New ‘Rocky IV’ Director’s Cut Will Be Missing A Character – NPR Weekend Edition

Sylvester Stallone is revisiting Rocky IV with a director’s cut, which will edit out a robot maid. Cartoon Network’s J. Christopher Arrison is sad, and explains his feelings to NPR’s Scott Simon.

September 5, 20207:59 AM ET

TRANSCRIPT | SCOTT SIMON, HOST

(Imitating Rocky Balboa) Yo, Paulie, kiss that birthday gift goodbye.

This week, Sylvester Stallone announced he’s concocting a new director’s cut of “Rocky IV,” the 1985 installment of the film franchise in which America’s heavyweight hero heads to the Soviet Union – that’s a country that used to exist just below Finland – to fight the fearsome Ivan Drago and avenge the death of Apollo Creed. Spoiler alert – another beloved character won’t make it – not B.J. Leiderman, who does our theme music – no, SICO, the robot that Rocky gives as a birthday present to his brother-in-law Paulie. Mr. Stallone says SICO will be edited out of the new cut.

J. Christopher Arrison is already in mourning. He’s a writer and producer for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim and joins us now. Thanks so much for being with us.

J CHRISTOPHER ARRISON: Oh, thanks for having me.

SIMON: We’re going hear a bit of SICO’s performance, if that’s what we’re going to call it. But why don’t you remind us, tell us about this robot?

ARRISON: Well, this robot appears in “Rocky IV” out of the dark. A song accompanies SICO rolling into the room. And he actually says, happy birthday, Paulie.

(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, “ROCKY IV”)

ROBERT DOORNICK: (As SICO) Please make a wish.

ARRISON: Paulie is at first kind of miffed by this gift, kind of perplexed. But by the end, he programs it from its gender setting from normal, as he says, to female. And in a – with a modern lens, it’s maybe not the most tasteful thing or a dignified end for SICO’s journey because SICO, in real life, is a very useful robot at the time. It was a robot that helped kids with autism. And that’s part of the reason why Stallone put SICO into the movie.

SIMON: So this was a real-life robot. Why did I not know that?

ARRISON: Yes, yes. That’s how – so SICO was introduced to his son. And Stallone was so taken by it that he put him in the movie. I’m calling him SICO, but SICO is genderless obviously.

SIMON: I’m impressed by the fact that SICO was invented to help people.

ARRISON: Yes.

SIMON: I find that very moving, and maybe SICO should have been in there to help someone, not just, you know, serve Paulie his beer.

ARRISON: The robot is very much a punchline. It’s been parodied many times over the years. Probably the most famous one is in the show “Family Guy.”

SIMON: Well…

ARRISON: You sound sad about this.

SIMON: I am a little – well, let’s just put it this way. I’m very uncomfortable with people trying to rewrite history.

ARRISON: Right (laughter). Right. Yeah. I’m curious what he’ll do about the rest of the movie because it’s such a American, jingoistic – you know, he fights the Russian – who is very much the Terminator with blond, spiky hair. And Rocky bests him on his home turf on Christmas Day, no less, and delivers this very stirring speech – (imitating Rocky Balboa) like, if you guys are like this and we’re like this, then maybe together we’re like this.

SIMON: You know, I just want to point out, Mr. Arrison, that Rocky delivered that speech, and four short years later, the Soviet Union fell apart.

ARRISON: You’re not wrong. I think, you know, Reagan, Gorbachev and Stallone should all take a bow.

(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, “ROCKY IV”)

DOORNICK: (As SICO) Happy birthday, Paulie.

SIMON: Writer and producer J. Christopher Arrison. Thanks so much for speaking with us.

ARRISON: Thank you so much for having me.

SYLVESTER STALLONE: “I’m Scrapping Paulie’s Robot From New ‘Rocky IV’ Cut”

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE BY STALLONE ON AUG 30, 2020 VIA INSTAGRAM: Sylvester Stallone is re-releasing “Rocky IV” stating that our robot – Paulie’s iconic maid robot – won’t be in the new Directors Cut.

THIS IS OUR RESPONSE 

Not only has SICO the robot gained a considerable following over the past 35 years, but his worldwide travels on behalf of the biggest corporations has also contributed to inspiring millions of people to watch – and continue to watch – Rocky IV.

It appears that Sly has misinterpreted the long-term value of “Pauli’s Robot.” 

Firstly. SICO IS NOT A PROP. Neither is he a limited actor. SICO is a socio-psychological phenomenon, who engages and bonds with humans from all cultures, creating deep and lasting relationships.

©International Robotics Inc. - Goodwill Robot Tours

Secondly, as a purpose-driven company, SICO’s earnings contribute to our ability to donate the robot’s services to hospitals, schools, rehab & senior centers. While our other corporate clients make it possible for SICO to continue his Goodwill work, I would like to encourage you NOT to edit out Paulie’s robot from your Director’s Cut as though removing a prop. By eliminating SICO, you are removing an iconic public relations tool.

