I interviewed Peter Weller in college. Here's a couple of background notes. It initially took them 8 hours to get him into the costume but they eventually got it down to 90 minutes. Also, the film originally got an X rating for the violence, but the director cut 2 frames from one scene and they got the R rating.
He sells it well too. I guess all that movement training paid off because you believe he's a robot.
I want the x-rated cut especially if the x is for gore.
The version they watched is the X-rated version.
@@okeefe757this was the X-rated version.
The machine gun Ed 209 part was actually shortened to give them an r instead of x
I'm ecstatic that younger people are getting into Robocop because it's fucking epic. And one of the greatest films of the 80s.
A lot of the issues the movie tackles are still relevant because they were never fixed. No wonder it still strikes a cord with people.
One of the best social satires ever made. It should also be noted that there is zero CGI, it's all practical effects and stop motion. Murphy's head is brilliant practical application work. So good.
This movie works on three levels: as a revenge action flick, as a meditation on what it means to be human, but also a biting social satire. The movie takes the "business-knows-best" and "government should be run more like a business" argument and shows what that would literally be like.
That is actually not true.. well sort of.. but the CGI is not what you would think about.
The screen where he is using the computer. The computer screen was considered CGI ar that time.
Peter Weller's choreography for the Robocop part is perfect.
@charlize1253 Not sure if this just bookends with the social commentary point or is a separate entity but I really loved the style of the (very) dark over the top humor that made disturbing situations somewhat comical but not in a cheesy yuck yuck way modern movies so often try and fail at.
No, don't watch the sequels. Other Paul Verhoeven movies, yes.
Two is okay, but best to watch it as fanfic.
Two is okay, three is for cultural reference.
2 isn't terrible but definitely a step down
Two was okay but I would not go down that rabbit hole! Starship Troopers and Total Recall definitely!
Robocop's gun is pretty iconic. It's called Auto-9 in the movie- it's actually a modified Beretta 93R, capable of 3 round burst fire 👍
According to Robocop 2 his gun has a 50 round clip of caseless ammo.
I need that gun, lol
Clarence Boddicker is one of the best villains ever, he's just so delightfully evil.
The pulling of the grenade pin with his tongue was an ad-lib.
he went on to later torture his teenage son and his friends by calling them "dumb-asses".
Cold blooded
An intellectual dirtbag. Fantastic character.
He’s only about mid-level evil. He doesn’t even touch Bob’s dates and they’re witnesses to a murder.
But he’s sleazy as fuck.
I can’t believe you cut out “bitches leave,” the greatest one-liner in cinematic history.
Completely agreed.
I can't believe you don't think "I'd buy that for a dollar!" is the best line from the movie. I didn't notice it in this video either.
@@w1975b I mean, it’s a good line but come on
"I'd buy that for a dollar!!!"
Also, this might be the best set of movie villains ever. Dick, Bob, Clarence and his entire crew. Love it.
The best thing is, this masterpiece probably only costs $1 to view these days, so anyone can afford to watch this movie.
So true. Movies today struggle to write one good villain and this one has three.
Bob Morton wasn't really a villain in my eyes, he was more of a gray character tbh. On the one hand, his creation was a huge net positive for Detroit, but the means as to which he created RoboCop were absolutely despicable. Really well written part
@@skyraider87Agreed. He wasn't a villain, but was a very egotistical opportunistic corporate climber in desperate desire for advancement with questionable morals at least.
Robocop II is probably worth your time. Don't bother with the rest of them.
Agreed. 2 was very good, not as good as 1 but extremely watchable. 3 was not on the same level..
Emil’s death by toxic waste / hit by car is one of cinema’s most memorable. Guess you’ll need to do “Total Recall,” (the ‘80’s masterpiece, not the awful remake) and “Starship Troopers.” Another fun flick starring Peter Weller is “The Adventures of Buckeroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension.” Another fun flick with Nancy Allen is “1941.” Other suggestions: “The Last Boyscout,” “Demolition Man,” “The Running Man,” and “Commando.”
