For a middle-aged guy who was out of shape and had no training at all in swordfighting, he actually put up a pretty good fight...(Later on, other robots to Black Knight: "It took you three minutes to kill that dude?"
That actor playing the doomed swordsman (or at least his stuntman double) actually did a really good job there, because you can see that he really is tremendously athletic to go through all those movements but has to play them as if he was not. It's as if he was a somewhat over-the-hill former Olympic athlete.
Wow, the human guest was doing pretty good early on, but the robo black knight thought to himself: "Aw, screw this!" then started to get his stride, and then the human guest started to lose gas... dang... skewered like a roasted pig right in the gut... ouch... +_+
Gee, that poor guy had a lousy vacation! First the hot android played by Playboy Playmate Ann Randall turns down his sexual advances, then to top it off the asshole Black Knight android kills him! The guy should have taken a cruise or something....
"But John, The Pirates of the Carribean ride breaks down, the Pirates don't eat the tourists"* That was off the top of my head but I think that's the actual line.
you're kidding right? You don't know much about law. The guests would have to sign about a million papers letting them off the hook before they could enter Westworld.
@Greg Walker correct. Those disclaimers she was talking about aren't worth the paper they are written on, smart lawyers always find a way around those.
@@marknorris1381 I can't imagine that the westworld portrayed in this movie would get away with murder especially after they knew their machines were faulty.
Why wasn't that sword blunted? I mean I can get the guns having safety blocks in them but with a sharpened sword a guest only needs to make a wrong move before potentially skewered.
Damar158 Depends how critical you want to be:) One way to look at it is that it's simply a logical mistake on the creators path. However, one can easily make up a plausible explanation too. For instance I chose to view it like this: A gun is easily instant death, even when it's a mistake, boom dead. With a sword however it's damn neigh impossible to seriously injured, let alone kill someone, by mistake. That's is why hundreds die each year due to simple mistakes with guns, while no one _accidentally_ gets stabbed to death:) So, in order to give it some realism, and create an experience worth paying that much for. They are willing to take tiny risks like that. Remember, the androids were not meant to go rogue. So not really a chance of anything serious bad happening, unless it was clearly the visitors mistake.
It's interesting the robots act joyous when they manage to attack the guests. They are programmed to always lose, so winning must be an occasion for them.
The movie and the premise of WW takes precedence in the future. Just because it came out in the 70's it does not mean the robots or the technology was from the 70's. LOL.
Variety described the film as excellent, saying that it "combines solid entertainment, chilling topicality, and superbly intelligent serio-comic story values".
You'd have soldiers of fortune, mercenaries, and gung ho soldier types paying to go to 'Roman World' just to go through harsh Roman Army boot camp discipline to toughen themselves up.
I honestly feel like this guy had the Black Knight on the ropes but for whatever reason when the Black Knight dropped his sword he didn't just stab him and knock him out I think that's the problem with robots you can't give them a chance.
... obvious aluminium prop-sword is obvious. Even as a kid, this part about Westworld, or rather Medieval World kinda bothered me. As laughable as the safety devices on the guns in Westworld are: How do you make the swords of Medieval World "safe"? How do you make jousting safe? Which, BTW is an incredibly complicated and dangerous activity that untrained guests wouldn't have a hope of mastering, anyway. I've been riding horses since I was six years old - and I wouldn't want to have to joust without prep or extensive training.
you know should probably be paying attention to the man dying but I found myself more preoccupied by the woven cloth on his head that is supposed to represent Chainmail.
Damar158 Well considering the should wear a padded coif under the mail one (like how they would wear a padded coat under the mail on their body) they shouldn't gut uncomfortable, plus it would add to the realism making it more fun, at least I'd think so... not that it did much... poor guy.

since it looked at mostly Westworld and guns they did not explain how a human might not harm another human with a sword or a broken chair leg,, the only way to manage would be one human per area on vacation at a time and that would be a resort only for billionaires!
Ekkis25 Well, if a human harms a human, that's not the park's fault. If one guest killed another at Disneyland, I'm pretty sure the Walt Disney Company isn't responsible. The park only cares that their robots don't kill humans. And then the plot happened.
That poor guy had one lousy vacation-his wife was enjoying the pleasures of "delightful, decadent Pompe"i in Roman World, but when he attempted to seduce one of the castle machines, he was rejected even though she was a 'sex model'. This was.followed by a sword in the gut. Also, Alan Oppenheimer sealed his own tomb (literally) when he ordered everything shut down. They were hermetically sealed in with no way to open the doors.
@Joe Hansell Oh just give him a few years. Once the flesh has rotted off his face and he spends a bit of time in the control center's gym he'll be up terrorizing He-Man.
For a middle-aged guy who was out of shape and had no training at all in swordfighting, he actually put up a pretty good fight...(Later on, other robots to Black Knight: "It took you three minutes to kill that dude?"
He was trying to make a "point."
Ever heard of playing with your food?
And he hadn't eaten breakfast yet either.
He felt sorry for the not in great shape guest! Knight took his time.
@@tomscerbo1588 They're encouraged to give guests their money's worth before they kill them...He couldn't override that part of his programming...

