One of my favourite movies from childhood. Never forget the triumphant music score as Robocop goes on his first mission. Such a great performance from Peter Weller. My favourite line from the movie......."I'm not arresting you anymore". ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah at the time this movie would have been incredible! I still found it very enjoyable though and charming, easy to immerse yourself. And yea the score was awesome 🙌
@@thecocoacouch its a great movie robocop 2 good robocop 3 terrible 😊
That music completely makes the scene. Heroic, hopeful. If you like that, you'll like the scene analysis I did of Robocop's entrance on my channel.
It has deeper meanings, it's not just an action movie about shooting bad guys. It's the story of how he recovers his humanity and identity.
I find the empty house scene as brutal as the execution scene. It's so sad, and the actor somehow played it so perfectly that you know how the character is feeling without him saying a word, just with motions. Most of his face is covered but it's like we can see expressions, we can tell he's becoming more and more enraged when he figures out who he was and that he lost his family.
There are more details like the voice, at first he sounds robotic, but by the end of the movie he sounds human again.
The movie has funny parts too, so it has action, drama, comedy, and it shows a deteriorated society and how corrupt companies do things and care only about profit. I think it's a great movie and holds up perfectly. It never gets boring, I've watched it hundreds of times and I still find it amazing. It has a good hero, great villains, good music, good performances of the actors, good special effects (except for the long arms hahaha, that's the only flaw I can think of), I think this movie has it all.
Yeah it was so fun to watch! Ofc it has themes and a good story behind it, I think it just doesn’t have a lot of subtext, it makes it pretty clear to the audience what the story is, what the characters are going through and the consequences of corporate greed and corruption etc. really liked it though, I’ve heard the new one isn’t as good but it focuses a lot more on the themes?
@@thecocoacouch The new one feels like made by OCP. It has some interesting scenes, but it's not very good.
The effects guys were real pros, too. Not sure why they didn’t notice or fix the long arms. Maybe they noticed later but there was no time or budget to fix it?
@@thecocoacouch th-cam.com/video/J06aB-3Y2OU/w-d-xo.html this is how terrifying it is 😊
@@thecocoacouch On another level there's a pretty decent allegory. Hint: Robocop is depicted as walking on water at the end.
Yea, the memory of his family gave his will to stay "alive". This is the heart of the movie. To start, you see a commercial where they tell you the heart is replaceable by all these companies of your choice, but what they cannot replace is something deeper, the human spirit, the heart of the movie is Alex Murphy.
27:16 "You think being a creep is gonna work?"
Fun fact: They both hit it off behind the scenes and married after shooting wrapped up.
😳😂 of course they did.
Wasn't she his wife already?
@@thaik56 he had been married but divorced, then the two met on set and hit it off, according to the behind the scenes video.
@@vjpearcehe also mentioned it not too long ago now in an interview with Rich Eisen.
"Bitches, leave." is one of the greatest lines in cinema.
“I didn’t know this movie was going to be so graphic…”
Dude, Clockwork Orange coined the term “ultra-violence” but Robocop personified it! Murphy’s execution, which you saw uncut, originally gave the film an X rating.
Yeah I figured that out the hard way… a.k.a the fun way 😂
They also had to cut down how long ED-209 shot the guy in the boardroom. The theatrical version wasn’t quite as extensive.
I don't think you're ready for I Spit on Your Grave yet......both original and remake.
@@nancysorto4769 Already saw both. You are too late.
@@NocturnEternal Revenge is sweet ain't it lol.
Great video mate, this is your best video by far. I can't wait for your videos on
The Shawshank Redemption and The incredibles, two of my favourite movies of all time and two of the greatest films ever.
No this actually IS the kind of a movie with a deeper meaning. This is satire at its best ,and Verhoeven was able to predict some of the most absurdly corrupt aspects of current American society. Watch it again through that lens and you'll see that it's more than just a simple linear story. There are layers to this one. You'll find this same satirical intelligence in his later sci-fi offerings, "Total Recall" and "Starship Troopers". The closest we've come to this brand of sci-fi is the television show, "The Boys".
Haha yeah it’s okay I know, I meant like there’s no subtext, it’s pretty clear it’s satire and the message behind it. I’m gonna in future pretty soon go in more depth about how I felt about movies like this. Thanks though ☺️
Actor Ray Wise, never got to see Emil in the makeup and prosthetics before their scene together.. So his reaction was genuine..