"Another fun flick with Nancy Allen is “1941.”"...Wow. Never heard Steven Spielberg's only satirical comedy described like that before. Probably because it also starred Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, John Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Lee, Toshiro Mifune, Slim Pickens and Robert Stack!
Emil related, the actor who played him (Paul McCrane) appeared in another great and gory film, The Blob (1988).
I think Total Recall (1990) and Starship Troopers are both directed by the Robocop director, Paul Verhoven. I know the special effects legend, Rob Bottin, who also designed Robocop's suit, also worked on Total Recall.
@@bfdidc6604 that damn film is the scariest of all horror - swear down.
@@bfdidc6604 I remember he was also in an episode of The X Files and his character could regenerate body parts...even his head after he was in a vehicular accident.
it's stated that the Ed- 209 was intended to be sold to the military, the police application was just supposed to be proof of conccept
RoboCop is awesome! Weird to think what would have happened if the dad from That 70s Show turned to crime. 😂 Also, ‘Bitches leave!’ is perhaps one of the greatest lines ever in movie history.
Don't piss off Red Forman!
Not only the perfect line, but the perfect delivery.
It's wild when you see an actor who played a nice character play an evil one. I liked that guy who played Captain Stottlemeyer on _Monk._ He also played Buffalo Bill in _The Silence of the Lambs._
I was a kid when RoboCop came out. And Kurtwood Smith is such a fantastic actor, Clarence Boddicker scared me more than any horror film villain. He was just terrifying. No matter what i see him in, it's hard for me not to remember my terror of him as Clarence. That's what i always think of him as.
@@trekkiejunk I'm the same way with Dennis Hopper's character from _Blue Velvet._ Terrifying.
Predator vs Alien. Freddy vs Jason. Robocop vs Terminator. Dad from That 70s Show vs Dad from Malcolm in the Middle.
There was something about the 80s, not sure what it was but we had the best movies that decade and with the greatest soundtracks. Thanks to you two young men today I learned a new word at my old age of 65.verisimilitude And I agree it is crucial for a film to be consistent with the world ii creates. When I watch a film I am like the great director Martin Scorsese, I am those people , absorbed into the film, and when they stop being consistent the whole thing goes off the rails for me. great and fun to watch reaction as always guys...
I could talk your ear off about the topic, as to why i think the 80's had the best (and worst) films. A good argument can be made that the 70's, 90's and 00's had the best films, all for different reasons. The 70's were the most freeing and creative due to the end of the Hayes Code. The 90's were great because the whole over-the-top flag waving of the 80's was over. The 00's were great because we became more enlightened and inclusive, while still not bound too much by a moral imperative. There's so much to say about most eras of movies. --- Just remember there's great and terrible movies from every generation. Usually people wax nostalgia because they only remember the good things from the era they are waxing nostalgic about.
@@trekkiejunkagreed compared to the awful 2014 remake 😊
great reply, sorry I missed it at the time.........and the 80s had it share of flops for sure!!
One easily missed aspect of this movie and one you wouldn't really expect, is that the triage scene with Murphy at the beginning, is one of the best and most accurate medical scenes on film! They actually hired a real life, life flight crew and an entire ER/OR team, the director just gave them the setup for the scene and told them to just do what they would normally do in that situation and recorded it.
I agree that they adlib'd the dialogue was made up the real team, but something has always thrown me off. The doc makes a comment "Alright, let's go ahead and shock a flatline and lets call it". Working in medicine, we've never shocked a flatline (Asystole). But it does make for good dialogue and I rolled with it!
Wow that’s a brilliant idea from the director! there’s many medical scenes in media that are inaccurate
@@docbooboo1 asystole requires CPR + epinephrine or something similar if I'm not mistaken
@@dextermcgrubbin I remember seeing them give a shot/needle of something in the chest during that scene.
@@w1975b I missed that LOL
you gotta get your hands on the film Demolition Man, old film with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, it feels very much in line with RoboCop! It has so many good lines!
I second this! It's one of my few favorites among action movies and I'm more of a sci-fi, fantasy and comedy guy.
