10 Wild Facts About Clarence's 2043 OCP 6000 SUX - Robocop

Watch the new revised video here: rumble.com/v4pwxfn-10-wild-fa...
New Diecast Channel "Show & Tell Diecast": / @showandtelldiecast43
The "6000 SUX" in the 1987 movie "RoboCop" is a satirical take on consumerism and the automotive industry. Designed as a parody of extravagant, gas-guzzling luxury cars, the 6000 SUX represents excess and ostentation in a dystopian Detroit. The car is depicted in the film as a symbol of corporate greed, featuring absurdly low fuel efficiency of 8.2 miles per gallon, a detail highlighted in the movie's commercial advertisements. The over-the-top marketing campaign within the film serves as a commentary on the societal priorities of the time. The 6000 SUX becomes a humorous yet poignant element in the narrative, reflecting the film's broader critique of corporate influence and the commodification of every aspect of daily life in a futuristic and dystopian urban landscape.

3:06 Pretty sure that's an Australian built XF Ford Falcon you show there. And funnily enough I'm also pretty sure the cop cars in Robocop were Australian EA Falcons which were released about a year after Robocop came out. They certainly look like them. Always wondered about that.

[@Wooargh]

And btw, you're talking about cars getting more curvy, well the XF Falcon was the third in the series. The first was the XD and that was boxy as hell. And funnily enough the XD came just after the XC which was from the series of one of the most famous car stars of all time, Mad Max's V8 Interceptor which was also the most curvy Falcon ever made.

Letting it rot away in the desert is just ridiculous. Even if it's not a movie car, they just treat it like trash. Friend of mine inquired about a VW Bus near me, but the guy wouldn't sell it because it used to be his dad's. The thing was loaded up with rotting trash, the bus itself was rotting away because it sank so low in the ground that the frame was almost touching the ground, it wasn't covered, even by trees, it just sat by the road in the Michigan sun and snow for decades. Eventually it disappeared. You could still see where it sat for a short while, huge stains on the ground from oil and other fluids. Obviously the guy didn't think to highly of his dad.

The dashboard & steering wheel shot in one scene was a big clue it was a cutlass.

Could be, sure looks quite good considering all by hand detailing 😉👍

[@cartoonfan959]

do you know the movie The Driver (1978) by Walter Hlil with Ryan O'Neil ? some cool cars and chasses in there , maybe material for you, a red 73 Chevy C-10 Stepside used in a longer chase at the end , an orange Mercedes getting demolsihed in an iconic scene

[@CarStarz42]

Yep, that one is on my list as well. In act, I have the bluray of it sitting right next to me now 😉👍

[@alexander1485]

i like how he says "S.U.X." instead of just SUX

For anyone that’s a fan of Clarence a group called “8 bit suicide” did a decent song about him, called “Boddicker”, it’s here on KZbin.

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, cool 😉👍

[@thomasdaddio741]

Love the channel sir , can you please do a video of Joe Mannix barris Dart or the other vehicles Mannix drove on the show

[@CarStarz42]

Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel. I'll add that show to my mega to do list. Thanks 😉👍

[@thomasdaddio741]

@@CarStarz42 Thank you sir, and we all appreciate everything you do

[@catsaregovernmentspies]

I always thought it was a mid-80s Mercury Cougar. Interesting.

[@CarStarz42]

Looks similar, but nope😉

Excellent video - Find the crown Victoria from heat. Thank you 🤓

[@CarStarz42]

Thanks and I'll add that one to the list too 😉👍

Here you buy the only surviving 6000sux & take to france with our complimentary serving of black widow spiders 😂

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, indeed and quite terrifying to have to deal with too!

[@paulvolkmann2979]

WOW! The Crimson Crusher ... Can you make Thunder Beast? It’s not far off.

[@CarStarz42]

Gotta love the Krimson Krusher! Sure, I'll do a Thunder Beast video too. I've got a lot of these vintage Monster Truck diecasts as I just can't get enough of them! 😉👍

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very cool thanks for your time did not now that way cool thanks 👍😊

[@CarStarz42]

You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it 😉👍

[@StrelokBoggard]

About the video game, if you like Robocop you’ll love this game. It’s just after the second movie (so it kind of functions to erase/replace the third) and is the continuation of the story that fans of the first 2 movies deserves and it’s the ultimate being Robocop experience is, outside of having your brain transplanted into a cyborg body for real

[@CarStarz42]

Awesome! I hope to reach a point in the future when I have time for games again, but will probably be a few years as I got a lot going on for now, lol.