People have still been alive after some wild stuff.
In WWII my grandfather on my dad's side took 8 7.92mm rifle rounds, including one through the neck, AND a frag grenade all at once. Lived another 52 years.
+ he was wearing bulletproof vest
8:28 -- The steel mill is a real location just outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania... Granted the movie was filmed in the 80s, so I'm not sure what is there now.
Great reaction to the movie! Robocop 1987 is one of my favorite movies. The only thing, in my opinion, is that it is better to show some moments in the film, key or interesting scenes in their entirety, continuously along with your reaction to what is happening. This way the emotions and drama of what is happening in the film are better conveyed.
Yeah totally understand. I’m still trying to figure out how much footage from the film I can put in. I’ve seen other big reactioners have the film full screen and they’re small but it looks like they have an editor doing it. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it though ☺️
I'm sure you will succeed ;) In my opinion, it is better to shoot and show more material than less. Even if it seems that the video turned out to be big. I think it's better for you to shoot the reaction to the whole film, and then just cut out uninteresting and boring dialogues, meaningless scenes that do not affect the plot, etc. Аnd then it will be cool)
I hope that you will soon shoot a reaction to the movie Robocop 3. Make it more detailed 😊
Like I said, totally get it (don’t forget I also have a job and am studying and I’m barely able to do 3 videos a week so making longer videos would take too much time) it’s a slow progress thing, can’t really grow overnight.
@@Vlad.Larionov I'm planning on doing that in the future when I make a patreon, then I'll have the full versions up on that!
Here's something... When Mr Kenny gets blasted by ED-209 you are laughing, it's suppressed laughter but it's there.
Murphy getting blasted away creates a very different emotion.
We call that good film making. 2 almost identical scenes providing 2 completely opposite feelings.
They need to teach this in 'film making' classes. Haha
Should be pretty simple that it all depends on character building and the connection the audience has with them. Yet it’s still rare today in movies 😭
"Does nooone know how to choke him out" Actually cops still aren't trained to choke people out, but back when this movie was made in particular nobody really even heard of Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu much less knew how to use it. Ground fighting and submissions didn't gain any sort of popularity in the US until the founding of the UFC which happened in 1993.
Dude gets absolutely destroyed by ed209 in the office “can somebody call a paramedic!” Makes me laugh everytime
Haha yep I was like ITS TOO LATE FOR THAT.
You should react to Conan the Barbarian (1982) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger if you haven't seen it. Same music composer as RoboCop. imo, a true masterpiece of music. The movie is pretty good too :)
That’s also another classic I need to watch at some point thanks!
"where are they getting all these assault rifles?" Me an American: 👀
😂😂 still amazes me lol
Nuke’em is a real game and I would love to get my hands on one.
"What's with his arms" is always the reaction to that end scene lol. It's so weird and looks just like Touchy Tim.
27:18 -- heh.. Actually, Kurtwood Smith married that actress in real life.. They met on the set. :P
G'day. Another Aussie here. Your reactions are great. For me a breath of fresh air. The way I think and did when I was younger. I hope in the future there is a way to donate so you can continue make this great content.
Oh cheers man!! I really appreciate it ☺️ I think as the channel grows I’ll add more things like patreon, different kinds of videos, live videos sometimes etc. barely at 1000 right now so… 😂 thanks for the encouragement though, love meeting other Aussies.
Hard to believe Red Foreman could be so ruthless.
"That thing's going to just kill people!"
ED-209 "Hold your beer..."
Best three words of the film: "Dick . . . You're fired!"
Ah yes, the joy 😂😂
Awe special effects before CGI, were so good.
4:32 -- The movie is set around the year 2043 .. (according to Wikipedia)
Ohh. Makes a lot more sense.
Just watched your reaction to "the whale" and really liked it.. So now I'm subscribed and watching my second video on your channel.. Keep up the good work.. 👍
I appreciate it! ☺️ Welcome 🍺
27:10 - the actor who played Clarence Boddicker is Kurtwood Smith and the receptionist in this scene is actually his wife
Haha yeah I heard 😂 that would have been so funny to act.
Director Paul Verhoeven made some really enjoyable sci-fi films that are intentionally over the top, and satirical. Checkout Starship Troopers (1997) and Total Recall (1990).
