Personally I grew up watching Robocop all the time! Kinda cool to see the filming places in real life!
BTW 13:24 - IK where we are at! We are near GTOger's Parking lot! XD I remember him showing that in his tour of his neighborhood! #DrumBeatsNation
Also 16:38, gotta love how For the Longest Time is running!
Glad you enjoyed our video! Robocop is an awesome movie for sure!! Thanks for stopping by our channel.
Your move creep😂
@@Our80sLife not a patch on the remake 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
You aren't seeing them in real life? You're still seeing them on screen. To see something 'in real life' you physically have to be there & see it.
finally someone covered the Robocop movies love it!!!
Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed our video :)
"I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake."
I’d buy that for a dollar!
😁🤣😩
I think this is the best Robocop filming locations video I've seen so far.
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed our video! 😊
Still one of my favourite films, the quality of the graphics for a film if it’s day is amazing
Agreed. It's fantastic!! Thanks for watching our video Shane!
@@Our80sLife Really enjoyed it, seeing a couple explaining everything also makes it better, I’ve seen a few single people doing similar videos but you 2 seem to have a brilliant connection ❤️
Someone give this man a Oscar for holding that fake smile for so long. Cheers buddy.
Thanks Bro...
LOL
Great video. I used to live in Oklahoma City back in the 1980s when I was a kid, and every once in a while we would go to Dallas. I have no idea which building it was in Dallas, but in one of them I remember they had a life-size Robocop suit/model. It was pretty awesome, especially for a 7-year-old.
Wow, awesome video. Now I'm going to have to watch Robocop tonight and see all these places. I grew up in the Dallas area and never knew it was filmed here until I was much older.
Cool, thank you!! Same here - grew up in Dallas and had no clue it was filmed there, ha!
@@Our80sLife I watched the movie last night and wanted to ask if you knew what roads or highways Robocop was driving on when he was "patrolling the city."
"Hey man, whatcha reading in there...ahhh ha ha ha...you a college boy or something?" Love that line
This was fascinating! Robocop is one of my favourite movies but living outside of US I had no idea it was all in Texas. Amazing what a good story can distract you from!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! Fun Fact: Robocop II was actually filmed in Houston, Texas. We'll be visiting there later this year and making a video of those filming locations as well. Stay tuned!!
Moved to Dallas in 84 after college, spent a ton of time then in the downtown area. Saw Robocop right when it came out of course, and knew right away all the various filming locations. Very distinctive exterior shots for sure.
Good eye! We read that Dallas was chosen because it had several buildings with a futuristic look. Dallas City Hall is especially distinctive! Thanks for watching our video Neil!
Robocop set to transform the set of Barney and Friends at the Studios at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas
Yes!! I was an extra in the Barney Christmas movie filmed there, ha! 🎄
@11:26 "bitches leave"!!!
Was the iconic line I remember.
I was nine years old when I watched the movie for the first time🤣
Brilliant researched and delightfully presented. Love this movie! You guys really brightened my day.
Aww, thank you so much for that nice comment. We're glad you enjoyed watching our video. It was fun to make!
Robocop was a awesome movie from the 80s my era, it was ahead of it's time, that remake was horrible stay to the original and classic's.
Robocop iconic 80s movie
I’ve been around many of these places and never connected them with RoboCop. Interesting! Thanks!
Me too, until we did the research for this video! Dallas is my hometown, and I didn't even realize it was filmed there. We love hunting down filming locations! Thanks for stopping by our channel Randall :)
Watched this movie when I was 8 years old back in Mexico. It never crossed my mind that I would end up living in Delta City!
Cool video guys! Thanks
Thanks Edgar!
I met Peter Weller back in 2012 when he came to a show with Gabourey Sidibe. I was working the front door, and he comes in and says “I’m Peter Weller, I’m here with the Gabourey Sidibe group”. Y’all, I nearly about had a CONNIPTION. My childhood hero was standing right in front of me. It was so surreal, but he’s really just the nicest guy.
Also, Dallas Native here, so I always love these videos. Went to a show a few years back at Sons of Hermann and was geeking out the whole time because of the RoboCop history. Also, another fun fact: IM Pei was the one that designed Dallas City Hall. He also designed the rock and roll hall of fame building!
