I don't believe it was meant to be a hint. Just an observation about his inability to act, despite it being the best course of action. The CEO firing him was more of his own quick thinking, and Murphy's programming recognizing its value.
I will always find Johnson smiling and giving RoboCop the thumbs up hilarious and I thought it was a nice touch when the old man asked RoboCop his name and he said Murphy with a smile so you see he hasn't lost his humanity
Fun-fact: a cut scene showed Lewis recovering at the hospital and Murphy visiting her, but the test audiences found this scene so well done the director realized this was the scene to end upon.
The puppet was filmed on a different, narrower camera angle setup so when it was converted to the movie's widescreen angle it made it look like it had long arms
I watched this movie for the first time last year, I wanna say August, and I fell in love with it, the movie is so well done, so full of heart, it is so much better than a lot of what we have today. Sadly it seems to be the only thing in the robocop license that *is* good, the sequels look rough, the comics are mean spirited and lack the charm and humanity of this movie too
I think the Old Man is one of the most brilliant and fascinating characters in the original RoboCop. He is an incredibly cold, seemingly heartless business person, but only towards that which he does not respect; at the film's beginning he's more concerned about the company image and profits, rather than Kinney's death, and it's clear Kinney was not respected by anyone. In this scene he doesn't fear RoboCop, but acknowledges and respects his "power" and authority. The Old Man treats RoboCop as if he were any other human police officer, even compliments him as such. Such a shame they wrote him closer to a moustache-twirling villain for the sequel.

