RoboCop 1987 - birth & reveal scene clip [longer version]- HD 720p Original 80s version

[@gorillone86]

The fact that he could hear and see everything, but even more, the fact that he could probably REMEMBER everything despite them saying they would wipe his memory, is even sadder.

[@Ntwadumela89]

Just goes to show can’t wipe a human brain completely

[@kishascape]

Experiencing the void then the confusion and panic and pain of this surreal ordeal like some sort of cursed after life thinking you died and experiencing surroundings through a remote detached robot interface and camera eyes to the brain.

[@JaybayJay]

He didn't remember everything though. He remembered his attack, but he could only remember bits and fragments from his life. When the kid from 2 shot him in the head he had some memories of his son playing baseball but nothing about them would ever stick. I think that's why he let his wife move on.

[@Fbiguy]

@@JaybayJay In the opening of this video after Murphy has died and OCP is rebuilding him as Robocop pay attention to the segment where they talk about saving or keeping his left arm. Morton asks if Murphy/Robocop can understand them and one of the other people there tells him "it doesn't matter we're going to blank his memory anyway". So potentially at this stage, Murphy is still in there, having just experienced death and resurrection by cybernetics, and is listening to the docs discussing erasing his memory and replacing more of his body than they need to.

[@JaybayJay]

2:56 The first reveal of RoboCop to the audience via the monitor was a sheer stroke of genius.

[@BloodHoundPL]

This scene suggests that Murphy has some sense of continuity of his existence. The POV goes from the moment of his death through absolute darkness to being a cyborg like no time has ever passed between these events. I like how Murphy probably registered the TV but had no idea it was him on the screen, so he didn't even have a reflex of looking at it, being totally unaware of the change he underwent, deep down still thinking he's a human. This scene is genius indeed.

The spinning of the gun and how he casually catches the keys and nonchalantly says "thank you" just shows that despite becoming 99% robot and being reprogrammed, it's still Murphy inside that machine.

[@smartalec2001]

Compare Jones’s attitude to ED-209. “Who cares if it worked or not?!” And yet Morton and his people, while not being so soulless and corporate, are indulging in some genuinely unethical mad science.

[@ProtomanButCallMeBlues]

@JRPGFan20000 The DVD commentary explains that better. Originally Morton was supposed to be more evil, but they made it gradual and he became "the villain that never got his chance to be evil". The Robocop project wasn't for protecting or helping others. The Robocop project was the catalyst for his ego, and he projected his pride on it's success, even though we (the audience) know that Robocop only worked because it was Murphy.

I don’t think they wiped that much of his memory really. Definitely not as much as they wanted to anyway. Case in point...Robo still says the same phrases, peels out in the car and twirls his gun. He also remembers being gunned down by Clarence & his gang. So there’s quite a bit of Murphy still there.

The film was supposed to slowly humanize him. Starts off with the team assembling his helmet and voice. Then loses an eye piece exposing his eye.

I've never noticed this until just now but if you watch the last target Robocop shoots, he shoots it in the same way (bascially) as he died. Right arm off first, followed by the chest and left arm, then to the right side of the targets head. In the end there is no body except the damaged head. Probably a coincidence but with PV who knows.

[@Palmroxx]

Not accidental. He also does Murphy's gun twirl and the same driving mistake (the suspension/spark -thing) in the parking area as Murphy did moments later. They were all hints that his psyche was still there in the machine. The movie has a trillion clever hidden layers and symbolism that I personally still discover all the time. Like the broken coffee mug with the "World Class Husband" in the scene where he visits his old home.

Though I was 13 when I watched it for the first time and had to cover my eyes at his death scene to be fair, and only actually watched a clip of his death just now about 13 years later. Years of being in the medical field make a lot of film gore look super fake to you, I guess, 😛 So yeah, I’d say it’s completely intentional, especially when you take his other quirks into account that hint at Murphy still being in there.

