Emile recognizes him at the petrol station because he said "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!".... Murphy said the same thing to him before they all shot him up, pre-Robocop.

It's impossible to not have a smile on your face when Murphy gives his name at the end, just a perfect fistpump moment

“Bitches leave.”🤣🤣🤣 Clarence Boddicker is one of the greatest villains ever.

That "not funny" TV show is a sarcastic commentary on mindless TV shows drawing in the masses. Considering how TV has evolved since then, it's pretty accurate.

27:14 FUN FACT: The actress playing the secretary is Joan Pirkle, who married Kurtwood Smith a year after this movie was released. This is the movie that brought them together and as of 2022, they're still married to this day.

"Bitches leave", cracks me up every time. The perfect 80's satire and warning on corporatism. We're closer to that world now then we've ever been, scary times.

Robocop probably remembers the gunfinger spin move because as Alex Murphy I imagine he practiced that move over and over again, and then used it at work. Muscle memory. So his brain remembered it as Robocop.

I love the ending. It still gives me chills: “nice shootin’ son, whats your name?” “Murphy.” *cuts to title screen: ROBOCOP*

Robocop is but one of the trifecta of Director Paul Verhoeven masterpieces! Hopefully, Mary will continue with Total Recall and Starship Trooper very soon! 👍👍

I was age 11-12 in 1987. My old man would bring home pizzas and a stack of rented movies once a week for a whole evening of '80s movies and gluttony. There were so many good films coming out in the late '80s, it seemed as if we got enjoyable ones every week. Always something to look forward to on Thursdays as a kid. Especially those with a wee bit of the 'ole ultraviolence.

This movie is amazing. It is not taking itself too seriously, it takes advantage of the R rating, it finds time for humorous in-universe news and adverts... It is bit dated graphically, but because of the style it took I do not think it matters, it is still rather enjoyable.

Kurtwood Smith as Boddicker is one of my all time favorite villains. He has so much fun with the role 😎

- Reason Alex didn't immediately die from the ambush at the beginning is he had body armor that kept him alive until the hospital. - Alex wasn't just chosen because he was a cop who died in the field; he was an HONEST, not corrupt, headstrong, good cop who wanted to do well in law enforcement...his mindset wouldn't let him go insane in the robot armor. So OCP took his brain and face when his body died...the essence of Murphy is in Robocop - Peter Weller was only the actor who was cheap enough, willing to be under the visor so his face isn't shown most of the movie, and can actually fit into the suit. Arnold and Stallone were considered but they were none of the above - Paul the director was not fluent in English and missed the point of the movie at first. His wife got the script out of the trash, read it and convinced him it has a lot more substance than he read first. The key scene was when Alex goes back to visit his family home after his dreams. - Total Recall, Starship Troopers and this movie is considered Paul's futuristic trilogy that really played to his over the top ultraviolence mixed with social commentary of society

The director was going to pass on this movie because he felt the title made it a kids movie. But his wife read it and said he had to do it. He purposefully turned the violence in the film up to 11 as part of the satire he filled the whole film with

"I don't think I've seen a single woman in this room. I haven't noticed. And this is supposed to be "futuristic"." 4:06 I see at least three ... possibly four sitting at the table.

Another fun fact about this movie, that was a real hospital ER team working on Murphy. That's why their lingo and tone is spot on for trauma doctors in that time period.

Telling an 80's minion villain to, "Get an education." was absolutely priceless.

They actually had to tone down the violence to get the "R" rating. It originally received an "X" rating.

Emil's death is one of the best in cinematic history.

The dude recognized Alex cause he said “dead or alive, you’re coming with me” before he died 😁

I’m pretty sure I have trauma from watch this movie when I was way too young. Ed209 still chills me to the core. Kinda funny to hear him described as a “chunky monkey”.

5:15 "Somebody wanna call a gad damn paramedic?" Lol, even Lola got out of there for that one. Robocop is a classic!

You left out the best line in the entire movie when Red Foreman said "Bitches leave."

I'll buy THAT for a dollar!!!

I was born and raise in Dallas, Tx. Seeing this movie really brings me memories. Every time I go running in downtown, some scenes from this movie begin to play in my head, especially when I pass across the City Hall building.

Little trivia. It wasn't green screen, it was actually matte painting. Someone (Rocco Gioffre) actually added bits to existing buildings, to extend them, or to make interiors look more cavernous. The practical effects in this movie are legendary!

