Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) Part 9

[OTSgman]

as soon as I saw that speaker, I knew I have seen this computer in another film. And it is, scenes from this movie where used in Riding with Death. I'm sure it been known, but seemed interesting to me.

If I was Forbin I'd tell Colossus that if it was my human child (in a  way it is his "child"), I'd give it a good spanking!

Seems rather unfair of Colossum to target Liverpool .. I visit there once a year where the damage from WW2 is evident ... seems rather harsh ... they could have picked Birmingham or Manchester.

"I have need of Man's skills. This condition may change."

That ... is a scary thought, ain't it?

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

But wouldn't a comuter that smart understand that man can decieve, and might try something like this?

I's prefer a Collosus to a population of contented nanny's boys.

Nuking Paris...no argument there, then ;o)

My god, there was once a time when Hollywood credited its audiences with intelligence! Who'da thunk it?

When you think about it this is pretty scary, the computer could do this in todays world if they ever did this! The computer is useless without the missiles!

[trubblemuffin]

Quality film.

[CanadaMan81]

Why attempt the overload before the missiles had all been deactivated?

[Eberkelin]

wow

[matzahpudding]

Liverpool?? I don't think threatening to bomb Liverpool would get the UK to do anything... :)

[deadman00]

but still.. its in the uk and would warn people not to mess with colossis.
