Nobody ever mentions that RoboCop won an Oscar! Yes, it won an Oscar for Sound Editing, because the sound effects in this film do so much work in selling the illusion that RoboCop is real. His footsteps alone sell the illusion that RoboCop weighs 1000 pounds. RoboCops gun can be distinguished even amongst a sea of gunfire in the drug lab shootout, it is so unique. Every robotic aspect of his nature was done with two things. Peter Weller's stunning acting of robotic movements, and the sound editing added to make him sound and feel robotic, even down to modulation of his voice.

And lack of paying attention, but then I've never filmed myself reacting to a movie the first time watching either. Thus, I give a pass..and this far into the movie the reaction has been great.

[@raphaelperry8159]

It's not just the line. It's the voice and the delivery. Listen to the way he says it the first time. It sounds flat and robotic when he's human but probably to make it more recognisable later on.

It’s the words “Dead or alive your coming with me” that made Emil recognise him.

The guy recognized Robocop, not because of his appearance, but because Robo's "Dead Or Alive, You're Coming With Me" is what Murphy said to him at the warehouse while the guy was watching TV.

[@maddan9086]

In regards to Murphy not screaming his head off when he left hand got blown away, one thing to note is that some people experience this thing called "shock and trauma" when they've suddenly experienced a sudden and traumatic injury. One of the symptoms is numbness. It can be so sudden and traumatic that you don't initially feel it. So in that regard, Murphy's stunned silence at losing that hand could be considered realistic under some circumstances. It kind of reflects how some people reacted when they first see that scene; stunned silence.

[@4everscifi]

That moment when you think "who would bring a robot with live ammo into a board meeting?" and then think back on your days in the corporate world and say "yeah, that's plausible."

[@canadianicedragon2412]

The OR/trauma scene sounds so realistic because they were. They hired a trauma team to to do the scene. The "simple" answer to how does Robo deal with Directive 4... is always priceless. It is so simple once you see it.

[@DelPiero2004]

Almost everyone misses the fact that Bob Morton had Murphy and other "Prime Candidates" cops transferred "restructured" to Metro West "Risk Factor" to speed up the process in creating Robocop.

I think the robber at the gas station recognized Robocop because he said the same line to him when they first met, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me". I want to say Starship Troopers is made by the same director, if you liked Robocop, you might enjoy it as well.

[@shanem4703]

I was nine years old when this first came out and I watched it with my mom. I was in awe throughout because it was such an epic character and design. I did the Robocop walk while making my own noises nearly everywhere for days until mom got annoyed. To this day I still get as excited watching this movie. Ironically back and knee issues from years of physical work having walking like him every morning for the first two hours I'm awake until the joints loosen up. 🤣 Great reaction as always.

when my mum asked me 'what would you like for christmas?' i told her i wanted the robocop VHS. now in the uk we have the rating system U, PG, 15 AND 18. lucky for me my mother didnt know what these ratings meant. so imagine if you will the christmas of 1988 getting your very own vhs copy of robocop and sitting down as a family watching this on christmas day. when the murphy death scene happened my mother was shocked beyond belief that she had bought her then 8 yr old soon an ultra violent movie, but it was mine and was my favourite movie and still is up to this day. thx mum and thank you paul verhoven

I can't tell you how many new fighter jets are built then taken straight to the airplane graveyard because the military doesn't actually need them but the Congress members need the jobs for votes in their districts.

[@Carandini]

Case in point, the recent attempt to replace the A-10 Warthog in the USAF with the idiotic, dysfunctional F-35 Lightning II. This isn't a new thing either. The German Luftwaffe in WWII continued to manufacture the Bf 109 despite the fighter being outclassed by not only enemy airframes, but by the Germans' own Focke-Wulf 190. The reason - Herman Goering was getting a kickback from Meeserschmitt for every Bf 109 that was purchased by the Luftwaffe.

The first time Murphy says "dead or alive, you're coming with me" I always thought it sounds very flat and robotic. Almost a monotone. That's probably so that Emil can recognise his voice later on. I never thought Emil recognised Murphy's face but his tone of voice and delivery.