@@ariandynasRight but the only reason they’re able to get away with the bad stuff they do is because they bribe the government and the government uses its ever growing power.
@@memyselfandi6354 His opinion is just literally what the movie was about. Murphy worked hard, he didn't end up rich, he ended up turned into a robot monster, and basically dancing to the tune of rich murderers. You think this is a happy ending, just because some bad guy died? This whole situation is awful, and the movie is saying, this is where we are headed, we keep pouring money into militarizing the police, arming them to the teeth, while also making rich dudes immune from the law, what do you think is going to happen?
Originally he hadn't planned acting that way. He was meant to be much more quick and agile with bird like movements but the suit was too heavy and limited, it was decided he should slow down and exaggerate whatever movements possible within the suit. He could for example not walk downstairs without the thighs jiggling, he could barely catch the car keys thrown to him because the gloves were made of bouncy rubber, he had very limited vision through the helmet, lost gallons of sweat from the heat and weight of the suit, he could not fit inside the police car.
Peter Weller must have practiced for hours and hours perfecting those robotic movements. His body turns to look at things, the pivoting of legs independent from torso... he really knocked out the role.
@@Tallahassee21 they hired a dance instructor to teach him how to walk and them had to fly the man back in because the final suit was harder to move in than the prototype used in training.
I love how when RoboCop announces he can't act against anyone from OCP and then Dic Jones takes hostage. You can almost hear Murphy say, a little help here, Jones gets fired and that's when vengeance is complete. Great way to end it.
Technically, not vengeance. But justice. Robocop was following his three primary directives: 1. Serve The Public Trust 2. Protect The Innocent 3. Uphold The Law.
The final scene is obviously fantastic, but I really like the Ed209 subplot being wrapped up beforehand as well. “RoboCop” proves that he was the superior product all along, and we also get the human touch from Murphy with the satisfied smirk at destroying his enemy.
But Murphy delivers results. The dog can't. There's nothing against robocop going out into the streets and destroying every single one if he wanted to. At the same time they can't deactive him if they wanted to because he's not only valuable, he can destroy the dog in a moments notice if it's gone rogue, (like that "glitch")
This scene was filmed in a room in the Renaissance Tower in Dallas, Texas. But the outside shots where Robocop/Murphy destroyed ED-209 was filmed at the entrance to Dallas City Hall. Although the movie was set in Detroit, it wasn't actually filmed there. It was filmed in Dallas.
Just noticed it now that at 0:22 when the scene cuts back to robocop the second time after firing the rifle is suddemly jammed. Cartridge sticking sideays out of the firing chamber lmao
I love the voice change during this scene. When he first comes in, his voice is full RoboCop when announcing the charges, and you can hear it with the voice modulator. But when he says "Thank you" and "Murphy", it's his human voice. It shows where the machine ended and the human started.
Actually, it started much before, when Murphy shouted "Clarence!" as he confronted the crime lord at the steel mill's rusty waters. It was Murphy's voice, without any voice modulation, to show him regaining his humanity over the machine.
Robocop was a massive hit at the time, hence why they made several progressively worse sequels and a cringe PG13 TV show. And an OK'ish, fan service-milking, "Robocop vs. Terminator" franchise.
Peter Weller is a master of his craft. Any actor could’ve just played “Robot Cop” and made it a dumb action movie. But hai timing, voice tone, facial expressions, and movement really made it something special. The end smile is fantastic! You really feel like he’s come full-cycle, and big in to regain his humanity.
I always loved how, even after the incident with ED-209 and Mr. Kenny earlier in the movie, the execs still decided to keep a loaded magnum in the boardroom. Clearly in memory of their fallen fellow bootlicker.
Fun fact: the Robocop suit was uncomfortable to use especially in cars. So at the beginning when he gets out of the car, he’s only wearing the upper part of it, the lower part covered by the car. Also the camera perspectives are chosen to avoid ss many full body shots as possible.
"YOU'RE FIRED!!!!" "Thank you." Shoots him many times till he falls to his death, and Murphy declaring his name like a beast in the end with a smile never fails to be super iconic. NOW that's how you end a movie to perfection.
This clip has everything: Their supposed top of the line law enforcement and military unit taken out by two shots from a high powered rifle. Robocop opening a door and bringing a sound effect with him. I mean, someone has to do that sound effect when he opens a door and walks in. Probably a good thing he has the ability to do it himself and save the rest of us the trouble. A guy with holes in his lungs with the ability to yell. Oh, and the superpower to grow his arms when falling from height
That's anti armor w/ incendiary ammo. The first shoot deal w/ its armor, the 2nd one were kill shoot. For millitary grade, the droid suck; but for law enforcer they are deadly. In the other side, Robocop won't survive one anyway. Edit: btw you'r right.. his arms.. growiiing in lenght WTH lmao
I don't think it's a goof, the model's arms looked accurate, it's just that the uncanny valley of the stop motion model together with the unusual view of his arms as he turns over in the air make it look weird
You feel so bad for Murphy he suffers a traumatic death then is brought back as a robotic zombie with his memories, emotions and free will erased and is forced to obey the company that brought him back. It felt good when he got revenge on the criminals that tortured him. It was good to see more towards the end of the film glimpses of Murphy’s personality.
Not erased but rather blocked, his brain was still completely intact and the flashbacks he had were a result of him looking up his own name and his family, by doing that he inadvertently forced some of those blocks to be nullified but OCP treated them as a system glitch when he had the flashbacks and simply did a reboot to "fix" the issue but it didn't last as he continued to show more and more of his human side after albeit in a very subtle way until right near the end of the movie.
RC 2 was a guilty pleasure. Was HILARIOUS and had some key scenes that made me laugh the prototypes lol. It's not the greatest movie but is WORLDs better than RC3 which was almost unwatchable.
I, as a teen, was wondering what he was exactly going to show. And then, "I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it’s time to erase that mistake.” Perfect.
I will never understand why they made his arms so long as he fell but credit to the old man who delivered the bestselling kidney shot and to the film production this is a good film
The little details in this film was brilliant, when he was first turned into Robocop, he was a just drone no soul, and little details like a robotic voice. "yes I understand " By the end of the film, he had regained his humanity and little touches like loosing the robotic voice and adding more emotion when he said "murphy" and the smile was so effective and that he got back some of what he lost.
There is a split second after RoboCop destroys the ED-209 where you can see that the Barrett M82 prop gun had jammed. Also, you can clearly tell by the crimped head of the casing that it is a blank. That is why I love this movie so much.
Agreed, this movie is perfect and Peter Weller is the one and only RoboCop. This may be one of the most quotable movies of all time; my personal favorite quote probably is "Come quietly, or there will be... trouble!". The rock shop shootout that starts with this quote feels like the most superheroic scene of the film, with Robo just standing there being shot at, then only beginning to march forward leisurely like a machine warming up, then finally starting to fire back surgically, mercilessly, in some kind of... graceful choreography of death. All matched with corresponding segments of Basil Poledouris' fantastic score. 10/10, would buy for a dollar again!
That guy was Bob Morton's friend, and just by coming into work, he earned himself a front row seat to watch the man who murdered his friend get his comeuppance. I think we'd all react like him if we were in his shoes.
I love how mortal kombat didn’t leave out a single detail. Edd Boon really did a good job with him mk11. We literally saw, the sniper he uses in a fatality, the robot that helps him out down the road. Hell even the fist needle from when he punches the opponent in stomach..
How in the hell did they make robotic effects practically? It really looks like he has half a head. But it’s all practical. Blows my millennial mind. CGI has nothing on effects like that 🤯
Pretty sure the back part of his head was a kind of helmet, and then they used prosthetics at the edge of his face, to make it seem like the skin and helmet kind of blend together. That's why his face. and forehead, look quite big; because of the prosthetic skin overlaid.
Ya know it's a rare sight to see when a man falling from a tower and having the long arm disease at the same time, but with the citizens of detroit, this is just a typical Tuesday
When movies used to have real heroes, proper villains, real effects, lasting qualities of film, and an authentic color palette and film grain.. 80s was great!
Credit to the CEO for taking the hint Robocop gave when he walked in.
that`s true. that was the key to the entire scene
Yeah, you can see him looking around thinking of a way to get out of that situation, then looks at Murphy and the solution clicks into place.
Yeah as the CEO of a major corporation he is indeed smart.
Yup! Well played old man!
I don't believe it was meant to be a hint. Just an observation about his inability to act, despite it being the best course of action.

