I don't know if anyone else has said it but Behind Murphys face is solid steel shooting his face would do nothing his brain is heavily protected in steel so shooting his face does nothing the directors did an interview awhile ago explaining that. Also good reaction and I love this movie my favorite childhood movie!

[@Rocket1377]

Yeah, his face has been destroyed in the comic books, and they simply replace it with artificial skin. Very little of Murphy's body is left, apart from his internal organs. Even Murphy's eyes are completely artificial. When the woman kissed his "eyes" during the New Year's party, she is actually kissing a screen that was temporarily connected to his optic nerves, as his robotic eyes hadn't yet been installed.

[@redrick8900]

[@nielsjensen4185]

There are a lot of elements in Robocop that can easily slip your attention. Robocop is basically the corporate, dystopian, hyper-capitalistic nightmare. Every ad is basically a representation of this. OCP cares as little about anything else than profits. Morton had Murphy transferred to the most dangerous district in Detroit before he got permission to continue, or even knew if he would. This is a sign of him carrying nothing about Murphy, Murphy is just a suitable person for his Robocop project. If he gets the go-ahead, good. If no, then Murphy is just a nobody who can die for all he cares. As Lord Farquaad says in Shrek, "some of you will die and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." There are so many players in this movie and you never really notice them all the first time you watch it.

"This is the values we want to teach?" *in reference to the "nuke'em" game* Actually, the movie was describing a dystopian future where society becomes like that. Back in the '80s it was a future society. Today, that is the world we live in now, very different from the more care-free '80s.

[@omeshsingh8091]

Stylistically Robocop is quite different to Terminator. Terminator is straight sci-fi time travel movie. Robocop is a dark satire of commercial interests. It is much more "extreme" in terms of content. Another satire by this director is "Starship Troopers" (I think it was from 1997).

None of the movies are satire films. _RoboCop_ is an action thriller in a SciFi backdrop. _Starship Troopers_ is an adaptation from Robert Heinlein's novel from 1959. The satire elements on both films are also dark humor which was standard in 80s/90s action thrillers. What you called satire elements in _Starship Troopers_ is actually direct content from Robert Heinlein's novel.

[@Capt.DanInJapan]

@ You really couldn't see the critiques of Reaganism and Corporate America in Robocop? It runs all the way through the film. Starship Troopers was vaguely based on the book (the book had Mecha and other alien races) and again, the satirisation of fascism and authoritarianism runs throughout the movie.

Your reactions are so genuine and sincere and I’ve cried along with you at some of the real emotional scenes in some of these movies. My favourite of all time is Highlander from 1986 staring Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert. It’s an action/thriller/love story based on a man who is immortal. Please please watch and react to this. PS none of the follow ups to the original were any good so don’t even bother with those. Yours sincerely, your new fan

Like Robocop, Highlander (big fan of both) also suffered from inferior sequels and probably shouldve stayed as a one off, as the story was resolved in the originals. They were intended as one offs & the sequels were clumsily bolted on.

[@TheRussian13]

I loved when Blue was confused that Murphy wasn't dead with a hole in his head. It's completely possible, if not rare, for people to survive head injuries. Even if they were shot in the head, it's still a real thing people can survive from. There was someone a long time ago tried shooting himself in the head with a Volcanic Arms lever action handgun and survived. Another man was shot in the head by his wife in his sleep, only to wake up later and complaining about a headache. Then you have Manfred Von Richthofen (pilot of the Red Baron) shot in the head by a .30 caliber most likely, and survived only to get shot down again months later. Lastly for the stories I can recall, you have Franz Stigler who was one of the main characters in the book A Higher Call. The book is the collective accounts of an American and German pilot from WWII when the German pilot save the American pilot and his crew. Franz Stigler was eventually shot in the head by a .50 caliber going through his canopy. Not only did he survive that head injury, but he survived the war and spent the next 50 years trying to find who the American was he saved. He wanted so desperately to know if he survived too, they eventually met each other in the 1990's and became friends. I know this was a long series of stories for a comment, but I just found these to be too interesting and not a lot of people know how resilient the human body can potentially be.

[@hermunkulus]

It’s understandable because it’s not that common. One of the survivors of the Columbine Massacre, Patrick Ireland, was shot in the head and survived. His motor skills are a bit weaker, but still functioning so it’s possible.

[@001Flange]

Not to mention surviving for 30 minutes as you're dying isn't the same thing as surviving.

