After many attempts to destroy Robocop, Dick sends his gang after Weller with space-age army rifles that can destroy Volkswagon vans in one shot. The climactic battle that ensues in a closed-down steel mill is exciting and original in a movie genre replete with a thousand cliches and tricks.

...been supervising $300,000 worth of renovations to their Gatlinburg, Tenn., home, which they bought for $148,000. Hammer in hand, Bakker greeted two TIME correspondents at the house, high above the resort town in the Great Smoky Mountains. Both Jim and Tammy vowed either to return to Fort Mill or to begin their own ministry, perhaps in California. For an hour Bakker defended himself as a "visionary" who had a "dream to build something very special for God's people."