Love how he was shot no less than 6 times but still manages to scream with his goofy long arms as he falls down 100+ stories
Technically, there was five trigger pulls, but remembering that it's a three round burst, that means he got shot 15 times.

I will never understand why they made his arms so long as he fell but credit to the old man who delivered the bestselling kidney shot and to the film production this is a good film
The little details in this film was brilliant, when he was first turned into Robocop, he was a just drone no soul, and little details like a robotic voice. "yes I understand "
By the end of the film, he had regained his humanity and little touches like loosing the robotic voice and adding more emotion when he said "murphy" and the smile was so effective and that he got back some of what he lost.
When Murphy smiled we all smiled, few seconds later we all thought wow amazing movie 👏 👏 👍
1987 Robocop is a classic masterpiece.
Along with the 1984 the terminator
@@hectorlopez1069 and the thing and the fly
35 years later, 4K definition, and this movies and it's SFX look just as stellar as ever... what an absolute masterpiece.
i’ve always loved the sound effect of Robocop when he busts open doors. the sound design is so great in the movie.
1:42 that face hahahaha your job is mines now lol
This film was ahead of it's time and will never be bested!! 🙂
The BEST Robocop ever.
Amen ❤
“Murphy.”
What a simple but great way to reaffirm his humanity and end the movie.
There is a split second after RoboCop destroys the ED-209 where you can see that the Barrett M82 prop gun had jammed. Also, you can clearly tell by the crimped head of the casing that it is a blank. That is why I love this movie so much.
And now I’ll never not see that. Good catch
Nice catch on the stovepipe!
That look Johnson gave Richard was priceless.
This is actually what parking in detroit is like. Very sad. Pray for these people.