Very cool! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Josh! That's amazing that you got to meet Peter Weller, wow!! And we still haven't gotten a chance to step inside Sons of Hermann hall or The Bomb Factory (which I think is trying to change their name to The Factory?!) Anyway, those places are on our list to try and see shows if the opportunity avails itself whenever we're in town. I'm a Dallas native as well, but we've been living in Wichita, Kansas for nearly 20 years, so we only get to visit the DFW area occasionally. Have a great weekend :)
I watched this movie last night, and came here to check out the locations as I watched the movie! Thanks guys!
Awesome!! Hope you enjoyed it! We love RoboCop (and the second movie is also great, which was filmed in Houston.)
Wow. It's amazing how little has changed since then. Would have loved to see the steel mill "then and now"! Awesome throwback!
Thanks! Unfortunately the steel mill has been torn down, but it was located in Pennsylvania (the only filming location that wasn't in Dallas.)
@@Our80sLife Murphys death scene was filmed in a warehouse at long beach, california I believe.
This guy looks like a mix between Dolph Lundgren & Ed O’Neill lol. Love the video guys🙏
LOL!! We get the Dolph Lundgren comment often, but you're the first one to suggest Ed O'Neill, ha ha! Thanks for watching!
0:21 That's my favorite city hall in the whole world, I just love the design of it!!! Robocop is a awesome 80's film. You guys did a great job filming the locations!!
Thanks Rachard! It is truly a unique building. Glad you enjoyed our video 😊
No clue it was filmed in Dallas TX, wow, this was fun, all the different spots, now & then.
That was well put together. Well done.
Thanks so much John!!
Great Job on Robocop filming locations...One of my favorite movies
Thanks!!
Every day when I would arrive from kinder I would watch RoboCop. Thanks 👍 you for this scenes
The BEST part about this video is seeing the two of you actually enjoying EACH OTHER'S COMPANY!!! THAT'S what REAL LOVE IS!!! Congratulations to you BOTH!!!
Aww, thanks Sean! We do have fun together! When we filmed this video back in August, we were celebrating our 25th anniversary with a trip to Dallas! 💖
@@Our80sLife Wow, that's AWESOME!!! For MOST of life I've PRAYED that I would find a beautiful woman that I loved and who loved me equally that was also my best friend! I'm glad to see that it IS "possible"!!!
I live in Dallas and drive down the chase scene road all the time had no clue, how interesting. :D
I loved Robocop & I’m happy you guys made this video!!!
Thanks for watching!
Very good video, it transported me to that wonderful stage of my children when I saw the movie for the first time, it is incredible to see the real locations and how they transform into Robocop's Detroit.Greetings and thanks for the tip.Also friend they have told you that you look like Dolph Lundgren.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!! And yes, we get that a lot lately, ha!
Love your video's, thanks for the tour and 80s memories, watching from South Africa!
Awesome!! Thanks Sandra! I think you're our first viewer from South Africa. Welcome to the party :)
Im scared of heights..
My hands and feet were sweating quite a bit watching your trip up the escalator !
This is really cool! I thought it was really Detroit!
Movie Magic... gotcha! Thanks for watching our video :)
Hahahaha I work right next to the studios! I was even trying to see if I could find my car in the parking lot 😆😆 Great video! Robocop is one of my childhood faves and can't belive I'm working next to where it was filmed inside the studios
That's awesome! Las Colinas is a neat area, lucky you! There have been plenty of other things filmed in those studios too! I've only been inside once... I was an extra on the Barney Christmas movie, lol! It was fun!
Reporter: Robo, excuse me, Robo. Any special message for all the kids watching at home?
RoboCop: Stay out of trouble.
Robocop, a history ever made in the year 1987.
thanks for sharing this all! its really a pleasure to see the places where Robocop/Alex murphy roamed once.......
Very well done thank you! They used so much of Dallas's locations!
Thanks Marco! Yes, we were pleasantly surprised at how many locations they used in Dallas. I think the steel mill is the only location they used that's not there.
marco -- yes i read that detroit had the run down locations that they needed to show in the movie but not the futuristic looking skyscrapers and other buildings so they chose dallas which had both. thanks , the batman.