That guy definitely needed to get his money back.

Or viagara .

"At 'Disneyland', the 'pirates' in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride, didn't ATTACK the tourists!"
+Walter D Wormack Funny considering Jurassic Park and Westworld are written by the same guy.
Nah they just shut down the ride instead... mahahahahahaha
a clever nod
that's a nice detail
"But John, The Pirates of the Carribean ride breaks down, the Pirates don't eat the tourists"* That was off the top of my head but I think that's the actual line.
Today's lawyers would have a field day with this kind of thing.

They have a tv series called Westworld now, you would love it
@@marknorris1381 I can't imagine that the westworld portrayed in this movie would get away with murder especially after they knew their machines were faulty.
Freaking loved this movie.. I recall watching it as a kid... Brenner was awesome ! They should remake this movie.
What was Crichton's issue with amusement parks? Seriously.. did he get thrown out of Disney World and never got over it?
I remember watching this as a kid, so cool at that time...
Honestly still is. Crichton's original movies hold up very well.
Well that explains why the black knight in Monty Python never felt the need to give up...
Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations--WOR and WLVI!
None shall pass

They spared no expense.

The swords have to be capable of running the robots through.
My best guess is the Black Knight originally DID have a blunt-edged sword but stole a legit sharp sword from another guest.
Poetic Liscense.
But he had the high ground!
He got off the high ground too.
That's why when BK took it... *Gg*
It's interesting the robots act joyous when they manage to attack the guests. They are programmed to always lose, so winning must be an occasion for them.
I remember my dad showing this to me when I was 8 or so. man was this movie scary to me.
Thats what you get for building androids in the 70s, something was bound to go wrong.
The movie and the premise of WW takes precedence in the future. Just because it came out in the 70's it does not mean the robots or the technology was from the 70's. LOL.
camf33 it’s 1983 in the movie which is basically the same
@@kosmosdemon Where did you find that out?
@@kosmosdemon Not even close. Computing power had quintupled by 83
1:11 *cut the robot power* it's a little late for that 😲😲😲😲

Allan Oppenheimer before he's Skeletor: SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!
Fine advice Skeletor... Shut it down or... call in a riot squad.
karl eichholtz should have called Ben Murphy
when black knight show up and all those robot become chaos in the whole resort
If timing is everything, that systems engineer was a little late on the draw.
That is just an excellent scene. Pretty convincing and without any heroic posturing silliness
You'd have soldiers of fortune, mercenaries, and gung ho soldier types paying to go to 'Roman World' just to go through harsh Roman Army boot camp discipline to toughen themselves up.
Cut the robot power godammit!!
I honestly feel like this guy had the Black Knight on the ropes but for whatever reason when the Black Knight dropped his sword he didn't just stab him and knock him out I think that's the problem with robots you can't give them a chance.
Too bad the remake was never made with Schwarzenegger as the cowboy.
And renamed "The Exterminator" or something. That would be a blast!
He did already play a cowboy in a movie.
He already plays a robot in every movie he has ever done.
I'll stick with Disneyworld thanks

it's just a flesh wound...
LOL at JoeTyler85's comment below. Delos is too cold :D
the Queen and the Black Knight seat together in the throne room
apparently, Delos doesn't really give a fuck when one of their clients die, they remain cool and professional "hemm, cut out the power"
Red guy had a chance to go for the kill but failed. Of course he didn’t know the black knight would eventually kill him.
If there was a real westworld/medievalworld/romanworld ...ok the guns have safety but how would they have safety on knives and other edged weapons??
greg kirby They would probably be blunted and the guests would have a mechanism to get slashed
I feel like even blunted swords could cause massive damage if swung hard. Easily break bone and still cause tissue injuries.
Delos is just plain amoral
those doctor like a professor not even can be effort to stop that chaos robot
because that time the queen give Black Knight become the new king
The black knight was almost as scary as the robot cowboy.
"ah, I should have carried the Y"
Cut the robot power! Too late...
I'm not sure why the devs had the bright idea of giving the robots real weaponry, or better yet use those as props for any of the amusement parks
this story try to tell as medieval knight defeated and death already
you know should probably be paying attention to the man dying but I found myself more preoccupied by the woven cloth on his head that is supposed to represent Chainmail.
Well can't expect guests to wear something uncomfortable on their heads, not like there's any chance of them getting hur-oops.

Maybe the surrounding robots will jump in front of the endangered humans to protect them.
lol....the sword only went in one inch into his big belly couldn't penetrate all the way through.
That's what she said.
I love how fake and cheap everything in Medievalworld looks 😂
why does he wear armour if it does him no good? oh wait guess those are only clothes he only wear armoured hood
I don’t understand this part? It’s called “Westworld”. Why does it have medieval times?
There were three parts: Westworld, Roman World, and Medieval World, where this scene was.
Terrifying
all those professor who dress in white and all of them die cause no oxygen
My granduncle told me This movie stinks.
He was wrong. The movie is awesome.
