Who Wins? Ali versus the mechanical Octopus minus the motor... Used by Ed Wood.

Ali was a good sport. As he was getting slammed in the peaches and shins by Antonio he had a smile on his face... Wilt? Ali was ready provided Wilt could lay off the ladies to train a bit...

We now know that intelligence and consciousness is a gradual thing, objects in the Universe are only there as far as they are a part of our associations. This means that the octopus could present a legit challenge to Ali. It would have been a bit past its prime, after the job Bela did on it with the ole Morphine double shot: Morphine chased with a shot of Demerol. But combacks are a part of the sweet science.

By jove if a Federal Posecutor can indict a ham samwitch, then Ali can fight a mechanical octopus with no motor. Only an idiot like kaufkod would argue otherwise!

Who wins?

30 years ago a friend of mine used a boxing metaphor in describing the octopus scence. We watched the film when it first came out, when we left the theater she said to me that the octopus scence endeared her to the Bela character. 'He was like a fighter at the end of his game but his professionalism wouldn't let him do anything other than give it his all.'

Mechanical Octopus wins. Ali does not sign the contract. Some on here will call it a "duck" even the Ali passed away five years ago.

Around here you'll probably find someone claiming the red robot ducked the blue one.

They would say the octopus was Legosi’s leftovers. No longer in his prime.

Octopus failed post-fight VADA tests and received 1 year ban.

Octopus has the reach advantage, but I say Ali takes it into deep waters and takes it out in the later rounds.

Landau did a **** up job... Bela had an interesting life, with a similar trajectory as Wood... Still treasure both... IncludingTor in so many of Wood's movies. Tor was the all time highest selling Halloween Mask until Michael Myers.

But then Hearn will hide the B-sample from the Octopus.