Definitely wanted to watch total recall at some point and I’ll add starship troopers to the list. Thanks!!!!
@@thecocoacouch Starship Troopers is a satire of Fascism and propaganda movies from the same writing duo that did Robocop, with a similar style, loosely based on Robert A. Heinlein's book of the same name, but subverting its apparent message. On the surface, it's a dumb war movie about infantry fighting giant bugs in space, but look a little closer, it's actually a condemnation of the Military Industrial Complex with dark humor.
While you're at it, check out the movie Dredd, starring Karl Urban, then Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone. The movies are a little different in style, Dredd being more like a gritty Action movie with gruesome violence, while Stallone's movie is closer to a Sci-Fi Adventure movie, but they are both based on a long running comic book that also was a major influence for the writers of Robocop and to Verhoeven, but only after he had accepted to take the job of directing the movie.
Also, check out Verhoeven's original version of Total Recall, starring Arnie, as it is inspired by a Philip K. Dick story. Dick also wrote the novel that became the basis for Alien director Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Total Recal was written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shussett, who had also collaborated writing Ridley Scott's Alien! Like Robocop, Total Recall was also recently remade, or re-imagined, as a more child-friendly, PG-13 movie, discarding the over-the-top violence of Paul Verhoeven movies.
And if that wasn't enough connections, James Cameron (writer/director of Terminator 1&2, Abyss, Titanic, Avatar, True Lies) has said he was inspired by the book Starship Troopers, when writing a sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien.
Also, comic book writers John Wagner and Alan Grant, who have been frequent collaborators on Judge Dredd, have also written titles like Batman, Lobo for DC and even a Punisher story for Marvel, have done several crossovers, where Judge Dredd has met Alien, Predator, Lobo and Batman. Batman / Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham is the best of the bunch IMHO. In it, Dredd comics arch villain Judge Death, a ghostly, skeleton-like, supernatural massmurderering, dark caricature of a Judge from parallel dimension and Mean Machine Angel (a hilariously dumb psychopath with cybernetic parts and a dial on his head, who also made an appearance in the Stallone movie) end up in Gotham, while their dimension belt moves Batman to Megacity, where he meets the much kinder and more reasonable Psy-Division Judge, Cassandra Anderson (a psychic who made an appearance in the Urban movie) and Judge Dredd. Despite their obvious differences, after butting heads, Dredd and Batman join forces, together with Anderson, to take down Scarecrow, Death and Mean Machine.
This is so well done that you totally rooting for legalized violence in nice moral and flashy suit 😂
You should watch all five RoboCop movies. Watch Lady Battle Cop!
Did he recognize Robocop at the gas station? Most reactors miss this: He said the same thing he'd said at the factory..."Dead or alive you're coming with me."
Correction, his footsteps mimick the beating of the heart. Alex Murphy has risen again.
The "fly around like Ironman" comment is funny because he does do that in the 3rd Robocop!.
I mean it’s the smart move to get people into the cinema again 😂
I got the lucky 1000th sub 🥹 great reaction by the way!
Haha made my day man 😂😁 glad you enjoyed the vid!
"Where are these people getting assault rifles?"
Welcome to America, kid!
It's OK to find some deeper meaning from this. Issues of humanity, identity, consumerism, privatisation of services and the problems it creates, satire of corporate greed and the military industrial complex.
The writers, Michael Miner and Edward Neumeier were both fans of the satirical British comic book antihero Judge Dredd, first published in magazine format Sci-Fi comic book 2000 AD in 2077. They would have liked to make a Dredd movie, but could not get the rights. Instead, they pooled together some other ideas they had, also taking inspiration from Judge Dredd comics. Dredd is a Lawman in post-apocalyptic America, in Megacity 2, a huge, overcrowded city with great skycrapers and rampant crime, whereJudges, helmeted motorcycle cops with the power to deal sentences on city. Dredd is basically an antihero, constantly grumpy, never takes his helmet off and the Judges are, essentially, Fascists. The comics have ultra violence, satire, parodies of commercials and even a few lines in Robocop's dialogue was taken straight from these comics, like the running gag, where Dredd is facing a huge crowd of enemies, totally outnumbered, but tells the "perps" to surrender, or there will be trouble. In the factory raid scene in Robocop, this was repeated, even if the jokey nature of it was understated. The comic book has inspired not only bands like Cure or Anthrax, who have a song named after Dredd's catchphrase "I am the Law", but also two movies, the more Sci-Fi action adventure style Judge Dredd starring Sylvester Stallone (softened for a younger audience and Dredd even removes his helmet!) and the gritty, more realistic and extremely violent reboot Dredd, starring Karl Urban. Stallone movie is closer to Demolition Man while Urban's version has more similarities with Robocop.
