THAT EDIT @ 22:40!!!!!!! 😆😂🤣
The director had to rebuild the set of the conference room scene with ED-209 because he wanted a more over the top shooting of the executive with more viscera and blood months after the initial shoot.
you are touching the guy on the left a little too much
He asked "That's it?" at the end of the movie because with all the blabbering, he missed the 2 last lines that brings it all together. Oh well...
"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!" and "BITCHES LEAVE." were catch phrases that carried me and my friends through college. This film came out when I was a senior in high school... and I worked in a movie theatre. I've probably seen it in whole or part over a hundred times.... and still enjoy the hell out of it.
add "I LIKE it!!" and "just gimme my f#ckin phone call" and that's me all through my 20s.
@torpedoboy4 dead or alive you're coming with me.
@torpedoboy4 you're not the only one.
My dude mentions Starship Troopers, so I am fuckin summoned!!
That movie DESERVES a reaction because it's equally satire on such a level it goes over so many people's heads AND just plain dumb fun
Clarence Boddicker is quite possibly my favorite villain of all time
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!
Man, Red Foreman lived a hard life before moving back to Wisconsin.
"BITCHES LEAVE." is hands down one of the greatest cinamatic one liners of all time.
Pairs nicely with "bitches come" from XXX.
Yes.
And then counterpointed in Vin Diesel's XXX with "BITCHES COME"
@@zachgaskins3731😂😂😂😂😂
Everybody remembers their first toxic waste splat.
“This movie’s got everything I love: gratuitous violence.” ~Rosa Diaz
“Oh, I thought you were listing things.”
Funny show.
as a Detroit native I can only say their depiction of the city is far too nice.
Filed in Dallas, TX, don't know why they didn't film in Detroit
Detroit was right for the short end of the stick of dystopia, but not for futuristic grandeur aspect, so the more renovated Dallas and Pittsburgh were substituted for that.
@0okamino that explains why Murphy's death was at the Steel Mill in Pittsburgh.
Not to mention the distinct lack of Faygo in the film.
Dallas is nicer than Detroit.
How has anyone gone through life without seeing RoboCop?! That's like not seeing The Terminator or 1989 Batman, or Die Hard.
Or Lethal Weapon or BTTF.
True, it s a crime
Nothing says “80s blockbuster character actor” more than Ronny Cox. God bless ‘em and RIP Miguel Ferrer.
Well, Ronny was in Total recall, 1990.
Ferrer was in hot shots deux, parody of action movies like Rambo. Also in Twin peaks. Good, solid actor.
War is fantastic 😂😂😂 in Part Deux.
Word! Don't forget Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2. Dude was a true icon of 80s films and a hell of a character actor.
@randomdude6572 that's right Ronny aka Andrew Bogmil.
Bob Morton ( portrayed by the late Miguel Ferrer ) was the first cousin of George Clooney
Miguel is the son of Mel Ferrer.
"Bitches, leave." Informative and declarative 😁
no fat. perfect sentence.
Fun fact, Kurtwood Smith, the main a-hole muscle, says to the receptionist "I'm her to see Dick Jones"... that's where he met his future wife, the receptionist, to whom he's been married for 35 years.
holy hell! That's incredible trivia!
That's right, her named is Joan.
Ok, so I'm old, righ? But that RoboCop suit blew our Gen X minds in 87.
omg it still holds up
@@SeanTanktopfacts and the new game is brilliant.
I never thought I'd live to see the day someone else acknowledges Paul Blart: Flesh Mall
We’re men of culture Patrick
If you're gonna rank great movie composers, you gotta show these guys Conan the Barbarian and the absolute genius of Basil Poledouris. That movie is a goddamn opera thanks to that man!
Most underrated movie score in film history. Yes, OPERA is definitely the right word!
If 'The Gift of Fury' does not move your soul, then you just don't have one.
Basil's soundtracks are amazing.
The Robo score still remains gold.
This movie is a masterpiece.
At your ages you are too young to remember the reality of the real life soulless 1980s
for anyone that lived through that decade, what you see & hear in the film is spot on
_"It's not John Williams. Not Howard Shore. Not Jerry Goldsmith."_ _"It's not Hans Zimmer."_ ¹
No. It's Mutha Fckin' *_Basil Poledouris!_* Creator of one of THE best scores: *_Conan the Barbarian!_* 🎼🥰♪♬
··•●✺●•··
¹ ─ But I do get what you're saying.
"Woid to your mutha" as they say.
😐👍
I have 4 or 5 different pressings of that score! So frelling good!
