Lots of people fear technology. The factory worker who doesn't want to be replaced by a robot, the record industry executive who's too stupid to comprehend anything past an $18.99 CD, or movie executives who think heavy DRM and lots of hoop-jumping is fine with people that just want to watch movies on their fucking portable devices… But I digress. Hollywood and Japan express their fear of technological advancement in the most literal sense possible. These flicks are the most ridiculous examples of gadgets gone scary.

8. Chopping Mall
Evil technology: Robots
There's a huge list of movies that prove people's fear of robots: Blade Runner, The Matrix, I, Robot, AI, The Terminator, the "Itchy & Scratchy Land" episode of The Simpsons, etc. Chopping Mall is the story of some idiots locked in a mall with a robotic security system that goes out of control and starts decapitating everything. It's terrible, but great at the same time.

How to easily defeat the evil: Have you seen any robots lately? No, you haven't. And if you have, they were probably entertaining children or falling down the stairs. I'm pretty sure Pleo, the cute robotic dinosaur, isn't going to be enslaving me any time soon.
