My main problem with the makeup is the fact they could have done it better. HereÂ´s the explanation: back then, the excuse for the makeup change was time (and money, but they admited they couldnÂ´t fi ...

I've seen parts of 4K upscale of PRIME DIRECTIVES and I think it looks technically better but artistically worse. PD actually benefits from being downscaled to be blurrier and darker via a CRT-style s ...

A lot of older shows have visual problems when shown on a screen that didn't exist or wasn't in common use when that older show was first made. Your descriptions of the makeup on the 60s BATMAN show a ...

I believe the use of SERIES footage was simply due to time and budget. It's largely in the Medianet sequences, but also in DARK JUSTICE for a shot of RoboCop's foot hitting the ground and then RoboCop ...

That's an interesting approach. I'd be curious to see your results in 2050. I personally think that PRIME DIRECTIVES was made for 2000 and under peculiar circumstances; I'm not sure a new coat of pain ...

Still to this day i can see the occasional facebook post by the director where he praises PD and seems genuinely proud of the product they made. I doubt anyone involved in RoboCop 2014 feels the same ...

Eden said in a STARBURST interview that the suit itself weighed 95 pounds and that the helmet was another 25.

Eden's official explanation for his absence from PRIME DIRECTIVES: "I was approached to reprise the role for the PRIME DIRECTIVES mini-series, but I was getting busy with screen writing projects ...
