To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype.

The thing is that today, the progress of AI has become an issue, with some AI responses to questions becoming angry & scary, thus people like Elon Musk have requested a slowdown, halt or delay in AI development at different companies. Sci-fi movies like Robocop & Terminator help that conscience. ED-209 might have been a simpler robot with simpler code in a fictional movie, but some people want something like that for real, which includes the military. There is no doubt they are already working on that, not at the first iteration, but probably 5th or 10th generation, classified. And ED-209 was clunky & heavy as hell. There will be weaponized robots like him in the real future, but some of them would look more like a SpotMini from Boston Dynamics. And they will become sentient at one point, we just don't know when, it could happen in a few decades (optimistic measurement) or it could be in a few centuries or millennia, assuming we keep development ongoing.

@Kingdom House actually, the brutality of Murphy’s death is very much essential! The director explained that because we as viewers don’t get much screentime with Murphy before he dies, they needed to create empathy for his character with a terrible death. The fact that we are still taking about it 40 years later, makes me think they succeeded! Everyone is cheering for Robocop’s journey of redemption because of this scene. It’s also a good indication why the remake failed, because that version of Alex Murphy is basically just a disabled man in a mechanical suit.

PRACTICAL EFFECTS BEFORE CGI That's my motto

[@dbsti3006]

It looks better to me. CGI, the object is not actually there. This was an actual model physically present in front people. Robocop was fighting something that was actually there. It adds to realism.

The lion(?) growl ED-209 makes when he gives his second warning at 1:38 makes perfect sense as a psychological weapon, triggering a primal fear in a human. Kind of like how the main weapon of a tank is the psychological fear it brings. Plus, that growl is really f***ing cool!

[@TheAdx1001]

That's the idea of the growl I do believe, an intimidation feature

[@Stoirelius]

It’s not a lion, it’s a tiger. Most “lion” growls in movies are from tigers. A real lion growl sounds awful.

I saw Robocop when it was released on VHS at age 7, it's one of the great memories of my childhood, no joke

[@sleeplessknight99]

What you do is you tell him not to watch it and that he'll get into big trouble if he does. Of course, now that it's taboo, he's going to want to watch it even more. And then when you catch him watching it behind your back, you feign anger and disappointment and give him a warning or some slap on the wrist non-punishment or something like that.

I'd say now is a good age for this film, You shop lift and this could happen. You can also get him to check out predator and say it's always looking out for bad people... Keep a red lazer pointer to hand and maybe shine through a window... "It's always watching so be a good boy" Don't want your kid playing near water, I'd reccomend Piranha.

There's a part of me that wishes Darren Aronofsky had been able to make his remake of Robocop, just to see what it would have looked like.. but you really can't properly remake this movie. It was just too special.🍺

if he remade it you would have had some existential bullshit corroding the story no doubt. I like his movies but he over-does everything.
