Peter Weller Talks Robocop's Suit 

Cuckoo Nut var1 is hype af

Awww ok so that is him ....badass move by NRS 😎

RoboCop wins! “You’re coming with me!” Flawless Victory!

Amen! I melted inside when I heard "THE FUTURE IS HERE!".

They actually got Peter Weller to voice him? I did not know that...! 😳

@Robert Pierson Robocop was in 1987, not 1984, however Peter was in Buckaroo Banzai in 1984 which is a classic

Ironsmith Studios Did he even mention the years those two movies came out?

Arnold was supposed to be Murphy.. but he was too big for the suit

Orion was also behind UHF. Another classic.

True

phantom collector easily the most important piece of political satire in the last 40 years. it's crazy that Verhoven predicted our current social/political/economic situation so accurately.

>one of

My favourite film of all time. I've seen it countless times, yet it still never ceases to entertain me. The 2014 remake could have been so good, but was a total abortion. Rumours are there's a direct sequel to the original in the works. I'd like to see how that pans out, but I'll always have the original, and, to a lesser extent, Robocop 2. :)

Amen Brother! I was 6 when i first watched it. Still love it to this day. My favourite film ever and amazing sound track!

it's called a "classic"

Those footsteps were legendary, combined with the movement. It made him look even more like a machine.

Those chunky footsteps are IMMEDIATELY where my mind went as he was weaving that part of the story. They are truly THE iconic sound design decision. They sell the monster Weller was talking about.

When I was a kid, I used to step on soda cans to crush them to the bottoms of my shoes, and walk around pretending to be Robocop until the cans wore through.

*chunk chunk chunk chunk Like a sledgehammer thumping down

what i like about the footstep sounds is that theres a lot more to it than just describing the weight. if you compare them to just the weight - such as sounds of the t rex footsteps in jurassic park like if it was just a thud or thump sound, you would think that sounds heavy and so your imagination does the rest... but there is a visual connection to it as well, the vibration of the glass or water in a puddle etc, just builds up the tension especially the expressions on characters faces and their reactions to the sound of the footsteps (confusing it to the power trying to come back on etc lol). So the next time you hear those t rex footsteps, or see a vibration, your mind automatically will take you to the t rex. With robocop there is no weight to his steps that cause a vibration, but the footstep sound - if you notice in the film - the characters stop shouting and arguing and then the sound of the footsteps is like the first thing they get to experience with robocop, all ears are on that and their eyes and expression is the focus then and its a particular thud thud sound that sounds clean - and not like a clang of metal, its almost like someone closing an expensive car door or something it just has that sweet thud sound with almost like a digitised drum on a synth mixed in giving it that futuristic quality to it its very noticable and so much so that every person in the precinct reception turns their head and listens to it, and then with that sound you see a glimpse of robocop for the first time. Immediately the first impression on peoples minds is that build up, then the sound, the reaction and then the visual connection. WIthout these things, you lack that full robocop experience. So for me the footsteps sound IS part of robocop and part of the performance, and I am so happy they include this in the new robocop rogue city game, when you first walk down the city street a drunk comments on the sound as well which is cool.

THINK IT OVER.. CREEP!!

His voice has bearly aged. He sounds just like in 1987

@@azathoz fingers crossed he's in the new film!

@@andyhowden7655 that would be awesome mate. They can digitally rejuvenate him, but I'm not sure if he wants to reprise the role. Let's hope they can convince him, and let's hope they make a good movie too.

I could listen to Peter for hours...

Did he mention any intention to reprise his Robocop role in possible Robocop 4? Since Robocop is half human half machine, it is possible that Murphy's human head would age like his colleagues. Peter Weller suits best.

Jay Son Wong He didn't mention anything like that but I wish he did!! The meeting we had with him was probably right around 8 years ago- maybe even longer. He mostly talked about some current things he had been working on at that time.

KLUNKET, thank. Yeah, most of us would want everyone from original robocop to reprise their roles in a sequel.

KLUNKET Actors back appreciate the movie goers than today's loser actors.

