Two old 1985 D.A.R.Y.L Movie Press photos with Paramount Pictures COA. Includes Barret Oliver and more. You get them both..Daryl is found by an elderly couple and taken to an orphanage in the
fictional town of Barkenton, South Carolina; he does not remember who or what he
is. Though a normal pre-adolescent boy in most respects, Daryl begins to exhibit
extraordinary talents after he goes to live with his new foster parents Joyce
(Mary Beth Hurt) and Andy Richardson (Michael McKean). He is also introduced to
the neighbors of the Richardsons: Howie (Steve Ryan) and Elaine Fox (Colleen
Camp) and their children Sherie (Amy Linker) and Tyler "Turtle" (Danny Corkill).
Due to being raised in isolation, Daryl's social skills are rather limited, but
Turtle, a sarcastic, foul-mouthed wisecracker, manages to help him develop such
skills.Turtle wonders how Daryl can remember his name and how to read, but does
not remember anything else about himself. Daryl tells him that he was diagnosed
with amnesia, and that his real parents might pick him up one day. At Turtle's
house, Daryl notices Turtle playing Pole Position, and decides to try it out,
playing and reacting faster than humanly possible.Andy decides to teach Daryl how to improve his social skills by teaching
him how to play baseball, to which Daryl shows uncanny abilities, including
hitting multiple home runs; one of them shatters a window. When Andy shows Daryl
how to use an ATM, Daryl helps Andy to rectify a problem when it won't accept
his credit card. Daryl then makes a transaction with the ATM which results in
Daryl withdrawing $100 dollars from Andy's account, but then manipulates the ATM
to show $1,426,372 in Andy's account.The baseball game starts with Andy's team, the Mohawks, facing the
Warriors, coached by a rival of Andy's, Bull MacKenzie (Hardy Rawls). Daryl
shows off his impressive ability, and the Mohawks start winning the game, but
Turtle — who had noticed that Joyce is slightly annoyed that she cannot do
anything for Daryl because Daryl can look after himself perfectly — tells him
that it is okay for him to not always be perfect and to mess up sometimes; Daryl
ends up striking out his next turn, so Turtle ends up taking over for Daryl as
the cleanup hitter. Turtle manages to hit a home run, and wins the game for the
team, and everyone is joyous over the Mohawks' victory.However, just as the Richardsons have truly begun to form a bond with
Daryl, their new-found happiness is shattered when government agents find him
and return him to the TASCOM facility where he was created, in Washington, D.C.
Once there, his memory is restored and he is debriefed on the lessons he learned
during his time with the Richardsons. Notable items in the debriefing include
his decision to strike out at a baseball game, because sub-optimal performance
in some areas can be more beneficial when building relationships with others, as
well as his subjective preference for chocolate-flavored ice cream over
vanilla-flavored ice cream. Because Daryl has revealed a capacity for human
emotions, including fear, the D.A.R.Y.L. experiment is considered a failure by
the military and the decision is made that the project be "terminated".Dr. Jeffrey Stewart (Josef Sommer), one of Daryl's designers, decides to
free Daryl so he can return to the Richardson family. Unfortunately, despite the
cooperation of Dr. Ellen Lamb (Kathryn Walker) - who was originally skeptical
about Daryl's humanity and had alerted the military to Daryl's continued
existence - they do not get away cleanly. When asked by the military to justify
her complicity, Dr. Lamb offers a reformulation of the Turing test: "General, a
machine becomes human... when you can't tell the difference anymore," implying
that she is no longer certain that Daryl is not human.Daryl and Dr. Stewart manage to escape the first wave of pursuers, thanks
to Daryl's advanced driving skills, apparently acquired through playing the Pole
Position video game. As the sun comes up, they drive into the Northern Virginia
countryside and steal a pickup truck to avoid being recognized. However, when
passing two police roadblocks, Dr. Stewart is mortally wounded by a police
officer's shotgun. With his dying words, he assures Daryl that he is indeed a
real person and Daryl continues his escape.That night, Daryl sneaks into a nearby USAF airbase, hacks into a computer
to trigger several faraway alarms as a distraction, and steals a Lockheed SR-71
Blackbird. Daryl sets a course for Barkenton, and contacts Turtle telling him
and Sherie to meet up with him at Blue Lake, a lake where he and Turtle had been
before.Because their missiles cannot intercept the plane, the Air Force tells
Daryl that the plane will be vaporized mid-flight using a self-destruct
mechanism. Daryl ejects at the last moment to fake his own death, as the plane
is blown apart over Barkenton. In the meantime, Turtle and Sherie bike to the
lake to meet up with Daryl. Unfortunately, the ejection had knocked Daryl
unconscious, and he plummets into Blue Lake in his ejection seat with a deployed
parachute. The added weight of both the seat and the parachute causes him to
sink and Daryl drowns. When his body resurfaces, Daryl is rushed to the
hospital, but shows no signs of life and is officially declared dead.
Everyone is depressed over Daryl's death, even though Turtle says that
since he is a computer, he can't die. In the hospital, Dr. Lamb finds him and
reactivates his electronic brain, restoring him to life. Now that he is declared
dead, Daryl is no longer on the run from TASCOM and is free to return to his
foster family. As Turtle walks out of the Richardsons' house, he sees Daryl
running back to the house, and they joyfully reunite with everyone................................................................... I am
