ROBOCOP: The Lost Family Scene and Its Journey to the Remake... -

Original Robocop was the best ❤

Hands down. Amen 🙏 ❤

was

[@JMrealgamer]

Sure was.

[@Gr33nreaper101]

Sure was, but nothing was wrong with the 2014 remake. It was even one of the better remakes in todays world compared to other remakes out there

[@hamboba6558]

@Gr33nreaper101 a lot of people hated the remake. I thought it was okay. His robo body looked more like a cat suit

[@Terbie36]

One of the best movies of all-time.

[@Craftsman76]

DEFINITELY!!

[@mikaelwojciechowski7281]

Absolutely! ❤

[@Slim1423]

I always liked the scenes where Murphy wanted to connect with his past family life or in a sense maybe he wanted to watch over them as Robocop, without them letting them know who he truly was. Even when Robocop told his wife that he didn't know her , i could tell it hurt him. A few moments later , Robocop walked over by the window to look at his wife as she cried. That was some good drama about how a man could really feel if his body was so badly damaged, that he could only live inside of a mechanical body. To me , Robocop seems to question what is more important , the man or the machine. Sometimes, it seems like Murphy struggled to hold onto his humanity, while trying to avoid becoming just a total machine. The older Robocop movies i liked best, with Peter Weller.

not the same home in Robocop 2

[@amtraklover]

He does watch over them in the tv series and does reconnect with his son in Prime Directives. Whether you want to regard them as canon is up to you.

[@Slim1423]

@amtraklover i remember the tv show, but i liked the Robocop movies better. I think the purpose of showing Robocop wanting to watch over his family, was to remind the audience that Murphy was still human, but inside of a mechanical body. Murphy missed being able to be with his family, when he use to have a human body.

[@Slim1423]

@Robin-q1c I am a Robocop fan . Not only have i seen Robocop 1, 2, and 3. I also saw the entire Robocop tv series. I also saw the Rebocop reboot movie. I also saw some of the Robocop animated series episodes. I am more of a Rebocop fan than some. Alexis Murphy was a man first, a police officer killed in the line of by some crooks. After his death, OCP put some of Alexis's human remains into a mechanical body. The most important part of the mechanical body was Alexis Murphy's brain. OCP tried to make Alexis more of a machine, but he overode that program, because he was still human, not a cyborg. So, i am clearly a real Robocop fan .....

A comic book series that was a sequel to the movie had one story where he visited his own grave stone at the grave yard. It looked surreal. It said "Here lies Alex J Murphy". They really should have shown him visiting his own grave stone in Robocop 2.

[@done.t.5179]

They, actually, shot such a scene. But, never added it, in the final movie. Too bad, it would add a lot, to the movie's atmosphere. Here's, the youtube link the scene, for all those who didnt know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIXdn36Vo5uohbs

[@the-craig]

I think I remember that, from the Marvel comics

[@Zurround]

@@the-craig People have actually visited their own graves in real life. If a person is missing for too long (lost at sea for example) they are declared legally dead and often there is a funeral and memorial service. Imagine if Tom Hanks in Castaway had visited his own grave or seen pictures of his own funeral for example.

[@darrellbuyzat3355]

Murphy never went by his old home in Robocop 2. His wife moved away in the first one and sold the house, so this house was her new place, and Alex had never been on the property never mind in the house. I enjoy seeing videos like this, but at least get the facts right.

[@kharnethebetrayer4125]

Also, he had been stalking her for awhile. Hence the meet up later at the station.

[@Terbie36]

He says they planned to shoot such a scene (for Robocop 1) but then gave up with the idea (it's an unused idea). And this idea was to be included in Robocop 1, it has nothing to do with Robocop 2.

[@darrellbuyzat3355]

Robocop was treated like a cyborgnetic product that OCP created, that never respect it as human with a living tissue. His partner Officer Ann Lewis and a few cops see it with human feelings with respect.

[@kenswireart88]

This is one of the best movies of all time because in another way, we are all RoboCop and we all become RoboCop because we die to our child hood selves when we grow up and many years later we drive by where we used to live and it's changed and no one recognizes us only very few people. We remember all the fun times that took place at that place many years ago before we turned RoboCop.

[@Shinobi_ninja_clan]

Very sad but very true 👍

[@Bill-iz3od]

"I can feel them...... But I can't remember them. ....... Leave me alone😢"

[@Slim1423]

@Bill-iz3od I can't quite understand what Robocop meant by what he said. I mean in a mechanical body, how could he have feelings for a person that he couldn't remember? The movie seemed to question man vs. machine, or could the essence of someone exist in a mechanical body, without losing their humanity?

[@Potrimpo]

I agree with Paul Verhoeven. In my belief, not having his family there adds to the loneliness of Robocop, further stripping away who he once was. And the dehumanizing factor was one of the key elements that the reboot royally messed up on.

[@Ghost7065]

The remake was underrated. While not the best remake ever made, it had some good ideas and homage to the original film.