Besides being a sci-fi action film, this is a satire of American society in the late 1980's. Other films by director Paul Verhoeven similar to this are Total Recall and Starship Troopers. This was released the same year as Predator, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Full Metal Jacket and The Running Man. This was followed by three sequels, an animated series, two live action shows, a reboot, comics, graphic novels and videogames

[@deadcatthinks6725]

Murphy fit the criteria for the RoboCop programme, which is why at the start OCP moves him to a more dangerous precinct and why backup was always delayed/unavailable. Lewis would have just been collateral damage.

"What if they hit his chin". His chin and face arent human. According to the writers and FX guys, the only parts of Murphy left are his brain and some of his digestive tract. The face was made of a cast of his face (aka a deathmask), so its rubber... over a metal / plastic / carbon fiber skull. It was made to look like Murphy so that, in the event he regained some memory, he wouldn't ho insane if he looked in the mirror and didnt have a face (see part 2 for examples). And as is stated in Robocop 2, the false face was made "to honor him".

[@tobimobiv1]

One fault in the rubber face theory. Why would they keep the hole from the head shot if it's just a replica of his skin? Doesn't make any sense. I believe it's his actual face, peeled of his skull and placed on a metal base.

[@darkhunter5409]

to answer your question as why the left his face is actually backed by real psychology. if you erase a person memory and they see their reflection and it dosent resemble being a human being it will cause them to have a psychological break and go insane questioning who and what they are. As for Robo, the only human parts left of him are really just his face put on a metal skull, his brain (which has some robotic chip implants to interface with the robotics and to program/controll him so not even his full brain and the most basic organs like lungs, heart (which i think is replaced with a robotic fake heart) and basic digestive system to supply nutrients and oxygen to his brain and keep that alive to drive the robotic body. so he is like 98% robot with Alex Murphy's consciousness put in it .

[@reesebn38]

The medical unit in the movie trying to save Murphy is a real trauma unit in the US. The Doctors told the director they get people shot up like that the time. They said of course they don't live, but as long as there is a heartbeat they have to try. I think Robocop 2 is awesome. Even darker, one of the bad-guys is a 12 year old. It was written by comic-book icon Frank Miller and directed by Irvin Kershner who directed The Empire Strikes Back. Paul Verhoeven made the first Robocop. He went on to make 2 more Science-fiction movies that are classics and a must see! Total Recall(1990) and Starship Troopers(1997) both are like Robocop very satirical and very violent. Starship Troopers is my favorite. The special effects in Starship Troopers are still amazing and hold up after 25 years.

Great reaction, Trixy. I remember asking my parents to record this on a VHS from the local TV station because it was on really late. And yes, they did record it for me. Watched it and absolutely loved it. Now, many would say that their parents would allow their kid within 100 m of a TV broadcasting a movie like this. Well, I have to say that not only did I love this movie from the get-go but my mother is also a huge fan of this movie. - A little fun fact for you, you know Dick Jones' secretary that Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) hits on and she simply replies "He's expecting you, Mr. Boddicker"? Well, that is Kurtwood Smith's real life then-partner now-wife. Also, Paul Verhoeven originally didn't want to make this movie at all and threw the script in the trash but his wife picked it up, read it, and convinced him to make this movie. Verhoeven went on to make Total Recall and Starship Troopers and these three movies are sort of seen a trilogy even though they really only share the director (some other people too* but mainly the director). So yes, glad to see that you liked the movie, it's really great. *: examples: Ronny Cox (Dick Jones) was in both RoboCop and Total Recall, and Michael Ironside who was in both TR and Starship Troopers.

FYI the movie takes place in a more corporatist dystopian future in Detroit. I don't know if you noticed, but the Police in the movie are actually a company not a government agency. Of course, Detroit is known as one of the most crime ridden cities in America. after a bunch of industries left, tons of people were left destitute. The movie hams this up to the extreme with how it portrays crime in the city and is a massive satirical critique of the corporations that hold heavy saw over the city and how they "give back to the community".

When production wrapped, they went back to Los Angeles and grimly informed the execs that Murphy's death had not been filmed. After a test screening they were given more money & time to shoot one. They dressed up a new warehouse to look the same & shot the EPIC scene.

I actually enjoyed Robocop 2 as well. But I would also recommend watching Starship Troopers before Robocop 2. Same director, lotsa visual...ness. Simple but effective storyline. Loaded with action.

