As in ‘African-American.’ The character who creates the robot is black, and when he is asked ‘Why did you make it black?’ He responded, ‘Because I wanted him to be perfect.’
And it could be I just imagined the whole thing. Probably early to mid 1980s, if it happened at al.
That’s what I thought, but I just saw that last night. There is a Black ‘Pimp-bot’ (which I did remember from originally seeing it), but it wasn’t Michael D. Roberts’ creation. If it is “Ice Pirates,” I must have ff-ed thru the scene.
That’s about the only thing I remember about that movie. I remember Pimp-bot too. I don’t remember any of his lines though. Just that he made my 13yo self laugh his ass off.
