10 Most Out Of Place Scenes In Sci-Fi Movie History
7. Elvis Shrine – Robocop 2 (1990)
Though RoboCop 2 was directed by the greatest of all Star Wars directors, Irvin Kershner, and written by comic book legend Frank Miller, it nonetheless proved to be a bit of a flop, paling in comparison to its predecessor.
Peter Weller returns to the streets of a dystopian Detroit as Alex Murphy, the eponymous RoboCop, taking on crime boss Cain (Tom Noonan) and his designer drug-pushing Nuke Cult, while also attempting to prevent psychologist Dr Juliette Faxx (Belinda Bauer) from creating another RoboCop using a death row inmate. While pursuing Cain, RoboCop tracks his gang to a warehouse where he uncovers the skeleton of one Elvis A Presley in a glass case...
That's right, the Nuke Cult have the remains of the king of rock 'n' roll in their lair, along side pictures of Mother Theresa, and deleted scenes reveal that they worship him as some kind of god. Amusing though this is, the scene doesn't make any sense. How did they get him? And why Elvis?
We may never know.