Used to watch this all the time when we were kids. KIDS! Had Robocop toys and there was an animated series! I lived through it and it still seems crazy!
I still don't understand how the studio made all of that possible.
They obviously don’t realize that this is a satire. And that it’s BRILLIANT!
It’s ultimately a movie about someone having their humanity stolen by a corporation, and his quest to regain it.
This movie works on three levels: as a revenge action flick, as a meditation on what it means to be human, but also a biting social satire. The movie takes the "business-knows-best" and "government should be run more like a business" argument and shows what that would literally be like.
when the toxic waste guy gets hit by the car, me and my brother couldn't stop laughing.. you can tell the special effects guys had a lot of fun making this movie. i wonder if the director was like "i need it to be as gory as possible" and they were like "challenge accepted"
The actor knew from the script & director he was meeting the toxic waste guy at the corner. What the director had not done was make him aware of the costume & make-up the toxic waste guy was wearing when they met. The look of shock & horror is real.
Well, the director is Paul Verhoeven, so of course. 😄
When the same actor got taken out via helicopter 🚁 in the medical drama ‘er’ though 😂😂😭😂
I like how the lack of compassion from his villain buddy comes out when he soon after turns on the wipers! 🤣😂
And it’s just not a reaction video of Cam doesn’t gag 😂
I absolutely LOVED this movie as a child...I just didn't realize at the time how absolutely f****'d up of a movie this was for a kid to be watching, seriously. "I'll buy that for a dollar!" If you thought Red Forman was grumpy in That 70's show...you don't even know.
💙 From Detroit
16:20 - funny you should mention that. The "Auto 9" in the film is indeed built from the Beretta 93R select-fire pistol.
The score is also extremely good. Basil Poledouris was a master at his craft.
43 year old. Been one of my favourites since I (secretly) watched it when I wasn't even 10 years old 😅 Anyway, always good to see younger people watch this for the first time and enjoying it 😎👍💯
This is one of my favorite movies. I was born in '81, so I've seen visual effects go from silly to amazing (to silly again in my opinion with a lot of CGI). One of the things I find impressive about this film is that, not unlike The Terminator, this is a concept that could have been a really stupid "B movie" in the hands of a lesser director with a cast that didn't take it seriously.
As far as the sequels go (no spoilers):
RoboCop 2 has some good stuff in it, commenting on sequels in a meta way, before meta was a thing. But it did lack the depth of the original, leaning more toward a "popcorn" flick. Give it a watch, but keep your expectations in check. 6.5 out of 10
RoboCop 3 is not good. It's probably the steepest decline in quality I can think of in a sequel. Give it a watch if you like, but only as a curiosity of how quickly it can go from zero to fucked. 2 or 3 out of 10.
RoboCop Remake... um... shit.
A remake can't be the same or what's the point? But it can't be too different, or why are you doing it at all. The bones of a decent remake exist and there are a few scenes that make it worth watching, but unfortunately it follows the path of what the original could have been if the studio interfered too much. It's not awful, certainly better than part 3, but save for a few hard-hitting scenes, it feels like an overly safe modern blockbuster. 6 out of 10.
"I LIKE IT!"
One of the great movies of the 80s. Thanks for reacting.
Cam's gag reflex makes Peter Jackson's Dead Alive (Brain Dead) a must watch for you both. It's a fun movie but so gory that it literally killed my appetite for three days. Think if it as a joint Reaction/Endurance Trial.
I'm pretty good with gore but after the brain eating scene I never looked at trifle the same way again.
RoboCop used a FUSB to access the police computer. 😂
Forensic Universal Serial Bus.
Admissable as evidence 😏
Hi Cam & Zay!🙂They had to build a freight elevator to get the ED-209 down to the ground floor.😄Yes, the Dick Jones building shot was not great. This film is part of the Paul Verhoeven unofficial trilogy of futuristic violent films. The other two films are "Total Recall" (1990) and "Starship Troopers" (1997). Verhoeven's style of film making is evident in the other two films, too.😉Robocop 2 is not bad, but the other Verhoeven films are better. Nice reactions to the original Robocop film, Guys!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Murphy gets one of the worst deaths in Hollywood History they fucking took him out like a mob boss
In the original script his death was far worse, they hunted him whilst blowing him to pieces at intervals
For goodness sake, never watch the remake.
