Yep and it ruined the menace of the featured character and dates the film terribly.

Oh, right.

I don't mind that so much, because it's supposed to be bad CGI. It's not trying to represent anything real. That's like saying Tron or The Lawnmower Man had bad CGI.

Or the Money for Nothing music video \m/

I didn't think it was meant to be bad.

Robocop 2 (the cyborg) was meant to be cutting edge technology, a more advanced version of the the first Robocop so having a giant plasma screen pop out of it's head for no good reason and do the growling Max Headroom thing really buggered up my enjoyment of a good film when it first came out and it looks much worse now.

Lawnmower Man was meant to be a representation of VR then (or at least very close to then) so it was pretty accurate even if the film was a pile of poo.

Tron's CGI isn't meant to be CGI (in the story) at all.

It's a visual representation of the interactions of programs and data in cyberspace that was rendered largely on a computer and it looks timeless.