KLUNKET, I appreciate that your comment is 3 years old, but I was glad to have read your mention that Peter was a really nice guy to meet and talk to. Robocop is a classic 80's movie, and Peter's portrayal went a long way towards making the character as iconic as it is.

except it doesn't have the iconic gun sound. as soon as i discovered this i stopped laying and permanently deleted it from my computer along with all transaction records emails, deleted all amounts, and shutdown my server that hosted my email address. i literally cannot get another copy unless i buy it again.

@@nepntzerZer What gun sound? The burst handgun is that from the movies.

Weesk

Will always be the best

He's the only true Robocop!

no cgi garbage

@@chriss4365 It's only ever Marvel and horror movies that have bad cgi. All else is pretty good imo. Especially 2013 Pacific Rim.

Undead Nightorc really does

Fast Forward 2014 Robo Cop moves Faster

@@jonienglish3231 and that movie flopped from what I remember. Just doesn't capture the magic of the originals. Like falling from a building gives you long arms. 😂

It makes you wonder

That's why the remake wasn't that good

/watch?v=C7iaw_qc0-A is not it full? :D little late right lol

He's a Professor. One of the Prerequisites for being a good teacher.

Professor Robocop

Yeah, I can imagine Peter Weller knows a little bit more about RoboCop than you do.

Thanks, PapunaOfficial!

I would think most actors do, if you dont take it seriously, directors/studios won't want to work with you.

@@417Graphix yeah actualy most actors now days dont care thast why they are blund as fuck

Why I love old school sci fi films. Actors had to wear uncomfortable suits & makeups while having to act without causing a fuss. Alot of raw talent & passion back then. These days they just green screen everything & that actor can go back to the hotel room later.

One of the highest IQ actors in Hollywood, definitely. Watch his interview on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. He is in his 60s and still has the memory of a young academic, reciting names, stories and entire pieces of texts with no hesitation and one after another. The guy got a Ph.D just on a whim and it's not hard to see how.

@@zxbc1 he's a cyborg you idiot, he records everything you say.

Yessir

No, acting in it for ten hours.

@@waltermalone216 No, Peter said 10 hours to put on the suit.

@@2sallads 3 hrs for putting on the inner suit, 7 hrs to put the outter suit on

@@angelixzs_xo I am aware of that. U was responding to ooga misinterpreting that as 10 hours to act in the suit. Not put it on. He was incorrect.

Worth every minute. Robocop is a deep satirical action redemption/revenge movie with as many quotable lines as Star Wars.

40 and showing clips of Robocop to my wife half the night as well as this video. Was 5 when my mom revealed RoboCop to me as a kid. She recorded the good tv edit done by the actual cast.

😂

Yeah now ironically Peter Weller starting to look like kurtwood Smith

Chris W 😂 😹😹

Because you're a tool 😝

tiger1945 what They need to bring back is them sex dolls for me and other people that need one I know I do people😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀can y'all bring them back on u tube please??????????

its still a great movie, I didn't hate the remake but it completely missed the tone and point of the original, its supposed to be satire and almost a dark comedy.

@@porko882 also no gore, excessive violence is such an iconic part of robocop, I mean ED-209 shooting that dude in the board room that shit's classic.... I did hate the remake btw, hate it with a burning passion XD

@@zwenkwiel816 reboot Robocop doesn't even look like the original, more like Batman.

@@TheDennys21 the ideas of the reboot could have made more sense by having the story set in Delta City, decades after the events of the original film.

I saw him talking about Naked Lunch and it was the first time I had seen him out of character. The contrast between his dead-behind-the-eyes, jaded characters and his actual personality is amazing. He's so emotive and has so much excited energy. I wonder what he does with it all when he is acting.

Jason Bouskill Go Robo

Damn straight!

The Real and only!

I think people in his hometown calls him Robocop.

He's back in MK 11.

Right right, Buckaroo Banzai!

@@versebuchanan512um hello 🫵🏾😀😂🤡

Yea lectures like that are a treat, yet few and far between.

Hurricanelive Cyborg.

he played a great character who instead of dying for our sins, this Jesus shoots rapists in the dick.

Please do not compare Jesus Who is True God and King in this way.

@@SeanChitty84 why workship a false God if u want to than u do it but dont make other people believe everybody has their own beliefs

Gay you are 😝😝😝

True but don't forget the standout performances from the actors behind Dick Jones and Clarence Bodiker!