Thanks for showing Esquire paint pallet! Miss it in Dallas
So cool to see the filming places in real life love pic of now & then great job editing guys enjoyed watching in full Thumbs up have a beautiful day
Thank you so much 🤗
This is one of my absolute favorite filming location videos on TH-cam! I keep returning to it!
That's such a thoughtful comment, thank you!! We're glad you like this video. It's one of our favorites too! Stay tuned because we're planning trips to visit the filming locations for RoboCop 2 & 3!
I hope to one day find the time and money to make a pilgramige to all the shooting locations. Robocop is my all time favorite movie.
Cool! I hope you get to visit Dallas some day. It's a great city (of course, I'm biased being that it's my hometown.) Thanks for watching our video!
Although far away in China, I still watched this movie when I was 10 years old, which laid the foundation for my evaluation of all future movies. This is a sad movie about death and rebirth and self-recovery.
Cool! Thanks for watching our video and sharing your memories!
Born and raised in the DFW, I never realized it was filmed in Dallas. NOICE!
Over 30 years I thought this iconic movie was filmed in Detroit.
Thanks for taking the time out and showing us these locations.
I know, right?! Gotta love that movie magic! Thanks for stopping by our channel :)
Hi guys, I'm Brazilian and I admire your work. Here in Brazil Robocop was very successful and is still on TV today. We Brazilians are passionate fans of American films.🇧🇷😍
That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed our video, thanks for watching! Greetings from the USA!
This has always been my favourite film. I was obsessed with it, growing up. This is the most comprehensive location video I've seen on this film so thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed our video 😊
Quite a few locations here that nobody else shows in their locations videos. Awesome, really enjoyed😎🏴
Thank you!! Some of those places were tough to track down, but it was a fun project for us. Thanks for stopping by our channel!
Yep I saw Elastica back in 95 at the Bomb Factory. The cocaine room lol. Great place.
You are both very pleasant people !!
I'd like to see more of your videos!
Thank you so much! If you enjoy movie and TV filming locations, here's our complete playlist of those videos. Enjoy! th-cam.com/play/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVqrToGD9b0OuwbY3QGOXQD.html
Very impressive all around but matching up the pictures and dissolving them into the current location scene was amazing. Made my night as I was watching the movie. Now if i could just find me one of those 8.5 MPG 6000 SUX!
That's so nice, thank you!! We're really glad you enjoyed our video! It was tedious but fun finding all the places and matching up the pictures. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for upload. Subbed
This was so awesome thank you guys
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our video!!
Gosh, Dallas created such a wonderful backdrop for this movie. Really cool to see then and now of these places.
Totally agree, thanks for watching!!
Awesome. I had some relatives that were "extras" in the movie. I always wanted to see the Starck club...its everything i imagined it was in the pictures. Thanks for an awesome video.
Cool! That must have been a really neat experience being extras! The only time I've ever done that was in the Barney Christmas movie, LOL! RoboCop is WAY cooler! Thanks for watching!!
Barney was taped in the Las Colinas studios. The OCP executive restroom was built in the Colinas studio. Did you take the studio tour?
@@jC-kc4si Yes, Barney was taped at the same studios. They didn't have a tour back then, but I spent the day on-set as an extra. It was a great experience!
Great video guys, well done! Classic movie from the 80's. Grew up watching it. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you very much! Happy New Year!!
You guys rock! I watch a lot of movie location videos and have never seen one on Robocop much less with all the details! Such a classic movie from my childhood. To see the real locations blow my mind. Thank you for the time and effort both of you put in to this video!
Wow, thanks Cameron!! We appreciate your thoughtful comment. Glad you enjoyed our video!
Fun video y'all! I had no idea that any of those movies were filmed in Dallas! Tim has seen all of the Robocop movies I think, but they are not really my cup of tea, so I'm not familiar with them. You guys found a lot of locations and it looks like you guys had fun! Take care and have a wonderful and blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Thanks Stacy! We are behind, having only seen the first Robocop. Definitely planning to watch the sequels in the near future. I can see why you'd say that though... the movie was super gory! It did have a sweet/sad story once you get past all the violence, lol! We had a blast tracking down all the filming locations in my hometown, what fun!