Awesome reaction and always a pleasure to see you react to stuff us old farts went watching in the theater pretending to be older than we were to be able to sneak in. And kudos for you mentioning that Murphy is scared @20:55 . It's one of those many little moments that are so often overlooked (just like @23:09 when Murphy basically gives "the finger" to the IT cop in the server room telling himn what he is not allowed to do). In that moment where Lewis is confronting him with the fact, that he is Murphy, "Murphy" is still buried deep within what OCP constructed as the Robocop persona and the reailty of "Murphy" is at that point a threatening concept. Hence he actually takes a step back from Lewis, something he never really registered him doing in the whole movie. If you can, there are a few really good videos on the making-of and how Peter Weller created the iconic (and tbh perfectly fitting) movement of Robocop. Last point before I finish my geek-out about that movie andf something that was more obvious to a 1987 audience is, how out-of-character a lot of tha casting was. Nacy Allen at the time was known to be a beautiful nice girl character with long curly hair. Taking over the role as this badass, no-nonsense cop, the actress just cut her iconic hair of (something she had no issues with as she wanted the role but her agent was not so thrilled about). Equally so the casting of Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker, who really nailed it as this love-to-hate sleazeball.
That main theme is great.
Basil Poledouris really knew how to compose music. You should hear the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian (1982) if you haven't. Wouldn't hurt to watch the movie too, early Arnold Schwarzenegger flick.
This movie works on three levels: as a revenge action flick, as a meditation on what it means to be human, but also a biting social satire. The movie takes the "business-knows-best" and "government should be run more like a business" argument and shows what that would literally be like.
THIS right here! I 100% agree!
I approve this movie! :)
They actually started filming this movie in Dallas, TX. The scene where the gas station blows up was a practical effect, it was so big it blew out windows on buildings and got the production kicked out of the city, they finished filming in Pittsburgh, PA🤣
Due to "RoboCop's" explosions you mention, "Die Hard's" huge explosions & "Heat's" downtown LA gunfire. People got PISSED OFF. & Cities across America put a luck down on movie production inside city limits. The lockdown is also what helped fuel the push to CGI. Those days are over!
From what I understand, the real Detroit was briefly considered, but it didn’t have any shiny, futuristic aspect to it. While it had more than enough on the low end look of dystopia, it had practically nothing to offer on the high end look.
They must've done that at the end of filming then. I've lived in Dallas all my life. The OCP HQ, the plant where they had the final battle, and the street where they played with the big guns are all familiar places to me.
@TXKafir movies are often filmed out of sequence. The end gets filmed at the start, and the start gets filmed at the end. It's common.
@@TheValoriusValcorin I know but your post made sound like most of the movie exterior locations were shot elsewhere and it does not appear to be the case.
The main reason RoboCop doesn't kill Clarence Bodeker during the drug bust is because it would've been considered murder. He was unarmed and everyone he killed up till that point, had either a gun in their hand. The would be rapist had a knife so he maimed him, but didn't kill him. Emile was fleeing the scene, but wasn't an immediate threat, so he shot the motorcycle instead of him. The only time he spares an armed assailant is when the henchman pulls a gun on him in the club. He doesn't shoot him because he needs to interrogate him for Clarence's whereabouts.
I really can't wait to see if they do starship troopers now
I'm 77 and found you two to have an unexpected great sense of humor. I was forced to subscribe. I only have one movie for you that no one has reacted to and it's one that I watch once a year. It's a fantasy western unlike anything else. "Purgatory" (1999) with Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. You won't ever forget it.
Okay you two are of one of favorite channels so much fun watching the movies with you boys! Great job and thanks for the laughs ! 😂😂
38:11 Yeah, when he fell from that window with those spaghetti arms is still cringe after all of these years lol. You'd think they'd have touched that up a bit especially since it's one of the last shots of the film.
