BAD MOTHER CRUSHER

In the run up to screening the super shitty RoboCop TV series, ITV ran an incredibly neutered edit of the 1987 original. All the cursing was out, replaced with a series of non sequiturs and bizarro tough guy talk. I suppose the idea was to prime kiddies for the new show without stinking up their vocabulary. I can't imagine much of the violence was deleted - children eat that shit up. Most of the swear word alternatives make it into the above clip, apparently assembled from multiple network television dilutions. The only one not included that sticks with me is Kurtwood Smith suddenly becoming helium squeaky during Boddicker's coke den shakedown. Smith, all swagger and Chipmunk intonation, describes how he intends to shove narcotics up his rivals nose until the gentleman in question sneezes and sneezes and sneezes. There's a chance my memory invented that one.
