Rob Bottin is the Bernini of sculpture and special effects in movies. Amazing artist.

Ironically, in the scene shown @ 0:55 onwards, it was Stan Winston who created the special f/x. Also at 1:35 & 4:51!

[@BrucknerMotet]

He actually won that academy award eventually. For his work on Total Recall. Oh, and he also worked on RoboCop. His imagination produced the body and armor design for the RoboCop character.

CGI is crap, the :oldskool sfx of the 1980,s is better.
