Clarence Boddicker is one of the best and most underrated villains ever
I loved how they brought him back to life in the finale of the Robocop cartoon (complete with flashbacks to the "does it hurt?" and "fun's over" scene
“I’d buy that for a Dollar!”
And what about Simon Phoenix from Demolition man?
He had a diverse gang lol.
"can you flyyy Bobby?" ;}
It's crazy that the main villan in this film later became like the best tv dad.
Right
Eric be like, oh yeah my dad beat up robocop!
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I love the actor, but when I first saw him in this I couldn’t take him seriously because of this 😂
There are a lot of over the top violence movies from the 80's, but this one has a lot of poignant social commentary, and that's why it's so special to me. Plus, it's just a damn good movie.
Yea it’s actually really deep and philosophical
Yeah; machines putting people out of work, violence in media, corporate politics and ethics, Cybernetics, what is the measure of a cyborg or robot's life to that of a human, PTSD, the rise of crime in low income neighborhoods, places below the poverty line, as a result of fewer jobs that _don't_ require a high school or college degree and price inflations, forcing many to 'Go Big or Go Broke' by choosing a job in crime, and how the media downplays a tragedy or serious incident by immediately cutting to something else (COMMERCIAL, CUT TO COMMERCIAL!!!) and censoring the flow of information, so nobody panics or thinks for themselves.
Detroit, Michigan is perhaps the closest we're getting to a real-life Gotham City.
“Can you fly Bobby?”
“Bitches leave”
“Don’t touch me man”
So many great lines
You forgot the most iconic: "I'd buy THAT for a dollar!!!"
The best is the final line… “Murphy”… I remember people shouting it out in the theatre before Peter Weller could say the line.. And then everyone went nuts..
Bitches leave is a fave of mine
"I don't wanna fuck with you, Sal!"
"Guns, guns, GUNS!"
Love that guy in the dance club. "Hey! Free gun!"
Lmaooo nightclubs were the best in the 80s 😂
That's actually Paul Verhoeven himself doing a cameo
@@PWN3GE Paul Verhoeven does have a cameo during the club scene but he's not the guy who catches the gun
When in doubt, dance it out!
@@PWN3GE Not Paul Verhoeven. He IS in that scene, but he's on screen for a literal second. Guy with glasses, going apeshit when Nash kicks Murphy in the "nuts"
Now you gotta check out "Total Recall" and "Starship Troopers" to finish the holy trinity of Verhoeven
Another great Verhoeven film that rarely gets talked about is Flesh+Blood.
Yes. Total Recall is a great suggestion.
Starship troopers is a smart social commentary movie disguised as a braindead action flick.
@@TheGerrok If only Verhoeven had actually read the book before making the movie, it might have been different.
@@Mitheledh I've heard that the Starship Troopers book would've been difficult to turn into a movie as written, but I unfortunately haven't read it. Regardless, I'm not disappointed with what we got, I really enjoy Verhoeven movies.
It's so funny watching these reactions. I was born in 1983, this came out in 1987 and I saw this on TV in 89. I was too young to watch it but my mom let me. I loved Murphy immediately, RoboCop was my hero. He still is. Nowadays everything is so watered down, there's violence but there is no blood. That's why I respect movies like John Wick. But RoboCop is more than its ultra violence, it's about corporate greed and about the soul trapped in the machine.
Yea that’s what I really enjoyed. It wasn’t just mindless violence. There was a lot of social commentary!
I was born in 1982. I think all of us as kids love Robocop.
Yeah, copious blood and social commentary are two of the four pillars of Verhoeven sci-fi. (The other two are co-ed locker rooms/showers and people going through glass.)
Well put.
@@CapedInformer Paul Verhoeven is actually a really good social commentator but unfortunately for many people the poignant messages get lost in the blood and guts, also I think he isn't quite as sensitive to violence as many would be as he grew up on Nazi occupied Holland where he more than likely witnessed a great deal of violence and likely became desensitized to it.
