*ROBOCOP* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@jenmurrayxo]

What's ur fav Verhoeven sci-fi? STARSHIP TROOPERS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnqUYnShpcR5eMU TOTAL RECALL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn2Tk6CobrN_iM0

[@kieronball8962]

My favourite Verhoeven sci-fi has to be Total Recall, because even after all of these years and multiple viewings, you still don't know if the story is just the spy package holiday or if it's real?! :)

[@coolhive2941]

Starship is my favorite of his sci fi. Don’t miss Basic Instinct, a great Hitchcockian thriller.

Love Robocop so much but Total Recall to me is peak Verhoeven. PS: hope you're feeling better, Jen.

Awesome movie

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"He recognized him! From this [his jaw]!" To be fair, RoboCop also just said the exact same thing Murphy did when he was arresting those guys: "Dead or alive, you're coming with me." That was probably pretty memorable.

Hey Jen, It's always funny to see people spot Clarence Boddiker, and say, "Hey is that Red Foreman", when those of us who grew up with this film saw Red Foreman and say, "Holy shit, is that Clarence from Robocop!" Such a great film, and it so represents the 80s,

[@Madbandit77]

Wilmer Vanderama, who played Fez, on "That 70s Show" was a big fan of "Robocop", he saw it a lot at his local theater. When he met Kurtwood Smith (Red & Clarence), he was in awe of the man.

[@mgordon1100]

Or, you're like me and didn't grow up on either. I was 20 years old when Robocop came out. It wasnt until 11 years later when That 70's Show aired so Red was not recognized. That is, until I watched Robocop again in something like 2001, then it was "Hey, that's Red Foreman!"

[@InfraMajin]

The first few times I saw the film (late 1980s/early 1990s), I'd see Clarence and say, "Hey, it's badass Les Nessman!" (from 'WKRP in Cincinnati'), not realizing that it was a different actor.

[@DavidB-2268]

Emil didn't recognize Murphy from his face. What he recognized was, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me."

[@jprq]

This one is my fave of the 3. I’m really moved when Murphy says his name at the end, reclaiming his identity… that’s the real story and it concludes so beautifully. It blew our minds when it came out… and Verhoeven’s style became instantly identifiable. A true classic!

[@OpenMawProductions]

I do enjoy the sequel, but we really didn't need anymore Robocop movies after this first one.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

The other thing about him saying his name at the end is his voice is fully human again, compared to when he first talks as Robocop and he sounds robotic. It’s a clever little touch that shows him regaining as much of his humanity as possible.

[@krisfrederick5001]

One of your favorites?

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Yup that's Kurtwood Smith (Clarence Boddicker) who was awesome as Red in That 70's Show. Going from a ruthless villain to a hilarious dad is pretty badass. Nice of you to cover this one. Its real gem and the theme song is legendary.

[@Video_Crow]

fun bit of trivia - Kurtwood Smith met his wife on this movie, she plays the secretary at OCP.

The big thing I notice and LOVE about Jen and how she does her videos is this - there’s no fluff! She gets right into the movie, reacts.

[@kathyastrom1315]

Miguel Ferrer, who was Bob Morton, is a great character actor. My favorite performance of his was in the first miniseries adaptation of King’s The Stand, where he played Flagg’s lead henchman Lloyd. BTW, he’s George Clooney’s first cousin-his mom was Rosemary Clooney, and his dad was Mel Ferrer.

[@Yngvarfo]

He also voiced the main bad guy in Disney's Mulan (the animated one)

[@matthewganong1730]

His best performance is in a completely under-the-radar Stephen King adaptation called The Night Flier. Very hard to find these days, but maybe the only film where he plays the lead.

[@Dystopia1111]

He was also pretty hilarious in Hot Shots : Part Deux.