The writing duo also collaborated with Verhoeven on Starship Troopers, loosely based on Heinlein's book, which they all considered a glorification of military power. They took a different stance, making the movie styled somewhat like a propaganda war adventure movie, but at the same time, a deconstruction of the book, a backhanded attack at the military industrial complex and fascism , laced with dark humor and ultra violence. News clips and hilariously tasteless propaganda ads are used as world building, very much like they did with Robocop.
Interesting. It’s so fascinating to see where writers get their inspiration and also where actors draw their inspiration to create nuanced performances. I’d like to see Karl Urbans take on Dredd at some point since I’m a fan of his acting (especially in The Boys) I’d also like to see their other movies. Thanks for the super thorough comment! Love learning more about these movies and what went into them. ☺️ Cheers! 🍻
Robo's face is, according to the FX team... a death mask... a rubber copy of Murphy's face made from a mould after his death. This was so that, were he to get any of his memory back, he wouldn't disassociate and go insane by not seeing his own face in the mirror. His brain and digestive tract is still organic but the rest of him is robotic.
Right! So his face is fake too. Okay. Makes sense they built that in, not out of empathy of course, just to make sure their expensive asset doesn’t malfunction 🙄
@@thecocoacouch the sequel hints at this. Robo 2 isnt as good, but it's a good effort. Different director and writers... its darker but "comicbookier"... 3 is just a straight up kids cartoon... it's like they tried to soften the character to appeal to kids.. which is why there was a cartoon series and a Marvel comic.
@@DanJackson1977 they just said to his wife in robocop 2 to appease her, so she could let him go. Its murphy's face.
@@happyapple4269 Murphy says to his wife "they made this.. to honor him".. bjy its "cold" to the touch. she wouldn't have known if he hadn't been lurking.
I don't think that was the intention in the original. I think before the sequels, comics, tv series, games or articles explaining details, in the original movie it was supposed to be his real face.
Just discovered your channel and think it's fantastic !!!!!
Thankyou!!!! Glad to have yah ☺️
This was another classic 80's movie Robocop 2 was ok 3 was bad from what I remember of it, this had it all action, shooting and a lot of smashing windows overall a great movie
“Where are they getting these assault rifles?” The movie is set in America so any pawn shop or gunshop
Haha I was so little when I saw this movie haha 😂 keep up the good work 👍
Cheers! 🍺 Loved this film.
At the petrol station Emil realised that the robot was the cop he and his gang shot to hell earlier was because Robocop said “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me!” - the exact same line that Emil heard that earlier cop say to him when he tried to arrest him previously.
Ahh right, pretty good pick up from him to recognise that! I guess his voice is uniquely deep too.
such an action classic!
T2 may be the best movie ever made? But THIS is easily my favorite.
Traumatized by its brutality as a kid, instead of shying away? I fricken worshipped it and studied every gory detail. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 We had children toys that were inspired by rated R movies
😂😂 sounded like a treat! My parents would have never allowed me to watch this when I was young 😆
@@thecocoacouch Had they even known material. mine wouldn't have allowed it either... I snuck it. Other kids with "cooler parents" and ABC Sunday night movies (edited for TV of course)
He was probably wearing a bullet proof vest. That probably helped.
8:27 Back up was never gonna arrive. This is corporately designed by OCP to promote candidates for the Robocop program as mentioned by Bob Morton to the CEO (The Old Man)
- Is this film graphic?
- Yes.
- How graphic? Like the Marvel movies?
- A little more.
- Like Game of Thrones?
- A little more.
- How much more?
- Kind of like "D-Day".
I had no idea 😂😂
(0:32) Oh yeah, it definitely earns it's R rating.🤣
As a kid I watched every RoboCop movie, even the TV series that wasn’t very good but I still liked it.