I saw this when I was 17 in 1987 and it was the 1st R rated film I ever saw in the theatre (and I lied about my age as you had to be 18 in Canada)... It blew me away at 17. I've rewatched it dozens of times and it is still one of the best sci-fi films of the era. Themes of consumerism run amok, business monopolies and corruption which goes from the top down (the "real" villains are all the executives at Omni Consumer Products), themes of Death and Resurrection- notice the symbolism of how Robocop "walks on water" at the climax against Clarence. An outstanding soundtrack. And an absolutely solid performance by Peter Weller.
This movie could have gone in a bunch of stupid directions like having Robo throw a car at the bad guys, or having him have to save his widowed wife and son from the Boddicker Gang, or have a romantic relationship between him and Lewis- so glad it didn't go that route.
Bit of trivia- the version you watched originally got an "X" rating from the Motion Picture Association of America in 1987 because of the sheer amount of over the top violence. Scenes like ED209 shooting the boardroom victim Kinney a thousand times, Murphy being shot to death, and Clarence's death at the end all had to be trimmed down (but not completely deleted) to reduce it to an R rating for theatres. The MPAA also wanted them to cut the Melting Man scene- but director Paul Verhoeven put his foot down and managed to keep it in, in its entirety (something that I'll never forget watching on a 35 foot movie screen as a 17 year old kid).
About the sequels- Robocop 2 is... Okay. It doesn't have the heart of the original. Different director. The satire seems forced at times. I don't hate it though. However Robocop 3 is a *complete waste of 2 hours you'll never get back.* Doesn't even have Peter Weller as Robo in it. It's... terrible.
This film was a revolution for cinema in 1987 !
I can see why
The ads in this movie were crazy for the time, I think. I was young so I don't know exactly and of course US only. Seen some weird shit from overseas recently. Funny enough I remember the blue suntan lotion as I lived long enough to see that become a real thing.
4:52, oh, god!! This IS the Director's Cut, all right! That was violent as hell! Lol!
That was on the level of Saving Private Ryan. Wow!
I remember watching it on TV in the late '90s and they'd censored/changed every swear word. They over dubbed the "Fuck me, fuck me.." to: "Why me, why me.." It was bad!
In the present day, Candice Owen would leap to ED's defense and say that the dude it shredded died of a drug overdose.
@@Renegade2786 If she was still working for Social Autopsy she certainly would.
Several actors were considered for the role:.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Armand Assante
Michael Ironside
Rutger Hauer and
Sylvester Stallone.
They all turned it down due to their large frames and Peter Weller was cast instead, as they wanted someone with a slender build to fit the suit.
Any one of them would have been great but Peter Weller owns Robocop and no one could replace him.
Also Peter Weller actually lost a lot of weight during filming, because it was so incredibly hot wearing the suit which took about three hours to put on or take off
arnald came lose when he got that turboman suit. sly got the dredd suit.
I think, Kurtwood Smith, who played "Clarence Bodiker" should have won an award for this movie. He was great, perfectly evil. Peter Weller went on to get a Master's degree in the arts. Hosts a lot of Ancient History programs and teaches in Universities.
What about Clint Eastwood
Wow the Dad from "That 70's Show" really changed in the 80's
You called it, ED-209 isn’t safe, Mr. Kenny found out the hard way
He found the “glitch”
Peter Weller actually went to Marcel Marceau, a famous French mime, to develop his movement in the suit. Just amazing stuff. If you like Peter Weller you should check out Buckaroo Bonzai if you dig sci-fi, or Leviathan if you like horror! ;)
Oh wow that was actually a great idea
Leviathan is great!
@annbowen9656 highly underrated but ShakeDown is my favorite.
Of Unknown Origin is one of his best.
Robocop 2 is definitely worth reacting to. Robocop 3, not so much.
Starship Troopers is another great Verhoeven movie!
Robocop 3 was just awful.
