There’s a Robocop 2014? Why was I not told about this?

Also, excellent choices picking Predator.

I also love the choice of Dunkirk, although that’s an interesting interpretation of Heads Up Display.

My favorite is the Iron Man HUD in so many MCU movies. But of course, the first movie it appears on is the original Iron Man.

Don’t make me come over there.

Yeah, I’m still not sure I get it. The good thing is that it inspires me to watch that movie again. Dang. There’s too many movies I want to see again.

Kelly’s winning the Griffin Dunne exists battle, yet Tom eschews any tactical support. Bold.

I also watched Firefox for this topic, and am glad I did. Holds up.

I’m not sure if a spaceship console/dash counts as a HUD, but I like the weird text readout that R2D2 puts out on Luke’s X-Wing console. The mysterious Star Wars alphabet!

No Last Starfighter?! You animals!

I’m sure it doesn’t. Or we all would have chosen…

  1. Just post a screenshot from the thing you would have chosen, Brian!

  2. I can’t believe you’ve gone to Upset Level Panda over something that isn’t Serenity or “Supernatural”.

Gah, fine.

And you never really saw much of the HUD on Serenity.

The Blue Thunder HUD graphics looked like something out of an Intellivision game, but I loved them anyways.
