10 Things You Didn't Know About Robocop3

[@renaissanceman7145]

There's a scene in RC3 that takes place at the police station, it begins with two uniformed cops bringing in a very combative bad guy. The focus of the scene is all the cops quit after hearing some bad news from OCP. Once all the cops are gone the unattended criminal suspects are offered jobs as police officers. My point in sharing this is, the two cops at the beginning of the scene...the one screen Right is my neighbor of 18 years, Chris Lee (sometimes credited as C. Derek Lee). He's mostly done stunt work but that often made him available as an extra as in RC3. He was in "Return of the Swamp Thing", "Smokey & the Bandit 3", "Fled", "Turn of Faith", "Shake, Rattle & Hum" (stunt driving), "Sidesho" an independent film in which he was the main bad guy, "Sandtown" another independent film in which he had a fairly big role as well as stunt driving a dump truck, was an extra in several episodes of the TV series "In The Heat Of The Night", did some stunt driving for the TV show "Rescue 911" and was a member of Jason Lau's stunt team www.jasonlauwingchun.com/. All of that may seem pointless to most of you that read it but I just wanted to shine a small light on someone who has contributed to the industry as so many have, in his own way, without much recognition or fanfare. He's done a great job with every movie and TV role and he's been an awesome friend and neighbor.

The actor who played the rehab soldier that chased Nikko early in the film was a gentleman named Ken Strong. He was a professor at UNC Chapel Hill and my sister had one of his classes, and she said he was pretty proud of his role in Robocop 3. She actually had me pop in the film to see his part. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago, but it was pretty clear that he was a well-liked guy. I never met him, but I just knew he was cool, based upon some of the stories I heard about him.

[@renaissanceman7145]

@@michaeljohnson7493 that name sounds familiar. I'll ask Chris about him. Jay Pearson played the other cop in the scene with Chris. Jay recently uploaded this video to KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3zFZpmup9qgrKcsi=1kg2yT9PyU_EilTY and a couple days ago stopped by to visit Chris in the Rav from the video.

I got to speak with Fred Dekker, and something he said was he was shooting for a Frankenstein thing with it, and that's why the little girl was added. He specifically mentioned the scene in Frankenstein where the monster interacts with the little girl by a pond. I told him I hadn't picked up on that connection. And he said "Yeah, nobody else did either" lol.

[@lorensims4846]

Watching it again right now. Actually Officer Lewis's death is a pivotal point in the story. It demonstrates clearly to us and to RoboCop who the real bad guys are. It worked better than I remembered. Of course the real reason was the Nancy Allen didn't want to get called back for any more sequels.

[@nickadams2451]

From what I recall she got into it with Kirschner as they were overworked.

[@LunoxAngel]

It may have been a good story plot point, giving Murphy another reason to take on McDaggett and OCP but it still doesn't change the fact that the death was not very 'attractive' as she just had a bunch of bullets take her down, and she was more badass than that. It's still an impactful death, especially since Nancy Allen's performance was superb and the character is a beloved female cop. It makes me cry every time I watch the film and as a kid, I was even more upset because I thought she was Murphy's best friend, his only friend that had been there since day 1, which she is if you really look at the storyline of the films, and that does bring more emotion to the death despite the way she died.

[@trevorberridge6079]

Fortunately for Nancy there weren't any sequels. Robocop 2014 was a reboot. Not as bad as some say, but they didn't manage to pull out the full potential.

Fred Dekker is one of those writer/directors that didn’t play the Hollywood games and got exiled from Hollywood which is a huge lose for everyone imo (People should actually give Robocop 3 a second go even with the small negatives it’s a enjoyable film imo

[@LunoxAngel]

I agree with you, wholeheartedly. Despite not living up to the first two and the toning down of the violence, the third entry is still a great film, like the third Terminator. Neither are spectacular like their predecessors or absolutely horrendous like their successors ( mostly talking about the Terminator franchise here, and one particular reason regarding Dark Fate, as I enjoyed the Prime Directives four part series and haven't seen or read any of the other media in the Robocop franchise all the way through yet, so thus can not and will not give a full opinion on them ) but they are somewhere in the middle. I prefer RC3 over T3 just a little bit but that's probably due to knowing of its' existence since I was a kid and watching it as much as I watched other big name franchises and T2. I didn't even know there was anything else other than the first two Terminator movies until I was a teenager and young adult.

Ninja/Samurai are a hallmark of Frank Miller’s writing. It was inevitable.

[@LunoxAngel]

When I was a kid both the original and the sequel scared the hell out of me. So the threequel was the only one I was comfortable watching. When I was a teenager only the sequel scared me. I was finally able to truly adore the original in all of it's masterful glory. To this day, I still can't watch the sequel but the original and the threequel are two of my favorite movies of all time, in my top 10 favorite movies of all time and the series as a whole including the series, animated and live action, especially Prime Directives, are definitely in my top 10 favorite franchises of all time, now my top 5. So even though I don't agree with the lower rating, I do love the threequel very much. Edit: I do very much still adore this film even though the rating is undesirable but I can't hate it for that as I adored it as a little girl being the only one I could watch without being terrified enough to not be able to sleep at night and I always wanted to be the little girl in the movie which when I was a teenager and had been writing for a few years, led me to create a younger sister for her named Kiki as that was the name of my first kitten whom I adored with all of my heart and the name is just short, sweet, cute, and adorable which is kind of the whole personality of the character I created who immediately adored Murphy not just because her sister had an action figure of him but because she felt safe around him, knowing he was a good guy and not a bad guy. ♡

I still remember how disappointed I was with Part 3 as a child, but at the time I found the game on the Amiga to be a good match for RoboCop 3

[@RogueBoyScout]

LOL, the game on the Amiga is my introduction to Robocop. My parents wouldn't let me watch it, until we convinced them to let my Uncle hire it for our movie nights at his place. Personally, they didn't mind me seeing Goodfellas at 13, so I couldn't figure it out.

Hey Mr Minty, 👋 over the past 3 days i have watched a lot of your "10 things you didn't know" episodes and I just want to say thank-you for the time you take to Research each episode/s knowledge base and I understand and appreciate the time it takes for the the presentation you create for these episodes 😀 👍 😉 😊 😄 I love my movies and just like yourself we all have a opinion of the things we watched during our youth. I love the fact that your own personal opinions about the movies that you grew up watching gave me room to be objective in my decisions about said movies and I agree with you on your assessments especially with your own personal comedic approach ♥ towards does it work or doesn't it work... you are fair in your assessments.... Any way just wanted to say thankyou for all you do. Keep Doing What You Do So so well 👏 Love and respect to you and your own m8 x

[@TaliaIGhul]

lol In hindsight, OCP was doing Detroit a favor in this movie.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Yeah, the populace were, in effect, the bad guys. Instead of living in crime-ridden ghettos they could be living in new, comfy, peaceful homes with crime all but eradicated. But no, they were wanting to continue existing in broken neighbourhoods surrounded by slums.

Will you do a video on the 2014 reboot?

[@brandonjenkins6381]

This movie had so much potential but fell kinda flat thanks to studio meddling. Going PG-13 after the first 2 were hard R's was a mistake and the final product showed it.

[@pauls4522]

The splatter punk thing was childish and silly. Cops being afraid of a random gang? What is this a video game where splatter punks were lvl 50 and cops only lvl 30?

[@brandonjenkins6381]

@Box Addict I know why they did it but it was still a dumb move that hurt the final product and cost them money in the end. T2 toys flew off of shelves and it was a rated R movie. Boiled siren to the studio got greedy and it bit them in the rear end.
