He was born in Wisconsin but grew up in Texas, but yeah I remember him talking about that in an interview saying that Auto-9 was perfectly balanced so it was like trying to twirl half of a baseball bat. It very clearly didn’t stop him from being about to pull it off when he needed to
"Role models can be very important to a boy". This is one of the most tragic lines in the movie, considering Peter Weller's fate only 10 minutes later.
@@AbsurdShark Err no He's fine... *But the Character murphy ten minutes later is well... Turned into literal actual swiss. Pumped full of so many shotgun shells it's beyond overkill.*
The first one is clunky with him having hard time with the timing. The second time is done with perfect robotic percision, where it's so automatic that it no longer looks cool. The third one is the middle ground between the two, where we can see the move being calculated but still done with adrenaline and emotion. Murphy truly is back in control.
Man who has started to accept his resurrection and transformation. Despite all the butchery his body and mind have gone through he remains Alex Murphy: dutiful, honest man who placed his obligations before himself.
"What are they going to do replace us?" is being said in the background as she notices Robocop spins his gun, signifying Murphy hasn't been replaced and is still, at least partially, in there. Really good movie.
@@JustSomeCanadianGuy a lot of them are scumbags and conmen who play on their insecurities. It's a shame, boys should grow up with strong, brave, positive role models, not the cloying social media psychos endemic to this generation.
This film is near perfect, with only two flaws: the ridiculous puppet that is thrown at the end from the building and the fact that Louis met Murphy and he was killed on the very first day. It would have made more sense if they had been partners for a little longer, at least enough for them to have a meaningful friendship.
Agreed. And yet, the line... "Murphy... it's you"... is still one of the most powerful scenes in cinema history. I'm not sure how Paul V. pulled this off.
I always kinda liked the fact that Louis had just met Murphy, it makes her more of an audience surrogate and differentiates the movie from a lot of other buddy cop movies imo
Look, let's just split the difference and to make her even more of an audience surrogate, we'll say that she's already known him, but not for too long, and mostly only through trailers.
The second one isn't a flaw. Murphy was just transferred, which means Lewis is the only one there who knows anything about him. She's his only link to the human world. If they were partners longer that would mean Murphy was in that precinct longer and more people would know and recognize him as Robocop. It would actually make her less important, not more.
0:34 that shows the quality of his character more so than anything else in this film. I like how they embraced payed this scene in the animated intro. And it makes him the more tragic when his memories of his family are ripped away from his mind.
@@Mr_T_Badger From what I’ve heard, Fletcher hasn’t seen the original and previous installments of the movies and didn’t bother to mimic Peter Weller’s mannerism, including the gun-twirl with his Auto-9.
@@ilyas1054 You mean Beretta forced the selection due to negotiations for basing rights in Vicenza, Italy, going on concurrently as there is no universe where a Sig loses to a Beretta.
"Detroit" was actually Dallas in this movie. That's Renaissance Tower behind Murphy, a well-known part of the Dallas skyline, especially at night where it lights up a with a big X across it. "OCP Headquarters" was actually Dallas City Hall with a matte painting extension to make it look taller.
I'm 41 and I stick with that as a father. I'm tired with all the bullshit to create characters "who kids could identify with". GTFO. Kids need inspirational/role models that they can "try" to be or achieve some day. This is one of the main reasons Marvel movies got success, because they showed kids inspirational roles.
@@Excalibur01 As long as the safety lock is on, then it should be fine. Plus I did see Adam Baldwin’s Animal Mother almost always having his finger on the trigger of his M60 machine gun in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, and being the notorious control freak auteur director that he was, what Stanley Kubrick wants Stanley Kubrick gets.
Remember kids thats a transmitter. And steering wheel to loads of kids. But notice how its pointing in one direction only. And why change it to a triger finger. ? $ € £
@@bootlegpete7984 How come nobody has made multiple significant others legal yet? I mean, bisexuals would be very happy for something like that to happen, and who wouldn’t want to become and live the life of a harem king like Issei from High School DXD?!