[@FunBobbyNI]

'Not a warm hugger' cracked me up. 😂

[@edfrancis66]

"I can feel them, but I can't remember them." For me, this is the story of Murphy reclaiming his humanity after losing his life. That smile at the end when he said his name :) Peter Weller did an amazing job with the balance between robotic coldness and emerging humanity. He's also in Robocop 2, which is a decent movie, but left after that. I did see RC3 when it came out -- don't remember that much of it, except that it was BAD

[@Bfdidc]

Also a reason for why his helmet stays off in the last acts. He wants to rediscover his humanity. Personally I consider Robocop 2 a big step down from the original. I recall it was partially written by Frank Miller, who was a favorite comic artist/writer of mine at the time, but he was one of three writers (which may have been the problem). It wasn't bad but the sequel didn't have the coherence that the first one did.

[@williamsvargas4081]

Yea, also consider Robocop uses his human eye to avoid getting shot by ED209. His human side literally saves him

[@Enthymene]

RoboCop 3 is a richer text than it appears. It touches on the displacement of the urban poor, authoritarian policing, and, in keeping with eighties fears, anxiety about Japanese industrial capacity. RoboCop 2, like Matrix 4 and Gremlins 2, is both a sequel and a protest. All three are about how Doing This Again Was A Bad Idea, but on multiple levels. If you look at it that way, it’s actually pretty fun.

[@ScreamingScallop]

The OCP suit who likes the "baby food" is played by Felton Perry, who you saw as a firefighter in _The Towering Inferno._ He also played one of Dirty Harry's unfortunate partners, and never got enough recognition.

Something anecdotal Jen. The actor who played Robocop (Peter Weller) went on in real life to get a PHD in Renaissance Architecture.

Your reactions are so much fun, and you're one of the few movie watching channels that don't scrub the punchlines on movie scenes before showing your reactions! I LOVE that about your videos so far! You'll show the setup, the punchline AND your reaction and I am so thankful for that. So many of these channels will show the scene setup, but skip the punchline and cut right to their reaction. So frustrating. At any rate, thank you for providing some entertaining watch/reactions! Can't wait to see more! =)

I love the news, adverts and the TV in this movie .They could have left them out and saved money, but the fact they are there does help build the world.

[@hackerx7329]

The live action series they made also had a bunch of those timed to make it hard to tell for a few seconds rather you were watching a normal commercial or an in show commercial and then the commercial would just go off the rails with some over the top bonkers product. It really helped keep the feel of the Robocop universe even though they obviously had to tone down the gore and such for normal TV.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

People remembering the wild ads seemed to push commercials in the Robocop direction. Just compare how tame US commercials used to be. Decades after trying to be extreme you'd see even more wilder stuff around the world, but maybe everyone else was already like that. The ones that became real. Defcon: Everyone Dies, like Nuke 'Em in this. Robo2 ad for sunscreen, making fun of earth having no ozone anymore, people looked like blue avatar aliens to sunbathe. There was something just like that. Turned kids into smurfs. Blue sunscreen color for fun but I forget when it was sold only that it made me remember robocop.

[@juliangrant9718]

@@hackerx7329 the script was redrafted in 86. Verhoeven left the script in trash for a year. He didn't like the script. He had a few changes made, but not many. The cynical aesthetic of the delivery of the lines wasn't present in the original script. Telecasts wasn't something that was apart of the original script, either. Those were changes made by Verhoeven. He redrafts in 86 right when TDKR comes out. That's not the only thing he took from the comic. Robocop IS Batman. He took the metal Batsuit and fused it with the visor from the Mutants gang. Detroit pretty much feels like Gotham. And what do you know, they get Frank fricken Miller to direct the sequel. Why would they get a comic book writer with no experience in film to direct the sequel to Robocop? They were throwing him a bone, that's why.

