I didn't even see any chopping.

#monsterdon #ChoppingMall

Credits song is a banger, a fine send-off for another successful #Monsterdon. We've been watching some "just actually good" movies lately, I'm digging it

Confession: I actually kinda like the grungy techno soundtrack >_> #monsterdon

Oh my god they used the head explosion shot for the credits

#monsterdon

@gnomon I'm trying to remember if any malls had health clubs attached, but I think that was only strip malls, not the same thing. #monsterdon #ChoppingMall

HAHAHA YES HEAD EXPLODING CREDITS CARD HELL YEA

#Monsterdon

Not a single one of these actors had a starring role in anything ever after this, did they?

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

seriously these are some tv-grade credits what kind of failed pilot was this

#monsterdon #choppingmall

and so they fucked off into the, idk, food court i guess

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

FERDY LIVES

#monsterdon

"Hi honey! Don't worry about me, just a light concussion!" *head falls off* #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay. Steel cutting. Duracell made these batteries only once. In the 1980’s, and they’ve been slowly making them worse over time. Planned obsolescence sucks. ;)

Oh no, it's gonna clamp her tiddies! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I hope she's good at parkour.

sprinkler system in this mall seems to have a bit of a lag problem

#monsterdon #choppingmall

she jackson pollocked that robot's ass #monsterdon

This is hardly the time to start work on a new art exhibit! #Monsterdon

Chekov's Road Flare Stuffed In A Bra #monsterdon

The crawling sequence was weird but props to CHOPPING MALL for actually treating a fall that large seriously

#Monsterdon

Ugh, these poor animals. They have it rough enough on the daily, and now a copdeathbot and a random pizza waitress are throwing things into further chaos for them. #monsterdon

Wise choice to hang off the 3rd floor railing

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon someone needs to remaster this and put in some daleks for randoms sake.

#Monsterdon Now, the mall itself is attacking them!

Lol
#monsterdon

It's kind of a trial by fire - does she deserve to live?

#monsterdon

I'm sorry, the killbot understands how to throw things, but was doing scary pincers? Are they just messing with the humans?

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

lol, unexpected spider and snake horror

#monsterdon

OMG puppies in those bins

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #choppingmall after being scared out of her wits for the last 15 minutes, the girl is ambushed by a robot, which brandishes its Clamps at her. She screams, which summons the boy. The robot chases him screaming that it has a laser malfunction, which I guess is why it wasn't just lasering her.

He shoots it, then runs out of ammo, then throws his gun at it, then throws a firing extinguisher at it, then dies. I was wrong about both pure kids surviving this.

#Monsterdon the level of product placement whoring is really quite refreshing.

OMG, are those dogs kept in there over night?!

#monsterdon

I don't think we've seen Ferdy reload that revolver, but the movie surprisingly had him fire exactly 6 shots before throwing the gun at the robot. Pretty good stuff!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #choppingmall I'm wondering when the girl will use the emergency bra flare, if she hasn't used it already. currently she is attacking spare parts and wandering slowly through a liminal realm of closets, while the boy is wandering through a separate liminal realm of white hallways... maybe its just one white hallway.

Some of you like Almonds A LOT.
#Monsterdon
#choppingmall

#Monsterdon These robots must have nuclear power sources, what with the lasers and tasers and welding, oh my.

#monsterdon That DOES say "House of Almonds".

"What could happen?"
"You want a list??"

Actually fantastic line

#monsterdon

He gave his life on an Otis tri-wheel scooter thingie

#monsterdon

So tragic, she died in flannel #monsterdon

Remember kids, ion cannons are reflected by mirrors!
#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

Good time for a nap #monsterdon

This is exactly the sort of thing that will happen in one of those awful tech bros cities #monsterdon

YES split up!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #choppingmall I would like to point out that the robots are incredibly polite whenever they kill someone, and also that their lasers don't penetrate corrugated steel mall gates for some reason.

I, too, use a calculator when my life is in danger to relieve the anxiety.

#Monsterdon
#ChoppingMall

OK the escalator is not working, so how is the robot getting up the escalator? Oh wait. I shouldn't pay attention to things like that.

