A pretty cool follow up to Class of 1984 from the director of Commando and Showdown in Little Tokyo. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-7456027654987738002013-09-04T04:35:56.340-07:002013-09-04T04:35:56.340-07:00I actually own this one (it came in this cool boxe...I actually own this one (it came in this cool boxed set with a couple other silly horror films from the 80's and 90's including CHUD II. Thanks for that link, I will be checking it out!

And the chic...Oh I'll admit, it's so silly. And the chicks in here are so stupid. But that's the charm. It's one of the best "So Bad It's Good" types of films, that's why I love it so much. And yea, the robots do not represent the poster art at all, which always surprises everyone. There's a great article about the guy who did the poster art, Corey Wolfe. Basically it was done before they made the film. They told him the idea of what they had for the film and he made the poster based on what he thought the robots would look like. You can check out that article here: http://manisthewarmestplacetohide.com/blog/interview-chopping-mall-poster-artist-corey-wolfe-plus-archival-treats<br /><br />So yea, I think that it's a silly low budget film from the 80's is why I love it so much. And Wynorski did such a great job filming it and the effects were pretty rad. It's one of the best films to watch with friends. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-33519887258750388062013-08-26T04:37:53.385-07:002013-08-26T04:37:53.385-07:00Rewatched this one a while back, it just seems so ...Rewatched this one a while back, it just seems so silly that these kids all got killed by these clunky robots! You could out run them, you could destroy them easily in all sorts of ways, yet these dumb kids still got killed by them. It was silly fun for sure! I wish the robots had been cooler though...like the one in the poster, sadly nothing resembling that cool robot hand appears in the film! Instead we get those clunky slow moving (yet deadly!) tanks! Ha ha..still, Chopping Mall is a fun silly eighties horror movie in my book. Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
