While anxiously awaiting the arrival of RoboCop II in the theatres, I read
the Info articles and others about how the Ami was going to be used for
some of the animation, etc, etc.  Being a rabid, avid, religious Amiga fan,
I went to see the movie primarily to try to spot the scenes containing said
animation.  (The movie was good, too.  :-)
I spotted several scenes where I was willing to gamble about whether the
Ami was used or not.  However, at the end of the movie, there was NO mention
at all of the Amiga.  Nothing.  (I am also an avid credit watcher.  Remember
that guy in the theatre who cheered when Dick Warlock's name appeared under
"Stunts" in the credits of the last action movie you went to see?  That was
me...:-)  Apple computers was mentioned and/or thanked.  I shuddered.
Can anyone with that issue of Info (I said I read the articles; I didn't say
I owned the magazine...:-) post or e-mail to me the name of the production
company that supposedly used the Ami for animation in the movie?  When I
see the movie again (Viva la Video Revolution!), I want to see if their
name appears in the credits.