Awesome video,i'm a big fan of the Robocop's movies when i was a child.You also forgot to include the old and iconic steel mill that was located in Pittsburgh if I'm not mistaken was burned to the ground in the late 80's if I'm not mistaken,a location in the film that has always fascinated me since I was a child.Correct me if I'm wrong
Thanks Alex! We only included the Dallas locations in this video having never visited the Pittsburgh area. But according to some of our viewers, it was called Duquesne Steel Works and was located in Duquesne, just outside Pittsburgh. We've been told it was closed in 1984, and I believe it sat derelict for many years before eventually being torn down. Anyway, sorry we don't have much information about the steel mill. Glad you enjoyed our video!
Loved watching this. I'm from the UK and this was always my favourite film. Quite often used to play it over and over again before grabbing my bike to go to secondary school in the morning. Always wanted to see the locations but just a little too expensive for me to travel to Dallas. Keep smiling you two, absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much Mark, glad you enjoyed it! We appreciate your nice comment. All the best, Abby & Keith :)
Robocop is my childhood hero, loved the movies. Thank you for the video, that was awesome!
Thanks Jan!
AKA our 80s life--- your welcome for the comments! your a wonderful couple, just wanted to share a fun film fact with you both, when the director of robocop paul verhoeven was offered the script he read a couple of pages and said " i dont want to make a scifi movie" and put it straight in the waste paper bin, his wife retrieved it shortly after and read the whole script and said to him that he should read the whole thing as this movie has many layers to it! so if it was not for his wifes intervention we would not have got the robocop movie that we all love so much!, also peter weller was interested in this movie not because it was a scifi/action movie but because he saw it as a tragedy with the murphy character, a man torn away from his family, a story from the heart. anyway have a nice day and stay safe. the batman will watch over you. :))
Awesome story! Thanks Batman :)
I did not realize that most of it was shot in Dallas. I knew the "Can you fly Bobby" scene was in Dallas because of the Reunion Tower but just didn't realize the rest was....
Yep, all of the movie, except for the scenes at the steel mill, was filmed in Dallas. So cool! Part 2 was filmed in Houston, and we also have a video for that one if you’re interested. Gotta love that movie magic!
@@Our80sLife yeah I saw that. I have not watched it just yet. Can you fly Bobby? Lol that's one of my favorite lines. Other than "Id buy that for a dollar" 😂😂 I say that all the time
I would like to see the steel mill we're he does the stand off fight
Well, we'd like to have seen it too, but unfortunately it was located in Pennsylvania and was torn down :(
This was so thorough thank you! I love Robocop and knew already several parts, ocp facade, etc were in filmed in Dallas. But until now I had no idea that SO much of it was there and not even a film set/sound stage, just houses, business, etc. That's so cool, Thank you for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
No computers! This was the 80s. It was stop motion and matte paintings.
You're right Todd. I realized that later, thanks for the correction. I'm so used to everything being done with computers these days!
She's adorable. You guys are fun to watch. Keep those smiles shining
That's such a nice comment, thank you!!
Nice to see a then and now, love that movie robocop 2 & 3 not so much LOL
We have some catching up to do... haven't watched the sequels yet!
i love RoboCop 2 almost as much as the first one and it's got some great scenes and Weller is great again. RoboCop 3? Eh... doesn't even have Weller and it's all been toned down to be 'kid-friendly' (though I had the first two on VHS when I was a kid) so what's the point? :P
"I'd by that for a dollar"
Great stuff guys 👍 *subscribed*
Thanks Chuck! Welcome to our channel 😊
I never noticed these locations in robocop until I've been to downtown a few times and rewatched the movie.
I remember them filming here in Dallas. I did not know all these locations. The club they used was also the well known Starck. It was the Studio 54 of Texas. Even Grace Jones appeared the just like the NYC club. It closed down about the same reason as the famous club. Those were the days.
Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Sam! We went to the location of the former Starck Club, and it was undergoing major construction. Any idea what it will become?
Yeah the Stark Club was always heavily advertised in the 80's on KNON radio.
Ha! Watching the movie on television right now. One of my favorites growing up in the 80s. Decided to check for filming locations, and there you were. You two did a great job covering the locations, and I was surprised at how much you were able to show. Thank you for a great video!
Cool! Thanks Jason! Glad you enjoyed our video 🥰
Wow great video, I live in the Dallas area and have been to a few of these locations. I love Robocop and will have to go explore some of these locations again. Thanks for the great video!!!