DISAPPOINTING A LARGE FANBASE

On behalf of SICO’s fans, and on behalf of the millions of children who have been positively impacted by the world’s first & most active Social Robot, I ask that you reconsider your decision. If anything, why not contemplate shooting a couple of additional scenes with SICO to let the viewers discover SICO’s real-life mission by showing the Robot visiting a school or hospital?

The many days spent with you on the set were quite enjoyable. In truth, you liked SICO, and we all had a numerous impromptu moments on the set, playing games on visitors and guests, including a funny tease involving Brigitte Nielsen. SICO was so well liked that you actually added a very entertaining scene with Paulie (later edited out as often happens).

Robot SICO with Sylvester Stallone in ROCKY IV

You knew that SICO evolved from my work in the field of Special Education. You knew that he was a psychologically-designed, Surrogate Communications tool for working with the Learning Disabled, Autistic, Elderly and other Special Needs groups. The connection between our work with Autistic children, and your own son re-enforced your attraction to SICO.

We are saddened by your decision but will remain deeply grateful for the opportunities you gave us to help other children around the world. —Robert Doornick

THE ROBOT WITH A HEART: an overview

Since it’s infancy back in the early 1970’s, IRI has been a purpose-driven research group with the principal mission of delivering its free services to children throughout the world. Thanks to Rocky IV, SICO grew in popularity, developed a large following, and became known as “The Robot With A Heart.”

ACTRESS DREW BARRYMORE & ROBOT SICO  AT WALT DISNEY’S EPCOT OPENING.

Our funding mechanism for these free services typically comes from those who hire SICO. The robot’s many activities included a season on the Soap Opera, “Days Of Our Lives,” an ABC TV Special celebrating Walt Disney’s EPCOT with the late Danny Kaye and Drew Barrymore, as an MC of The Spanish Music Awards, Command Performances at The White House, The International Olympic Committee, The United Nations, before Their Majesties, The King & Queen of Jordan as well as His Royal Highness Sheikh Mohammed, Ruler of Dubai.

SICO’s career included Music Videos, Concert Tours, countless cameo appearances on sitcoms, and so much more that SICO was eventually accepted as the first and only non-human SAG/AFTRA card-bearing member. SICO the robot also became the first card-bearing Union Member.

But nothing has compared to the claims to fame SICO enjoyed, thanks to Sly’s decision to incorporate the Robot in the Rocky IV installment. As SICO continued his global travels and Goodwill Tours (SICO greets people in multiple languages), millions of fans recognized the Rocky Robot, asking for souvenir photos and autographs. Countless more were introduced to the Rocky Movies after meeting SICO.

We are grateful for it all.

Not only has Sly’s original choice to write SICO into several Rocky IV scenes paid for countless visits to children’s hospitals, schools, clinics, rehab and senior centers and orphanages, but also the subsequent SAG/AFTRA earnings have brought countless smiles on the faces of sick or orphaned children who were thrilled to meet the Rocky IV robot.

While SICO became the busiest entertainment, therapeutic, educational and corporate spokesbot in the world, SICO continues to be referred to as “The Rocky IV Robot.”

THE ROCKY IV LEGACY

Following the release of the Rocky IV movie, SICO was invited to host The World Design Expo in Nagoya, Japan “as The Rocky IV Robot who specializes in working with children.” For an entire summer, millions of visitors came to Nagoya to meet the Rocky IV Robot, take souvenir photos with their children, and walk past the displayed autographed boxing gloves, which Sly and Dolph generously donated to SICO at the conclusion of the film shoot.

Before he passed on, the world renowned artist Keith Haring (my then neighbor in SOHO, NYC) created two paintings of SICO, after SICO appeared at his SOHO Opening at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery.

SICO has continued to evolve functionally and aesthetically. Today, SICO is the world’s finest programmable & remotely controllable Robot. Under the skillful control of his Animators, SICO delivers Keynote Addresses and hosts events on behalf of his Corporate Sponsors through a combination of programmed features and memorable extemporaneous interactions.

COVID UPDATE: Working with Robots during the Pandemic

As a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Robots are suddenly receiving considerable positive attention for the end of 2020 and throughout 2021. The reason?

Our robots can be wiped & sterilized with each appearance to ensure a virus-free state for more convenient & safe interactions on the show floor or alongside human actors on stage.

COVID SAFE CLEAN PROMOTIONAL ROBOTS

WE CLEAN UNDER THE ARMS TOO!

As show attendees absolutely love to take souvenir photos with the Robot, this makes it possible for them to safely approach and stand close to the Robot in total confidence. For decades, we have used safe strategies when visiting children’s hospitals to bring joy and emotional comfort to patients afflicted with contagious diseases and who could not be visited by their own parents and loved ones. The robot would get cleaned up & sterilized, then enter the child’s room to spend precious and therapeutic moments with that patient.

