August 17, 20187 yr dallas - bottle rocket, robocop, debbie doesI read that Dallas was chosen for Robocop because it had the most futuristic looking skyline in America at the time. Pretty amazing.

I know that some of it was shot in the Dallas area as well. Chotzky's was actually the Alligator Grill on South Lamar (not sure what is in that building now).

In 2004 Slater, Floyd and Wooderson sued Linklater for defamation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45614-2004Dec7.html?noredirect=on Some facts from the article- Pink was a second string OL, not a star QB, Wooderson is now divorced (not shocking), Wooderson's son went to Harvard. From L to R, Slater, Pink and Wooderson in 2004. Sounds like a bunch of sensitive, ill-humored pussies to me.

It was surreal to actually sit in those cubicles and have office space "experiences".

Nothing special about that really except if you notice the car is a POS, but there is a BMW emblem on the back.. When he found out they were using his car, he went out and stole a bunch of emblems and mounted them on his car.. He had all kinds of shit on it. fucking weirdo.
