/10
Robocop-8/10
Robocop 2-7/10
Terminator 3-7/10
Terminator Genisys-6/10 though unlike others I find it really entertaining.
Terminator Salvation-4/10-I wanted a future War movie but this was not how I wanted it done. The whole Marcus storyline was dumb. Young Kyle Reese was too lighthearted in character and acting.

The machines looked too much like Transformers. And too much of it was filmed in the daytime. Kyle says in the first one that if they traveled outside it was always at night and in this he and the others traveled durring the day. Also not enough scenes with John Connor.

I refused to ever see Dark Fate, the Robocop remake, or Robocop 3.

reply

"I refused to ever see Dark Fate, the Robocop remake, or Robocop 3."

Same, except I refused on Genisesys as well.

reply

I have wanted that concept of a Terminator protecting Reese and Kyle from another Terminator since I was a boy. Though I admit I wasn't fond of what they did with John Connor in the movie. And well, I admit the screenplay gets to be a mess once they time travel to 2016 or whatever it was. Technically John, being a cyborg or not ,shouldn't be able to exist at that point.

reply

All I want is that dark, dirty future shown in the first two Terminators. I don't care if its low budget. Just get a young passionate director to create that world.

Robots vs humans.

reply

Me too, though I'll also take a Robocop Vs. the Terminator movie.

reply

Robocop remake was harmless for the most part even though it was a waste of time.

Dark Fate and Robocop 3 are fcking horrible
