This thing has been in the works for over a decade, but now it's time to get to work on one for Dallas.

Back in 2011, the Detroit Mayor put on Twitter what the citizens were looking to improve within Detroit. One user responded, "Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky & Robocop would kick Rocky's butt. He's a GREAT ambassador for Detroit." The mayor said they have no plans for a Robocop statue and then the internet decided to build one themselves. A kickstarter campaign raised $67,436 in under a week.

The actor who played Robocop even commented on the potential statue in 2011 saying how he stood behind the idea. Well after a legal battle with MGM, who owns the rights to Robocop, and a long design process. The statue is officially up in Detroit for all to enjoy.

Robocop Statue Finally Up in Detroit

Hopefully the Robocop statue stays in Detroit for years to come. However the grimy, sleazy, disgusting streets of Detroit in the movie are actually Dallas, Texas.

Robocop Filming Locations in Dallas, Texas

For instance the big Omni Consumer Products building that built Robocop is just the Dallas City Hall. You can check out a bunch of the filming locations and what they look like now in the video above.

However, if anyone in Dallas wants to get a campaign going to build a Robocop statue in Big D, I am willing to contribute.
