“Can you do that, Dad?” That line gets me crying every time. When I was a boy, it was mainly the music in this scene that got to me. Even then, the sadness of Murphy’s character was conveyed to one who didn’t understand the complexities of life. Fast forward to when I’m older, and that moment when he remembers his son made me realize that Murphy has TRULY lost everything. Robocop is a genuine masterpiece.
yes, associative memory is very powerful. it's way deep inside you. they tried to erase every piece of humanity in him, this is very profound and why this is a masterpiece
reminds me of that one time I passed by the old summer house that my grandad (widowed) bought when he retired. It was sold soon after his death and I had spent most of my childhood summers there. I didn't have the energy or guts to knock on the door and ask for a quick tour to relive old memories (it would have been ackward-random, the new owners might have been jerks for all I knew, and I didn't have anything on me to prove that my grandad lived there to begin with) but damn, the memories hit me hard that day anyway.
The story of a human being becoming the product of a corporation. Which is basically some sort of slavery or prostitution. Then struggling to reclaim his lost humanity...
@teh one same it's only sciene that tells us that were attracted to women. All the love and this and that is all extra. At the basic level it's just two animals screwing in the woods.
Thank you Basil Poledouris for this beautiful piece of music. You gave a heart to the movie with this incredible music. You will NEVER be forgotten. RIP
@@davidvanvranken1595 What's the address if I can inquire? I'd like to google maps it. It's interesting that it was filmed in Dallas, but was supposed to be Detroit.
One of the best films ever made, the sadness, the one liners, special effects, the gore, comedy, revenge, badass villains, script, cast, direction, shootouts, everything! 80s classic for sure whats still the dogs bollocks to this day, completely pisses all over the remake.
+Harry Callahan The remake is not so bad if you watch it as its own movie. I actually liked it and thought that it was done well. If you end up comparing it to the original and dislike it for everything that is different than in the first film, of course it'll be bad. You watch each film in its own right as a separate motion picture.
Harry Callahan oh yes siiiir..Most Definitely..in My Opinion...2 Was Real Good...But they Should Have went into More Depth About his Son An Wife..An More Bout Caine..Of Course that would have Made the Movie Long But Hey it probably would have been Worth it💪
Well, this and his son watching the superhero cop TV show, seeing the main hero twirling his gun and turning to his father asking "can you do that, dad?". Then you remember Murphy actually did learn to twirl the gun as well. Because he loved his son, because he was his personal hero and didn't want to disappoint him.
Love how Weller played this role from a theater point of view. As he sees his lost family throughout his empty house you can see the human and robotics side of RoboCop fighting each other. For me, this movie is perfect in every way.
Indeed. Even though we cannot see behind the helmet. Weller emotions from his mouth and his movements as his memories begin to flashback into his mind are truly heartbreaking. Peter Weller and Paul Verhoven was making Science-Fiction history when they did Robocop.
Emmanuel Williams Add to that seeing his wife and son only through his flashbacks with a beautiful and sad score "Home" by the great Basil Poldouris really hit me. R.I.P. Basil.
"World Class Husband" on a broken coffee mug, left alone on the table. My god this movie has so many awesome layers, it just kicks ass and never stops.
@EAT THIS YOU GRAVY SUCKING DOG First off, don't knock CGI as the reason. Knock that it's bad CGI. Two, IDGAF if it is CGI, the man was literally reduced to nothing but a hand, head, lungs and a heart. That would scare the shit out of anyone if they saw that even if they hate the movie.
@DireAxis Oh, yes. And the "can you do that, dad?" always makes me tear up. Yes Dad can, and it's the only thing he never fully forgot for even the first moment he became Robocop. And the "World Class Husband" mug that's broken. And the faces Peter Weller makes in the most emotional memories, like the wife yelling "I really got to tell you something!! >:( ....I love you :3".
bill bixby I will admit the one thing I did feel sorry for him about in the remake was when he was taken apart and asked to see himself. That scene wasn't bloody but horrifying in its own way despite being PG-13
Love how the quintessential perfect loving family is paralleled next to the sterility and mock charming warmth of the real estate salesman. So many different layers and subtle themes to this movie; I could watch it a thousand times and never get tired of it.