RobOCP.....clever

Verhoeven made Robocop. Any other director would have made this into a mindless, dime a dozen action flick.

He probably is sick of talking about it at this point.

gorillaau he would say its fukt now completely fukt not like the 70s, 80s but from 90s onwards Hollywood is fukt 😁

gorillaau he would rather talk about history or language

Why is this a question?

He's going to say neckbeards lol

You also lived near the moon, and ate cheese

I know what I’m doing for my wedding 😁

Haha.. that is the most bullshit story I've ever heard.. only 6 suits were made, not 200... and it was Rob Bottin who made it.. not some guy in UK.. why even chat shit?

​@@poindextertunesCheese for everyone?

He got his PHD.

At UCLA? Cool. What exactly did he do as a teaching assistant that you recall?

Did you know Sam Roberts or Carmelo Anthony?

Kane Hodder to Jason Voorhes. Bruce Campbell to Ash. Good sir, you forgot two. Totally agree though.

1: nick castle,dick warlock and james jude Courtney are all micheal myers 2:Pierce Brosnan is james bond 3:tobey Maguire is Spider-Man

@@oisavvy C.J. Graham is my favorite Jason...

Bruce Willis is John McClane, Arnold as Dutch Schaeffer the top male man with full testosterone, Chris Evans the best freedom fighter like Captain America. They are all perfect in their roles, and there is no way to change that. :D

@@Deadite_Scholar he was the best one. Just watching him walk is so badass

Look, there is no doubt it took a very long time for peter weller to put the suit on, but no way it took him 10 hours, absolutely no way it took him that long.

Sherman Herritt I always thought that was more of his human side taking over since he's been beaten up. He doesn't really run, he just walks faster. Just my take on it. I've also read about the key catching scene being the first one they shot.

crissrudd4554 I dont think so. He sad there was more details on a original costume.

My guess would be the scene where he's sitting down and they go over his directives and test his targeting.

crissrudd4554 why the fucking mystery????!!!! lol

"Dick, you're FIRED!"

Dead or alive you're coming with me!

"You're move, creep!"

The Vox- Agreed.

The guy in the wheelchair is getting excited as he talks and does the move omg lol.

That's how I feel about Christian Bale's Batman.

@@whoelsebutmeofcoursei You damn right on that, how could l have forgot that comparison...

And Tobey Maguire as Spiderman

@@Kramos_Skate Sorry bro, Tom Holland takes it from Tobey Maguire... I'm mean that kid was Peter Parker right out of the comic books... Don't get me wrong l mean Tobey was great, l just think Tom Holland edges him out slightly...

Superman's real weakness was a horse

weller doesn't know what he's talking about. he says it's a silent movie

Guy in the wheelchair read this and nodded his head the whole way through.

illuminatioracle The Best Robocop there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!

@@mighty-badger7977 noice

The excellence of execution

Hey, it's the voice of the modern-day Robocop, Adam Jensen! Did you study Peter Weller's performance as Robocop at all for Adam, or did you prefer to lean towards Adam's more human nature for his dialogue?

Classics just like Road House, Point Break and all the other great ones. U can watch them over and over and never get sick of them!

He is a professor

spacetimecontinuum Funny story: I loved the Robocop movie as a kid-granted this was years after it had been released. So one day when i was home sick from school my mother decided to rent it and watch it with me. To this day I will never forget the look on her face .

+Daniel Ryan That movie, as epic as it was, was really really gruesome. And to think the franchise was aimed at kids (cartoon spinoff, toys, nintendo games etc). It scarred me as a child. Dude gets shot the hell up on his first day, looses his wife and kid who were never really introduced.. the bleakest future imaginable... I showed the film to a former gf and the look on her face when the ED209 shot up the guy in the conference room... Still a great film though xD

DrCash7 when I was a kid I think j had an ability to just ignore that stuff or lacked the empathy to care cause I usually just remember Ed the cool hero stuff and how he looked but not the horrible parts

Looks like everyone agreed with you - since this comment Gary won an Academy award, and was nominated for another.

Terminator, Alien(s), Predator and Robocop. The Pantheon of great 80’s films. Sadly their franchises were not handled well

Technically, yes, but only cause it Rando Callrisian'd into my reccomends

I watching again because the reveal.