27:35 - That gas station explosion was, at the time, the largest pyrotechnic effect ever, and in fact was so large it singed the surrounding buildings, scorched a few nearby cars, and ended up with several residents (nobody knew they were shooting a movie) calling the fire department.

[@maskedman1337]

The headquarters building of the evil OCP group (in this film) is Dallas City Hall. During a Q&A, Peter Weller said the filmmakers chose Dallas because it looked shitty, like Detroit, but more futuristic.

[@jamesmarciel5237]

19:15 they had to film this scene soooo many times. The gloves Peter Weller wears in the Robocop costume are made of a thick rubber and every time the sergeant would throw him the keys, they would bounce off the gloves. They eventually got lucky and got one take where Robocop caught the keys and that was the one take they used. Filming took all day for this one scene and actually almost got the entire movie cancelled.

27:33 He recognized RoboCop because of the Murphy's phrase “You are coming with me, dead or alive”.

[@mrtim5363]

Glad you like this, we sure did. It blew us away when it came out. & If you like this, 'Total Recall' by the same director is a must watch. 'Starship Troopers' the last film in the set of three films ramps the gore up. If you're ready for it & ok with it in a movie, 'Starship Troopers' is a good movie. If you're unprepared for it. 'Starship Troopers', can be quite a shock.

[@glennkelley2307]

This was filmed in downtown Dallas texas. I worked down there from 90-96 and you can identify nearly every location. The building that the robot can see through the wall is (or was) the police station. As a matter of trivia, it is in that building that Lee Harvey Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby.

The ORIGINAL Screenplay was for a Graphic Novel Hero... 2000 AD's "Judge Dredd"! the writers had different Directions for the movie, so one changed enough of the storyline and characters to Re-brand it.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

I like the end because The Old Man putting 2 and 2 together that quickly and on the fly shows that he's not the amoral but generally kindly old figurehead he seems like. He was the real deal, he'd built OCP to be what it is. OCP falls prey to the exact same problem of most such organizations, every generation of lackeys by design is picked to be just smart and ruthless enough to not be a threat to the one above them, and when they do turn out to be a threat they get culled.

[@Captianjim]

I agree! Even though he only has a scant few minutes of screen time, The Old Man steals the show at the end when he fires Dick. It's a big moment that feels earned and it's a good simple twist that Robocop even acknowledges with his polite 'Thank you!'. I think they made him a little more corrupt in the sequel but I still love him as a character.

This movie is a neoclassical work of art. Everything is proportioned and balanced. Kinney gets brutally killed by ED209. Murphy gets brutally killed by the gang. Clarence chews gum. Lewis chews gum. Murphy says I drive when breaking in a new partner and takes off while she is still getting in the car Murphy says you drive and she takes off while he is still getting in the car. Joe Cox punches Lewis and she falls off the edge Then in the drug factory Robo shoots a guy and that forces him into Joe who then he falls off the ledge Clarence is the first of the gang to shoot Murphy's hand off and Murphy kills him with the spike in his Robo hand Robo punches the hostage taker through a window, throws Clarence through several window, ED209 throws Murphy through several windows and then Robo shoots Dick Jones through a window 6000SUX is introduced as a joke in the hostage siituation, then as an advertisement then Joe at the end has a brand new one which Clarence shoots, then Clarence wrecks his 600SUX, In the elevator at the beginning Johnson talk to Kinney first then to Bob Morris , who then die in that order with Johnson being the lone survivor of that elevator ride. I could probably list a hundred more symmetries in this film if I watched the whole thing again and paid really close attention

[@nerdiboy5128]