He feels like a ghost trapped in a metal shell. Family gone....One of the few movies scenes that I can shed a tear for. You can really feel his loss through acting(in a suit) and music. Just brilliant.
This always gets me crying because Murphy had a family and son he really loved and tried to be a hero for his son but ever since he was killed and turned to robocop his family think he's dead but Murphy soon remembers who he was and we all kinda feel bad for him that he lost everything he ever loved
Actually, Murphy just feels them but can't remember them...

@@darockk but everytime they push him a little further he loses some of his humanity. Compare the character just after he becomes Robocop and at the end of the movie. I think the big problem with the reboot was the PG-13.
But in the scene Robocop, he walks into his empty home and looks at every corner, the ghosts. I think its the most powerful scene in a movie. very haunting, and dreaming about that. wake up and have a cup of tea!
associative memory is very powerful. it's way deep inside you. they tried to erase every piece of humanity in him, this is very profound and why this is a masterpiece. this movie has alot of what the remake lacks. most importantly: heart
That is why he gets amazed when Anne Lewis tells him "Murphy, it's you.", that caused an emotional reaction, but he didn't understand it, as he doesn't have any memory of it. The dreams gave him flashbacks of his past life, that also gave him an emotional schock. But still he couldn't understand it all, it wasn't possible, he hadn't lived that life. Not until he went to the house and realized it was him all along.
exactly. I can smell a smell and it brings me back to a certain place when I was 5 or 9 in a spli second, then it disapears as soon as I don't feel the smell anymore.
Exactly! This is the only "Robocop" I can watch over and over. The sequels are not even worth a second look. I myself never even bothered to look at the remake.
Why did it look like a bunch of that stuff was half burned? Was Murphy's widow burning personal things like the Halloween photo in the fireplace b/c the memories were too painful to endure?
That's the problem!I'm not a gore hound,but the original Robocop had that visceral effect that made you care when Alex Murphy goes down,at the beginning. In the remake,It's so quick and clean,that It doesn't leave a lasting impression. One scene that I found brillant though was the ''Show me'' scene:The one where they took him appart slowly until there's nothing left but a frail sac of lungs with a throat and a head.That one,even with pg13 standard,was really well done.
The new movie could have been able to top this amazing scene, could have had a version of Alex Murphy who tugged at the heart strings even more. This Murphy was a machine who found out he was a man, the new version was a man trying to stop himself from becoming a machine. If they did something interesting with it, did something that showed the struggle Murphy had to hold onto his humanity when all that was left that was human was just a few lumps of flesh, the movie could have been powerful. There was even glimmers of it, the tragedy and everything like when Murphy was talking to his family while training. But the people who made it just didn't really do anything with it. Also no villain anywhere close to as cool as Boddicker.
This is the ONE CRUCIAL thing that the remake left out which to me made it fail. Murphy struggling to regain his memories and his humanity along with the fact that his wife and son believing that he is dead and have moved on made him highly tragic and the audience sympathized with him. This coupled with the fact that OCP basically orchestrated this from the start by transferring officers into higher crime areas in hopes one would be killed to use for the Robocop Program (EXACTLY what happened to Murphy when he went from Metro South to West unexplicably) and all of the other decisions they'd made to the police force showed how truly vile and sadistic they actually were.
This film and this scene (Among others) left a mark on me when i was younger, forever changed how I looked at films in general. I'm still learning as much as I can but I owe this film and those involved with helping me realize, some of the art behind the moving pictures.
@@jameszack7158 Yeah, and OCP screwed him up as well by owning his corpse and trying desperately to make him their own RoboPet, but came back to bite them including Clarence Boddicker in their Heroin Nuking Corporate-Money Grubbing asses.