1. Serve the public trust. 2. Protect the innocent. 3. Uphold the law.

Assuming this is your introduction the the world of Paul Verhoeven. A world where nothing is too extreme or shocking. So glad you enjoyed it. Definitely check out the other 2 films in his sci-fi ‘trifecta’, “Total Recall” (the 1990 version, NOT the 2012 remake) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and “Starship Troopers”. He actually did 1 other sci-fi film called “Hollow Man”, but he’s mostly known for “Robocop”, “Recall” and “Troopers”. Additionally, there are 2 sequels and a short-lived TV series based on this film, none of which had any involvement with Verhoeven. “Robocop II” is worth a look, but the rest…meh.

18:14: Emil recognized Murphy after he said “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.”

27:14 "And that, kids, is how I met your Mother." Joan Pirkle and Kurtwood Smith met on the set of Robocop, married the next year and have two kids.

At the gas station (or petrol station), when Robocop said, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me." That's what the creep recognized to know it was Murphy.

He may be slow but in this age, he is beyond top of the line. A true to form juggernaut, unstoppable and indefatigable. A sheer monument of will power.

Fun fact the girl at the desk that “clearance” (the guy from that 70s show) was talking to is his actual real life wife lol

This was filmed in Dallas in the summer 1986. When Murphy and Lewis were chasing Clarence's gang in the beginning you can see Reunion Tower in the background. Peter Weller was baking in the suit during the filming. Now you should watch the next Robocop movies and the remake. I was in high school when they made this.

When I saw this in theaters, the shot where Clarence ran through toxified Emile was a bit longer. Emile splattered all over the windshield, and then Clarence turned on the windshield wipers. It was hilarious, but I haven't seen that extended scene in any home release. I hear the Criterion has an extended cut with this scene restored.

Brutal action, lots of blood, social commentary, classic one-liners, and top of that-time special effects, welcome to Verhoeven's cinema

Kitty isn’t even phased by Murphy being shot up. She’s just chilling on your lap getting petted.

18:15 The guy at the gas station remembers robocop because of the "dead or alive you're coming with me". Thats the same thing Murphy told him as a cop at the factory plant before he was gunned down.

Basil Poledouris excelled at that sort of bombastic score. Conan the Barbarian, Hunt For Red October and Starship Troopers are other great examples of his work.

The sci fi "trilogy" from this director is Robocop, Totall Recall and Starship Troopers. My personal favorite is Starship Troopers.

Fun fact - At 23:44 where Clarence spits blood on the charge sheet. The director hadn't told anyone else he was going to do this so the reactions from the other cast were real.

LOL! I loved your reaction to when Emil goes into the toxic waste. "Ehhhh! I can't look...Just die already!!" Haha!

I saw this movie at the drive-in when it came out and I was blown away by the special effects

One of the greatest action movies of all time.

As a child watching this, I never fully realized how messed up and dark this movie is...but I loved it. I'd buy that for a dollar! 💙From Detroit

The thing you thought was a green screen. Was actually a Mat Painting. And the high guy is always funny to me. Its a jungle out there who hoooo. And the secretary Clarence was flirting with became his wife in real life.

RoboCop is the perfect blend of science fiction, action and satire. It's such a great movie.

Fun fact: This movie had a toy line despite its R rating

80's kids are built different. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It's crazy how violent something can be then, but nowadays a movie gets a harsh rating if they drop an F bomb or 2. I really loved this movie growing up, but the toxic waste part always made me look away. I also definitely recommend as others have: Total Recall (!!!) and Starship Troopers. Such great movies!

This movie is the reason why I started to love the cyberpunk genre.

Neat bit of trivia: Because the Robocop theme hadn't been finished when it was time to make the trailer they used the Terminator theme, as both movies were made be Orion.

Genuinely 1 of my favourite movies of all time, along with Commando.

Murphy’s execution scene, for what you saw, drew an X rating several times before they toned it down. You are watching the uncut version.

This is one of Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi/action parody movies that was actually commentary on society (the other being Starship Troopers). It is a satire of corporate greed and excess that was common in the 80's as well as a comment on the "War on Drugs" and the decay of the inner cities. One of the best sci-fi movies of the 80's.

Don't bother watching the remake.

In my top 5 films if all time - script, casting, acting, production design, cinematography, musical score, all on point - lightening in a bottle. Love the cyberpunk ghost in the machine vibe & the dark satirical humour - bloody perfection! The Robo memories bit when he's going round his old home having flashbacks hits me in the feels every time.

_"...he's so slow but, he's effective."_ That's certainly what she said.🤣

The half melted dude getting turned to soup from the vehicle impact always gets me.