Total Recall was great to see.
I like 3 better than 2, even if it is totally Disneyfied.
@@michaelfitzgerald38 I have never understood why people hated that movie. I loved it
2 and 3 are worth reacting to same with the tv show and follow up movies with a new actor as robocop.
something about "hey clarence, new toys?" and the cut towards his car getting destroyed got me cackling :D
😂
"NICE CAR, JOE!!!"
The news wasn't like that in the 80's nor was the police department. It was part of the satire including the corporate parts
Lol yea I was just poking fun
A satellite laser misfires and destroys half of Orange County, killing two ex-presidents. Yeah, definitely satire lol
@@pablom-f8762 Excuse me, a laser from a PEACE PLATFORM 🤣
As a kid from the 80’s this, the last dragon, predator, bloodsport, aliens were all movies we grew up around. Best time ever was going to the video store to rent them for the weekend and talk about it in school the next week.
Glad to see younger people appreciate these all these great films. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
To this day nobody knows why ED-209 had live ammo.
To make one of the best and most violent scenes in cinema..
Maybe, they were planning a shooting demonstration, after the arrest demo.
4:19, the stop motion animation was done by Phil Tippett whom would later win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects for JURASSIC PARK.
I have to get into that one too
In one of the explosion scenes, the blast was bigger than the effects crew meant for it to be, so Kurtwood Smith (Clarence) got hit by some small bits of flying debris. He wasn't seriously injured, but to make it up to him, he was given extra money as "stunt pay." He said that after that, he tried stand closer to explosions so he could get some more extra money. I hope he was kidding.
That’s funny because it sounds like something the real Clarence would do 😂
Kurtwood Smith totally wasn't kidding, and why His action roles dried up REAL fast! lol!!!
Did you mean when they're destroying the shops with the rifles?
@@uburton -- I think it's when the pickup loaded with the scrap metal and junk exploded.. You can see debris landing past Kurtwood ..
Action movies got absolutely ruined when studio execs started meddling to get them toned down to meet a PG-13 rating. You very rarely see this level of violence now aside from John Wick and Tarantino films.
True! Robocop (2014) is PG-13. This is just wrong.
Even John Wick has mostly CGI blood spatter and doesn't use many practical effects.
PG-13 back in the 20th century wasn't the same as today. The Indiana Jones trilogy, The Fugitive, The Fifth Element, The Mask of Zorro, etc... weren't rated R.
Also the camera shake we have nowdays suck
@@Hubert_Cumberdale_ Camera shakes have been done well in movies like Top Gun & Saving Private Ryan. It depends on their purpose & execution.
Well everyone seems cool with it and don't see anything illegal... because it's not. OCP basically made the city private, so what is illegal or not depends on them. Which is why, in the end, they face no consequence for it.
That's the typical dystopian future where private companies have all the power of a government. And Detroit is unofficially OCP property.
pretty much the same with the original Roller Ball movie from 1973.
Verhoeven was not appreciated in his day. I knew he would be one day.
You should watch the video on TH-cam with Petter Weller talking at a screen of Robocop. Talks about playing Robocop and the things he had to do to get into the character, dude is smart.
I’ve watched this movie many times, but the part that got me was when RoboCop said about his family, “I can feel them, but I can’t remember them”😓
The movie was filmed in the 80's, but it is set around 1999/2000's.
I thought this was set around the 2030s
When I was a little kid, watching this on VHS, this was my favorite movie. Over the years, I saw lots of movies that had better plots, better characters, better effects. But today, 30 years or so later, it's come back around. This is once again my favorite movie.
9:56 something about needing a human brain for better decision making. They explain it a bit better in the recent reboot.
ED-209 is all the answer you need. There has to be some humanity in there, too, not just programming. The directives make sure the human mind doesn’t have total freedom.