1:37 the music is almost enough to make you cry. Those bastards took him away from his family. What makes it even more depressing is the scene right after this in the nightclub. Someone lost a husband and a father and leon nash is without a care in the world. It's a sad scene and a brilliant film
Watching this my entire life and I never realized that his footsteps become normal instead of the ominous DOOM DOOM DOOM footsteps once he's in his memories inside the house. Like his robotic self melts away and he's becoming more human. God damn this movie has something new every time I watch it!
The music with flashbacks and even robocop's body language just delivers the feeling of loss you can relate. He lost his family and can do nothing but exact revenge.
It's this single sequence that elevates Robocop above every other genre action movie and into the realm of the greatest movies ever made. One of the most deeply moving scenes in all of cinema, and so imaginatively filmed, acted, scored, written.
His journey towards rediscovering his humanity reaches both it's low point and high point here: he remembers he's human, but he also remembers what he lost. So sad, but part of being human is experiencing pain.
This is what the remake was missing. the main character walking through what used to be his house having flashbacks of what used to be his life, slowly waking up to the realization of what he has lost. instead we just keep him looking down at his own corpse.
It isn't a stretch IMO, to call the 'Home' scene one of the most significant achievements in modern cinema. This is a film has more heart in this one scene, than many films do in their entirety. The drop at 1:37 is just timeless. All the people involved should be immensely proud of themselves.
"Can you do that, dad? :D". It makes Robocop doing that legendary twirl all the more sad and tragic, he's still trying to just be a great father and to impress his son as a machine.
It suck that at the end Murphy never had a happy ending. He saw his wife again and pretended he was just a hollow husk of her husband. He continued being robocop at the end.
Robocop 1 was a very serious film, (in my opinion) because it tells a theme of having human emotions, even if you were turned into a machine. The way Murphy still contains some of his memories of being a father and having a personal life of his own gives it the best example of how he's still the Murphy he was back then before he was killed. But that's just me.
This just reminds audience that it is meant to be a very sad movie. There was no happy ending, even at the end for Murphy. He was forced to be a robot.
I saw this movie for the first time when I was about 8 years old. I couldn't understand this scene, why sometimes he sees his family, sometimes he doesn't. Now this is probably one of the saddest scenes in the whole movie.
I honestly think that Robocop did a great job touching upon a lot of the cyberpunk themes that were also in Blade Runner. The loss of humanity in the face of advanced technology.
I'll admit that I got a little teary-eyed when seeing this again. After looking at the "Everything wrong with..." vid for this, I do have to concur though, the family DOES look a little too happy.
I still remember both locations and I don't think they were very far from each other. At the condo location, I remember that they set up catering in the parking lot up the street. Maybe a school parking lot? When I was on location at the house, I remember furniture and other stuff all over the front yard and film trucks lining the streets. After shooting the house scene, they let me keep one of the photos from the kitchen(pre-char) and I still have it :)
Paul Verhoeven's genius is that Robocop wasn't just flippant humor and over-the-top violence--it had a real emotional core to the character and character arc that made you connect to a robotic hero.
It's all summed up by the punch in the end through the screen. The wave of emotion, nostalgia, regret, longing. Culminates in the anger and realisation... "Okay now... Enough..." As he drives his fist through the screen. This film will always be touted as a favourite and had a profound emotional effect on me in my youth.
First time I saw this movie, I was young, so I only saw Murphy's emotions in this scene. Now that I'm older, I've come to realize that this scene tells two stories. One is about Murphy trying to piece together his memories. The other is about the raw grief of his family, as told by the state of the house. They left in a hurry. Smashed or burnt precious mementos instead of taking them. Didn't bother to take all the furniture, even. It makes you wonder what happened. Why does there seem to be an edge of rage to it? I really wish the sequels explored this more.
A true classic. The real genius was to tell a story so dehumanizing with the sci-fi lens, as if telling about a creature half man, half robot, who can shoot damn good and is super strong was the point. The loneliness of the character in this scene is painful.