I’m not sure how much trouble it would have been to shorten the model’s arms, so that the wide angle lens wouldn’t warp them so much, but that probably would have been the solution. Stop motion isn’t an easy or quick thing to keep doing over. Though it is a really brief shot, so I guess it was just one of those “good enough, let’s just be finished here” things.
@@0okamino It didn't even have to be stop motion though. They could just put him falling with a green screen behind him. It was brief but easily noticeable.
Rob Bottin's work on creating Robocop is some of the best makeup work ever
RobertCop appreciates your compliance, Citizens Zam & Cay.
YESSSSSSS!!!! Cam & Zay are reacting to Robocop!!! I love it!!!
Do robocop II. A movie where a cyborg learns to love again.
the director also did Starship Troopers, Total Recall, and Showgirls all random
I don't think toxic waste should just be laying around for anyone to be dropped in it other than matt Murdoch it ain't ever done anything good for anyone I think the guy in this movie probly got it worse than joker and toxic avenger
The "baby food" is just raw applesauce. It turns brown if not treated with citric acid.
I was waiting for them to say "2 girls 1 cup" lol. Which I've never seen but heard about.
Imaging dieing and they still made you go to work
RoboCop 2 is such a good time, a bit cheesy and not quite as slick as this, but still a damn good time!
Then leave the whole thing alone with grace.
3 is a dumpster fire fueled by rank diapers from a nursing home and the remake of this 1st one makes said dumpster fire look like a jacuzzi filled with Dom Perignon and Supermodels in a 5* resort.
Nice reaction! One of my favorite 80s movies. On your points regarding Lewis, personally, I think the film used her just enough. I liked the little partnership chemistry they built in just their limited scenes prior to him becoming Robocop. Most movies would overplay it or try to push something more and glad this film didn't go there. Not necessarily romance but just sidetracking the film for the sake of unnecessary melodrama. Glad they didn't do that. The film's focus was solely on Murphy and him slowly regaining his humanity, so we follow him on his lone mission of revenge and rebirth.
I can go two ways about it. I don’t think it would have hurt the story to build a little more of a connection, but I think the first day tragedy also works well, and shows that Lewis is the kind of person who can gain some real care about who she’s partnered with right away.
@@0okaminoRight, one of the things I like about the Murphy-Lewis relationship in this movie is that the writing went with the "less is more" approach. They hit it off immediately and their chemistry didn't feel forced. The story kept bringing Lewis back at the perfect moments to keep her relevant and also to remind us that she felt a sense of obligation to help Murphy in any way that she could since she was his partner when he was brutally killed.
I wish i could upvote your comment more than once. I see it a thing with much younger generations when they watch films is that they want to know more. "Give me an epilogue." "Tell me more of X's backstory." I hear that second one a LOT. They just don't get that it's not important. The director was trying to tell you a particular story, and he showed you all he needed to.
I remember one reactor that got to the end of An American Werewolf in London, and said, "That's it?? That's how they are going to end it?? But what about XYZ??" And i found myself yelling at the screen.. Yeah! What else is there to tell?? The entire story is told! There is no mystery left. Everything laid out in the beginning was solved, and nothing was left untied. Yet the TH-camr wanted to know more details about things that were so unimportant to the story. It's a common thing with the young, and i don't know why.
@@0okamino -- I disagree completely. Her story is not important. It's Murphy's story. We don't need to know anything about Lewis, other than how she relates to Murphy, and they showed that.
@@trekkiejunk Oh, I don't mean much more. Just that a _little_ more wouldn't have hurt, but I'm fine with it as is.
It's nice when reactors see the deeper topics in a movie like this cause it's easy to gloss over the subtle commentary when you're distracted by the 80's gory action.
it's far from subtle, the commentary is very blatantly shoved in our faces, we just are distracted by all of the other extremes as well.
@@5ilver42 I'd say that's how you put your biases in a medium without being preachy like today's movies.
Heck Gundam in general is one big anti-war commentary from Tomino, but he uses it as a means to make an entertaining setting.