Thats fair and the Conan Score FUCKING SLAYS, so maybe I gotta eat my words on that.;
@@SeanTanktop Nah. I'll just grab any chance to sing the praiaes of *Poledouris.* 😁 Was happy to hear you mention *Jerry Goldsmith,* though. Naturally, since his death nearly 20 years ago, his name doesn't come up much. Just the way it is.
The reaction was a lot of fun. 🙋🏼♂️
09:43 - one of many things in this film, but I LOVE how Ed-209 doesn't register that a person being threatened with a gun as a crime, but it does when the gun is pointed at it.
45:18 - Replying to my own comment (I know) but the reason Jones' arms look so long in the fall scene is because it's a miniature shot, and to give the illusion of increased depth/distance, they used a very wide lense for the camera. Unfortunately, the miniature of Jones was not made with that in mind, hence the impression of too-long arms.
I noticed that as well about ED-209. Then again, I can’t fault man or machine for not caring if someone was threatening to shoot Dick Jones. I guess even his own creation agreed.
@@samovarsa2640 It never quite made sense to me how they explained it, but I would they used a different lens for the background and the overlaid miniature shot, so the miniature shot ended up distorted.
Those giant guns that the crooks use to shoot Robocop with are 10% normal weapon parts, and 90% recoil reduction.
Brings a new level to compensating for something. 😉
They are actually real rifles. The only 'fake' things are the massive sights mounted on top, which were originally meant to be featured more in the film.
RoboCuck literally teared me up. Kudos 😂
lololol That and Puddin' Pops is my fave bits of the ep
@@SeanTanktop😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love this movie it is an A list movie for me the score is top notch! Omg it is 80s galore 😎
Always a good day when MMM is in the YT queue
27:37 Due to Bob Morton telling The Old Man they were confident they could produce a prototype within 90 Days, it's safe to assume Alex became Robocop 3 months after he was killed. knowing this, it's reasonable the house was cleared that extensively.
As far as the house sale, there could be many reasons why the house was not cleaned properly and the realtors don't even turn up themselves to sell the house. people could be squatting there for days on end and they would not know, but once they found out they could go as far as kill tresspassers.
I still can't believe I saw this at like 8 years old and they sold action figures at Wal-Mart. The shooting scene was definitely a repressed memory that resurfaced years later.
I miss that trend from the 80's and 90's where you would see action figure lines based on R rated movie properties. Good times.
oh shit yeah, the Alien and Rambo ones we're huge and I was like WHO IS TAKING KIDS TO SEE THESE FILMS? 80's parents... thats who.
To be fair they watched the director's cut, which restored some of the more gratuitous violence which was cut for the cinema.
@@Renoistic actually they watched the theatrical version. it was apparent when clarence said "fun's over".
@@SeanTanktop My friends and I bought tix to Master of the Universe and snuck into Robocop. We were too young for them to sell us tix without an adult because it was rated R.
y'all definitely need to watch starship troopers, you guys would have a blast with that one for sure!
oh we will.
Nuke’em is a real board game. It would be great if the game was in mass production.
Ah, yes. Robocop. Aka a Dutch director looking at American commercialism and corporate culture of the 80s and going "dude, that's messed up." XD
Also: 41:05 The "Robocop" score is good, but Basil Poledouris' best score has got to be "Conan the Barbarian". THAT is top-tier. :)
Conan's score makes your balls grow!
I'd buy that for a dollar (17.50 adjusted for inflation)
There is a quick weird cameo of Paul Verhoeven himself in the club scene. He's the club patron flailing into the camera right after Nash attempts to kick Robocop in the balls.
total recall with yall would be fun too, i watched it for the first time in like 10 years and its undeniably cool. the rebel base being hidden behind a brothel? sex worker solidarity man, and its also another verhoeven classic
Another great edition of Manly Movie Mondays.
Jesus, they talk NON-STOP. For a person who watches Robocop for the first time, it must be so hard ...
☝️☝️☝️☝️❤ Yeah, I wish they would stfu sometimes 😂
Phil Tippett recently did a film called Mad God. Pretty crazy stuff
He's also behind Jurassic Park which he won that Oscar for dinosaur puppet.
YES!!!
So good to see you guys again.
One of my favorite Cyberpunk Sci Fi Action Adventure films ever made!
Before Peter Weller was cast as RoboCop, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Armand Assante, Michael Ironside, Rutger Hauer, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Berenger were considered for the role. Weller was picked as he had more of a slimmer frame, as Schwarzenegger would look bulky in the suit.
Weller lost 3 lbs a day from wearing the suit.
He couldn't eat any solid food except for Ice cream, oatmeal and yogurt. He had a protein shake during his lunch period.
The special effects team had to put in an AC Unit in the suit to prevent Weller from passing out, as it was 110 degrees in Dallas Texas where they were filming.