RIP to all law enforcement who sacrificed there own lives, left kids wives and there brand new homes in including my brother Who died in the line of duty and who loved this scene and movie, just yesterday we were kid brothers watching it in the 80s. RIP Hero my brother aka "Murph"
I'm 33 and I stop to watch modern movies from 2014 year. Too high plank given from these films and their creators - Robocop, T2, American Beauty (mostly 90s) etc. Iam literally vomiting when I force myself to watch some "trend" movie because it feels plastic and soulless
this scene always makes me as much shiver ... the impression of seeing my childhood again or as if I returned to places that I have already lived ... damn movie does prevent the 80s 90 the best!
This movie must become as a evergreen block buster movie of all time.But i dont know why it doesn't receive that much positive reviews from the people and from the critics.A big revolutionary movie that machine also gets human feelings about his family.A big hats off to this movie
It would be one thing if the house was bare-bones and abandoned. It's another story when you see signs of life still there - from the broken mug to the burnt photo. Shows that his wife and son probably did NOT take Murphy's death to well.
- "Can you do it dad?" I can control myself, this is just a movie. I'm not a child anymore. - "I really have to tell you something ..." Cry like a b*tch.

This scene is so fast and simple. But you feel what Robocop feels. Very Great.
I feel like the music is really crucial in conveying what Robo is experiencing!

It isn't a stretch IMO, to call the 'Home' scene one of the most significant achievements in modern cinema. This is a film has more heart in this one scene, than many films do in their entirety. The drop at 1:37 is just timeless. All the people involved should be immensely proud of themselves.
1:35 - 2:08 such a beautiful highlight of the song
25Robbo25 it's not a song, it's a music
I have felt that for the longest time
great and emotional escene!
"Can you do that, dad? :D". It makes Robocop doing that legendary twirl all the more sad and tragic, he's still trying to just be a great father and to impress his son as a machine.
Damn, i love this movie so much.
What a powerful movie....👍👍🥰🥰
It breaks my heart.
This movie was so beautifully made...
Yes it is an art
It suck that at the end Murphy never had a happy ending. He saw his wife again and pretended he was just a hollow husk of her husband. He continued being robocop at the end.
In RoboCop: Prime Directives, James Murphy finds out the truth and they reunite.
Robocop 1 was a very serious film, (in my opinion) because it tells a theme of having human emotions, even if you were turned into a machine. The way Murphy still contains some of his memories of being a father and having a personal life of his own gives it the best example of how he's still the Murphy he was back then before he was killed. But that's just me.
I get chills when the music kicks in as he starts pacing down the hallway to smash the t.v
This is probably the most tragic scene in entire film. If you were not moved by it, then you have no heart.
Seriously beautiful this. Amazing music and acting from Peter Weller. The pain and mental torture of Robocop are conveyed brilliantly.
1:36 beautiful
2:52
has anyone else seen a robot that pissed off before?
All the time when watching Bender on Futarama
This just reminds audience that it is meant to be a very sad movie. There was no happy ending, even at the end for Murphy. He was forced to be a robot.
I saw this movie for the first time when I was about 8 years old. I couldn't understand this scene, why sometimes he sees his family, sometimes he doesn't. Now this is probably one of the saddest scenes in the whole movie.
this scene is very sad.... T___T I love robocop saga *__*
me recuerda que la veiamos con mi mamita que ya no esta en este mundo buen recuerdo y esta fue tu favorita!!!!!! grande robocop lo mejor
I honestly think that Robocop did a great job touching upon a lot of the cyberpunk themes that were also in Blade Runner. The loss of humanity in the face of advanced technology.
This scene makes me very sad for what they have done to Alex Murphy. I fucking love this movie.
robot walking into a dance club. terminator?
I'll admit that I got a little teary-eyed when seeing this again. After looking at the "Everything wrong with..." vid for this, I do have to concur though, the family DOES look a little too happy.
