Peter Weller is a Texan who grew up going to shooting competitions. He helped put a real Western feeling to Robocop.

[@ilyas1054]

Nope , he was born in Wisconsin

[@IronMan3582]

He was born in Wisconsin but grew up in Texas, but yeah I remember him talking about that in an interview saying that Auto-9 was perfectly balanced so it was like trying to twirl half of a baseball bat. It very clearly didn’t stop him from being about to pull it off when he needed to

[@kfures3469]

Weller was born in Wisconsin

[@sanchezjames82]

It doesn't matter were you were born it matters were you call home This one's for the Lone star state ...........⭐️............

[@robwalsh9843]

Him being born in Wisconsin makes him a non-Texan? He grew up there and embraced the culture.

[@howlongisnow791]

"Role models can be very important to a boy". This is one of the most tragic lines in the movie, considering Peter Weller's fate only 10 minutes later.

[@AbsurdShark]

Why? Did Peter Weller got injured on set?

That Gun Twirl was the one piece of humanity that the drones from OCP were unable to erase.

[@BullockDS]

Which grew out and brought more of Murphy back.

[@ragejoona431]

The first one is clunky with him having hard time with the timing. The second time is done with perfect robotic percision, where it's so automatic that it no longer looks cool. The third one is the middle ground between the two, where we can see the move being calculated but still done with adrenaline and emotion. Murphy truly is back in control.

I think part of it is also that you see Murphy's face in the third scene. That alone makes him much less the machine

[@gabeslist]

"What are they going to do replace us?" is being said in the background as she notices Robocop spins his gun, signifying Murphy hasn't been replaced and is still, at least partially, in there. Really good movie.

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

@@TrenchMan93 A little hard to do it with the safety off too, since the trigger being pulled (without ammo I should add) throws off the spin.

[@Riley_Mundt]

You evidently didn't pay much attention. He reinserts the magazine and does it again before Lewis hands him his coffee.

[@Shwarz88]

It’s a p226, you aren’t gonna pull through that DA trigger while twirling it. Also, no safety on that particular p226 variant, as it is da/sa.

[@licmir3663]

This film is near perfect, with only two flaws: the ridiculous puppet that is thrown at the end from the building and the fact that Louis met Murphy and he was killed on the very first day. It would have made more sense if they had been partners for a little longer, at least enough for them to have a meaningful friendship.

[@nouveauprofil]

Agreed. And yet, the line... "Murphy... it's you"... is still one of the most powerful scenes in cinema history. I'm not sure how Paul V. pulled this off.

[@drfish4964]

I always kinda liked the fact that Louis had just met Murphy, it makes her more of an audience surrogate and differentiates the movie from a lot of other buddy cop movies imo

[@MarcillaSmith]

Look, let's just split the difference and to make her even more of an audience surrogate, we'll say that she's already known him, but not for too long, and mostly only through trailers.

[@mariusmacsouza3615]

When i was a kid and watched this movie i always thought lewis was in love with murphy.

[@koalabrownie]

The second one isn't a flaw. Murphy was just transferred, which means Lewis is the only one there who knows anything about him. She's his only link to the human world. If they were partners longer that would mean Murphy was in that precinct longer and more people would know and recognize him as Robocop. It would actually make her less important, not more.

[@q.h.s5051]

An absolutely brilliant film followed by a very fun sequel and over thirty six years later an amazing first person shooter. Long live Robocop… Murphy

[@Artisan1979]

0:34 that shows the quality of his character more so than anything else in this film. I like how they embraced payed this scene in the animated intro. And it makes him the more tragic when his memories of his family are ripped away from his mind.

[@Mr_T_Badger]

I was kind of disappointed Murphy never did the spin in Prime Directives and only did it and the iconic pose once in Rogue City.

[@Johnny_Serenity]

Peter Weller didn’t reprise his role in the 2001 Canadian 4-parter series, it starred Paige Fletcher as Murphy.

[@Mr_T_Badger]

@@Johnny_Serenity it was Paige Fletcher, yes. But he could have still done the spin, since it was important to Murphy’s character.

[@Johnny_Serenity]

@@Mr_T_Badger From what I’ve heard, Fletcher hasn’t seen the original and previous installments of the movies and didn’t bother to mimic Peter Weller’s mannerism, including the gun-twirl with his Auto-9.

I'm 41 and I stick with that as a father. I'm tired with all the bullshit to create characters "who kids could identify with". GTFO. Kids need inspirational/role models that they can "try" to be or achieve some day. This is one of the main reasons Marvel movies got success, because they showed kids inspirational roles.