Forget the reboot from 2014. Peter Weller is and will always be Robocop.
Favorite Quote: Dead or Alive, You are coming with me.
Agreed, this movie is perfect and Peter Weller is the one and only RoboCop. This may be one of the most quotable movies of all time; my personal favorite quote probably is "Come quietly, or there will be... trouble!". The rock shop shootout that starts with this quote feels like the most superheroic scene of the film, with Robo just standing there being shot at, then only beginning to march forward leisurely like a machine warming up, then finally starting to fire back surgically, mercilessly, in some kind of... graceful choreography of death. All matched with corresponding segments of Basil Poledouris' fantastic score. 10/10, would buy for a dollar again!
Black guy having the time of his life

That guy was Bob Morton's friend, and just by coming into work, he earned himself a front row seat to watch the man who murdered his friend get his comeuppance. I think we'd all react like him if we were in his shoes.

この流れが好き。
That's how you end a movie!
I love how mortal kombat didn’t leave out a single detail. Edd Boon really did a good job with him mk11. We literally saw, the sniper he uses in a fatality, the robot that helps him out down the road. Hell even the fist needle from when he punches the opponent in stomach..
- Nice shooting, son. What's your name.
- Murphy.
- Murphy, YOU'RE FIRED!
HOBOCOP
- Thank you. I will go back to my wife and son, and look for a normal job.
As he puts his gun away and says "You just got Robocop'd...." True cinematic brilliance.
The most magical final word of any movie ever. Murphy.
This whole movie is about man regaining his humanity and the other one who loses it. And it's amazing.
1:35 I will always remember Bob for how good he made steaks
“Nice shooting, son. What’s your name?”
“Murphy.”
I love how he pulls up and sees Ed 209 and it looks like Murphy is thinking "not this thing again, hold on, I got you a present!"
They had better pay the cleaning lady extra for having to clean blood out of the carpet so often.
I find this one of the most satisfying endings to any movie ever.
How in the hell did they make robotic effects practically? It really looks like he has half a head. But it’s all practical. Blows my millennial mind. CGI has nothing on effects like that 🤯
I'm pretty sure the effects team won some awards for best makeup
Pretty sure the back part of his head was a kind of helmet, and then they used prosthetics at the edge of his face, to make it seem like the skin and helmet kind of blend together. That's why his face. and forehead, look quite big; because of the prosthetic skin overlaid.
i wondered that for years
@@roosterjackson7258 Excellent explanation, thank you. This level of prostethic work is inspiring to say the least.
@@roosterjackson7258 i always wondered how they did this with his head...
Ya know it's a rare sight to see when a man falling from a tower and having the long arm disease at the same time, but with the citizens of detroit, this is just a typical Tuesday
No one can convince me otherwise. This is the greatest movie ending ever.
The toe wiggle at 0:42…😂😂
This satisfying ending puts Robocop over as one of the best films of its era.
Not just in its Era it best most modern movies today
This film was awesome for the day! Can't beat 80/90's movies.
This is why the first robocop is the goat. The sequels should be considered their own thing. Robo 1 is perfect as is in terms of everything.
02:23 I love his reaction 😂
"Can't we have one board meeting that doesn't end with someone being killed by multiple gunshots?"
I always loved how powerful the explosions were in this movie…. They don’t make films half as good as this nowadays. Robocop is a classic
Just showed his humanity...Murphy!!!
2:48
My name is Cop, RoboCop.
2:24 The black dude completely enjoyed that kill 😂
That long arms scene when he's falling out the window is a classic

ROBOCOP 1987 IS THE ORIGINAL & THE BEST!
He might be the main bad guy, but the Old Man addresses Murphy as an officer, not a machine.
1편에선 중립적인 위치로 나옵니다. 후속작부터 악으로 나오죠.
0:17 God DAMN! those bullets are powerful!
Classic! I watched this in late 1980's from a video tape from Japan. Loving Robocop and Murphy so much!
When movies used to have real heroes, proper villains, real effects, lasting qualities of film, and an authentic color palette and film grain.. 80s was great!