[@DemonBoy3223]

This sequence is amazingly great, perfectly shows Murphy's death and "rebirth", but also, I'd say that it does the "show don't tell" manner very well, you are given the details through Murphy's POV as he's being reconstructed into Robocop, such as when they say "lost the left arm" or when they show off the robotic arm. Perfect way of letting the audience take in what is happening on-screen. And great hint in catching the very first glimpse of Robocop on the TV as he's walking by. But also, it must have to be a very frightening thing to go through; you die, and then you "wake back up" and find yourself being rebuilt into a machine in a sort-of Frankenstein way.

[@AnthonyNiroshan]

No other Robocop movie cant beat this film!!! Plus it was an honor to meet and greet Peter Weller last year!!! Go Robo!!!

[@TheMavericktheone]

but Paul Verhoeven did this with his heart and based on christ!!!

[@Tweekend27]

Verhoeven wanted to make that blackout between the medics pronouncing Murphy dead and Robocop's initial bootup go for about a full minute or two, to really emphasize the slow transition from Murphy's death and rebirth but felt that audiences might not appreciate such a long silence. Watching it now, it does feel a little quick, that crossover. Would've been nice to see it Verhoeven's way or with a cursor that started blinking in the corner for like 30 seconds before Robo comes online.

[@YeetTheSlavs]

Its like darth vader

[@gordondavis6168]

I saw this movie theatrically, and in the theater the few seconds of blackness and silence felt like forever, especially since the scene right before was noisy and frantic.

[@MeepMayCry]

I think a little less than a minute would be better. If it was more than that, the audience might take away from the situation, they'll wonder what happened to the movie instead.

[@peterp2153]

Lorena, not much. They did about all they could do which was to pump some oxygen into his lungs, give him a shot of adrenaline to try and restart his heart and then hit him with the paddles. Murphy was basically torn to pieces.

[@chrisjohnston4445]

When I was a kid, I was sent to bed one night while my parents' dinner party was still going on, with all the lights on and people laughing and carousing... Then, what seemed like an instant later, I woke up to go to the bathroom, and when I walked into the dark, silent hallway, I started screaming, "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!" So, the intervals between Murphy's boot-ups seemed of perfect duration to me.

TheAndrewlolz he is what a robot would probably move and feel like. Heavy like a tank. Thats one thing guilermo got with pacific rim. Watch the sequel and you will understand.

[@Sc0rp83]

sadly, armor plating on that tank got really bad in second part of the movie. I mean, at the parking lot scene he got penetrated by a freaking 9 mm pistol rounds while in the very first duty scene (the shoplifter) he took entire SMG clip into his chestplate without even getting a scratch. unless it's another layer of clues and hints (more man - less machine) or smth like that.

[@seanerboner630]

2014 needs updates like an iphone. The 80's Robocop is running like an auld army tank.

[@billlupin8345]

Most of the damage to the armor is done by ED209. If you watch the parking garage scene again, he looks tore up when he walks out, before they start shooting. Their guns just push him back a bit, and he has to keep his mouth covered, since it's the one spot they didn't armor.

Films today don't have the magical touch of the 80's! As a child of six years old watching this, I always loved the bit from 7:32 onwards, it was just so perfect! The way the music picks up tempo when the lights of the car go on, Robocop puts it in to drive and spins the wheels! The roar of the car's V8, mixing perfectly with the music as the car shoots off up the exit ramp. The music, which again shifts tempo when the scene shifts to an outside shot of the precinct! Robocop is in town!!! Just brilliant :D

This build and reveal is how it's supposed to be done. The brilliance is how he is revealed piece by piece - you never get a full head-on shot until much later. Look at how you get a brief snippet of him on that TV screen at 2:57. The metallic clank and humming as he plods forth like something out of Frankenstein at 3:44 while the cops look on astounded is as surreal as it is exciting. It's details like these which make the movie. Absolutely unforgettable introduction, gives me chills each time, and they didn't need massive explosions, bombastic music, or slow motion to accomplish it.

Actually computers back then could boot instantly, if they booted from ROM like Commodore 64 did. Even input latency was lower back then.