The neural network and physiology of the human brain is far more powerful computationally and learning than the most powerful computer so far. It's not artificial intelligence, it's real intelligence. Plus no computer programming is necessary to run the mechanical body since that can all be hardwired to the nerve network. Cyborgs would for sure be more capable than robots unless you had supercomputer AI like in the Terminator, even so there's a strong argument for a brain controlled machine. Especially since the brain itself can be enhanced with chips and memory boosters.
10:05 They did. You saw it earlier in the film. But it lacked the processing ability and humanity of the human brain, so they went for part-man and part-machine instead.
It's definitely the combination of an amazingly well made movie and Weller's performance in this movie that makes it so good. The movements he makes, the voice, the way he plays him works so well. It'd still be a decent movie without him but he really made the performance something special and I think it just raises it another level.
6:15, never revealed, it's implied the film takes place in 2043-44.
Yea I was wondering about that
Too me this movie takes place in an alternate reality version of Detroit 1997. Where robo technology is more evolved and crime and corporate greed is more rampant. You see throughout the movie that they still use old school computers and crt TVs instead of flat-screens and smartphones. News clips showing more sophisticated space tech and the south american wars in the background. So a combination of 80s and 90s lifestyle with a little touch of advanced technology set in alternate reality that is 10 years later when the movie was first released makes more sense to me.
A great moment in the movie is the moment when Murphy asked officer Luis to help him adjust when he was trying aim at the baby food bottles . he starts using his regular voice not the default robot voice . This was not in the script Peter Weller improved this scene to let the audience know that Murphy was regaining his humanity
One of the best action movies ever!
It was intense!
One of the best American movies of all time. The violence, the comedy, the drama, the satire all still work.
Made by Paul Verhoevan from Holland
It had so much going for it. Didn’t expect it to be so funny lol
@@CapedInformer One of the greatest. I saw it when I was 7 so it was all serious lol. I was amazed
One of my favourite movies of all time - blew me away when I first saw it at the cinema as a teenager
No one expected what they saw when they first saw this movie. I was totally shocked at the graphic violence as was many people.
I can imagine
You're not the only one, my jaw was dropped seeing how Murphy became Robocop
I’d won tickets to see this in the theater and took my 7-year-old son, not realizing it was R rated. I tried covering his eyes but 😬
Good review brother. In this movie, they wanted to make a cyborg police officer, that had emotions, feelings, but they wanted to control him, but..Robocop, made his own decisions, like a human being would, plus he solved his own murder
Everything you said, and the humor too! "Think you can outsmart a bullet?" 😃
in robocop1 (dont know about the other movies) they went out of their way and actually created miniture scene, like when ED209 fell down the stairs, that was a miniture-capture, if that makes sense,
it's just awesome how much they put into this movie before the time of CGI, and we all know how robo2014 went, skip that one.
The Director's Cut is the way to go. In the theater the violence was 'toned down' by the MPAA but it ended up having the effect of making the film MORE gross. By limiting the violence they lost the effect of camp and comedy. The exaggerated world (I'd buy that for a dollar!) was meant to be reflected in the over-the-top massacres until they became funny. "Somebody want to call a paramedic?" lands big laughs in the Director's version while in the R-rated cut it leaves you wondering if they really should. Also, this movie is one of the main reasons there is now an NC-17 rating.
Paul Verhoeven directed also ; "Total Recall"with Arnold S. and "Spacetroopers". His cameraman was ; Jan de Bont; Jan is also a Dutchman as Paul. Jan de Bont directed; "Speed". with Kenau Reeves and Sandra Bullock ! They used Dutch Humor in their movies !
24:25 Note: apparently falling down a very tall building will make your arms longer 🤣
I held back commenting about that 😂😂
Hahaha!
That windows shutting down bit killed me 🤣🤣🤣
😂
I remember watching this when I was WAAAAAY too young to watch this. This whole movie gave me that cold feeling in my gut. Great film though.
Same
Man, watching someone about to watch Robocop for the first time is like watching a kid about to open presents on Christmas
Glad you saw that VERSION Caped.
