Humanoid looking robots

The actors in "West World" were not actually robots. They were cadavers. They scooped the brains out and replaced them with R/C units that controlled the muscle movement by sending electrical impulses down the spinal cord. Most of the cadavers had been donated for medical or scientific use, and some of the families were upset to see them used in a movie. Imagine going to the theater, and suddenly seeing your dead husband or father appear on the screen. There was a lawsuit over the issue, and I believe that the families of the deceased individuals won a rather significant settlement.

This is exactly why Michael Crichton decided to do the film Looker, which was about recreating actors digitally. The actors would THEN be killed, rather than the other way around. You have to agree this approach makes better sense, and it's not as smelly.

"Bob"

Wow, never heard of this movie. I'm going to imdb right now, but when did it show? Is it something I can find at hollywood video or blockbuster?

Our skewl built a robot cow for training horses in rodeo competitions...it didn't really look like a cow but it acted like one and didn't get tired

The real ones get tired (or bored) after a while and lie down requiring a supply of fresh cows for a long training session

thus became ROBOCOW!

He's being facetious. "WestWorld" should be readily available--its sequel "Futureworld" less so. 1973 movie written by Micheal Crichton, with Yul Brynner, David Benjamin, and James Brolin.

There's apparently a remake in the works.
