Robocop theme by Basil Poledouris from remastered version of the original Robocop soundtrack. Combined from 3 different tracks. Also, check out my Robocop playlist: • Robocop trilogy
@@Channel9001 an interesting topic. I'd think so. If these are a priority order especially. That would mean the first two are more important commands to follow and perhaps you may be right
@@dream8350 Is this a joke?? I mean ... if the original 'Robocop' will be released today just like the movie from the eighties ... there will be marches of glass people everywhere. Didn't you see Robocop from 2014?? Now that's not just corny af, it's pitiful and glassy.
Probably my biggest surprise this year. I expected something fun but kinda mid, but nah, when it comes to first person shooters - its far and away the best one of the year.
It’s ironic how videogames gave us better “sequels” to beloved 80s franchises than Hollywood did like Alien: Isolation and now Robocop: Rogue City. Predator: Hunting Grounds was ok, but the creature has more potential. They did Rambo dirty with that abysmal 2014 game, let’s hope that the comercial success of other 80’s adaptations incentivizes other studios to give the character another try.
The instant Robocop whipped out the Auto-9 gun and said in that Peter Weller voice "Drop it scum" to those rando bad guys I knew this was my game of the year. This game is genuinely amazing.
@@rohithkumar8708 the 80's had a style, a sort of character that everybody loves to go back to whenever possible. Even the 90's with the corny action movies that we all love. Now? Everything is shit smeared with social justice, trust me nobody 's gonna wanna go back to that.
@@ChrisZukowski88 like i said.... People will get old and they'll bitch about the current time and how things were good in the past. It's been happening for generations now .
@@alejandrolozano4919 he always defeated the terminator even in comics and videogames, it's just that the terminator fanbase is big enough to make you underestimate robocop's superior feats
@@WoWmakerWT I know in my area (80s-mid 90s), it was almost impossible to get to a cinema, I would guess a lot of sales was made in the video rental stores.... thus no ID needed for kiddies to watch. - I remember hearing stories when Rambo 2008 version came out, kids brought tickets to kiddie movies, snuck out and into the room that was showing Rambo.
Murphy's brutal torture/execution is the only truly disturbing scene. The rest of the violence is intentionally cartoonish and easy enough to take... but Verhoeven really pulled out the stops for Murphy's torment at the hands of Boddicker's gang. Still one of the most bleak and savage scenes I can recall in any mainstream production.
@@adamg6643 That alone is why Robocop's character is so universally liked. He was brutally executed in a way that left an everlasting impact on all viewers even after 30+ years the movie was released.
2/3 of these films were scored by the epic Basil Poledouris. Fiedel did T1/2. Horner was all up in there, Aliens being one of his famous action scores.
Absolutely epic theme! Perfectly suitable for such a tragic, action packed, violent, justice serving, epic Cop like Robocop! It perfectly suited Robo and the scene where he was driving away in his car and this theme was playing!
Morris de Galicia y Cázares sound of the law, Not justice. Robocop goes by parameters set by codes. Justice is more ambiguous and obtuse to define- Batman would dispense justice.
Still one of the greatest movies of all time, I'll show this to my kids and say "look kids this is what daddy used to watched in his younger days as a kid"
What does this comment even mean? The standards have gone down across the board. FIlmmaking is no longer art, but a vehicle to make a quick buck. Ridiculous comment. And shortsighted.
@@diddliewinks3486 Pretty sure the trailer for Terminator: Resistance didn't have the Terminator theme in their first trailer either. EDIT: Ok, I'm wrong on that matter, but with this being an early trailer I wouldn't worry yet. I'd have to imagine negotiating the rights to this theme aren't cheap. IMO, It would have been silly to hold back the trailer just because they didn't have the theme ready to go. T:R had several great renditions of the classic Terminator theme, as well as music that would have been right at home in the first two films. I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding back the Robocop theme for a climatic moment near the end of the game.
This is what justice sounds like. Not repression, but liberation through the fair application of the law. It’s no coincidence that the real villain of the film is a corporate board member.
Yeah it was a cyberpunk genre which usually always has powerful corporations doing this kind of shit such as them trying to get the police force to strike so they can gain more power
@@mileshill7196 Unfettered capitalism is like a boxer who can't keep his sport in the ring. It's like a fire let out to burn without supervision. Mixed economies where the State is an all-powerful referee that still allows for opportunity is the best way to go. You can get rich, but there's no chance of screwing over the nation while you're getting there. That's the politicians' job.
@@Tounushi Well said. I can't believe so many people still miss that to this very day. You can't just let companies go hog wild until they have more power than any single nation's government, which is exactly how it is now with Google, Twitter, and Facebook being more powerful than the ENTIRE U.S., Federal Government! It's astonishing to me that people still defend the tech oligarchs as "private companies" even while they take U.S., tax dollars for government contracts (which nulls their private company status) and trade publicly with a board of shareholders. It's all BS; and we're already living in the cyberpunk dystopia, just without all the hot ladies, cool flying cars, and plasma-powered auto-rifles that look like they hocked down the metal-tablet equivalent of steroids.
As a kid watching murphy's murder was rough... even today as an adult is tough to stomach. Amazing film. A shame hollywood lost its touch and we dont get great cinema like in the 80s
they need to stop making movies almost exclusively for 12 year olds and get back to R rated gory masterpieces of iconic cinema like Robocop. Also dropping some of the incredible (and dull) VFX in favour of actual writing and storyline wouldn't go a miss too.