RoboCop 2 has one of my childhood crushes he was a few years older than me, if you see the movie and you see that smile you will know exactly who I’m talking about.😂
Just think this film was made in the 80s America has way more guns now and it’s way easier for any idiot to get them, we had an idiot with an AR 15 strapped to his back and a revolver on his hip standing in line to order food. I know what you’re thinking “call the police”, you can’t call the police until they point it at someone or start shooting because it’s an open carry state.
It happens so much, you can find videos of stuff like that all across the US.
Yeah I don’t know how I feel about all that hey. On one hand, it seems crazy to me everyone can just carry guns, but on another hand, potentially people who could endanger yourself and your family carry guns so you need something to defend yourself. A bit of a already opened Pandora’s box kinda a deal.
There isn't a universe out there where Paul Verhoeven knows what "marvel movie sorta graphic" means...
I find it funny ED-209 gets demoted to parking enforcement and he still failed.
😆😆😆
The actual Mayor of Detroit was present for the filming of the gas station scene. He was thrilled that there was a major movie filming in Detroit. Until the blew up the gas station, and he was like "What are you doing to my city?!?!" Supposedly Paul McCrane's melting man performance came directly out of him seeing himself in the makeup. He took great delight in terrorizing the cast and crew; staggering up to them and hanging on them, gasping and wailing. The director's cut today is the original "kiss of death" rated X (for violence) cut of 1987. The some of the more graphic scenes were trimmed to make it an R release.
That’s hilarious! Poor mayor 😆 it’s kinda funny the graphics now so I’d be thrilled to see 2x the amount of explosive blood 😂
Great villains in this movie
1987 was a good year for movies. If you want graphic check out Full Metal Jacket 🧥
Ooo yeah I’ve been wanting to see that
6:00
"Oh my God, they killed Kinney!"
😆😆
Same director made another cult classic Starship Troopers you need to see that one. I am promising you will have blast. Is also violent but very intelligent movie. If you spot some details in it.
“He just shot his pp!” 😂😂😂
😆😆😆🤌
You: I heard it's graphic, but I don't know how graphic.
Me: (knowing that even by 80's action movie standards, this was considered too graphic) 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
5:59 - Up till now, I am baffled as to why Dick Jones had his creation leaded with LIVE rounds for a demo. That thing would have potentially killed other board members under different circumstances. It also shows that Dick didn't do a test run on the thing before he presented it. At least his boss the Old Man despite being a corrupt CEO know the robot was a failure and they can't advertise the thing as it is.
11:10 - Have you never wondered how quick they were obtaining a fresh specimen so quickly? Its as if they were expecting a high possibility that a cop will end up dead or something... deliberately.
21:41 - It bears pointing out that Dick's boss the Old Man doesn't about him running criminals on his own. The Old Man for all his faults wants to do things legal and being associated with criminal activities is bad PR.
24:54 - Now this is why public services like law enforcement should never, ever be privatized by private citizens or corporations. They can pull a "rules for thee, but not me" card every time they are on the law's crosshair. Its a good thing that Murphy's original personality resurfaced in a timely manner otherwise Directive 4 would have completely shut him down.
32:28 - I think Murphy was faking his scream and making a big show of being in great pain. He stopped doing those too quickly and acted relatively normal afterwards. He likely was baiting Clarence to move in his reach.
33:13 - A bit of brilliance on Murphy's part here. First he was reassuring the board members that he can't do anything against them which prevented them at panicking long enough to present his evidence against Dick. Then he gave a big hint that revoking Dick's status ie firing him on the spot will not cause Directive 4 to activate. The Old Man got the hint and did just that.
Do part two next for more action and carnage!
All of these are good points 😂 in particular how that machine managed to kill someone in a demonstration baffles me. I’ll eventually watch the others for sure. Super fun film.
This is a far superior movie to Iron Man and one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time.
I can’t comment, I’m blinded by nostalgia 😂 Robocop was awesome though!
What are those guns shooting that has such an explosive 💥 charge coming from such a narrow barrel?
Cobra Assault Cannon?......state of the art bang bang!!!!
😂😂
I was baffled 😂
I heard that the guy who played Clarence ended up marrying the woman who played the secretary. They met on the set of this movie.
Oh that’s so cool! Love little stories like that.
Pa lease do Robo 2 , lots of fun lots of action . New Cyborg vs Robo .
Huge fan of this franchise 😊
Heard they’re really good!
This movie is great the 2nd was good also.