Cool, thanks! I'm originally from Dallas (but now we live in Kansas) so when we were watching RoboCop I was like... I totally recognize some of those places! That gave us the idea to make this video on a trip there. Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow Thank you guys for this. Robocop was one of my All-time favorite movies. i saw it in theaters when i was 7yrs old.
Awesome!! Thanks for watching our video :)
Most of Robocop 2 was filmed in my hometown of Houston...a video on that one would be great.
We'll try to plan a trip there!
When you take the highway out to there from Irving direction there used to be a famous billboard ad that teens would prank so hard on.
The Billboard used to be an advertisement for washing detergent and real water would gush out into the thing that looked like a tub.
The prank was kids would climb it to make it have lots and lots of Bubbles and sometimes the bubbles would reach the highway on a windy day! LOL
I vaguely remember that!!
Been a favourite movie of mine since childhood. Wow this video was excellent. Thanks for putting in the effort to make it. I loved it.
Awesome!! Thanks for watching, and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Robocop is my favorite movie greetings from Mexico I like your videos
Awesome!! Thanks for watching our video Alex!
Robocop is in my top ten of greatest movies I've watched of all time!.. It's great to see some of the buildings and locations that were used in the making of the film!.. Even moreso seeing you two looking so stoked at finding them and showing how passionate you are about the film!!.. Love it!! 😁 👍
Aww, thank you!! We're so glad you enjoyed our video. It was lots of fun to make. Finding some of those locations was like a scavenger hunt, ha!
I like this 80s retrospectives with Dolph Lundgren himself!
LOL!! SO many people have been telling us that lately, and it always makes us laugh. Thanks for watching :)
I love watching Robocop so much Peter Weller did amazing job he is my favorite actor and the actress Nancy Allen I have met her in person she is a really nice person to talk too 😎👍🏻🤗
That's awesome!! Thanks for watching our video!
@@Our80sLife Thank you and you're welcome 🤗💗
oh wow havnet seen Robocop in Years, totally need to have drina watch it
It's a great movie, but we were shocked at how gory it was in some parts, so beware of that before you show it to her. We had fun finding the filming locations!
Thank you guys for this!!
We had a blast making this video, glad you enjoyed it!!
YUP, I lived there when they shot the movie!! My buddy was an extra in the Starck Club, I went there a few times back then!! The Unisex Bathrooms were kinda strange, I've never had stage fright while taking a leak before...
LOL!! That's hilarious! Thanks for stopping by our channel :)
@@Our80sLife Thanks for taking your time to reply!! I like your channel and I will be following you!!
Been a Dallas resident now for 11 years. One of these days, my wife and I also are going to tour the shooting sites of my all time favorite movie; Robocop even though she’s no where near as much as a nerd as I am...😂
That will be a fun date, ha! If you decide to take her for a nice meal while you're out, we didn't show it in the video but we had a fabulous dinner at Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse downtown. It was very close to the location where Murphy twirls his gun (right across from the now-DART station) and only a couple blocks from the Renaissance Tower (OCP boardroom/ the building with the big X.) Have fun kids! 😊
thanks so much for making this video ! so interesting and robocop (1987) is one of my favourite movies ! and the JFK part is incredible ! . the dark knight.
Well thanks for stopping by our channel Dark Knight. Glad you enjoyed this video!
back when america still had a spine this tears me up. How this country is done finished and invaded from all fronts. Good times were the 80's
So cool to see this.
Glad you enjoyed our video! Thanks for watching :)
First time seeing your vids,I still have Robocop on vhs video i never seen it in the cinema, big trouble in little china film i watched at the cinema, greets from Liverpool, uk
Hi Paul! Welcome to our channel :)
Dang im from Dallas and I never new Robo cop was filmed there . I was still young in the 80's. Thats the Dallas city hall Tejano cinger Selena had a concert there way before she became famous.
Me too, until recently! Can't believe I missed that back in the day. Selena was so talented and beautiful! Keith's family lives in Corpus Christi, and we have visited her memorial there. Thanks for stopping by our channel Juan!