I worked as a projectionist when this movie came out and when the trailer first hit about 2 months before it premiered people laughed and made jokes, it became a sleeper hit with great reviews. It’s a classic

I love it! Everytime someone watches RoboCop for the first-time, they start to laugh at it's cheesiness; but as the movie progresses, the reactors are knee-deep into the story and start rooting for Murphy... Brilliant!

Favorite as a kid. And when my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said “ I want to be robocop.” lol vivid memory. Glad you got to finally see this classic.

This was the closest thing to being able to watch a childhood classic all over again with new eyes. Thank you.

I'm sure someone has already told you, but OCP is not the military, it's a private corporation. In fact, the whole movie is a satire about corporate greed.

The relationship you have with Lola is awesome. She just comes and hops on ur lap whenever she wants. 😂

I love it that Lola totally noped-out when the violence got real, lol. Cats are awesome. Peter Weller is a seriously underrated actor. He picks amazing, complex roles and absolutely nails it every time.

When you mentioned that this movie reminded you of the Terminator, they actually did come out with a Robocop vs. The Terminator game for both the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo. It's a fun game! :D

18:16 he didn't recognize the face, he recognized the oneliner 23:56 no, that was filmed on location in dallas city hall but they did add more floors with special effects

There are several connections between this movie and the TV show Twin Peaks. The actors who played Leon, Bob Morton, and the Old Man all had roles in Twin Peaks.

Game Companies: *"Dead or Alive you're coming with me"* Robocop: Surely you want me alive Mortal Kombat: Yeah, about that...

I think this movie had more blood squibs than every movie made in the last 10 years combined. I'm not sure of that, but it feels right.

The 80's were a wild time. This had a toy line and a Saturday morning cartoon tie in. You know, because it appealed to kids.

this is one of my fave films from the 80s and always makes me cry when he's going around his old house 😢

An all-time great satire, that people *really* didn't get at the time.

Robocop was the very 1st movie I saw on VHS back in the 80s when I was 7 or 8 years old. It blew my mind as a kid watching it, especially the part when the dude got the toxic waste bath, awesome 👌

You never forget the first time you see the dude splat over a windshield.

One thing I always liked is when he fights ED209 and his visor is broken you see a glimpse of his humanity in his eye. Well done scene.

Continues to be one of the most satisfying movie endings ever.

The actor who plays Robocop is a classical historian. If I remember correctly he teaches out of Syracuse university.

I saw this movie when I was 6, the 90s were wild.

This movie gave me nightmares as a kid. I used to dream that I was getting chased by the big robot down some stairs. Just the way robocop walked scared me. By far the scene that creeped me out the most was when they were feeding Robocop that baby food

The interview with the homeless guy always gets me.

Legend has it: So this guy died and they still made him go to work?

Mary: "hopefully this one will be more successful..." Me: two sequels, a video game series, a cartoon, a tv series, comics and a reboot? i'd say quite successful indeed.

One of my favorites from that time!! My late wife and I must have watched all three films a hundred times lol

The theme tune was originally written for terminator. The terminator theme tune was written for this movie. They decided to switch the themes at the last second before release, deciding they each suited the other movie better. There is even a trailer for RoboCop with the terminator music.

“Bitches, leave” is still my favorite line in the movie after 40 years .. 😎

That's life in the big city, is my favourite line 😂😂😂

18:22 He recognized the line, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me".

This turned into a kid’s movie. They made action figures. Gen X saw this before we turned 13. Love the 80’s.

Completely agree about San Junipero. That episode was amazing.

Some of the dated effects are hammed up on purpose in a very tongue in cheek way. The film is dripping with satire that even my young self noticed when it came out. It’s a real gem of 80s cinema.

“DOOSH DOOSH DOOSH” Haha that was classic!

Best part was when the guy drove into the can of toxic waste 😈 he was so saggy and wasn’t able to speak. It didn’t haunt me, as a kid, I was so grossed out and laughing so much 🤣

That guy at the gas station knew who he was because Robocop said Dead or Alive, You're Coming With Me.

Lola is such a precious cat ❤

Peter Weller is a historian. He was on the faculty at Syracuse and has a Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance Art History.

I remember the comics & 80's/90's video games merging Robocop & Terminator. They even went so far as to make Murphy's cyborg process as the catalyst that led to the Model 101's infiltration. Also, the actor who played Murphy, graduated from UNT in Denton, TX, and the local Whataburger use to keep a huge collection of his photos and posters on the walls.

"I'll buy that for a dollar" Was from a very popular show in the 60's called "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" a sketch comedy show.

Robocop is basically The Crow but set in the future with robots. This was 80's gratuitous violence done right