[@SeenGod]

you did great on this one! left in all the iconic lines “can you fly Bobby?” “dead or alive, you’re coming with me” 😂👍

[@shainewhite2781]

YES!! GO ROBO!! Before Peter Weller was cast as the title character, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Armand Assante, Michael Ironside, Rutger Hauer, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Berenger were considered for the role. Weller was cast as he had a slimmer frame to fit the suit, as Schwarzenegger was worried that he might look bulky. Stephanie Zimabalist was considered to play the role of Anne Lewis until Nancy Allen was picked. Weller lost 3 lbs a day from wearing the suit and couldn't eat any solid food except for Ice cream, oatmeal and yogurt. He had to drink a protein shake during his lunch break. It was 110 degrees in Dallas Texas where they were filming, so the VFX team had an AC Unit inside the suit to prevent him from passing out. The Stop motion animation effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippett whom did VFX work for the Star Wars Trilogy, Dragonslayer, RoboCop 2 and 3, JURASSIC PARK, and Starship Troopers. His company, Tippett Studio also did VFX work on The Twilight Saga, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Cloverfield. The film was a box office success, making $60 million dollars against a $13 million dollar budget.

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

This movie has a special place. I grew up just south of Dallas. That's where this was filmed. We actually received a door hanger and knock letting us know about blowing up the gas station. City hall is angled like that. They just added the stories above the angle. If I remember correctly, the scene in front of the shops was in a place that is now regentrified as The Cedar. Lots of nostalgia.

[@joeblankenship377]

A classic! It's weird that I remember watching this a lot as a kid. One that my dad bootlegged with the 2 VCR method. That was the coolest thing about VHS in that era. You just hook up a 2nd VCR and record your own copy. Change the speed and fit 3 movies on 1 tape!

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Jen there is some deep scientific research going on in Robocop. Peter Weller (Murphy) said the concept behind Murphy's face being just "pasted" onto Robocop's metal skull was based on psychological research that said a person would eventually go insane if they didn't have a human face to reflect back at them.

The idea of needing a reflected human face couldn't be true, since humans survived for thousands of years before inventing mirrors, and presumably we weren't insane that whole time.

[@lethaldose2000]

@ColinFox except for the fact we had other humans to look at. That only became an issue when we started we made art replications of ourselves And they failed to look life-like. And thus the a need to study the anatomical dimensions of humans.

Robocop's pistol is a Berretta M93 R (Raffica) with a custom muzzle attachment. They were originally going to use a Desert Eagle, that's the shiny pistol that was handed to the guy at the ED-209 demonstration, but it looked small when being handled by Robocop. So they Randy Moore designed the Muzzle device for the Berretta, and the Burst Fire option obviously suited the Robocop character better than a semi-auto. The gun used in Robocop's first encounter at the robbery, is a British Sterling SMG from WWII. If you've seen the original Star Wars films, then you have seen one before, because it's the E-11 Blaster that the Stormtroopers use... :)

The gun the robber was armed with at the convivence store was a British made Sterling Mark 6 Semi-automatic Carbine. It's a civilian version the Sterling Sub-Machinegun. It was fitted with a longer 16" barrel to make it harder to conceal (even though the robber was able to counter this by hiding it under his trench coat) and couldn't fire in full auto as most Sub-Machineguns do. The Sterling gun itself was based off of the earlier and similar looking Sten Sub-Machinegun it was to replace.

A lot of people don't know this, but in the MAYOR scene when Robocop pulls up, the news reporter that says "Terrorism has never been a factor..." is Bill Farmer, who later and still is the voice of Goofy. If you listen to him talk, you can here Goofy in his voice. He said he spent all day memorizing all his lines for Robocop, but they only used a small bit of him, so he was kinda mad.

Another 80's sci-fi classic, which just happens to fit into your "what does it mean to be human/alive" quest, is Starman (1984). It was directed by John Carpenter (The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, etc) and stars Jeff Bridges in one of his most iconic roles and Karen Allen of Indiana Jones fame. It's a wonderful and unique cross country exploration of the human condition.

