@@thedigitalemotion 'standard definition' ...what are you talking about?? SD is a video term. This movie was shot on 35mm film, not even related to standard definition.
I've always said that it's actually a drama, not an action movie. A man who has a family that thinks he's dead and he's trapped in steel and can't do anything about it.
But to anyone who doesn't understand scifi it can appear to be a tacky throwaway action gore movie for young viewers but its so much more than that, the cinematic detail in the movie is remarkable and the satire and chemistry off the charts, its also one of the darkest action movies ever made, nothing in this league being made nowadays, the last one was probably District 9.

@@meisterlymanu5214 It's actually in my top 5. One of the best screenplays and sound tracks ever produced. There is no need for me to "seek help". I just have better taste in movies than you is all. ^^
@@TheBerylknight my chinese mates best movie is Transformers. I had to leave the room at that point. Robocop is a clever send up, nothing more. If you like send ups. Starship troopers was another.
@@meisterlymanu5214 Starship Troopers was ok. But no where near approaching the same league as Robocop. That film works on so many different levels it's a miracle of filmmaking. It's one of the reasons I say the 80's was America's renaissance. Because the amount of creativity that went into so many films of that era were nothing short of genius.
My dad was a cop and when I saw that scene it scared the living daylights out of me that the same would happen to my dad. I used to beg him not to go to work for about a month after I saw the film. It was a great film though! Think I was 9 when I first saw the film
This is just the best action hero film of that year, and probably the best film period. And that gas station scene, which was front and center in the trailer, is just perfect. That sound design is killer.
The book has a little more insight into what he was seeing ,and thinking. At the end he thinks,will I have to watch my friends get old and die while I go on?
Excellent framing. Excellent layering. Excellent lighting. Film grain 🤌🏿 impeccable. The sound is excellent. This no name actor is really good at delivering his lines. Everything about this scene is excellent 👌🏿
I miss that feeling of racing to the video rental store with parents on a Friday night and you grab the last video sitting behind the original box cover art amongst the other 10 empty boxes of same movie others were renting
This film is a masterpiece. Wish the film industry these days had the balls to make new original films instead of trying to capture a lightning in a bottle twice.

They don't make movies that really grip you like this anymore. Where you feel the confusion he does when he keeps replaying the "we killed you" part over and over again.
He couldn't get the wallet from his pocket and find out who he was? This could have saved 3 hours from the entire movie 😮 And look at the CGI of the explosion, the fire, the guy hitting the car at full speed and the landing still better than today's computers😮

And yet people can’t recognize Superman when he puts on glasses.

Even the sound he makes when walks is so memorable

Yeah and also the early 00s especially when it came to comedy
dance with the wolf
Yup
I can watch them a trillion times
'87? still holds up almost 40 years later. Who would've thought a good story and script was all that was needed? Not todays writers that's for sure.
Today's writers are a bunch low lifes that haven't experienced real life. They try write a script about their own demented fake world.
Made me chuckle this did 😂 so true.
As long as there’s something they can just lazily remake, no need for a script! 🤬
I still live in Dallas, where the movie was filmed. I can name or recognize all of the city locations, including this one off Ross Avenue
It's actually happening in dem run cities
A masterpiece and it’s still ahead of time.

I'd like to thank everyone responsible for creating this timeless classic.
I can watch two movies for the rest of my life! Terminator 2 and Robocop!!
bro, dap me... 🤜🏾
Predator Robocop and T2
I would take Robocop over Terminator.
Wow same lineup here
"Drop it" man that takes me back to the arcade days
Loved that arcade game
This movie was soo ahead of it's day man
Dude the sounds man, it gives everything material and weight. The sound designer is a freaking genius
We need RoboCop today more than ever.
ESPECIALLY in 🏴 due to the rioting.
I was in high school when this came out. Man those were the best days for movies.
The sound design, costume, music! It’s perfect! Absolutely gorgeous well made movie!
I'm still traumatized by Murphy's death.
Lot’s of kids were and still are. I speak for myself.
🤜🤛
The complete helplessness of his situation and that Lewis couldn’t do anything to stop it…..
…he got better
My dad was a cop and when I saw that scene it scared the living daylights out of me that the same would happen to my dad. I used to beg him not to go to work for about a month after I saw the film. It was a great film though! Think I was 9 when I first saw the film
@@findjonmoses Jesus! That would not let me sleep either!

