Beginning this week, Blackgeekdom will highlight one year for its scifi and comic releases. This week we will highlight 1987. The year sparked the beginning of one franchise, and the crash and burn of another. There were some classic comic book releases, and some innovations in scifi on television. Feel free to share your memories of this year, if you are old enough to have any, or maybe you just want to forget the year altogether.
We will kick off today with a movie. Now a cult classic, this Oscar winning movie ( no really, it had three nominations and one win) took law enforcement to the next level. Robocop was marred by by not only two movies, but several failed attempts to be made into a successful video game franchise. However, the movie stands alone as a vision of the future which isn’t that far fetched. This is the original theatrical trailer.