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

physical confinement is a good strategy, there are only three of them and they don't look like they can shoot upwards, so barricades with the stone trash cans and a few gallons of cooking oil on the floor for the traction on the treads would probably let you make a defensible space until morning. there really isn't a lot of reason to engage with them at all #monsterdon

That dude in the back is REALLY into that rifle #monsterdon

That's not how elevators work

#Monsterdon

"Well obviously the mall robot will be bulletproof, this is AMERICA!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, multiple color directed energy weapons and what sort of power cell hmm? Nuclear? Because that sort of weapon demands serious juice.

#Monsterdon Wasn’t expecting directed energy weapons. Mmmm smexy.

Ahhh, crowbar! Half-Life wouldn't have been as fun without you

#monsterdon

blood does not work like that. (Probably)

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

@yogajedi@strangeobject.space token brunette, but she won't make it #monsterdon

Aren't you supposed to yell "Wolverines" if you're going to unload like that? #Monsterdon

Whiney Blonde will die next

#monsterdon

NOW the looting

#monsterdon

This movie predated Aliens, and here we have Proto-Hudson

#monsterdon #choppingmall

They appear to be running off of lawnmower engines

#monsterdon

These killbots are very well equipped for mall security. #monsterdon

They have breaching charges?

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

DUCTS!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon So much gum chewing. Like a boy cow. Moo.

"we'll never get out of here!"

Pretty sure if there's stairs then the robots are fucked

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon okay, cigarette vending machines. Thats giving me #GenX vertigo. LOL.

There's gonna be a scratch and dent sale tomorrow. #monsterdon

this movie is a great reminder to anyone on here who designs killbots, always have them fail open rather than fail closed when they lose connection back to the command and control server, there should have been IRT on site within an hour of the lightning strike after the alert went out that they've lost contact. terrible systems design that has become the norm in the killbot industry #monsterdon

*BOOM!* HEADSHOT!

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

"Give us your best scream lady"

Oh wow, it fires lasers now!

LOL @ Exploding head!

#monsterdon

LASERS?! #monsterdon

#monsterdon seriously wondering if I should CW posts about #chopping mall seeing how stupidly horny it is. should I do this?

#monsterdon RIP the janitor.

Oh wow, buying cigarettes from a machine, how hilariously 20th Century

And payphones too!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #choppingmall we switch to the floor of the mall and new characters drop, the Hapless Janitor and his friends, the Other Hapless Janitors who are going home for the day.

the kill bots roll up, playing their leitmotif, demand the guy show his electric badge and then electrocute him when he yells at them. body count is now 3.

@Taweret@octodon.social When the real Robot War starts I hope the Machines do the same #monsterdon

Oh look, it's that actor that's in every movie. #monsterdon

oh snap! she's a baller with that shot.

#Monsterdon

waaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute

#monsterdon

#monsterdon parties in the 80s are kinda boring.

"you got a licence for that outfit"

Mood killed.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "you won't regret this" lol famous last words.

I adore the sneaky anxiety of these murderbots #Monsterdon

One time I started to explain the movie Short Circuit to a younger coworker and when I said the robot got struck by lightning he said, "And then he started killing people?" and I was like "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE JOHNNY 5 OF SUCH THINGS" but I guess he was probably thinking of this movie.
#monsterdon #ChoppingMall

#Monsterdon brought to you by mononucleosis!

#monsterdon lol Americans back then were frisky, sheesh.

Oh, and having feet on the table, the raging anarchist #monsterdon

His crime is eating somebody else's leftovers

#monsterdon

im fine if they program to robots to laser people who smack their gum tbh

#monsterdon

The 80s hair is strong in this one #monsterdon

Rudi Guliani studied this film so he could relate to women

#monsterdon

oh! video games. the arcade? and the initial shoplifting of the video, right?

#MonsterdonBingo #Monsterdon

So far I am rooting for the Killbots

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER CLAW

Presumably the narrative justification for throat-punching that IT tech was because he was shirking and ogling a lascivious magazine while on duty, but I prefer to justify it because of his smoking near the equipment. That is definitely a robot-neck-crushing offence.

introducing the archetypical 80s party bros! #monsterdon

Immediately after the electrical system you're watching explodes is probably not the best time to be looking at porn

#Monsterdon

Well that was a good short film. Thanks for coming to this week's #Monsterdon gang.

NOW WATCHING: CROWDSTRIKE SERVER ROOM FOOTAGE

#Monsterdon #ChoppingMall

OMG this fauxtalian and his dirty t-shirt.

#MonsterdonBingo #Monsterdon

Ugh, flashbacks to working in the Service industry, all customers are pigs

#monsterdon
