WTF Happened to ROBOCOP (1987)?

I laughed my buns of at the ridiculous title and movie concept, automatically dismissing it as a cornball B movie that would soon appear on those late night TV movie channels of the day after complete failure in theaters. Then, for some reason I went to see the movie anyway when it came out. I was incredibly shocked by how great the movie turned out to be. It was funny, intelligent and predictive, and replete with drama, action, car chases, and explosions.

Robocop is a masterpiece in my opinion. I love Verhoeven’s cutting satire on corporate America and consumerism along with almost a mischievous take on violence. To me the boardroom scene with the gratuitous gunshots goes so far over the top it is straight up shoots the moon and becomes parody. All the while he knew when to take the violence seriously like Murphy’s death and him being shot at later on by the police. He can do all that and leave us with touching moments like when Robo goes through what’s left of his home, haunted by memories of his family. That along with him taking off his helmet and that ending when he tells the Old Man to call him Murphy… always gets me, perfect way to end the movie.

Murphy, the good cop trying to stand up to evil dies, is reincarnated as an immortal being and comes to stand up for the innocent.

Watched it on DVD last night. I love the satire.

WTF Robocop? Robocop is still happening. Always relevant. Good video.

I remember when this came out. It was a gruesome masterpiece.

I saw this as a kid as soon as it made it to home video. I was young and thought it was another fun 80s action film. Watched it again last night for the first time since and wow was i wrong. The satire was biting in the first third of the film. Very much reminded me of Starship Troopers

Ooo this is my childhood movie. I remember i was obsessed with ROBOCOP when i was young kid.

It so many great scenes and lines, introduction of Robocop, ed209, help me scene, and the ending.

I saw an interview where Peter Weller came up with the RoboCop mannerisms over a weekend….

[@comedian416]

To think Peter Weller went thru the painful robocop suit again for a sequel

[@alanmurray5963]

I love that Detroit has a statue of Robocop, so cool. Love from an Irish fan

As a Dutch I’m proud of what a fellow Dutchman achieved with Robocop and other awesome movies like Total Recall and Starship troopers in the USA