I'd buy that for a dollar!!!!!
Commercial was ridiculous 😂
Born in 94, I grew up with some great movies that were played on TV or from a VHS collection my family had. This was definitely one of those that stuck with me. It also helped that my baby sitters were mainly Spanish speakers so they couldn't really understand the cursing haha
"I can feel them...but I can't remember them..."
Punches me in the gut every time.
They actually brought that line back in the cartoon, RoboCop: Alpha Commando. It hit just as hard then.
To paraphrase Stefan from SNL, "this movie has EVERYTHING"... great action, solid social commentary, better acting than it deserves, better sad hero story than it deserves, a villain who's having so much fun it's infectious, etc. :D
I think you saying "I'm not sure who's worse" is the director succeeding in one of his messages with this movie. He used this script as a social satire to comment on media, violence, corporate greed, etc., by making a movie so violent it's almost ridiculous. Turns out, that he did SUCH a good job though, that the movie works just as a standalone action movie. He did the same thing with Starship Troopers... which was a commentary on the military, blind patriotism, etc, but also a fun sci-fi movie.
As far as Robocop's "moves", you can find a TH-cam clip from a con of Peter Weller talking about how the suit was difficult to move in at first, and how he had the producers bring in an old movement instructor of his that he worked with for days trying to figure out the best way for Robocop to move. Also, I think Weller's last movie was the second one of the new Star Treks. He also did the voice of old Batman in The Dark Knight Returns feature length animated movie.
A LOT more thought than you'd expect was put into this movie :) SO GOOD!
(PS: If you look around TH-cam, you may find a fan film where someone recreated the d**k shooting scene, but then added a LOT more dudes for Robocop to shoot :D )
22:25: Also, Emil's appearance after taking his 'Toxic Waste Bath' was directly inspired by the make-up work done in the cult Sci-Fi/ Horror Movie "The Incredible Melting Man," which was about an astronaut who was exposed to intense cosmic radiation that was slowly melting him alive; it had 4-separate stages where it went from "looking-almost human" to "barely alive sludge pile," as during the progress of the movie, he loses more and more flesh which just sloughed off... including his nose, his ears, hair, eyelids, lips, first couple layers of skin, exposing the veins and nerves and the skeleton, until the only thing remaining of him was just one of his eyes... and at that point, the guy was just begging them to finish him off!
His blood went from being thick crimson red (like a normal person's) to being a thin, watery brownish-black glop (similar to what Emil goes through, if you look at Clarence's windshield after he splatters him).
And the fact that his SWEAT IS _STEAMING_ is a very clear sign that it burns and he's in crippling agony! It's chewing through him like hydro-sulfuric acid, making his bones all soft and spongy! That's probably why he came apart so easily when Clarence ran him over! Though all things considered that may have been a mercy, putting Emil out of his misery!
I remember when I was a kid, they left notes on out doors that they were going to blow up the gas station near our house. Crazy to see 1985 Dallas sometimes.
It's easy to knock the effects... but remember that this movie was made for a measly $11 million, which is $25 million in today's dollars, and CG wasn't yet an option. Plus I think the campiness of the effects adds to the charm of the film.
It’s also acknowledged with self-parody, the clever car commercial with the stop-motion dinosaur. The straight edit from movie to commercial makes you almost wonder for a second if there’s supposed to be a dinosaur in Detroit. 😁 The “fake” and real effects match.
I love your reactions they are classic and RoboCop was one of the best movies of the 80s I was so glad that grow up in that era as well as the 90s
I was 7 when this came out. Robocop 2 was my favorite.. First one is amazing as well. Let's go.
RoboCop 2 doesn't get the respect it deserves. It cranks up the camp, but in all the best ways possible.
I was way too young when I first watched it but I regret nothing 🤖 it had a big impact on me. I wish I could erase my memory and watch it again for the first time. Glad to see you enjoying it 👍🏻
Yep I was 12 when this movie came out. Snuck into the drive inn to watch it. Just hide in the car boot once you are in its all good no one cared.
