Japanese Real Steel trailer shows the human side of robot fighting

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Out of all the movies coming out, it’s hard to find one with a stranger concept than REAL STEEL. A world where human boxing is outlawed, so people build giant, punching robots to slug it out? Uhh alright.

There’s a new Japanese trailer out for it which you can see below. It focuses on Hugh Jackman trying to develop his relationship with his son via violent robots. It has such memorable lines as:

“What are we looking for?”

“Anything I can use to put a fighting robot together.”

I don’t think I could say that with a straight face, so props to Jackman.

But who knows, REAL STEEL could surprise us all and do something interesting with an exceedingly lame concept. Until then, we’ll just have to judge it by the trailers.