My wife " Lois" and I "Norman" Live near Pittsburgh Pa. And we have worked in movies , tv the last ten years. I worked on a tv show "Outsiders" that was filmed in Millvale and the director was Peter Weller Robocop. He looked a little older but the voice was the same. At one point I walked past him and I wanted to say "Murphy , Is that you ?". But I had to be professional about it so I said nothing. Norman.
Hi Norman! That's awesome that you got to work with the talented Peter Weller! That must have been an amazing experience!! It's interesting that you live in PA because it's the only other location used in RoboCop for the steel mill, which is no longer there. It's definitely hard not to have a "fan moment" in situations like that. We once ate at a table in a restaurant next to Harrison Ford, and it was super tempting to go talk to him but we didn't want to interrupt his dinner, sigh. Thanks for watching our video!
@@Our80sLife If you want to see Lois and me watch "The Last Witch Hunter" . We are on the plane when it goes wild. I am the business man in the white shirt and Lois is beside me. Another good shot is in "Promise Land" when Matt Damon is in the bar in the drinking contest with the bartender girl. I am on Matt's left, your right and Lois is next to me. One movie "Won't back Down" I saw Lois talking with someone and here it was Holly Hunter. She started to talk to Lois so it's OK to talk to them. We worked on an independent film and it's more laid back and I got to work behind the camera. I got to direct a scene. We make are own movies too that are on You-tube. Check out "What A Day" by 2001himax. It is in two parts. That is Lois' movie. My movie is "A Stich In Time". Lois' sister ,Lisa's film is "Cat Box" . It's a spoof of "The Bird Box" movie. For Promise Land I worked on the casting crew taking pictures of extras. So good talking to you. Norman.
This is awesome. Also something I normally expect from longtime hardcore fans of a film, not from people who literally just watched it for the first time. You must have really enjoyed it a lot to go to the trouble of doing the research and setting up this tour. :) Really cool. I enjoyed that. :D
Thank you so much!! We had planned a trip to Dallas and thought we might as well check out these places. In the process, we have become big fans of RoboCop!! We had to watch the movie a few more times to do the research, and it turns out to be one of those movies that gets better the more times you watch it. Glad you enjoyed our video! :)
@@Our80sLife It really is! I must have seen it about 100 times at least since I was a kid (yeah, 80s kids watched violent films :D ) and it's so enjoyable everytime. My ONLY complaint is with ONE special effect. Not the ED-209 (I love quality stop motion work) but it's the weirdly long arms of Dick Jones when he plummets at the end. That's the ONE bit I wish they'd have fixed up in the various versions they've released over the years. But eh whatever. Rest of the effects hold up well and as you mention in your reaction video to it, the make up of RoboCop when he takes the helmet off is excellent. You can see his skin stretched over the metal. Despite what some people think, it's supposed to be that his facial skin is overlaid onto a robotic skull... shooting him in the face won't kill him. And it was done by OCP to try help him adjust, cos if you woke up, looked in the mirror and saw a robot skull looking back you'd probably have a nervous breakdown or heart attack. There's a beautiful lil scene in RoboCop 2 where he does come face to face with his wife and she remarks that the face feels cold. Peter Weller plays the part of Murphy/RoboCop so well. :) Anyways I'll stop being a nerd now. Hope your weekend been awesome. Stay safe and well. :)
Thank you for making this. I just came across it. I just recently moved to Northern Texas and was stoked to see all the locations of one of my favorite childhood movies. I had actually made a video from church Road of the condos and was going to do more locations but you guys did a much better job than I could’ve done.
You're welcome, thanks Orlando! We're glad you enjoyed our video. We also made a video of RoboCop 2, which was filmed in Houston.
Great video guys. Really in depth look at the filming locations. Awesome 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Justin :)
I think Renaissance Tower was also used for the outside shots of the Ewing Oil building on the TV series Dallas .
You’re correct! Renaissance Tower was used as Ewing Oil beginning in season 2. Here’s our video of Dallas filming locations for season 2, if you’re interested in watching: th-cam.com/video/-6FpS0n83tA/w-d-xo.html
I worked as security at Dallas high school which is now an office for architects. I never knew Robocop was filmed there. And I used to go to the McDonald’s almost everyday at the plaza of America. Thx for the upload
Wow!! Small world! Thanks for watching our video :)
I've seen Robo maybe 100 times over the years, it's such a fun satirical action film, and I really appreciate this video. Great presentation very well done. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
