Factory Scenes

[Zor]

One thing that i find very visually impressive is scenes like the droid factory in Episode two and in arms race which depict highly automated factories at work, hell i still get a kick out of watching videos of car factories full of robots building real life cars. At least to me, it is spectacular eye candy, even if just a backround image.

The questions here is simple...

1-Do you also like factory scenes in Sci-Fi movies?
2-Would you like to see more factory scenes in sci-fi movies?
3-What would be your favourate factory scene?

For factory scenes in SF movies, it's hard to beat the ballet of the workers maintaining the machine Moloch in Metropolis.

It does add a bit of realism to see that ordinary blue-collar joes are as much a part of a SF world as the big heroes. The movie The Fifth Element was very good on this score, showing several scenes of day-labourers and janitors and plain, common grunts doing their mundane jobs and it did add a layer to the tapestry of that film.

Go watch the final battle between Yulaw and Gabe in The One. That is all.

Yes, yes, and the first person Stroggification factory sequence from one of the Quake games.

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) Assembly-lines of Star Destroyer-construction for StarWars and the production of Terminators and Hunter-Killers in the Terminator-Universe.

Terminator: Dawn of Fate had an awesome T-model factory within NORAD, as T-units are rolling off the assembly line and placed into bigass storage units. I can't remember if HK models were also produced there, but it was pretty neat watching T-Units get made, then instantly activate and come after you.

Too bad the game was shitty, fluff aside

A fight in a fully-automated factory would be interesting by virtue of characters not only having to deal with each other but the machines as well.

And I mean an even fight. Main Character vs. Villain, or generic good guys vs. generic bad guys, or some combination thereof.

Even more fun is if it started to show the side effects of the fight on the factory's operations. A small shot to a power cable in the beginning could lead to faulty parts further down the line, resulting in damaged/destroyed items at the end.

Still, if it is factory views just to show the factory, then I'd prefer to decline. Showing the effects (AotC troop production & training) or as a side show (AotC droid factory) felt good to me.

The other option is where the hero fights the villain, and gets defeated, but when the villain turns around, there is one of the ordinary factory workers. The ordinary guy uses ordinary tools used in his job to immobilize the villain, and they send him down the assembly line to be killed very slowly.

The ordinary factory guy never shows his face, but helps the hero to safety. At the end, the OFG justs asks the hero to 'remember us', and leaves. From there, the story ends with the hero looking around at the people around him, and thinking that any one of them could have been the one to stand up to evil.

It wasn't in a factory, but that reminds be of a scene in a Spiderman comic. Spidey's fighting one of those Spider-Slayer robots, and a construction worker attacks it from behind with his jackhammer. Yells, "I think you need a jackhammer massage !" and seriously damages the thing.

I recall a scene in a Batman Beyond episode, the one with Inque and her fanboy she later betrayed. BB had her at bay, and the fanboy used one of factory's ( or whatever it was ) robot handling arms to beat him down.