@srichael2713 Oh, come on, do there's no difference between this point. Showing at the gentle in your face and today's movies shoving up in your face. If this movie came out today, people claim that it's working like rolling gently because the bad guys are rich and white And you would come after Carole for being strong female cop 😂😂😂😂
@@drewwar9344 Well she is a strong female character... a legit one. She doesn't overshadow Murphy and they make a good team. I don't like how they killed her off in 2 though, but it's the actress decision.
Even the evil white CEOs sans Dick has a bit of character. The Old Man is pragmatic enough that he wants a working sample and doesn't brush away concerns of the machine's glitches as well as not approving Dick's methods.
Morton despite his own questionable and ambition did everything he could possible to create a working experiment that delivered relatively everything he promised.
And Bob's friend who is a black corrupt CEO. He and Bob were actual friends in that kind of environment and he was glad seeing Dick pay for what he did to Bob.
Like I said, the movie isn't preachy about the director's opinions, it is entertaining, and an actual good guy who isn't human anymore.
They kill her off in 3. But everyone ignores that one.
Really, nothing ever lived up to the first.
You have to remember that this hyper-violent R-rated movie was targeted at children in the 80's. Not only were toys from the movie made by Kenner, but also there was a spin-off Saturday Morning Cartoon. We children of the 80's were raised differently, for sure.
With our parents panicking over Rock and Roll or Dungeons and Dragons. A time where men were so fragile that an accusation of being gay could ruin a man or create a fight to the death.
But hey, we got to see cartoon Rambo GI Joe it up.
I'm sure that mattered to someone.
I would recommend an earlier movie of Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension, yes that's the complete title. Also has Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Clancy Brown, great cast.
You guys are going to love this.
This film is based on what was happening in the 80s: in factories, workers were watching big machines with mechanical arms being carried in and taking their jobs.
Don't bother with the Robocop sequels. This film is amazing because of director Paul Verhoeven and writer Ed Neumeier. What you want to watch is the other two movies in the Verhoeven sci-fi trilogy: Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers.
Robocop 2 is decent, it’s really missing a good score to help it go above that. But yeah the 3 movies you mentioned are top tier.
Watch also Robocop 2 it's very underrated it's not as good as the first one and more comedic but the robots fight is way better and the new director could still keep the atmosphere from the first movie which is really good.
Morgan Freeman: "As it would turn out... Bobby could not fly."
Yeah when you get punched by a Cyborg you're pretty much dead 😂😂
First reaction i've watched from you guys. Nice reaction. There are 2 more Robocop movies snd there was a TV seriea and a remake. People didnt like those as much as the first 2 Robocop films but curious to see your reaction to them! I got a kick how tony hawk looking guy was dry heaving over the acid guys death lol 😆 and how red baseball cap guy knew every gun in the movie😅 I take it he's a big gun guy, military or a COD fan I'd bet. 😁😎 Just a guess. I'm new so i dont know whos Cam and Zam.
Ok so to match their names, Zam is hat gun guy and Cam is the guy who looks like Tony Hawk a little. Cool names definitely unique 👌. Hope you guy's watch Child's Play and Terminator and the blob remake 1988 for other great 80s movies. 👍🏼
Imagine working in a coke factory and robocop breaks down the steal door and the first 20 seconds of bullets do notjing to him
This movie has so much testosterone in it! 😅
Great to see ya, guys!
Not surprising, but they totally missed the satire that exists in most of Paul Verhoeven's movies. The "bad ass action film" is the gloss to sell to the mass audience. The real story is in both the impending rise of the evil corporations (with the tip-off to that being the opening scene), as well as an exploration of what makes a person. But yeah, not surprised at all that these two would focus on the "cool action, bro! Whoooah!"
They probably don't know what satire is.
6:59 My older brother & I were watching this religiously in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 😂📼
Cam's "robot noises" sounded more like he was clearing his throat...lol "Hocking one up," as it were. Thanks for the reaction guys...
I saw this movie when I was kid when it first came out. It was the most violent movie I’d ever seen. I was never allowed to watch rated R movies. It kinda freaked me out lol. I think my older brothers took me.