"Bitches, leave." Some of the best dialogue ever put on film.
Top tier writing.
Robocop 2 is worth watching for sure, I would skip the rest of them after that though.
Yes. Watch 2 and then for the love of god, stop.
True
There was a pilot in WW2 who survived an anti-aircraft cannon round going through his head. Not only did he survive, decades after the war he gave his torn up hat to the very pilot that put the round through his head
That's what I always loved about Robocop growing up: the no look kills. 😎
for sure
It was fun to watch you react to the film. It was like fresh eyes watching it and reminded me why I love this flick so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love how your voice goes next-level midway through the opening ED-209 scene lmao
What I've loved about this movie is that each member of the gang had a personality. they weren't mindless drones with zero character.
The movies directors had so much more confidence in the 80s-90s. Take Beetlejuice, Predator, Terminator, Robocop: all original ideas. They went all in, they didn't have a formula or template to copy, no focus groups, no charts or restrictions. It was a great time for creativity and that's why I wish every greedy studios owners to get tarantulas in their lungs.
Peter Weller played Admiral Marcus on Star Trek Into Darkness. And he voiced old man Batman on the Dark Knights Returns. Thought you'd might like that and want to check that out
This, Total Recall and Starship Troopers are my favorite Paul Verhoeven flicks. I love how he mixes ultra violence, humor and also a bit of social commentary in his films. To me he is up there with some of the best action directors.
The windows shutdown noise gave me a belly laugh. Great reaction! Movie is so brutal even by today’s standards.
Haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
"Come on, Sal! The Tigers are playing..tonight! I never miss a game."
19:00 ED-209 was designed for battlefields, not for policing but OCP just slapped a coat of paint on it and marketed it to cities for urban policing because, as Dick Jones said “we had years of contracts for parts and maintenance who cares if it works?!?”
Omg this movie here. I was really young when this movie came out and I used to watch it all the time and I didn't realize how violent it was lol.
Fun fact, the team who try and revive Murphy at the start are a real crash team from a local hospital.
"I don't think it's the Champagne, Bob.." 😂
The film is the epitome of what did you wanna be when you grew up lol. Awesome classic film. Hollywood doesn't make FUN films like these anymore.
The guy who tried to run over RoboCop had crashed into the toxic waste 'til his body got infected badly. Even of course, they added RoboCop as a guest character for MK11:Aftermath & Ultimate!
Watched part 1 and 2 of Robo same with Predator 1&2 countless times as a kid, the sequels aren't as great but still fun af.
The 3 famous quotes from this movie are "Dead or alive your coming with me" "I'll but that for a dollar" & "Bitches Leave"
Amazing quotes lol
Funny thing about 'bitches leave', apparently the guy wasn't a native American English speaker and didn't quite understand what the word meant, so he spent the rest of the shoot referring to all the women as 'bitches' to everyone's amusement
I'm 42 and when I was a teenager in the 90's I dont know how many times I quoted Clarence Boddicker saying "bitches leave" when I tried to piss off girls I used to know.
Same here on all counts 😅
"ROBOCOP 2" is directed by the director of "Star Wars : THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" ! 👍 It 's worth watching !
Def this. Watch the 2. Skip the rest.
And the music was also composed by the same guy who did Star Trek IV.
Fun fact: Kenny (the guy that ED-209 killed at the beginning) well when the were doing reshoots offered to do the scene again and the director or sfx guy loaded him up whit extra squibs and they even grabbed spaghetti from craft services for more gore
Movies like this we dont get them anymore the 80s were special movie magic time so many iconic and pop culture movies.
Paul Verhoeven is the master of over the top action violence! Just look at Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers, even a medieval movie in 1985 called Flesh and Blood. All great films!