One of my all time favorite movies, first saw this at 5 years old when it first came out on VHS… only because my dad rented it from the video store mistaking the title and video cover for a superhero movie. Not only did the movie blow my young mind away but it made me an instant Verhoeven fan ever since, growing up with Total Recall and Basic Instinct. This looks like the R-rated theatrical version, you should see the unrated version (originally got an X-rating that had to be resubmitted to the MPAA 8 times with seconds cut because of the violence, before it could secure its R rating for theatrical release). One of the funnest pieces of trivia is that when Verhoeven first read the script that was sent to him, he got only 2 pages into the script before tossing it in the trash, not taking it seriously like every other potential director that read the script. However Verhoeven’s wife just happened to find the script in the trash, read it with astonishment and encouraged her husband to read it again with looking deeper into the context - that’s when he really got interested and said yes to directed the movie.

You made me laugh out loud when you said “Is THAT the dad from that 70’s show?!?!” I love how you are falling into the script like you are living in the moment! “Right in the Junk!” I haven’t read through the comments, but the first robot you see is done in the fashion of stop-motion animation in the style of Ray Harryhausin. Robocop has a few sequels and a reboot and a cartoon. Ex_Machina would be another good AI flick, the author or the first three laws of robotics is of course, Isaac Asimov; so anything that is mentioned as being associated to him is a gold star!

I think the nerd guy managed to escape the explosion. If not, then what fire does is turn nerds into delicious little sour candies with odd shapes. I bet most people didn't know that. 😉

19:39 You cut out Clarence's iconic "Bitches leave" line, but there's a funny behind the scenes story. Because Paul Verhoeven is Ditch and his director of photography for that scene, Jost Vocano, is German, they didn't realize how offensive the term "bitch" is in English, so they kept addressing and referring to the two actresses as "the bitches" while they directed thscene.

[@MadScheib]

A true classic. Great choice, Jen. What nobody hasn't mentioned is the genius behind the make-up: Rob Bottin! Man is a true legend. He's also responsible for the sfx in Carpenter's THE THING.

[@zmarko]

Basic Instinct is a must see also. It'll be tough to get a YT edit as it's very risqué with adult content (nudity & violence). But it's an awesome thriller/mystery/crime drama, and definitely worth checking out.

[@gettygermany]

Hahahahaha, that you did the foreshadowing with announcing his "death" some minutes before it happened :D

[@ForEternia]

Hi Jen. This movie never gets old. "ROBO REVENGE ", classic 😂 Great reaction video. BTW the character named Emil recognized Robocop from his comeback line "Dead or alive your coming with me ". Murphy said the same line to him earlier in the movie. Thanks again Jen! Keep up the awesome work and adorable quips 😊

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Ricardo 🤖👍

[@waterbeauty85]

17:13 Emil recognized Murphy because Murphy said "Dead or alive you're coming with me" when he tried to arrest Emil the first time they met.

[@RobJMore]

"The Last Starfighter" is a good sci-fi movie from the 80's. It has some dated but charming early cgi effects. And if you like practical effects you should check out the movie "F/X", from 1986.

[@AL13NM]

This Classic made growing up in the 80's so much fun! It was even turned into a saturday morning Cartoon! The amazing film score is by Basil Poledouris, who also scored the incredible Original CONAN The Barbarian, a Must Watch 80's classic! Can not recommend it enough just for the music alone!

[@kieronball8962]

Jen, great reactions to the original Robocop movie! In my opinion, the sequels aren't as good, but it would still be fun to watch your reactions to them.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Jen, When Clarence gets arrested, he suggested to the director, Verhoven. How about I spit blood and say "Just give me my f-ing phone call". Verhoven smiled and said Yes! This is sick! I Like it!". --------- For sure Director Verhoeven loved to make the action as over the top as possible, just like in Total Recall.

[@dan_hitchman007]

The brutal satire of the excesses of the Ronald Reagan Era makes this film all the more awesome. Director Paul Verhoeven had a savage wit about him. So glad you got this classic checked off your list, Jen.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

9:36 Mark! By the way, one of William Shatner's "ABC" television series was "TJ Hooker" in which he was a police sargent in Los Angeles! 😎

[@eddiejravannen]

I think all these violent movies are rubbing off on our sweet innocent Jen😂. If you pay attention, you can hear his voice become less robotic through the progression of the movie. P.s. that suit took ten hours to get into. There's a movie out there that's 100% first person pov. It's super violent, and called "Hardcore Henry". Definitely worth watching.

