As you will soon be aware, that website doesn't let you post their pics elsewhere.

I assume you were referring to this movie:

The Ultimate Warrior

Uh, I'm talking about "Westworld", genius.

For those with HDnet, Westworld has been playing this month.

Blu Titan · 04-11-2008, 10:26 PM

I have never seen the movie, but it may be worth a look?

If you're referring to "Westworld", here's the synopsis:

Writer/director Michael Crichton made his debut with "Westworld", dubbed a futuristic "Disneyland for adults", a remote resort island where, for a hefty fee, one can indulge in one's wildest fantasies, either in Rome World, Medieval World, or Westworld. Businessmen James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are just crazy about the old west, thus they head to the section of Westworld populated by robot desperadoes, robot lawmen, robot dance-hall gals, and the like. Benjamin's first inkling that something is amiss occurs when, during a mock showdown with robot gunslinger Yul Brynner, Brolin is shot and killed for real. It seems that the "nerve center" of Westworld has developed several serious technical glitches: the human staff is dead, and the robots are running amok, ignoring their original programming. Suddenly promoted to the film's hero, Richard Benjamin (who seems as surprised and shocked as the audience) must first avoid, then face down the relentless Brynner.

If you're referring to "Soylent Green", here's the synopsis:

In 2022, New York City is a town bursting at the seams with a 40-million-plus population. Food is in short supply, and most of the population's food source comes from synthetics manufactured in local factories -- the dinner selections being a choice between Soylent Blue, Soylent Yellow, or Soylent Green. When William Simonson (Joseph Cotten), an upper-echelon executive in the Soylent Company, is found murdered, police detective Thorn (Charlton Heston) is sent in to investigate the case. Helping him out researching the case is Thorn's old friend Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson, in his final film role). As they investigate the environs of a succession of mad-from-hunger New Yorkers and the luxuriously rich digs of the lucky few, Thorn uncovers the terrible truth about the real ingredients of Soylent Green.

I think they are remaking Westworld to be released next year.

ya im sure there going to release this for maybe 2 or 3 of you, give me a break

ajc68 · 04-13-2008, 07:22 AM

I just saw Westworld for the first time in years on HD Movie Net the other day. It's okay, kind of a cult classic. There will be a remake in the theaters next year and I'm sure that means the original will be re-issued either when the movie comes out or when the home video is released.

Quad · 04-13-2008, 12:51 PM

I still remember the ad..

"Westworld: Where nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong..."

Got it on DVD, hope it makes it to BD, avoid the sequel Futureworld. Would enjoy seeing The Ultimate Warrior again, not very good but fun in a B movie sort of way.

Except that Warner doesn't own FW, that's an American Int'l picture (and looks like one), for who ever owns AI at the moment.
(Who does, anyway, now that MGM went up for grabs?--Think they lost the rights.)
