3. Who played Robocop 2 in the movie "Robocop 2"?

Answer: Tom Noonan

This hardly ever happens, but in the sequel called "Robocop 2" there really was a Robocop 2, who was the second person turned into a functioning cyborg by OCP. The story involved OCP trying to buy the city of Detroit after it went bankrupt. The mayor decided to raise money by having a telethon. Meanwhile, a drug dealer (Tom Noonan) died in the hospital after Robocop shot him. OCP decided to turn the drug dealer into the next Robocop, and ordered him to kill the mayor. Along the way he killed the surviving leaders of his old gang.

5. In which of these movies did a toy maker use robots to kill people?

Answer: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

After Michael Myers "died" in the hospital explosion at the end of "Halloween 2", John Carpenter decided to do a movie which happened on Halloween, but used a completely different story. Someone discovered that robots were killing people who knew things about a toy company.

The robots worked for a toy maker who sold Halloween masks to just about everyone. If someone wearing a mask watched his commercial on Halloween night, a signal from the TV was supposed to turn on a laser in his mask and fry his brain!
6. Who played a robot who built other robots in "Android"?

Answer: Klaus Kinski

I'm giving away a surprise, but it's not much of a surprise anyway. Dr. Daniel (Klaus Kinski) did experiments with human-looking android robots on a research space station until three escaped criminals arrived. It was later revealed that Dr. Daniel was also a robot, who was overtaken by a male and female robot he had been tampering with.

Klaus Kinski did various movies, including "Nosferatu", "Venom", and "Buddy Buddy" with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
7. What performer from "Places in the Heart" played a robot in "Making Mr. Right"?

Answer: John Malkovich

An emotionless scientist (John Malkovich) created a human-looking robot (John Malkovich) to go on a deep space mission. A public relations woman (Ann Magnuson) became friends with the robot, and they fell in love. The robot wanted to stay on Earth, so the scientist and the robot switched places, and the scientist went off into space. The woman and the robot lived happily ever after!

John Malkovich has appeared in various movies, including "Places in the Heart", "Of Mice and Men", "Ripley's Game", and "Being John Malkovich".

A robot probe duplicate of Ilia arrived in the starship and told everyone what V-ger was up to. After deciding that living things were not as good as machines, it was about to wipe out all Earth life, until Decker "joined up" with it.