Also, Emil's Death Scene was inspired by the make-up work done on the cult Sci-Fi/ Horror film "The Incredible Melting Man," which tells the story of an astronaut who, travelling around Saturn before returning to Earth, is exposed to intense cosmic radiation that proceeds to melt him alive! The cosmetics came in 4-stages of progression for various points in the movie, from 'Looks-Almost Human' to 'Barely Alive Sludge Pile.' The actor wearing it complained about how heavy the stuff ( plus, the several layers of 'glop' they applied to make him look sticky and gross) was so he began taking off some of the prosthetics... but rather than chastise him for it, they decided to incorporate it in the final production, with pieces of his body being littered around the area (ears, lips, nose, fingernails, hair, the first few layers of skin, anything and everything that remained of his humanity) in bloody clumps, until at the movie's end, the only things remaining of him are one stubborn eyeball that refuses to melt, a partially disintegrated skull, his arm-bones, some veins and nerves, and... literally that's it! No wonder the guy's begging them to kill him! The people who made Robocop even added a similar detail to Emil's "blood" that was present, I think, in Melting Man: over the course of the movie, his blood goes from being thick, crimson red and healthy-looking to thin, watery, brownish-black crud, because according to the notes, all his bone-marrow was disintegrating from the radiation coursing through his body, which altered his blood production and ability to clot effectively, turning the stuff into a blackened dying 'chalky' substance! Whatever Emil took a bath in was eating him from the inside out! Almost makes his death seem like a mercy kill, huh? Not that he really deserves it...

[@johnkacin1500]

They filmed parts of the industrial scenes around here. Just a really cool and fun fact. The local industry was dying but Hollywood came in and started filming movies.

The supporting cast are a bunch of familiar faces in all of Verhoeven's work.

The robber at the convenience store is packing a 9mm Sterling carbine. It’s a British gun based on the Sten submachine gun. The brilliant effects artist who designed and built Robocop is Rob Botin who did the effects on John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982).

[@J_Rossi]

This is one of my all-time favorit action-adventure science fiction movies, hands down. I always thought it was hilarious that ED-209 can hear the tiny little *CLICK* of Kinney pulling back the hammer of a pistol, *BUT* it can't hear the huge *THUMP* when the pistol is thrown on the floor. Plus you'd think the machine would have visual sensors to actually see the gun being dropped. Plus: All that fire-power, and the stinking thing can't walk down steps.

[@djkrazykaly]

yeah this is true. but a bit of lore. Bob, the one that started the robocop project, sabotaged ED-209's demo in the office and made it malfunction to undermine dick jones and get his own project green lit. ED-209 has visual, radar, audio, thermal, and nightvision sensors. as for the stairs, well the thing was designed with a battlefield in mind and the urban centers of cities. it was meant to be a tank, not a ballerina. Robocop and the ED-209 projects were supposed to be run in tandem, with ED-209 doing the heavy work while robocop could do the stuff that ED cant, like climb stairs or go inside a house or small business place to patrol. two different functions that, if implemented properly, could have been highly effective. But that wouldnt make a very good movie, would it?

[@J_Rossi]

The actor that played Murphey/Robocop also played on Dexter as the character Stan Liddy.. That "I know that face" thing struck me while watching Dexter, so I went to IMDB and cross-referenced the other direction.

I like the sound of him walking in the precent

This movie is one of those that goes hand in hand with the Cyberpunk Universe. It shows that universe from the Megacorp or mega-corporation point of view. There is a full conversion cyborg in the RPG game Cyberpunk 2020 that looks like Robocop.

"You are very welcome, sir." Love, the 80s

[@bugvswindshield]

Classic movie. Thanks.

[@michaeldeighan264]

Lol I've always assumed that other cops just come after him to arrest and clean up after him

[@ReymundoCortez]

Everyone reapeated the line "ill buy that for a dollar" line was just as popular as the movie

[@buddah1221]

this movie is a classic for a reason

[@ryanmoore4920]

Nah bro, Robocop doesn't have time to arrest, he just fks up the bad guy and moves on. A true model of efficiency. Lol

[@JoJoDragonslayer]

Oh my gosh, I haven't seen this movie since it came out on vhs

[@binxbolling]

The police cars were Ford Tauruses, which had yet to go on sale. It's design inspired the shape of many cars for several decades.

This movie tens to really blow people expectations away. If they bring back Robocop for another go, he needs to have this costume. The reboot they did a decade or so ago sorta blew it IMO.

[@ivandragomiloff2356]

Watch Total Recall, Aliens 2 and Starship Troopers haha Some the best action sci-fi movies of the time.

[@Paul_1971]

Bloody classic - in my top 5 movies of all time!

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

I LOVE this Robocop movie and part of me wants to do a Robocop cosplay, down to the opening thigh panels and the sliding gun holsters. 🤖👮
