Robocop (1987) Movie REACTION!!! - Part 2 - (FIRST TIME WATCHING)

[@shainewhite2781]

7:27, in 1987, when he said Murphy, everyone in the audience cheered.

[@dianem8544]

I was 17 when this came out, I can't even imagine seeing this as a kid. The next year, my boyfriend went in the kitchen and stayed there the whole time it was on TV in the living room, it was so graphic at the time. And he was a mechanic who was 6'4" so I'm not surprised kid-you had nightmares.

[@peterp2153]

Robocop is one of those movies that sounds like it should be cheesy low budgets schlock on paper. Then you get to the Murphy death scene where they blow his hand off, then his arm, just the viciousness and callousness of it, and you realize this film is a step above (though even that scene could’ve been envisioned as more over the top, luke something out of an 80s Sam Raimi film. What makes the film a cut above is down to Verhoven’s vision and managing to execute the film perfectly, where the satire, over-the-top violence, and the meanness/seriousness/drama are perfectly balanced in all the places it could’ve gone one (wrong) way or another. And of course, Peter Seller’s performance, the costume design, and worldbuilding.

[@johnheale6000]

The movie was a huge satire on American culture at the time, the cooperations, the violent action movies, the commercials, the cars, the media. Also has Christ visuals peppered through the film, RoboCop got crowned at his birth (the party) and by the end he's walking on water. When big blockbusters were made by smart people.

[@tedbaker3846]

I Love It!

[@TheTomClyde]

it's not just a satire, the film shows the western capitalism as itself going to fascism with all that postmodernist mass media bullshit, Verhoeven added christian gnostic ideas that only robotic "messiah" can save this world

4:30 the actor Kurtwood Smith (Clarence) said in an interview once that during the scene where they are shooting up that part of town, the pyro team that blows up the store for the movie used a charge that was bigger than expected and it went off way closer than they thought it would. So a few days later they saw in there checks that he and the other guys were payed extra for "doing their own stunt" as a way to make it up to them for almost getting blown up during filming.

About RoboCop's face and "vulnerable mouth region", he doesn't have face or something, it's just Murphy's brain inside Terminator-like endoskeleton with face over it to "honor" his persona and keep it "human" in core. I hope you are planning 2 and 3, so you will see.

[@tyrongkojy]

The in universe reason is so when he sees his own face he doesn't freak out, like the prototypes in the second film.

[@mikejordan8259]

Yes, basically they filleted Murphy's face off and mounted it on the Robo-Skull.

[@jawbone78]

Alternatively, don't ruin this movie by watching the sequels. This one is perfectly self-contained and never needed a franchise built around it. The sequels are vastly inferior and add nothing of value.

[@J0rdan912]

@@jawbone78 This is "hardcore fans" problem with "ruined franchises". Open-minded people always watching sequels if they interested in more and they can accept them as it, without excessive expectations or biased view.

[@berniem.6965]

Robocop 2 is a decent sequel and definitely worth a watch. It doesn't have the deeper layer underneath like the first movie but it's a well made, enjoyable action movie. Everything that came afterwards should be ignored, it's just attempting to milk the franchise with terrible movies and a TV show targeted at kids (no more R-rated).

This movie is one of the reasons that many aspects of the 80s were so much fun. By the way, Robocop spelled backward is Pocobor.

Congratulations! After Total Recall, this was your 2nd Paul Verhoeven movie. Next stop: Starship Troopers (1997) and yes, you can stop the Robocop movies right here. Robocop 2 (1990) is kind of okayish...but the 3rd one (1993) and the remake (2014) should get sued for blasphemy :D

Robocop's ace. This was back when a director and his / her effects and production team kept pushing against physical barriers and had to take the time to break through. They couldn't go with the first thing and had to redesign, step back, mull over, try from multiple angles. Robocop's suit went through a lot of redesigns. The script had a lot of polishing. For all it's wonderful b-movie shlock what came out from it was pure gold. One of the issues I have with CGI is that you can achieve anything far too easily, and it doesn't necessarily look good. The crew of Robocop had to slave over everything to make it work, and in the extra time it took great ideas small and large were born. Also, it's hilarious.

[@ScreamqueenarmyBlogspot666]

There are 3 sequels to RoboCop and a TV series, Peter Weller & Nancy Allen are back in part 2

[@bronzewand]

Just wanted to know if you will be doing a react to Robocop 2. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

[@Rocket1377]

Enjoyable reaction, glad you liked the movie. Shooting Robocop in the mouth would not kill him, btw. Underneath the skin his skull is completely robotic, and heavily armoured. Some bad guys actually tried hitting this "weak point" in the comics, and OCP simply replaced Robocop's damaged face with artificial skin.

[@derworfnet]

If you are curious about the sequels, "Robocop 2" - while not as good as the first one - I can recommend. "Robocop 3" is best ignored, though.

“Why does it have pig noises?? Who designed that??” The films sound designer, and the director giving it the stamp of approval

Have you seen Die Hard (1988)? Not only the greatest action movie of the 80's but maybe the greatest action movie of all times. Another great action movie from the 80's with great car chase sequences is The Road Warrior, the 1981 second installement of the Mad Max franchise. And while we're on car chases, two other movies that have very impressive and exciting car stunts are Mad Max Fury Road from 2015, the 4th Mad Max installement, and Ronin, an action spy thriller from 1998. There are two lenghty car chase scenes who are among the very best ever.

[@Jbluez1]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think not watching the sequels is very wise. Lol

[@Bdakkon]

As a side note about shooting him in the face (or his face somehow being vulnerable) Crazy thing is that is not true. They basically skinned his face and put it over the machine. The idea was if he didn't have a face (his own) to look at it would cause him to have an even worse psychological breakdown. But under his face its basically completely bullet proof. You'll destroy the skin on top but literally do zero long term harm to him. Robocop is insanely durable. Short of literal anti-tank armor piercing weaponry he will basically shrug it off. (An even then it might only dent him)