Call a paramedic? Call a janitor, there's more work for a janitor than there is for a paramedic.
Watch the 2014 remake to see what a CGI Robocop looks like, but get ready for a total bore-fest, virtually nothing happens for about an hour!
Total Recall (1990) and Starship Troopers (1997) for more Paul Verhoeven dystopian satire. Troopers will be rough on Cam's gut, though, fair warning.
CGI? This was 1987. There was no CGI in RoboCop. Digital effects were in such infancy, CGI would have been completely useless. I presume they are referring to the stop-motion animation when referencing dodgy effects. To me, i think 90% of movies post 1995 that use any digital effects, use them too much. And that includes 2023, state-of-the-art effects. I think they are ALWAYS overused, and practical effects should be used whenever possible, and CGI only used where absolutely necessary. Even if it's indistinguishable from the real thing, there's nothing like watching the truck in Beverly Hills cop plow through cars on the street, and KNOWING it's a real truck tearing things up. With digital effects, i just can't help think about how i'm really watching a cartoon.
verisimilitude ---- ver·i·si·mil·i·tude ---the appearance of being true or real.
"the detail gives the novel some verisimilitude". Words have power, THIS is why English teachers always want us to expand our vocabulary. There is always a word that says what you want to say better.
One of the greatest action/sci-fi/satire movies of all time. I don't think that's hyperbole. Absolutely in my top 5. It was a joy to watch you enjoy this - glad you enjoyed it.
As far as sequels go - well, Robocop 2 is absolutely worth a watch. Can't hold a candle to the original, but it's quite funny and nasty in its own way. Robocop 3 is to be avoided at all costs. PG-13 rated. Completely incompatible with the concept. Diluted to the point of portraying him as a superhero type. Completely misses the point.
Then there is the TV series, which I'm sure everyone wants to forget about. Including those involved.
Also, no CGI here (apart from some of the computer screen layouts, but that doesn't count).
6:46 - You really have to wonder if this experimental was even tested in a the facility it came from. And why arm it with real bullets. It's a good thing it didn't run completely amok in the room.
7:31 - Simple and direct. The Old Man is a corrupt scum, but he's pragmatic enough to know he has to present a working product sample. Unlike Dick he doesn't dismiss drawbacks like that.
8:05 - The actor of Clarence Boddicker is the dad from "That 70s Show" and he guest starred in Voyager's 'Year of Hell.'
11:35 - Yup. Brutal as heck. I still squirm a bit at that even all these years.
14:35 - I've always wondered if they deliberately delayed any backup in situations like the one Murphy and Lewis ended up. They do need a guinea pig for their experiment after all.
16:04 - Nah, its probably nothing...
17:22 - You to give the Bob credit, he made sure to designed his pet creation as good as possible.
23:17 - Come to think of it, they didn't erase his memories hence his flashbacks. I don't think they have the tech for it.
25:30 - Thus we know now how a thug like Boddicker managed to be the top crime boss of Detroit. A sponsor who has control of the police.
28:14 - To be fair, Boddicker was already incapacitated and Robocop is doing cold-blooded murder at that point even in a crime-rampant setting like this.
29:01 - And Directive 4 is revealed. Another reactor commented on this "secret clause" about how this is a good reason why privatizing things like law enforcement is a bad thing. Easy for whoever owns the police and also judges to do a "rules for thee, but not for me."
29:27 - This is the point where Murphy's persona resurfaced. That's why D4 was completely shutting him down thus being able to fight back which got Dick worried.
30:05 - No, not a design flaw. More like being in an environment not suited for it. It is an urban pacification unit not building pacification unit.
35:09 - Pure practical effects with no CGI. With the Murphy being shot scene, it makes me squirm.
35:19 - Murphy was faking it. He knew Boddicker couldn't resist gloating close to him. Which put him in reach of his USB spike.
38:00 - Clever of Murphy to remind everyone that due to D4, he can't harm them thus preventing them from panicking and that if anything goes wrong, they just need to fire Dick.
38:22 - At least the Old Man was polite and he didn't tolerate an employee killing another. After all he could be next.