[@twinshark429]

12:08 The gun with the "Thing on the side" is also the gun used in Star Wars for the stormtroopers blaster rifles. They just cut down the barrel and magazine from an old British Sterling Mark 4 L2A3 sub machine gun.

[@musicstar693]

Jen Murray did u know that actor Peter Weller who played Murphy/ Robocop was literally losing water in his body and became so dehydrated because that robot suit was real armor not a plastic suit but heavy armor and extremely difficult to walk around everywhere in ?? It says it in the special features of the 20th anniversary DVD

[@dextercool]

17:08 The robber recognised that Robocop used the same line as Murphy: 'Dead or alive, you're coming with me!' Good you got around to this one ;)

[@MrGpschmidt]

Iconic '80s sci-fi/action at its very best. Peter Weller kicks so much ass in this film as Murphy/Robo (you need to check him out also in ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI) - and he did the first sequel - the 3rd has Robert John Burke and there was a recent remake co-starring Michael Keaton (all 3 rather meh). The suit for Robo was created by Rob Bottin who did the make-up for THE THING! So cool you dug this Jen (now on to GUMP!)

[@Texy88]

17:16 Emil (Paul McCrane) didn't recognise Robocop as being Murphy from his chin; rather, from the “Dead or alive, you're coming with me” line - which was the exact same line that Murphy had said to him earlier in the film during the latter's failed attempt to apprehend him that time.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Another Verhoeven sci-fi film is Hollow Man (2000), but it generally gets mixed reviews. (Some like it, others really don't.)

[@philstubblefield]

One of the best lines in science fiction filmdom: Chairman: "Dick, you're fired!" RoboCop: "Thank you." 😂

[@08191906]

Great reaction. This is the movie that put Paul Verhoeven on the map. Personally, I find his over-the-top gore gimmicky to the point of distraction. However, he does tell a good story, and the score is very good, too! I do recommend Robocop 2.

[@steveleslie2170]

I'm a Canuck but I was going to College in Dallas Tx and one evening my room mate and I went for a drive. We ended up passing the set at 12:45 "the lady/gang scene". The following summer Robocop came out...I was pretty excited to see the flick.

[@TerminatorJuice]

Not too many people can handle the blood and skin melting gore from this movie, so big props to you Jen for taking it like a champ! : ) Also, when it comes to sci-fi movies feature AI, you simply must watch the animated masterpiece "Ghost in the Shell" from 1995(which was inspired by Blade Runner) and then maybe the live action version from 2017 starring Scarlett Johansson that was pretty good! I know you'll really enjoy them! Cheers

[@e.d.2096]

Ghost in the shell...GREAT RECOMMENDATION! I second this!

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@e.d.2096 How do you feel about the live action adaptation? At first I didn't like it because I was concentrating on everything it didn't do right, but the more I've watched it, the more I've enjoyed it for what it is on its own merits.

[@e.d.2096]

@@TerminatorJuice I was not aware of a' live' adaptation so I'm sorry I really can't comment about it. The film is beautifully done though!

@@e.d.2096 You didn't know that they released a live action Ghost in the Shell movie in 2017? You should check it out if you're a fan of the anime

[@e.d.2096]

@@TerminatorJuice Thanks, I'll definitely look into it.

[@jeffthompson9622]

RoboCop's pistol is actually a Beretta 93R with cladding to make it look exotic. It was a 9MM with a twenty round magazine that could fire 3 shot bursts.

[@brom00]

Another of my faves. Robocop did spawn a lot. There were two sequels and a 2014 remake, all are good despite what you may hear. There was an '88 cartoon series and a '94 live action series. You can call him a Marvel superhero as well, it ran from '90 to '92. Through comics and video games, he's fought the Terminator, Aliens, and the Predator.