[@StrelokBoggard]

I know the feeling,I stepped away from it for 9 years and always felt an itch on the background for it

[@CarStarz42]

@@StrelokBoggard Yeah, it'll probably call me back around the 2025 mark or whenever GTA6 actually releases as that is really the only "must play" game series for me, other than the GT series that is, and has been since 1997. Good thing it takes them a decade or more between releases in both of those series now otherwise I'd probably be playing them all the time 😉

[@SlickOils]

Brilliant film, I painted Robocop on my channel, nice video!

[@CarStarz42]

Cool 😉👍

[@DMETS519]

I thought it was a thunderbird. Figured they'd go all in with Ford because they were showcasing the new Taurus as the police car.

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, many have thought that, but nope 😉

[@placeholdername3206]

I always thought it was an interesting prop car. Loved the retro futuristic vibe to it, so 80's. I love how the video game Cyberpunk 2077 has several cars in the same vibe

[@CarStarz42]

😉👍

[@pontiacmaniac7772]

The front end reminds me of the Aston Martin Lagonda

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed 😉👍

[@exploringwithmatthew1629]

The 6000 SUX is in the show, but in a really weird way. It is not like the one shown in the original Robocop. I can't recall correctly but it looks more like a Pontiac Grand Prix from the time, it's not custom or anything, simply a rebranded vehicle with the 6000 SUX name on it, consider it a newer generation of the SUX. It's not really an SUX at all, but if you pay attention to Robocops scanner, when he sees the car it says 6000 SUX on his scanner.

[@CarStarz42]

True, but the actual SUX 6000 never makes an appearance though; so that doesn't count 😉

[@conflicthorizon]

The same people that did the new Robocop game also made the best Terminator game. Highly recommend both games.

[@CarStarz42]

Cool, at some point I hope to have enough free time again to play some games again as I'd like to try both of those 😉👍

[@nascarlover2016]

Gotta do either the 57 Chevy or the 68 Chevelle from Catch me if you can!

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed and already on my list too, thanks 😉👍

[@zerocool5395]

I'm currently playing Cyberpunk 2077, the SUX would fit right in the game.

[@CarStarz42]

Cool, yeah sounds like it would 😉👍

[@ThePre82]

There is a robocop police car driving around bury Lancashire, England. It has robocop in the middle of the police lights.

[@CarStarz42]

Cool 😉👍

[@SebastianGonzalez-fr9wv]

The front of the 6000 SUX reminds me a 5 door Ford Sierra

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, a bit; Also, from certain angles, kind of like an '80 Trans-Am in the headlight area anyways 😉

[@Ecosse57]

ugly car (by design) but a part of a significant film. i read recently that gene (in his 90s and still active) is closing shop after all these years. the man has created so many important cars over the decades. love this movie!

[@CarStarz42]

Very true, the man is now 96! Certainly deserves to retire. Yeah, those guys from France bought several of his movie cars including one from Bladerunner and the cop car from BTTF2.

[@user-tl9ji9oz2n]

The thing looks like you should be able to see a big turbo through whole on the front end!!!😂😂😂😮

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, yeah; that would make it a bit cooler anyways 😉

[@sauluribe7082]

If the car was a 1976 Cutlass base then it would be the sedan model than the coupe shown as a sample. 6000 almost corresponds with engine capacity which would really be 5700. Doesn't matter, You'll notice their police cruiser is a Taurus sedan.

[@CarStarz42]

It was a '77 Cutlass Supreme Sedan they used as the base as mentioned in the video. The coupe I showed in the clip when talking about the engine was just an example of what the front end of the car looked like before. Was the best clip I could find as the sedans seem to be far less common than the coupes 😉

[@clintonepps3666]

When you showed pictures of of the silver ford that was a australian xf falcon/fairmont which is based on the europe ford grenada