The stop motion animation effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippett, whom did VFX work for Star Wars Trilogy, Dragonslayer, RoboCop 2, and 3, JURASSIC PARK, and Starship Troopers. His company Tippett Studio also did VFX work for The Twilight Saga, The Spiderwick Chronicles and Cloverfield.
The film was a box office success, making $60 million dollars against a $13 million dollar budget.
It won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing.
Loved how suddenly quiet you guys got for the, “Bitches, leave,” moment……
On a somewhat similar tone to this film, (SOMEWHAT), have you guys seen/ reacted to the movie Upgrade?
It’s a pretty good movie…..WAY better than I expected……maybe check that/ react to that soon…..
2:07 Its actually a 1987 Dallas, Texas standing in for a future Detroit, Michigan.
(The Dallas skyline is visible on the freeway chase, outside of the OCP boardroom window, pretty much anytime we see a skyscraper.)
Yeah. As a fan of the band Superchunk, I know Detroit has a skyline, too. It just wasn’t anywhere near up to the shiny future look they needed.
This is one of my favorite movies, I love manly movie Mondays, so it’ll be two great taste that taste great together
One thing that might add to your experience is that Robocop was intended to represent Reagan-era American Jesus, complete with crucifixion metaphors. It's actually a fairly scathing statement on the US when you think about it.
This is my favorite series on your channel, because I love movies and I love men.
For 1987, this was absolutely amazing at 5 years old lol. Anyway, as a more attentive adult, the movie score is just phenomenal.
Shit, I commented before ya'll mentioned it lol. So yea, this is one of those scores where if you just listen to it, you can replay the movie in your head by the scene, and that's what a score should do.
16:47 Freakin Quagmire image had me rolling 💀🤣😆
There are four RoboCop movies and one spin off called Lady Battle Cop. I love that movie.
Everybody notices Dick Jones arms. Nobody ever catches onto the fact that they used a drill bit to screw down the LCD screen on Murphy's eyes. By the way, I'll watch RoboCop over die hard any day of the week.
Yeah I always laugh at that part with the drill bit.
The beers covering the safe was a joke: they're miller lite so no-one will buy them so they hide the safe perfectly
Why does the close-up replay on the thigh squeeze have me rolling 😂
“And he can sleep in _my_ room.”
You guys were talking and missed the great final! Like the guy in the corner of the sofa who stood up and missed the fundamental part when Murphy, with the hand pen drive, realizes who he is, and that he is "deceased"
But a fun reaction in general, indeed
Idk if it's canon but there's a comic where robocop is turned back online and kills an army of terminators. Also heard that the timeline is robocop, terminators, then judge dredd. But idk if it's canon.
That is _Robocop vs Terminator._ I don’t know if it’s really considered canonical either, but it’s pretty awesome. After all, it’s a Frank Miller/Walt Simonson work.
29:49 « Bitches Leave ! » is literally the motto of Manly Movie Mondays 🧐
To fill out the Paul Verhoevan set, you should watch Flesh + Blood.
Good pick
I saw that movie late one night and was like WTF is going on??? Its really haunting and engaging, and I know nothing about it. Its a Verhoeven?? Get out! I love his stuff!
The "weird arms" effect comes from the lens that was used to film that effect. The length of the arms on the miniature are the correct length.
From watching a recent analysis video, it would appear that RoboCop is set in the year 2043.
Abe definitely looks like The Weeknd
During this time in Chicago the auto show would have a Robocop guy booth and sell autographed photos and i'll never forget waiting in line with my pops as he got me one and i carried that thing around with me for years in my school folders till like second grade : D
Such a nice memory to have. Did they have the 6000 SUX at the auto show? Bigger is better!
@@0okamino that woulda been hilarious : P
One of the manliest movies ever.
Part manly, part… machinely?
Detriotus: a detritus filled Detroit.
"I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a 'great' movie". Yeah, fuck all that noise. 😂 This is maybe a top 5 of the 80s in any genre. From the amazing suit to the cast (especially Weller and his 6 months of mime training) to the stop motion (even the goofy falling bit) to the epic Basil Pouledoris score to Veerhoven's crazy dutchman directing to the insane script... it's a miracle it works and it's a miracle it got made. Also, its influence has been MASSIVE.. especially in gaming. Watch it a few more times, you'll "get it" eventually.
Peter Weller's other big movie is Buckaroo Bonsai, stellar supporting cast, silly, but in a good way, fits the vibe of the night.
I've never seen it and I garuntee the boys haven't either!
Yes! Gotta have some Team Banzai up in here. It is an ensemble to beat the band.
@8:19, it's at least in large part not a matte painting, at minimum the elevator and main section of the building are real. They filmed some pretty bonkers real buildings.