Ernesto Gutierrez they stopped giving scripts to paul verhoeven, who incidentally only makes crazy movies when he directs american scripts, his war movies are deep and emotional but superboring.
PC culture and lack of gun violence in most movies. There are more guns but less gun violence hence when you see a shooting scene the guys just fall down with no blood
Because studios play it too safe these days. Back in the day they used to throw money at auteur directors and gave them much more freedom. Love or hate Paul Verhoeven but his films have a style that's almost impossible to replicate.
@@jasonbungard7484 I'm not talking about auteurs who take on franchise stuff like Ruin Johnson (plus I don't consider him an auteur). I'm talking about studios investing in and trusting a director with a big budget on an original idea or on an already existing script/story and allowing them the freedom to make it their own. I'm talking about directors like Paul Verhoeven, Tim Burton, Michael Mann, David Fincher etc. Directors whose films have such a certain style, whether that be storytelling, visual, editing or dialogue that it influences many imitators.
Basil Poleduris is my all time favorite composer. Conan, The Hunt for Red October, Starship Troopers, RoboCop, Red Dawn. Those are the ones that jump out to me. I saw the recent remake RoboCop movie, and it wasn't too bad...by my heart leapt when I heard a bit of the original Basil Poleduris theme. RIP Basil Poleduris. You left a legacy of great music.
" Can you Fly Bobby? " " I'll Buy that for a Dollar! " my fav movie of all time, im 32 now, watched it since i was a little kid, they dont make em like they used to. i even remember all my robocop figures i have were mostly from CVS pharmacy, lolol.
I was just watching an interview with Weller discussing the role, and it got me to thinking. Why not recast him as Robocop. This would be a continuation, thirty-plus years later. He's gotten older, but not obsolete. This would be a good send-off for the character. Almost how Hugh Jackman did in Logan. Hopefully, they can get him suited up faster than the ten hours it previously took. Someone make this happen.
I watched Robocop (original) a few days ago on a cable channel and its interesting how few special effects were in movies of that era. Robocop's action scenes were filmed at an actual location and not put on with CGI after the actors' parts have been filmed in front of a green screen. The only CGI/graphics back then were what really could not be filmed live at any reasonable cost. Always a great choice when you want to kick back with a big bowl of popcorn and watch an action movie.
I think a lot of action movies are now trying to move away from CGI and get the raw intensity of real stuntwork and human effort back. It pays dividends when done right. Mission Impossible etc.
Can anyone else imagine what it would be like if they found Robocop preserved in the ruins of Detroit in Dredd's time and took him back to Mega-city One? "Judge Dredd, meet Judge Murphy."
In 1994, a certain crossover game pitted two futuristic cyber Warriors in an epic clash in RoboCop vs Terminator. Fast forward to May 2020, those two will have their long awaited rematch because ladies and gentlemen, ROBOCOP is the latest guest character to become a DLC Kombatant in Mortal Kombat 11 Alo G with previously added Terminator. Psyched doesn't even begin to describe this.
An exchange between them in MK11 nods to that~ Murphy: Haven't we done this before? T-800: I have no record of a previous encounter. Murphy: We've met.. I am sure of it.
H-hey, now wait a second. Now, wait a minute. You're taking this kind of personal, aren't ya? Come on, man. Come on, now. You're making me nervous. Come on, you can't do this! Come on, now! Don't mess around! Hey! Hey! Come on, man. Now, don't get cute!
This soundtrack is One of a kind.. The death of Murphy is One of the most brutal execution/deaths, in television history.. Still its too hard to watch it.. Still haunts me..
Whoever came up with the idea for how Robocop posed with his other hand out when aiming was genious. It somehow really added to the belief that he wasn't just a man in a suit. He really looked cool the way he moved and the way they chose to shoot him. And that music, ahhhh! Masterpiece!
It was Moni Hakim but also not really because it's interpretative dance so it predated Moni. Moni was the one that had the vision to see the dance as the correct movement medium for RoboCop when the suit arrived and they found out it didn't work as intended.
H-hey, now wait a second. Now, wait a minute. You're taking this kind of personal, aren't ya? Come on, man. Come on, now. You're making me nervous. Come on, you can't do this! Come on, now! Don't mess around!! HEY! HEY!!!! COME ON, MAN!!!! NOW, DON'T GET CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
funny how nostalgic this theme feels considering I didn't even get to watch this masterpiece back when it came out, I just caught glimpses of it on tv every once in a while as a young child but never got too deep into it back then
When I was a kid, I almost cried when all those cops almost killed RoboCop. Looking at that scene now, is still a bit hurtful, if you look at it from Murphy's perspective. He's been shot to hell when he was alive and at that moment with the cops, he's reliving that nightmare
@@BarrySlisk Maybe you're right on most composers. But few of them aren't as "bland" as people think. Hans Zimmer's music is something you don't hear on almost every 20th century movies, or even great composers like Thomas J. Bergersen and Steve Jablonski.
@@diepiepew12 Hanz Zimmer is probably one of the most bland mainstream composers of all, with scores having similarly put together sequences and tones that quickly get old
