WEST WORLD

WEST WORLD-

It is the original "Jurassic Park" both were written by Michael Crichton, any movie with the tagline : "What can possibly go wrong?" is a must see for me!

Rich people in the near future can live out their fantasies by taking their vacations at an amusement park with different time periods as themes. The best part of this amusement park is that you get to participate in gun fights in the old west , a sword fight in medieval Europe and an orgy in ancient Greece!

Richard Benjamin and James Brolin are 2 yuppies who checked into the Westworld. living in the old west, drinking with robot bartenders, sleeping with android hookers and picking gun fights with fake gun slingers.

So what went wrong? Westworld is all under control by a staff and computers the size of a warehouse. The computer crashes and causing chaos throughout the amusement park. The tech staff were all suffocated to death, while the tourist were brutally murdered by the robotic staff.

Yul Brenner plays the robotic Cowboy that has it out for Richard Benjamin. Basically Brenner is the 70's version of the Terminator, you shoot at him, set him on fire, freezes him , nothing can stop him, even left to just one little piece of metal he's still out to kill.

Richard Benjamin is pretty good as the whimpy 70's yuppie doing the "City Slickers" -thing. The thick marlboroman mustache and his whiny personality looks hilarious in a cowboy get up, especially the scene where he courageously kills the Brenner android as he was just coming out of the bath wearing only a holster and a towel!!

Best gag about this movie is when you see the robots are revealed once you remove the face from its head, at first it's a pretty scary looking effect. Later the same gag was used again as the famous Fembots on the Bionic Woman TV show in 1977.
