The following might sound like pop culture Mad Libs but it's 100% true.
The Jurassic Park guy [1] directed an 80s sci-fi film [2] about malfunctioning domestic robots. I saw a few minutes of it on cable in the late 90s. There's a scene [3] where Magnum PI does battle with an overhead projector on wheels that has a .38 duck-taped to it in the distantly-future year 1991. The movie was about as good as the robot was menacing, which is to say it wasn't. The critics didn't think so either.