VicenzoV A very simple but good idea actually...I'll probably be doing the same from now on too! lol
The music absolutely does it for this scene, also like they didn’t directly show Murphy in the flashback’s
There will never be another like this. EPIC CLASSIC MASTERPIECE of a movie.
That was my house in Dallas
Baron Will the interior was a different house in the same little plot (these were condos) at the end of the drive. My house was used for the exterior
@@davidvanvranken1595 Did people you know ever recognize it? Did you ever see any curious individuals looking around to see it?
Church st?
I still remember both locations and I don't think they were very far from each other. At the condo location, I remember that they set up catering in the parking lot up the street. Maybe a school parking lot?
When I was on location at the house, I remember furniture and other stuff all over the front yard and film trucks lining the streets.
After shooting the house scene, they let me keep one of the photos from the kitchen(pre-char) and I still have it :)
sharkheadism nah. Realtor pointed it out to us
2:50 me on the way to tell the McDonalds employee they got my order wrong
peter weller el mejor y unico robocop , no hay mas las demas son copias
Paul Verhoeven's genius is that Robocop wasn't just flippant humor and over-the-top violence--it had a real emotional core to the character and character arc that made you connect to a robotic hero.
It's all summed up by the punch in the end through the screen. The wave of emotion, nostalgia, regret, longing. Culminates in the anger and realisation... "Okay now... Enough..." As he drives his fist through the screen. This film will always be touted as a favourite and had a profound emotional effect on me in my youth.
First time I saw this movie, I was young, so I only saw Murphy's emotions in this scene. Now that I'm older, I've come to realize that this scene tells two stories. One is about Murphy trying to piece together his memories. The other is about the raw grief of his family, as told by the state of the house. They left in a hurry. Smashed or burnt precious mementos instead of taking them. Didn't bother to take all the furniture, even. It makes you wonder what happened. Why does there seem to be an edge of rage to it? I really wish the sequels explored this more.
1:35 gets me everytime
It's rare for movies to be able to provide so much exposition with so little actual dialogue. Robocop is such a good movie.
So many powerful emotions communicated to the audience in only 3 minutes... brilliant
I remember some dude behind me screaming "OH, God" when the wife came out to make love to Murphy when he remembered that. That hit everyone hard.
A true classic. The real genius was to tell a story so dehumanizing with the sci-fi lens, as if telling about a creature half man, half robot, who can shoot damn good and is super strong was the point. The loneliness of the character in this scene is painful.
RIP to all law enforcement who sacrificed there own lives, left kids wives and there brand new homes in including my brother Who died in the line of duty and who loved this scene and movie, just yesterday we were kid brothers watching it in the 80s. RIP Hero my brother aka "Murph"
Just an incredible film and what a scene. Makes me so sad watching this.
Some soundtracks and scenes just stick with you don’t they..
Sad part misses his family..
I'm 33 and I stop to watch modern movies from 2014 year. Too high plank given from these films and their creators - Robocop, T2, American Beauty (mostly 90s) etc.
Iam literally vomiting when I force myself to watch some "trend" movie because it feels plastic and soulless
this scene always makes me as much shiver ... the impression of seeing my childhood again or as if I returned to places that I have already lived ...
damn movie does prevent the 80s 90 the best!
"Hey! How about you make me an offer!"
I guess the SUX 6,000 got the best of us.
This movie must become as a evergreen block buster movie of all time.But i dont know why it doesn't receive that much positive reviews from the people and from the critics.A big revolutionary movie that machine also gets human feelings about his family.A big hats off to this
movie
It would be one thing if the house was bare-bones and abandoned. It's another story when you see signs of life still there - from the broken mug to the burnt photo. Shows that his wife and son probably did NOT take Murphy's death to well.
This scene is the emotional anchor in an otherwise cynical movie. The ending would not have had nearly the same impact without it.
THIS SCENE MAKES ME CRY WHE I WAS A KID :(
- "Can you do it dad?"
I can control myself, this is just a movie. I'm not a child anymore.
- "I really have to tell you something ..."
Cry like a b*tch.
