Carson Time Capsule... Thursday June 25

In the capsule today...

We find the stock market suffering one of the worst days ever, in what became known as Black Monday.

We find a futuristic police movie with a superhuman cyborg law enforcer. RoboCop was given an X rating 11 times by the MPAA, before enough graphic violence was trimmed to give it a marketable R rating.

And we find a single by Madonna becoming her fifth number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was a rocker written for Cyndi Lauper… but Madonna’s team snagged it, and transformed the track into a dance hit.

What is the year? (answer below).

The year... 1987!
