After all of this, I can see why Orion Pictures went the route that they did. It would have cost a fortune to get all of that on the big screen, and Orion was a struggling film company at the time. It is interesting how many of Frank Miller’s ideas eventually did make their way into RoboCop 2 and 3.

[@eddiejoewalt7746]

Orion Picture was like the Lionsgate of the 80s-early 90s plus after Bill and ted they had several flops including their owned Film version of Dangerous Liasions which cost $30 millions and only made 1/5 of the budget! Orion would need T2 money

[@varanid9]

There's nothing about this story that would have cost more to film than what ended up on screen.

[@eddiejoewalt7746]

@@varanid9 that why it need T2 money as in Terminator 2 (which was released a year later in 1991) budget of $90-100 million! robocop 2 was 1/2 of T2!

[@chadwik4000]

@@varanid9 yeah, I thought it was due to some of the graphic nature of some of the stuff. A good example of something like this would be to read A Clockwork Orange, preferably the one with the Final Chapter intact (as the American printing had the last chapter removed as to more closely match the movie) then watch the film. There's stuff in the book that they could never have put in a feature film back then without having it rated x. Example, the two girls Alex invites back to hear angel trumpets and devil trombones with, in the book, we're both about 9 years old and he gets them drunk, injects some kind of sexual enhancement drug maybe speed in a vein in his hand, then proceeds to brutally raped both the girls before kicking them out. In the movie everything was consensual and the two girls we're both Alex's same age.

[@kevinsanchez4415]

And a couple of things that were most heavily criticized in parts 2 and 3 -- the gun arm and flight pack --- were Miller ideas. Miller meant for Robo to be a modular chassis that could be outfitted to suit different task profiles, which makes too much sense but fans didn't like too much.

Verhoeven's movie was brilliantly satirizing Reaganomics. Frank Miller has just been regurgitating Reaganomics for decades.

[@danielramsey6141]

Damn Straight! Some ideas from Frank are alright and actually did the Movies a service with The Satire in relation to that material, that’s what I can tell! But in all honesty, the Majority of these comics fell Downright Hostile and Edgy! It’s the type of Edge that angry teenager throws out! From Robocop getting Injures from a Bloody Neck wound. To a Basically Roided out Psycho like Kong going toe to toe with Robo! And Boy does Frank Love his Exploitation of Women! From Rapists, Prostitutes, to Child Predators! (Doctor Love is a Prime Example!) Doctor Love is a manipulative Villainess, but honestly I feel like this comic was taking her Role to a Whole Other Extreme! RoboCop 2 didn’t Ruin Frank’s Script, honestly he only got mad at Films because his Vision wasn’t in-line with Film Staff! The only time the Violence in RoboCop 2 got to much was during the torture Scene of Officer Duffy!

[@johnnycash5858]

Actually if you look at her uniform after the confrontation with Kong you can see where she’s sewn it back together before going to see her sergeant. Funding cutbacks plus the cop strike meant she didn’t have a backup uniform and just kept repairing what she had.

[@chadwik4000]

I loved the Robocop series written by Miller that was put out by AVATAR! SO GOOD! We even see stuff that has recently come to pass in the real world as well (a new Night of the Long Knives, getting rid of the old guard police in favor of a more corrupt version). The art was pretty good too, although it bit on Darrows' style a bit much.

Cops being in robocops shoes by losing their firearms making their duty and ability to fight crime and protecting inoocents harder, all the while being reduced to public relations. Cops are re-educated to adher to politically correct directive, arresting anyone for bad words (wrong think) which had loopholes of harming innocents while, letting go of criminals who didn't say them.

Honestly I think a lot of elements from the (granted not STELLAR) mini series Robocop Prime Directive and Dark Justice would make for a good Robocop sequel. Having RoboCable be more of a mirror image to Robocop then Caine's Robocop 2 I think would have worked a bit better thematically.

My headache with Robocop 2, is that who would want to watch Robocop be captured and dismantled with sledgehammers. Made no sense. Just extremely violent and uncomfortable. Not to mention a young boy as one of the main villains. So may be the comic book would've of made a better sequel. My wish for the Robocop Franchise instead of yet another reboot. Is that someone would resurrect The Terminator vs Robocop concept which was popular in the 90's and make the movie adaptation. Get Peter weller and Arnold schwarzenegger on board for one last hurrah. Which would restore Robocop to its 8O's glory. 👍 to marvelous videos for a fascinating insight ❤😊

@@kennethmarkwith4678 It's because his movies is misunderstood on release and is praised years later when they figure out his movies. Robocop, Starship Troopers etc. were low rated for a long time. Hollow Man and Showgirls is still low rated, because no one ever understood those movies. People should watch all his Dutch movies to learn about Verhoeven.

[@BlackNeverLeft]

Robocops mouth isnt the only vunerable part of him...his mouth isnt like Batmans...its not a human skull under the visor..Alex Murphys face is stretched over a robot face to make him appear more human to people,people forget theres very little of a human inside the cyborg,his vunerable bits are his human brain and wherever his processors are which could be placed in his chest or back or anywhere so finding a vunerable spot would require a deep knowledge of Robocops systems.

[@robbylebotha]

I don't know which Robocop you watched but it's Alex's head and brain, they augmented his brain with computer bits. It's not human skin stretched over a robot skull. They literally show his head in all the movies. He has a natural head, hand, spinal cord, lungs. He gets IV fed a black goo concoction to keep these human parts alive. Maybe you are referring to the cartoons/comics. I dunno. But in the movies, you are wrong. His head is a human head, with human eyes, that's why he needs the helmet to have a HUD.

[@robbylebotha]

He still has lungs because his brain need oxygen to survive. He run on both CPU and brain. That's what makes him Robocop and not just a robot. So no, he's literally not just all robot

[@sushicakez]

​​@@robbylebothaI dont know what version you watched either, but you're wrong on everything you just said. His face is stretched on a robot head. The only parts that are human still are his lungs and brain and rudementary digestive system to give nutrients to his organic parts. He doesnt get IV fed with black goo, theres litterally a scene where they show what he eats and that it tastes like baby food. And also the scene in Robocop 2 where his wife visits him and she touches his face and says its cold then telling her Alex Murphy is dead. If you watched the first movie you know theres a scene where they mention they saved the left arm, but have it removed because they agreed to full body prosthesis. He also doesnt need the helmet to have a HUD, theres a scene in the first movie where Anne is helping him adjust his aim and you can see he has a the targeting HUD with his helmet off.

[@Chrisbruceharrison]

@@robbylebothasounds like you might be thinking about the 2014 film where this is true. But it certainly isn’t true in the original. It’s slightly vague in terms of the skin over the metallic face, but it is canon.