Terminator, RoboCop and Blade Runner pretty much started the Cyberpunk genre together with the SF novels by William Gibson (Neuromancer & Johnny Mnemonic). They even inspired a lot of Manga & Anime, like Bubblegum Crisis and Ghost in the Shell, which later became full circe with The Matrix.

His armor offered a degree of protection and some people survive gunshot wounds to the head but he did die at 615.

"This is like the ambulances in Bulgaria - This is an emergency! Ok, we'll be there in half an hour." Luxury compared to the UK at the moment! Waiting for hours for an ambulance, followed by another wait *inside* the ambulance for up to 8 hours (sometimes more) waiting for a bed to become available in A&E.

A lot of Robocop’s one liners are lifted from British comic book character Judge Dredd and there are other Dredd influences through out the film. In fact the original design for Robocop was very Judge Dredd like

[@GilesHellier]

That's a really interesting point. - I loved the original Judge Dredd movie, but I know a lot of people didn't. It makes you wonder how well that movie could have done if it was a Robocop movie instead!

[@snorpenbass4196]

@@GilesHellier The first Judge Dredd movie sucked because it didn't adhere to the comics - the later movie, Dredd, is much closer to the comics but suffered other difficulties (including the guys making The Raid plagiarizing the script for their movie that got released faster due to less SFX).

[@Apjooz]

They made the design seen in the movie early on but wanted to use the Judge Dredd look but ended up using their original design.

[@GilesHellier]

@@snorpenbass4196 I enjoyed the first one like a big-budget B-movie (yes, I know that's a contradiciton) but couldn't be arsed with the second. The original was kind of made for action movie fans, as a posed to Dredd fans. So while I love it, I can totally empathise with why it was a letdown for some folks.

[@redrick8900]

Judge dread took those lines from westerns.

Clarence: ok...ya got me....I give up! RoboCop: "I'm not arresting you anymore" 😊😆🔥🔥❤️❤️🇨🇮🇺🇲

[@willgeary6086]

To answer your question about his face they kept it to still give him some sense of identity, which was still needed even though they wiped his memory.

[@jamin7474]

i like the "tastes like babyfood" part and he just digs in...

[@sef2.0lifegoeson62]

The sound effect of his walk & His gun enough to scare off the bad guys 80's.....Police Academy.....funny

[@Apvizionz]

One of my new favorite reaction videos of one of my all time favorite movies. Thank you! Loved your face when the melting guy gets hit by the car and explodes. The sequels definitely don't add anything of value to the story and never reach the same levels of bad-assness or emotional depth. They're not bad movies, just kinda there and pointless, but still a whole shit ton better than the reboot movie.

[@nimblehealer199]

Fun Fact, when you see Robocop driving, Peter is not wearing the bottom half of the suit, he's wearing shorts

[@shawnwacek6791]

This movie is my freaking childhood it is a phenomenal 🍿! also RoboCop 2 is really really interesting idea for a more diabolical villain idea in a different take on that idea ! it's my favorite out of the bunch and then part three is 50/50 I don't like it I like it you have to be in the mood for it type of movie !

[@Shnonan]

You might have noticed at times in the movie that there is a very subtle rainbow oxidation effect visible in the reflection of Robo's armor. Perhaps you are familiar with this oxidation effect which may be most commonly seen to exist on titanium exhuast header pipe in performance or racing applications. Plus, this kind of matches ya har.

[@reviewerinabathrobe]

I didn't know that that's interesting I didn't know they said they shined it up a lot but in the second one they switched out the costume for a more plastic one

[@oof6520]

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe his body armor is made of titanium alloy.

[@Shnonan]

@@reviewerinabathrobe yeah I don't know much but I remember hearing something about how the actual plot story suggested that the armor was titanium reinforced with Kevlar. I'm assuming that the costume itself was made out of various kinds of plastic and then painted to appear as it does in the film. If you take a look at the second film, specifically near the end of the action sequence with the Kane monster, Murphy's visor becomes scarred by electricity arcing. There was some excellent paintwork and finishing applied to that piece.

[@Krommer1000]

Very impressed by how many video's you've been putting out lately. A new banger every day lately.

[@thejamppa]

Verhoeven trilogy as some call it, is: Robocop, Total Recall and Starship troopers. Beneath all the gore, one liners they have excellent satire, social commentary and criticism facism / militarism / corporatism. Or you can just turn your brains off and enjoy some of the best action films done in that period.

[@UncleQue]

I’ve seen a few reactions for this one and it seems that some of the younger people didn’t realize that while the film was released in 1987 it’s supposed to take place in what was supposed to be the future.