Funny you mention RoboCop flying…..RoboCop 3 😉
Also ironic they set it in Detroit, as unfortunately since the decline of the car industry, Detroit has quite a high crime rate in comparison with other US cities.
Yeah was this made before all the restrictions? I imagine if so they made this film thinking Detroit was gonna be super far ahead of most other cities?
Because he’s wearing a body armor.
😆😆
After the last 3 years, if the guy that flew off the motorcycle had died, the reason would have been "c19" lol
😂😂😂 yeah he died while he was sick so it was obvious the c19
They use or used to use a substance termed Sugar Glass for breaking/smashing window effects in Hollywood. As the name suggest one of its ingredients was actually sugar or some form sucrose. It's safer to use than breaking real glass. If you re-watch each breaking glass scene you'll notice how the sugar glass breaks into small pieces as opposed to larger shaper dangerous shards that possibly injure the actor or stuntmen. Nowadays I think they use some sort of resin that behaves the same way as the sugar glass when broken but still safer to use than real glass.
Good catch on the final scene as Dick Jones falls to his death with elongated arms. Uncertain if the VFX team at the time didn't have the skill set to properly do the effect or didn't have the time before the movie's release date. Finally, the character of Bob Morton ( portrayed by the late Miguel Ferrer) is/was the real-life cousin of George Clooney.
I mean him falling was one of my favourite parts because of the cgi so glad they went with that 😂 hoping one day I can act in a scene where glass is broken 😆
That first guy got shot to pieces
3 years after The Terminator
The white guy on the tv set with the big hair and talking stupid that’s Eddie Van Halen the guitarist for Van Halen the 80’s/90’s! Oh one more thing the reason that guy looked like that is because he ran into that vat of toxic waste and why he turned into liquid when the other bad guy hit him with the car 🚗!!!
The space stations and such were reflecting concerns of the day. The real concerns were things like spy satellites and space based nuclear weapons which could strike with almost no warning or conduct EMP attacks with none. The lasers were more fanciful.
Those were probably a reference to Reagan's anti ballistic missiles systems, or I should say proposed systems. These were maligned as being a "Star Wars" program. These programs were proposals for space based lasers to shoot down ICBMs when they were in flight or kinect kill machines (brilliant pebbles was one name) to do the same. However, they did not exist beyond a few well staged clips of "test" footage. Nor would any of them have had much effect on ground targets.
What they did do was shock the Soviets, and much of Western media and Hollywood, who thought it was real, or at least could be. It is thought that the Soviets spent a lot of money to counter these non-existent devices and was an additional factor pushing them over the edge to collapse.
That said, some in the West were very concerned that the Soviets had space based weapons, which were illegal under several treaties. Several movies made reference to such things including "2010" and "Maximum Overdrive".
Wow. Crazy how much this movie actually referenced all that! Thanks for the history lesson though, didn’t know anything about that. Makes me appreciate the movie more ☺️
I LOVE this Robocop movie and part of me wants to do a Robocop cosplay, down to the opening thigh panels and the sliding gun holsters.
I haven’t done cosplay but I definitely wouldn’t refuse if it was right place right time. You definitely should Halloween or something 😂
@@thecocoacouch I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a long time.
How's he still alive, because he has two types of armour, body and plot
😆😆
He was wearing body armor so it took most of the gunfire
I see 😂😂
A couple other great movies made at this time b4 computer special effects is CHRISTINE and THE WRAITH. Cult classics
Oh okay! I’ll look into them
I saw this when it was new and remembered liking it. Now seeing reactions I am surprised by the graphic violence, I really did not remember it as being like that. I remembered the plot and the characters. I continue to like this movie and consider it a classic in the genre of SiFi movie.
You may have seen the theater edit... The directors cut got sta.ped with an X rating because of the graphic violence and gore.
If you enjoyed this, check out starship troopers.
Yeah I heard about that film! I’ll write it down ☺️
Have you done The Running Man? It has your favorite: Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead.
Semi future…like not so distant future
Hey, are you an Aussie ,I think I can recognize that accent everywhere?
I am an Aussie too ,now living in Europe.

Great 80's sci-fi classic !
Yeah man definitely Aussie 😂 awesome movie though, so hilarious!
@@thecocoacouch Where from in Australia ?
Sydney. From the Central Coast.
Sweet ❤
One of the older movies i have actually seen, the robocop series is quite good. Though I still like The Terminator series abit more.
