1973 Directed by Michael Crichton
In a futuristic resort, wealthy patrons can visit recreations of different time periods and experience their wildest fantasies with life-like robots. But when Richard Benjamin opts for the wild west, he gets more than he bargained for when a gunslinger robot goes berserk.

some striking images in relation to movie fantasy and voyeur/consumer impulse but it never quite achieves the full blown perversity of this concept imo. seems content to just let the broad drama of the situation unfold with a weird lack of urgency
Yul Brynner goes all T-800 in the story of an amusement park that ends up not so amusing to its guests.
Bam! Yul Brynner acting like a boss!! Well, he's pretty much his character from the Magnificent Seven. Except, he's an out-of-control robot, and he's the one who steals scenes with limited dialogue and fantastic facial expressions. Hell, I'm pretty sure the same costume designer worked on both films. Yul is hamming it up as the Gunslinger. He's the Terminator, before the Terminator was invented. He will fuck you the fuck up with a shotgun, and chase you around like you're Laurie Strode and he's the Boogeyman. Yul is the main reason to watch, and in my opinion, his baddie…
I think I really dig Michael Crichton. He's a mean-spirited, cynical crank who knows enough about science to convince my 1.9 GPA brain of basically whatever he wants. If it was medieval times he could absolutely make me believe the moon was a witch. I know it's a popular misconception that we were all profoundly stupid during medieval times but you don't know my heart. I would've been the kind of serf who got killed by a horse I was having a verbal argument with. Hard not to compare this to Jurassic Park, which it's significantly worse than. But hey, if you gave me and Spielberg two of my very similar ideas and gave him the better, more thoughtful and…
the other Michael Crichton exposé of the reckless application of technology in poorly planned high-concept amusement parks. but at least most of the design flaws in JURASSIC PARK weren't completely, foreseeably, stupidly catastrophic. you're really telling me that putting real bullets in the guns is the idea Westworld's builders settled on? "Well, we programmed the guns not to fire if they're aimed at people." did you program the swords in Romanworld not to cut human flesh as well? this is absolutely the dumbest fuckin idea of all time, less scientific hubris than sheer clueless idiocy. it's also not very cost-effective given the constant robot repair.* Crichton's pulpy alarmism was always something to be taken with a big grain of salt,…
We Romanticize Humanity's Violent History And Indulge Masculine Power Fantasies At Our Own Peril: The Motion Picture
An eerily prescient film about the dangers of artificial intelligence and cosplay.
Yul Brynner silently chasing Richard Benjamin to the ends of the theme park killing everything in his path is legitimately one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen.
shout out 2 nitpicky nerds who think "capitalism indulges sadistic male fantasies at the expense of human life" is a "plot hole"
you cannot convince me that James Brolin is not Christian Bale’s father.
lots of ideas here that only later reached their full potential in other things but overall it’s a terrific concept
