Frank Miller's Robocop Explored - One Of The Most Brutal, Wild, Ruthless And Darkest Robocop Story!

Robocop is such a masterpiece , stellar cast , great crew , superb tech support , excellent writing , Verhoeven the GOAT

The comic they're talking about based on Millers original script is even better, check it out!

[@angelcanez4426]

Verhoeven really is one of the greatest.

[@kennethmarkwith4678]

I've always thought that Verhoeven doesn't get nearly as much praise for his work as he deserves

[@V3ntilator]

@@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. Verhoeven got a lot of praise in 1970's, and so much that even Steven Spielberg and also Disney wanted to do movies with him 40 years ago.

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

Verhoeven the GOAT?

[@Diggy22]

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.

[@avice10535]

Frank Miller’s vision of Robocop is legit badass!

[@PrimordialBeing360]

I’d love to see a live action series based around his adaptation.

[@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.

[@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.

[@GamerGoneMad]

also in 1st Robocop there is a scene where he has optical camera installed so his eyes are just camera attached with the optical nerve@@sushicakez

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!

this is why Miller didnt work in Hollywood again after the robocop films until Robert Rodriguez save him!

[@Israfel36]

They wouldn't have been able to. Even if they filmed it all in its entirety it would've been rated NC-17 and never would've gotten far in the box office. It would've been amazing, just not really doable.

[@joeblankenship377]

I bet Robocop is a pain to draw over and over for a comic. All those lines and reflections.

[@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.

[@Jtrooperprime]

Lewis never bothered to get a change of clothes just slowly went from fully armored to essentially in her underwear

[@kanuh]

a good touch

[@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.

Not surprised Orion passed on this. I do like what ideas made their way into the final film but must say I prefer Cain as a villain over Kong or Dr Love. The version we got of Dr Love, while not perhaps as developed as Miller's, is a decent substitute and OCP engineering the narrative through fake footage is an interesting peak into the "fake news" era to come later.

[@jasonsmith530]

Hope rouge city introduces new fans to this old series

[@AlterRaigo]

I actually like this one a lot. But at the time I don't think Orion pictures would have the budget to bring all this up to production. I do love the fact the movie kept the Psychiatrist, I think she is pivotal to Murphy's struggles with emotions and how those affect him as a the new individual he is now.

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.