It does *seem* totally unrealistic to survive being shot in the head, but even JFK didn't die immediately despite horrific injuries. Not to be gruesome, but his condition was described as "The brainstem and medulla above the spinal cord was intact enough for him still make attempts to breathe"
That gas station explosion got the production kicked out of Dallas, TX. They had to finish it in Pittsburgh, PA their backup location🤣
Pretty much all Verhoeven’s stuff is worth a Manly Movie Monday watch, from his out there as fuck Dutch language stuff to Flesh+Blood and Total Recall and Starship Troopers. Also I concur with the previous commenter who spoke about watching Conan The Barbarian (Basil Poledouris’ score is amazing, as is his work on Starship Troopers and The Hunt For Red October). I love you guys.
The more modern(2006) dutch "black book' he made is more serious, though still a bit sexed-up. It's set in ww2, good movie.
THEY SCREEN THIS IN DALLAS INDIE THEATERS ALOT. I WATCH IT, EVERYTIME.
I'll buy that for a dollar!
Such a classic. So glad you guys reveiewed this.
Can we have a moment of appreciation for ED209 ? Most underrated bad guy in history! 🤣
10:07 What would have made this scene even more awesome was having the window behind the junior executive getting shot up/ shattered
This is the first time I've seen Scott look at the camera, dressed nice - like he's going to have a spin-off show as the host. But I like all of you guys together, you're all hilarious and have the same opinions that I do with a lot of these movies!
Every time someone goes through a window, take a shot.
Doesn't it look like RoboCop's data spike would slot right into the back of Neo's head?
Hopefully the robocop game this year will be good
I saw this movie at an EGREGIOUSLY young age and have never forgotten it since.
It's the same guy that animated the Rankor...Abe: "How do you know that?"... Dude, when someone asks you ' How do you know that', you say: "That's what I do, I drink and I know things!"
Crazy I saw this so many times as a kid and never thought twice about the coke. Fast forward 20 years and I’m doing lines off..hey ohh
I have heard that actual police officers love this movie. Because Robocop is a GOOD COP. He's violent, but he remains within the boundaries of the Law. He's not a Cowboy Cop; he follows the rules and still wins. Granted, for a given value of "winning..."
lmao "that's Morgan Drase after one drink"
They originally wanted to give Robo a .50 Desert Eagle ( which is no small firearm) but it looked too small when he had the armor on so they created that monstrosity of a handcannon from a Beretta 93
The morale is that police needs more money, and corporations are great if we just remove the few eventual bad apples. Thanks for the video, fun as always!
Don't worry, Kenny will come back in RoboCop 2 and he won't die.😂
"What if we gave to private parties, the exclusive authority of legitimate state violence?" This is why I watch you guys, fuckin love it
🙌🙌🙌
Robocop is a cyborg rules of robotics to apply to him
The last time I saw this movie it was the airline version, and Dick Jones was boasting about calling his boss an airhead.
Depending on how you read the font, the name of the car is either "6000 SUX" or Good Sucks.
I love that y'all just call him Red Forman because when I saw him in anything else I only thought of him as Clarence Boddicker. Kurtwood Smith has range like a MF.
That secretary really did have time later... married Kurtwood Smith
Love this reaction
Basil Poledouris does a great score RIP
damn that edit with the "bitches leave" and the crowd cheering made my week :'D
i first seen this movie when i was 5 years old and loved every second of it
Abe's reaction to Ed 209😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The ending fall looks a lot better when the screen size is about 150-160° of your field of view. The stretched arms give a perspective of the falling..... Still a bit janky, but much better than on a smaller screen.
We were robbed of an ED209 vs Robocop2 (Caine) battle in the sequel. Would have been cool if Robocop and ED209 teamed up to take out Robocop 2.
Bam Margera in the middle.
The point of the film above all else is the dangerous merging of corporatism & facism, had they have gone the route of romance Murphy, that would have been very predictable and on a film with this subject matter wouldnt have fitted in.
BUT I do agree about another 10 minutes (without slowing the pace any), they could have shown Morton & Johnson at THE OCP leasure complex discussing a take over bid & how much money they stood to make from insider information.
I like how every reaction I’ve seen to this movie, literally every single one I’ve watched goes, “he’s still alive?!”. I’m immediately reminded of Mass Effect 2, when you do Zaeed’s companion mission. “You took a bullet to the head.” “Yeah, and you survived your ship being incinerated. Rage is a hell of an anesthetic.”
This movie is on my top 10. I literally grew up with it... Love the action and one-liners, and the satire.
I mean Darth Vader was a full torso with leg and arm stumps. Robocop's basically just a head and maybe a spinal cord/heart.
The perfect movie!
