HAHA so awesome and a bit ironic.

I guess it is better than a Kentucky Fried Movie statue but RoboCop really didn’t portray Detroit in the best light.

80s-90s Detroit was a fucking war zone. Beirut was safer.

HEHE

Hence the “Send Them to Detroit” line in KFM.

Unfortunately there was no location from the movie that was filmed in Detroit.

The exterior locations were shot in Dallas, TX, and Pittsburgh, PA.