I think Terminator is just on another level yah know 😂 I love those movies too
It was supposed to be in the near future
Makes sense 😂
Loved your response to the movie - great that you liked it. I wonder if you'd like to do Aliens next!
I did a video of one of the scenes from Robocop (his reveal scene) on my channel if you want to check it out.
27:18 Well, being a creep DID work. That was the actor's real-life wife he was hitting on.
Haha I heard!!!!
If you like Robocop, you should check out some more movies by Paul Verhoven! Total Recall, Starship Troopers, Flesh & Blood
I’m really intrigued with total recall already but I hadn’t heard of the others! I’ll add them to the list thanks 😊
@@thecocoacouch The original Total Recall, the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger, not the lousy remake!
Robocop 2 is good too even if it's not directed by Verhoven
@@alexgatti75 Yeah I'd love to see Arnold in that!
You definitely wouldn't want to go into any abandoned factory in Detroit. 🤔
Yeah now that you mention it 😬😬
So cute
Nice as always :)
Would you be interested to react to the matrix trilogy ? ^^
Maybe eventually. They’re a bit of a trek to get through and I’ve seen them recently. I’d love to eventually though.
Drink Root Beer.
Will do 😂
the i buy that for a dollar thing, is showing how programmed everyone is to think something unfunny is funny
Yeah makes sense. I was like why would they keep referring to this joke?

I buy that for a dollar ! Can you tell us where you bought that wonderful keg ? I mean it is a keg by now..... nice one !!! Where you bought it ?
I’ll Love to see you react to “Spider-Man: into the spider verse” if you haven’t already seen it. Also, HOW DARE YOU REPLACE THE COCOA.😡😡

Robocop vs John Wick = RIP John Wick. The only part of Robocop that is human is his Brain. They ripped his face off and placed it on top of the Robocop face.
Okay but what if we got a robocop John Wick? 😂🫣
@@thecocoacouch Now you are moving the goalpost. Ofc then it would be more of a challenge. The only advantage John has is his speed. Because Robocop is slow.
@@bas7467 yeah Robocop seemed almost invincible and not sure John has that many bullets
@@thecocoacouch If John had time to prepare then maybe. But if they just meet all of a sudden. Murphy wins every time. And Robocop has had a lot of upgrades you arent aware of. In the highly hated PG13 Robocop 3 he can fly.
@@bas7467 I see 😬so he does become a child friendly iron man haha
I don't know if I can watch you anymore. The egregious prevarication of naming your channel after cocoa and then showing up with a mug of joe. I'm deeply hurt and disillusioned; I may have to go and shave myself with no shaving cream. Augh!!!
Over the top? You need to see other movies by the same director, Starship Troopers which is great and Arnold Schwarzenegger is amazing in Total Recall... RoboCop 2 and 3 are fun too
Yes I’ve been wanting to watch those! Would be so keen.
@@thecocoacouch I'm not going to stop you, I look forward to seeing your reactions in the coming weeks 😉 Total Recall (1990), Starship Troopers (1997) are both on TH-cam to buy/rent
"Where are people getting all these guns?"
You do know this is set in the US, don't you? Also, yes, Detroit is really that awful.
Haha it still amazes me to this day. I think I’d have to stay in the US for some time to really let it sink in 😂
@@thecocoacouch Automatic weapons, while technically legal, require a great deal of paperwork, background checks, storage requirements, and allowing the ATF to do random checks any time they desire. The whole thing is so burdensome and expensive that, practically speaking, few civilians own actual automatic weapons.
The restrictions owning a gun and when, where, and how it can be carried vary from state to state, and sometimes even city. Chicago or DC make it extremely difficult to own a gun, and practically impossible to carry it outside the house unless you are transporting to a shooting range. On the other end of things, the state where I live now (Arkansas) is an open carry state. I've gone into a grocery store and seen a guy with a pistol in a holster, plain and day, and no one batted an eye. If had done that in California, there would have been multiple nervous breakdowns, the police would have been called, and it would have been on the evening news.
Strangely, the places with the most restrictive gun laws are often those with the highest level of violent crime, and those committing violent crimes usually are already barred from legally owning a gun, and obtain their weapons on the black market. The rate of violent crime on the part of otherwise law abiding, legal gun owners is fairly comparable with France or Hungry.