Olympic Museum: Robot Olympia Goodwill Ambassador

PICTURED ABOVE: Robot “Olympia” at the Olympic Museum in Switzerland

In 1993, IRI’s Robot Olympia was given the role of Goodwill Ambassador for the International Olympic Committee based in Lausanne, Switzerland.  

Olympics Museum in Switzerland

Olympic Museum in Switzerland

Robot Olympia resided at the Olympic Museum, greeting visiting VIPs and dignitaries, hosting annual events, as well as interacting with the general public (taking thousands of souvenir photos).

Olympia’s primary function was to welcome thousands of international visitors in a multitude of languages. As time goes on, science & sports have become partners in the pursuit of excellence. In various venues within the museum, Robot Olympia also addressed audiences on the sciences & technologies employed in all sports to enhance both performance & safety. The appealing combination of humor + easy to understand information helped Olympia “humanize” those technologies for the general public. 

ARCHITECTS OF THE FUTURE

While Robot Olympia was enjoyed by all visitors, Olympia was particularly loved by the children who surrounded him, clinging to his arms. When enough little ones gathered around, Olympia would call them all, “architects of the future,” explaining that they would each play important roles in finding new solutions for a healthier Spaceship Earth. To make the very large subject of science more relatable to these small ones, Robot Olympia explained that they “are never standing still.” Reciting figures, he helped them understand;

–The speed at which they were presently moving as their “Spaceship Earth” was rotating on its axis
–The speed at which they were then orbiting around the sun.
–The speed at which the Sun was orbiting around the center of the Milkyway Galaxy
–The speed at which the Galaxy was expanding throughout the Universe
–Yet, there they were, seemingly standing still, but in the time it took for Olympia to share these calculations, they had travelled hundreds of thousands of miles!

IF YOU CAN DREAM…

Being a Goodwill Ambassador for the Olympics Museum included visiting local schools where Robot Olympia would deliver his inspirational presentation to these Architects of the Future, called “If You Can Dream…”

The involvement of International Robotics with developing technologies, led to the creation of an educational lecture called, “If You Can Dream,” which translates IRI’s knowledge of present and future technologies into a motivational vision of the astonishing solutions available. “If You Can Dream” addresses technological breakthroughs in Climate Change, agriculture, energy, transportation, medicine, water, Space Exploration, the functioning of the mind, the very DNA of our universe, Organic Technology, and how science & theology are making peace with each other.

COUSTEAU & THE OLYMPICS

The Aqua-Lung was invented in Paris during the winter of 1942–1943 by two Frenchmen: the engineer Émile Gagnan and the Naval Lieutenant Jacques Cousteau. It allowed Cousteau and Gagnan to film and explore more easily underwater, an unknown environment that the world was already polluting.

In 2002, his son, Jean-Michel Cousteau, was selected to be the first person to represent the environment in an Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee added environment to sport and culture as the third principle of the Olympics.

The environment calls for our help. Inspiring the young ones – our Architects of the Future  – to use technology to find solutions for our imperiled planet has always been our mission because they are our hope. The Olympic symbol represents the union of the “five continents” of the world. It is also our hope that the unity that the Games represent, will join us all in everyday life to find environmental solutions for the beautiful blue dot we all live on.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Why using an IRI robot prevents boredom

A keynote is a talk that sets the tone for the conference. It is usually the first general session presentation of the conference, or the first speech of the day.

Robot Keynote Speakers

Using a Robot Keynote Speaker Creates Excitement and Curiosity

SOME HIGHLY TECHNICAL SPEAKERS CAN SUCK THE ENERGY OUT OF A ROOM.

We make sure that does not happen.

Some speakers focus on motivation and inspiration, and can address any kind of audience. Others are more topical – they may specialize in sales, marketing, finance, etc., and can deliver content that is more relevant to a specific audience. Others focus on specific topics, say, coping with change. No matter the subject, we however, use humor.

There’s no right or wrong answer as to the type of keynote that will work for a particular group of people. The conference organizer has to consider the audience, whether they share the same needs and motivations, etc. to try to choose a speaker that will work for most or all of them. Humor and a professional but non-threatening demeanor has proven to be highly effective.

Keynote speakers need to have experience on stage and the ability to connect with an audience on an emotional level.

GETTING PERSONAL

The keynote address may entail an opening Keynote and closing Keynote speaker. An opening Keynote speaker is brought in to set the underlying tone and summarize the core message or most important revelation of the event. A closing Keynote speaker will be engaged to end a conference on a high note and leave audiences with a sense of optimism. If an event is held over a longer period, it is not unusual to have a different Keynote Speaker for each day of the event.

