Rob - you're wrong. This is from the movie version of "How I met your mother," where they redo Season5, Episode22, "Robots Vs. Wrestlers". Here, the part of "Barney" is played by Hugh Jackman. In this scene, Barney is telling the Robot that this is the best thing ever and he needs to get back in there and win one for The Gipper (JK)
-
You realize this movie has a big "ain't that a twist" moment, right?
-
so you like Tron...but hate this? No.
-
Twilightzone Steel, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734623/ great episode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_(The_Twilight_Zone)
-
I'm pretty sure the Twilight Zone episode was called "Steel." Lee Marvin impersonates a robot in a boxing match, and gets beaten to a pulp. Worth looking into.
-
Maybe a whole bunch of syntax being typed out to "Eye of the Tiger"? Or maybe the robot's future brother-in-law works at a junk yard and he'll be punching like scrap cars and shit. And... now that fuckin' song is stuck in my head.
-
Dammit Bricken! Don't even act like yer not totally stoked for this movie. Even a little bit?
-
What's sad is that is probably true.
-
When you're stealing ideas from The Simpsons, ergo the most tired show on television, there is clearly something wrong with you.
-
"Jackman on.....Jackman off"
-
Will this site provide the ring girls?
-
"Women....weaken....processors."
-
Seriously? WTF?!
-
I don't know why, but from the title and the picture, the words "Magnus: Robot Fighter" popped in my head. Such wishful thinking on my part.
-
If this has a similar look and feel to the Speed Racer movie it might be enjoyable. it's a lot easier to swallow a silly concept when the film itself is in on the joke. If they insist on trying to take this seriously and make it into a "comeback kid" sports drama it's going to be completely painful to watch.
-
Robot Jox: The Prequel? Excellent.
-
Well, sounds like it could be fun. I need something to tide me over until we finally get a Battle Angel Alita movie.
-
i just hope hugh jackman doesnt have to pretend to be the robot in the final match. he might not make it!!
-
He's a wrecken' machine!!!
-
Shawshank reference? Booooooo.....
-
The opponent is "Bisho Jo", a pretty girl robot covered in pink sequins.
-
I just hope they include the line: "Kid I'll have ya eatin Circuit Boards and Crappin Electricity!"
-
I won't take that bet!
-
I already saw this episode of Futurama. Bender wins. Kinda.
-
Wow, wish I could've been at the meeting when they phoned this one in. "No, really, it'll be fantastic! A heart-warming, gut-wrenching look at life after the glory days, a man's last chance to reconnect with his estranged son...and robots! It'll have robots. Boxing robots." ...At least no one's going to get peed on by a robot-boxer...probably.
-
Wasn't this an episode of Twilight Zone?
-
I wonder if any of the fighting robots will be... topless
-
Looks about as sofisticated as Tron.... and that's not an insult.
-
] I wish I could tell you that X-1141 fought the good fight, and the Crushinator let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but X-treme robo fighting is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - robo fighting life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Crushinator kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for X-1141 - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.
-
WHAT?
-
Maybe he'll get Big Boss to ban us from his site for this little joke.
-
Why are you laughing? To the fact that there is at least an original (althought based on a Matheson short story) movie and not some crappy remake/reboot/sequel? Most of big movies are terrible these days and you judge from one (obviously photoshoped) photo and one-line synopsis? I was lucky to read the script and trust me, you wouldn´t laugh if you read it. It´s good, really, really good.
-
I believe a "caption this poster" contest is in order.
-
Why would you have to train a robot. Are there going to be extensive scenes of Hugh Jackman and son programming a robot?
-
Someone needs to fire their agent.
-
Is this a real thing?
-
I was gonna ask the same thing. How badass is this thing supposed to be if he has DANSHI written on his arm. What's the opponent? JOSEI? Maybe it's the owner... And why am I caring so much?
-
The 男子 on his arm means "young man" or "boy" Is his child inside that robot?
-
That sound was all of the Topless Robot viewers simultaneously sighing.
-
If the former boxer's name is also Wolverine, I may watch it (I mean, it couldn't be worse than the first Wolverine movie, right?). I'll wait to see if he pops the claws in the trailer.
-
Whoa. This is gonna be soooo... so... you know, JediCreeper said it best: "We hate what we love and we love what we hate". I have a hunch I'll just love this movie! This has to be true hate-hence-love material!
-
will have to check it out mostly to see how Hugh manages to get his robot to work. plus this is just him killing time till he returns to another Wolverine and xmen movies
-
Million Dollar Baby 2: After the Robot Apocalypse
-
Sounds like a movie adaption of the VirtualBoy-Game "Teleroboxer". Heck, the Robot in the Pic is already Red/Black, so this has to be a hint!
-
Yeah it's a good twilight zone episode and I have a radio play that's pretty cool that's the same story. Is it movie worthy, I don't know but I'll check it out.
-
Oh lordy, I do hope an uppercut will cause the robot's head to ratchet up a couple feet.
-
$10 says this is the logical sequel to Rocky 4, featuring Paulie's robot.
-
$10 says this was originally an adaptation of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
-
You beat me to it.
-
Is he a pro robot hacker working on magical boxes on a monitor?
-
It'll probably have more robot fighting than the first Bayformers movie.
-
I hope there's no mechanical micheal buffert, he'll come and sue you for saying his catch phrase.
-
There was a twilight Zone episode like this, and it wasn't too bad. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
-
The robot needs to be voiced by Morgan Freeman. Just because.
-
There better be a mechanical Michael Buffer!
-
This is just terrible enough to make it interesting for me.
-
Learning to build fully functional hand to hand combat robots is just one of the many skills you learn while being a professional boxer. I'm assuming that's why they call it the "sweet science" afterall.
-
Let's get ready to rrrummmmblle!
-
and I just died a little bit inside...
-
Maybe if I was a kid this wouldn't seem as cheesy as it is.