Best Robocop movie ever!!!!
Antonowsky : asked gas station clerk if he thinks he can outsmart a bullet.
Also Antonowsky : thought he could outrun a bullet. Failed epically.
Pretty hilarious when he flew 😂
@@mattburke5491 he flew like a bullet. No pun intended. 😁
That was a scumbag move, the poor worker already complied!
The movie Robocop is sure to be one of the 10 masterpieces of the century.
I always love the Dead or alive you're coming with me line
This is just the best action hero film of that year, and probably the best film period. And that gas station scene, which was front and center in the trailer, is just perfect. That sound design is killer.
The music transition when Emil realizes who he is amazing. Basil one of the best to ever do it.
I miss the good movie days 😥
Never to come back unfortunately, nowadays they would make him wearing a wig and lipstick in search of his sexuality
100% agree
Also, we miss walking to get the videotape for rent 😢
They don't have the imagination or creativity nowadays, its been drained out of people, they have all the toys but none of the talent.
The remake had none of this.
This movie brings back my childhood. Great, GREAT writing is the basis. Throw in great acting and you have a classic.
Was 8 years old when this movie came out. By far my favorite and have watched it multiple times that I can’t even count how many.
Man, you sound just like me. That is exactly what I’ve been saying since I was 10 😂
This movie is so violent, I love it!
this is when Alex Murphy begins to regain his memory
drop it!
The book has a little more insight into what he was seeing ,and thinking. At the end he thinks,will I have to watch my friends get old and die while I go on?
No. Actually he forgot everything. He only "felt" he had a family.
@@adamkwiecien5489 he literally has flashbacks of his family when going to his house
Alex: What Year Is That?
When I hear Robocop say, “drop it!” I have some kind of happy-place nostalgia response I can’t really explain.
Beautiful scene. The way he pauses to playback "You're dead ..." in his mind is just gorgeous cinema.
Excellent framing. Excellent layering. Excellent lighting. Film grain 🤌🏿 impeccable. The sound is excellent. This no name actor is really good at delivering his lines. Everything about this scene is excellent 👌🏿
1:52 the color split 👏🏿 red-orange/blue that says police. They took their time creating every single shot omfg no wonder this movie was so perfect.
My favorite movie of all time!
I could probably quote this movie from beginning to end lol!
I love this movie & it's robotics cinematography! Way before it's time but definitely spot on! The sounds & movement are marvelous! 👍💯
Lol, the college boy took his books with him when he ran off . True dedication
Just this scene alone was a masterpiece. The angles, the backgrounds of the shots. It has a good superhero vibe.
Legendary film, seeing this & the terminator for the very first time as a kid in the 80s was amazing
One of the best movies of all time.

The shows the human spirit can never be deleted.
A masterpiece for sure. Over the top and amazing. This is one of my favorite movies.
ROBOCOP: Halt!
This is the best Robocop of all times !
I feel sadness and joy watching films like this. Joy as it brings back deep nostalgia and sadness knowing we'll never see films like this again.
Media is gradually being more and more turned over to the common man, so saying we'll never see great movies like this again is maybe an exaggeration. It just won't come from major studios, but rather independent creators.
Man such a killer soundtrack
Masterpiece
This film is an absolute masterpiece.
Man, that soundtrack.. expertly woven in 👌
My favorite Paul Verhoeven movie and 2nd favorite Basil Poledouris film score.
Terrifying when robocop started walking towards him. Actors with passion
0:46 onwards....the score turns into a such a suspensful masterpiece......it really got you to emote with the feelings of a robot......and especially another scene....when anne lewis says Murphy its you
love this freaking movie! Made such an imprint in my life. im a 82 baby............No better time to be alive!
1:34 the shot lasts a second... but have you ever seen a shot like that???
Still the perfect movie 40 yrs later...
That line. "We killed you" is an understatement.
Love this movie. Seen both versions. I could quote this movie all day
"I'd buy that for a dollar!" 😂 💵 🤣
One of the best action films still.
Whats most amazing is that the criminal later goes on to become one of the top ER surgeons in Chicago!
And then gets a helicopter dropped on him🤣
He turned his life around.

Classic movie. Never will get old.
The performance of the bad guys in this movie is biblical.
Ironically, this movie beats many new movies when it comes to story, special effects, and pure awesomeness.
My most loved film of all time. Can't even remember how many times I've watched it now.
Guy mustve loved his books
ROBOCOP: Where’s Clarence?
Yes, this is an absolute classic, yet it is still relevant in its true-to-life satire.
I can never understand why they don't make movies like this anymore. Is it just a simple case of it's 'already been done'?
What a TREMENDOUS film.
The 80s...the good old days
Emil M. Antonowsky is 100% right...
No nerd studying Plane Geometry can out smart a bullet😊
They don't make movies that really grip you like this anymore. Where you feel the confusion he does when he keeps replaying the "we killed you" part over and over again.
They put a lot work into these old movies with out computer graphics and it really shows.
That dude got done dirty throughout the entire movie. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karma is harsh, but fair.
I saw this movie with my mom when I was 8 years old. One of the best superhero movies of the 80s.
This movie still hits me after all these decades. Amazing still.
What a great movie
One of the best movies as a kid and still just as good!
isn't this the same dude who gets turned into toxic slop near the end? lol. another great grotesque scene from this classic.
brilliant movie with strong characters through out

But we would have never gotten the "This is a restricted area" scene.
this film is so good. 😀
One of my favorite films of all time
Masterpiece of Sci-Fi cinema
There was a strange passion people had for film making in the 80s and 90s. Sadly that passion is no more.
A masterpiece !
A story about a guy who died and they still made him go to work.
This is the best comment
Man, when he gets out the car and draws his gun, that scene is iconic. You can't improve on that armour it's classic.
Memory reboot! Such a great scene!
Huge fan of this movie 🎉😊
Flea has a pretty good memory
He knows Robocop’s chin very well.
I watched this movie back in the 90s. I was a kid, today at 39 years(2024) this movie gives off a cyberpunk/futuristic vibe
