more Westworld talk

[Mikey]

Was just watching Westworld last night and found a few flaws ... not sure if these were mentioned before ....

Yule tracks Richard Benjamin's horse's hoof prints with his infrared tracking (like he tracks Benjamin's shoes) .... except the horse is a robot and should not leave infrared tracks ...
They even mentioned the guns will not shoot anything warm blooded.

Ok, a robot can't kill a guest ...
What if (in Medieval World) a guest stabs another guest with a sword ? ... perhaps thinking he's a robot.

Brolin mentions the only way to tell if someone is a robot is by looking at their hands ... Didn't he notice they all have silver glowing eyes ?

Why even make a Roman world ?
Nobody would go there -- as a matter of fact the movie hardly even showed it except when Yul was chasing Benjamin.

Back to the horses ...
The horses are clearly light enough that 2 men can easily carry a "dead" one.
Would a horse this light actually not topple over if a guy jumped on it and rode it ? ... Seems these would be crazy top-heavy.

It seems hard to believe such an exclusive park like this would fix and send out the same dead robots every new day... Wouldn't that take away from the illusion and make the guests laugh ?
At least put them in other "worlds" every new day so nobody notices.

"Sex models" ...
Would you pay $1000.00 a day to "do it" with a robot ?

Note to self: --- when rebuilding Westworld put door handles on the control room doors.

just a few off the top of my head

Hmmmm....

I'll give 'em a try!

>the horse is a robot and should not leave infrared tracks

....but it's heavy, so compression creates heat on the ground

>Didn't he notice they all have silver glowing eyes ?

Apparently not. Or he was raised by bats and doesn't consider such affectations unusual.

>Why even make a Roman world ?

Ever see "Caligula?"

>Seems these would be crazy top-heavy.

All the weight's in the feet 'cos of the walking mechanism. (So my first answer holds up.)

>What if (in Medieval World) a guest stabs another guest with a sword ?

They have a HUGE contract you gotta sign before going in, and a crack legal department to protect them from liabilities.

>when rebuilding Westworld put door handles on the control room doors.

HAW!

is Futureworld a sequel to this?

I never seen it but heard it's really lousy

They way I understand it Futureworld isn't really a direct sequel ... more of a different situation with the same kind of robots.

"Sex models" ...

Depends...is it life like and resembles Jessica Alba or that chick from GI Joe made up to look like the Baroness?

is Futureworld a sequel to this?

Yep!

yup,roman orgies...
Also I had heard there were plans to make other worlds movies like west world and future world but it never happened.

Why not,depends on what it can do...

Here's a weird trivia, I read Westworld was actually made into a short lived TV series in the early 80's.

[fallensaviour]

Yes it was called Beyond Westworld heres a tv promo.

So it's a fembots ripoff

That sounds like it would get very boring quickly

Don't they actually do this in Japan?

[HardyGirl]

I love both of those movies.

[kryptosmaster]

Two movies on my "someday" DVD buy list.
I remember Futureworld as a kid but didn't see Westworld until about 10 years ago.

I have very fond memories of Westworld.

My older brother took me to see it in the theatre when it first came out.

I still remember being startled and scared when Yul came back after being burned

Written by Micheal Criton (hope I spelled name right.) of Andromeda Strain fame. Man could that guy write. Despite flaws it was classic. Maybe they should have done the theme park on an island. Then they could contain the problem when the computers go amuck. Just like Jurassic Park.... Wait a minute!!!