Another 80s action flick I recommend is 'The Demolition Man' starring Stallone. If you like Robocop, then you'll like that too.
The actor playing Dick Jones likes to play villain roles. But he did play a secondary good guy character in the supernatural thriller "The Car." Try checking out that movie too.
Masterpiece of a movie.
You guys should play the Game Robocop Rogue city next it's bad ass. It's like a love letter to the fans of the first two movies. It replicated the gore and actually being Robocop so well.
Don't worry, Kenny always comes back like in South Park. He appears in the scene as one of the hostages in the Mayor office.😂
In some ways RoboCop story here is like the modern and day Frankenstein. You have a man who died in violence and was reforged much like Frankenstein's creature built by random human parts they used random technology to put him together. And instead of the villagers trying to kill him because he was built from the body parts of criminals who died. This one is embraced and loved by his community and destroying criminal lives especially those who destroyed his while trying to to re-discover his Humanity.
Thanks, Cameron! Thanks, Isaiah! 🚨 If you liked *Nancy* *Allen* as 'Anne Lewis' check her out as one of the mean girls in the horror classic CARRIE (1976) or as a heroic call girl in the crime/drama with occasional horror elements DRESSED TO KILL (1980). 𒆜 My favorite by ROBOCOP's director is STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997), an ode to military propaganda mixed with an alien extermination theme. #CamAndZay #PaulVerhoeven #RoboCop #RoboCop1987
I second both of those great recommendations. And I’ll add my favorite Nancy Allen performance: the thriller Blow Out, opposite John Travolta.
@@johnmoreland6089 Yes, indeed! *Brian* *De* *Palma* is such a great director.
Robo reminds me of the line from Running Scared. "You have the right to remain... dead. You have the right to a coroner. If you cannot afford one we will appoint a medical examiner for you."
Robocop was remade with Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and...CGI. And its still not as good as the original.
Amazing movie. Please do NOT watch RC2 or RC3. This is the best of the series. Nothing comes close.
I saw the end of Robocop 2 filmed in downtown Houston one late nite back in the day. Since I already saw the ending I skipped seeing the movie for years.
(About Mr Kinney)...
"Oh my God, he's gonna get vaporized!"
Yup.
I've always been amused by the moment when the ED-209 robot shoots off his arm, and then within a few seconds the robot shakes and gets a short circuit from the pain 😆 29:29
I don’t know how these two thought that RoboCop had broken any laws, considering that one guy was shooting at him, another was attempting to ra-pe a woman, and the third had already killed someone and posed an imminent threat when he took him out.
38:10 They used a different actor when the bad guy is shot by Robocop and falls out the window....not sure why! Obviously, this is just (kind of a cheap) special effect with him falling........why use a different actor??
Why did Lewis look down at the criminal junk down below? Well there is this thing about black men you know 😂
Please please review the Police Academy films! You will love them! :D
I saw it when I was 6yro. It's my favorite movie, my comfort movie, I adore it. The violence was never a problem, thankfully I'm an 80s kid.
You guys should watch Robocop 2 and stop there. Robocop 3 and the remake are pretty bad.
He said his kid wants him to do the gun twirling when he was doing the gun twirling before he died so yeah he was having flashbacks of his family before he died.
Loved this movie.
You are thinking of Darkman (1990) with Liam Neisom.
Robocop 2 is even more wild..!!
Great movie and ahead of its time. Take a good look at OCP and the business section of the news today
The toxic waste of mutant scene was so creepy watching this as a kid 😂
I was 8 and cheered when he died...legendary scene
Hell of a film right there😀😲, my lil brother threw up at the toxic waste skin guy 😂😂 aah pure gold
I think buddy-boy on the left damn near fainted lol His reaction was hilarious.
2 minutes into this reac and all I can say is holy shit, you boys have NO IDEA what you’re about to see! 😂
38:21 "Murphy who?"
"Murphy Stairwalker."
This is one of the best 80’s movies and Clarence Boddicker is one of the greatest villains ever.
“Bitches leave.”😂😂