Robot Millennia - Keynote Speaker

No matter how many Keynote Speakers there are, the ones that people remember are the ones who personalize their talk. We make sure to get to know the company, and the people behind the company because being inclusive and humorous is highly valued by audiences who do not expect the unexpected.

ROBOT THERAPY: Robots, Loneliness & the Elderly

Loneliness is already a crisis in older adults but using non-threatening robots are now one way of combating Geriatric Depression.

ROBOT THERAPY - Loneliness & Older Adults

Robot GEMO trading stories

Recent research has revealed that robot therapy has the same effects on people as animal therapy. In addition, it is being recognized as a new method of mental healthcare for elderly people.

But 45 years ago, we already knew that.
Introducing a non-threatening, gentle robot into environments like hospitals, elderly care facilities, and centers for children & adults with disabilities would repeatedly prove therapeutically effective at improving communication. Through humor and dialog, International Robotic’s social robots on behalf of our clients would – for over 45 years – be able to connect with thousands of individuals who were withdrawn, depressed, angry or confused. It gives us great satisfaction to now observe how the scientific community is developing robot caregivers around the world.

“Social robots may promote the health of older adults by increasing their perceived emotional support and social interaction. Social robot interactions could improve engagement, interaction, and stress indicators, as well as reduce loneliness and the use of medications for older adults.” Lihui Pu, MSN, Wendy Moyle, PhD, Cindy Jones, PhD, Michael Todorovic, PhD
The Gerontologist, Volume 59, Issue 1, February 2019

ROBOT SEALS

Mental healthcare of elderly people is a common problem in advanced countries. Recently, high technology has developed robots for use not only in factories but also for our living environment. In particular, human-interactive robots for psychological enrichment, which provide services by interacting with humans while stimulating their minds, are rapidly spreading. Such robots not only simply entertain but also render assistance, guide, provide therapy, educate, enable communication, and so on. Robot therapy, which uses robots as a substitution for animals in animal-assisted therapy and activity, is a new application of robots and is attracting the attention of many researchers and psychologists.

The seal robot named Paro (yep…looks like a Baby Seal) was developed especially for robot therapy and was used at hospitals and facilities for elderly people in several countries. Recent research has revealed that robot therapy has the same effects on people as animal therapy. In addition, it is being recognized as a new method of mental healthcare for elderly people.

AND ROBOT DOGS

Robotic pets are now the next big thing in Dementia care. Lifelike dogbots offer a soothing presence without needing to be fed or taken for a walk. Here’s a great article about it: NBC NEWS

it makes sense that much of the research on AI’s potential to support aging individuals is focused not on just building virtual friends, but also on helping elderly individuals and their caregivers with practical tasks, especially those that help an older person age in their own home.

It has been a privilege for our social robots to visit Elderly Care facilities, Hospitals, Shelters, Rehabilitation Centers, Special Needs Schools, Developmental Disabilities Programs and Autism providers all over the world. We have met extraordinary people in the process, and learned extraordinary things. We still believe – and the scientific community now agrees –

ROBOTS & KIDS: We find them everywhere

The best part of what we do is the kids. The little humans. We make them laugh, they make us laugh.

Some kids are ill. Some cannot see or hear. Others have tough circumstances and do not smile easily.

We have experienced countless tender moments for over 45 years with the children of the world. We thank each and every one of them for those precious moments. Many are now grown with grandchildren and occasionally, we hear from them. They tell us that they remember feeling big and strong…they felt happy and that those feelings never quite left them.

It is our honor, and our privilege to visit Hospitals, Shelters, Rehabilitation Centers, Special Needs Schools, Developmental Disabilities Programs and Autism Providers (to name but a few). The awe and joy of children when they interact or touch Millennia or SICO or GEMO – time and again – transcends social barriers and constraints. These children say and do things that surprise everyone proving what we’ve always believed. We all have the potential to overcome. Humor, through the magic of kindness, always works wonders.

MEDICAL TRADE SHOW ROBOT: Up Close & Personal

KIBOW PHARMA has been a client for over a decade. This professional relationship is one of mutual respect and friendship. What they do is very serious because they are serious about kidney health. Robot Millennia’s successful appearances have a great deal to do with laughter. Laughter is the best medicine but laughter too is a serious business, and we do it well.

Robots from International Robotics travel worldwide on behalf of clients, and interact with many cultures, in many languages. The language however, that speaks the loudest is Laughter. Kibow® specializes in probiotic supplements for maintaining kidney health and boosting the immunity of the geriatric population by restoring their intestinal microflora. Established to help fight these rapidly growing health risks, Kibow® provides the highest quality non-drug dietary supplements at affordable prices.
So kidney health is nothing to laugh about but laughter puts people at ease. It makes the information relatable. Trade show attendees return to the Kibow booth repeatedly to a genial atmosphere that establishes trust and focus in an otherwise intensely distracting trade show environment.