Out of all the many movies set in the future Robocop get's lots of things correct. Hand held GPS, DVDs, USB (in this movie it's a spike but serves the same purpose), facial recognition.
16:00 “…would drive any man crazy” yes, watch Robocop 2, there’s a great scene showing the other Robocops OCP tried to make but they all went crazy and committed suicide and/or went on killing sprees. Murphy was unique because of his sense of duty and commitment to being a cop.
Bro you nailed that so perfectly! Awesomely done
6:54, that line was referenced in DEADPOOL.
Rewatch your reaction, and pay close attention to the way you reacted to both of the bloody shootout scenes in the first act - the "just a glitch" one and the "I don't like cops" one. This is EXACTLY what Verhoeven aimed for.
To traumatize us? It worked ol
@@CapedInformer I mean, kinda, yeah.
Awesome how he actually uses technical analysis when discussing the films he views. Makes him way more interesting to watch then some of the other people simply reacting with no depth to films everyone has seen. Fan of Caped Informer now☑️✨
I honestly forgot how brutal this movie actually was
Crazy brutal lol. Didn’t know how it passed to get into cinemas
Obviously they had a time machine in the 80's to show how actual Detroit was in the 2000's.
Basil Poledouris did the score. He also did Conan the Barbarian. You can hear the style.
"Where are all these casual automatic weapons coming from..." let me tell you a little story about North and Central America in the 1980s....
Yo, You keep mentioning Metal Gear Solid, You need to watch Escape from New York and Escape from LA
Oh yeaaa that’s a good one. I’ll add that one
New York was for sure better
when you said, "that does not look safe", I said, "you don't know how right you are" lol
And you wanna know what's really interesting... I watched this movie with my parents when I was like 6 years old, and was bit with the Robocop fever. I just wanted to be like him(except for the killing parts). Today the media would go bat shit crazy if kids watched this type of movie.
the Idea was to keep the organic experience, training and reasoning skills of a seasoned officer with the nonstop technology of a cyborg.
Here's an interesting fact about the theme song if you listen to the whole thing. Music theory uses horns to signify heroic leitmotif (hero's theme), It starts off with warm tone instruments strings with horns, then goes to metal clinging and horns and the strings disappear, then ends with strings, metal clanging and horns. Mirroring the journey of Robocop.
You should check out the original Total Recall. It’s excellent.
High on my list!
@@CapedInformer it was also directed by Verhoeven. It’s a sci-fi classic.
dude. if you love Verhoven and his OTT action/gore and the music(Basil Poledoris), Watch Total Recall 1990 Next and then STARSHIP TROOPERS 1997. YOU WILL ENJOY IMMENSELY.
Yeah RoboCop was definitely over the top at times.
but still this day RoboCop's one of those type of movies that it just holds up even with all this crazy antics that it's in the movie.
I was definitely like 5 years old when I first watch the movie and it just blew me away how much the first film was so damn good.
you really do get caught up in the story when RoboCop was definitely getting shot you know Murphy by the other police officers.the entire time as he was getting done down I was literally crying because I just was like come on stop.
But you know like it just had a great beginning and amazing metal and really cool ending
Definitely. A bit much to see at 5 though lol
You asked about why they didn't just make a robot instead of combining the human and machine. It's a good question and a documentary I saw about robots about ten or fifteen years ago may have answered it. For the longest time the designers of robots had a really difficult time getting them to do two things that humans have no problem doing: walking down stairs and walking through crowds of people. As far as why steps were a problem, I really can't remember. As far as crowds of people, I guess it was a really tough to get the robots to sense when to turn one's body to avoid an oncoming being. From the stuff my brother has sent me about robots (he's a tech nerd) the last few years, engineers have supposedly solved these problems. As you can see from the movie, ED 209 couldn't walk stairs, making him useless in those situations.
I though the character of Clarence Boddicker, played by Kurtwood Smith (the father from "That 70s Show") was also excellent in this movie. One of my favorite villains.
