While most cities honour notable politicians Detroit residents have raised over $50,000 to erect a giant sculpture of RoboCop.
It all began with a message sent via the social network Twitter to the mayor of the Motor City, Dave Bing.
A Detroit resident called 'MT' tweeted: 'Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky, RoboCop would kick Rocky's butt. He's a great ambassador for Detroit.'
The mayor responded with the Tweet: 'There are not any plans to erect a statue of Robocop. Thank you for the suggestion.'
Despite the mayors luke warm response the idea quickly sparked an Internet campaign and the facebook page, Detroiters for a RoboCop Statue, rapidly gained fans.
Then a local non-profit organisation, Imagination Station, set up a fund, 'Detroit Needs A Statue of RoboCop!' where people could donate online.
Within days $25,000 had flooded in from Detroit residents and fans of the 1987 sci-fi movie.
A Californian man, Pete Hottelet, then gave a whopping $25,000 of his own cash to double the money for the RoboCop tribute.
Pete, 32, owns a company called Omni Consumer Products, the same name as the fictional jumbo-conglomerate that controls the dystopian society in the movie.
The San Francisco resident is also a huge fan of RoboCop: 'I think it's a fantastic film. The special effects were incredible for the era,' he said.
'The more money we raise the bigger the statue can be,' he added.
Detroit man, Brandon Walley, is the brainchild for the campaign - he believes the statue will be a great boost for tourism in the Michigan city, which was left financially-crippled after the near collapse of the motor industry.
'It will bring people to visit. It's also just a cool idea,' he said.