[@bobfg3130]

The original was better.

[@Dan-di9jd]

Robocop is about a dude who was forced to return to work. And not only work, but work 365 days a year and never be able to rest or go home. He'd see others grow old, retire, and he would see new recruits come and go until the company decides they don't want to invest in him anymore and he ends up trash. Overall, I imagine in real life Robo would get a very good lawyer and ensure his family is well taken care of.

[@LukeLovesRose]

Robocop deserved that kind of recognition. Were not talking about a bad guy who lost everything. Murphy was a really good guy. Sentiment doesnt work if its for a bad guy

[@theknightjester]

Rogue City is the 3rd Robocop film we deserved! Those devs also made the third Terminator film we should have gotten with Terminator Resistance!

[@BJBlaskovichGaming]

She’s not his ex wife. She’s his widow as he is legally dead.

[@JayGamerShow]

I could see the dog being nervous at first, but then slowly approaching Murphy, still nervous. But then licks his mechanical hand and with its keen senses knowing this was his former owner. Oh my heart would melt.

[@safirahmed]

The film RoboCop did not fully explain the full horrors of lost physical humanity to the body of Officer Murphy.

[@ninjaninja9954]

if you have the VHS of the movie, that lost scene was in it. It was a brilliant scene. What you don't see in this clip is robocop punching the TV out of sadness

[@victorgarcia3765]

One of the greatest movies made of all time, great action, balanced violence with a bloody Gore look to it. The gunfights were some of the best

[@may_laytrucker3127]

Peter Weller made masterpiece movie !

[@bloodstone1992]

i don't mind them taking that scene out of the original film it wasn't needed. The second film however, should have added it. In general it was a bizarre decision to basically regress Murphy's character arc in the second film. turning him back into a monotone cold robot throughout the film. only for him to say at the end of the film "Patience Lewis, We're only human."

[@jamesfrench7299]

His son has Robocop genes. He would have been thrilled to know it’s his dad.

[@averagechadlegionary5824]

"Excessively Sentimental" is my new favorite saying. 😂

[@sic6664]

While the tv-series wasn't perfect it had some great moments. I personally loved the episodes with Murphy's father. In one episode he finds out who Robo really is and Alex says not to tell their loved ones. Very touching.

[@willharris7609]

There was another scene where his wife suspected that Murphy lived and came to the station to see for herself if Robocop was her husband. Murphy knew that she would have no real future with him and decided to set her free. Robo told her that they only attached Murphy's face as a tribute and that he was only a machine. He told her that he didn't know her and walked away.

[@jameszaldana375]

Original did it perfectly, wasn’t too much exposition and showed just enough to know about Murphy life

[@ludvigborga3676]

Plot twist. When Boddiker finds out who RoboCop is, he goes after Murphy's family.

[@GlennLC]

I remember spawn, his dog still recognizes him.

[@richard-rs8dw]

'They made this to honour him'. The only line in 2 that was as good as 1.

[@Cormano980]

Part two is written by Miller, a different direction from the original Neumaier first Robocop, so basically only the original Verhoeven version is canon

[@CBRHurricane6]

Verhoven was right, not to mention I think Peter weller NAILED the expression, stunned to PISSED , I give Peter so much credit since he had half his face covered in a mask but you could read his expressions perfectly

[@IronMan3582]

I can understand why Vohoven opted to skip it, but it would have been nice at most minimum to have his dog recognize him and maybe go for a walk as a post-credit scene

[@chrismaccool9097]

Why didn't they have his family play more of a vital role in all three movies it would have made the trilogy more popular and definitely more better like say still being a part of his life for God sake.

[@adammiller8096]

I never understood why in the original his family kept their distance, his old partner was right there the whole time. I was disappointed when 2014’s didn’t get a sequel. The original was a trilogy.

[@Axes_1138]

The theme of Murphy's family was widely used in the television series as well as in the miniseries Prime Directives.

[@dezertfox3681]

Ah the scene found it's way into the Robotcop spinoff.

[@starby1243]

Wanna know why? Because Robocop is a machine using a blanked memory human brain. Alex is dead. That face is synthetic mask that was made to honor Murphy. RoboCop does detective work to unravel the mystery of Murphy's death. He is overcome by emotions Murphy had from recovered memories. At one point he asks Lewis "Murphy had a wife and son what happened to them?" He didn't say "I had" He said "Murphy had". In the end RoboCop assumes the identity of Murphy. People always get it wrong with RoboCop. They always think Alex isn't dead. The movie is about a Machine becoming almost human by avenging the original owner and donor of his brain.

[@Ash-928]

He had some of Murphy's mannerisms and dreamed about his murder and death, he also said about his family "I can feel them, but I can't remember them"

[@starby1243]

@Ash-928 He said about Murphy's family. He's feeling through Murphy's brain. Did you know that isn't Murphy's actual face on RoboCop? It's a synthetic death mask to honor Murphy. RoboCop is AI machine similar to Terminator

[@darkzak47]
