I'm ecstatic that younger people are getting into Robocop because it's fucking epic. And one of the greatest films of the 80s.

I interviewed Peter Weller in college. Here's a couple of background notes. It initially took them 8 hours to get him into the costume but they eventually got it down to 90 minutes. Also, the film originally got an X rating for the violence, but the director cut 2 frames from one scene and they got the R rating.

I can’t believe you cut out “bitches leave,” the greatest one-liner in cinematic history.

One of the best social satires ever made. It should also be noted that there is zero CGI, it's all practical effects and stop motion. Murphy's head is brilliant practical application work. So good.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!!!" Also, this might be the best set of movie villains ever. Dick, Bob, Clarence and his entire crew. Love it.

it's stated that the Ed- 209 was intended to be sold to the military, the police application was just supposed to be proof of conccept

Robocop's gun is pretty iconic. It's called Auto-9 in the movie- it's actually a modified Beretta 93R, capable of 3 round burst fire 👍

Clarence Boddicker is one of the best villains ever, he's just so delightfully evil.

It’s ultimately a movie about someone having their humanity stolen by a corporation, and his quest to regain it.

43 year old. Been one of my favourites since I (secretly) watched it when I wasn't even 10 years old 😅 Anyway, always good to see younger people watch this for the first time and enjoying it 😎👍💯

when the toxic waste guy gets hit by the car, me and my brother couldn't stop laughing.. you can tell the special effects guys had a lot of fun making this movie. i wonder if the director was like "i need it to be as gory as possible" and they were like "challenge accepted"

One easily missed aspect of this movie and one you wouldn't really expect, is that the triage scene with Murphy at the beginning, is one of the best and most accurate medical scenes on film! They actually hired a real life, life flight crew and an entire ER/OR team, the director just gave them the setup for the scene and told them to just do what they would normally do in that situation and recorded it.

Used to watch this all the time when we were kids. KIDS! Had Robocop toys and there was an animated series! I lived through it and it still seems crazy!

I absolutely LOVED this movie as a child...I just didn't realize at the time how absolutely f****'d up of a movie this was for a kid to be watching, seriously. "I'll buy that for a dollar!" If you thought Red Forman was grumpy in That 70's show...you don't even know. 💙 From Detroit

RoboCop is awesome! Weird to think what would have happened if the dad from That 70s Show turned to crime. 😂 Also, ‘Bitches leave!’ is perhaps one of the greatest lines ever in movie history.

No, don't watch the sequels. Other Paul Verhoeven movies, yes.

"I LIKE IT!" One of the great movies of the 80s. Thanks for reacting.

There was something about the 80s, not sure what it was but we had the best movies that decade and with the greatest soundtracks. Thanks to you two young men today I learned a new word at my old age of 65.verisimilitude And I agree it is crucial for a film to be consistent with the world ii creates. When I watch a film I am like the great director Martin Scorsese, I am those people , absorbed into the film, and when they stop being consistent the whole thing goes off the rails for me. great and fun to watch reaction as always guys...

Emil’s death by toxic waste / hit by car is one of cinema’s most memorable. Guess you’ll need to do “Total Recall,” (the ‘80’s masterpiece, not the awful remake) and “Starship Troopers.” Another fun flick starring Peter Weller is “The Adventures of Buckeroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension.” Another fun flick with Nancy Allen is “1941.” Other suggestions: “The Last Boyscout,” “Demolition Man,” “The Running Man,” and “Commando.”

Robocop II is probably worth your time. Don't bother with the rest of them.

They obviously don’t realize that this is a satire. And that it’s BRILLIANT!

RoboCop used a FUSB to access the police computer. 😂

you gotta get your hands on the film Demolition Man, old film with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, it feels very much in line with RoboCop! It has so many good lines!

16:20 - funny you should mention that. The "Auto 9" in the film is indeed built from the Beretta 93R select-fire pistol.

Rob Bottin's work on creating Robocop is some of the best makeup work ever

This movie works on three levels: as a revenge action flick, as a meditation on what it means to be human, but also a biting social satire. The movie takes the "business-knows-best" and "government should be run more like a business" argument and shows what that would literally be like.

That main theme is great.

The score is also extremely good. Basil Poledouris was a master at his craft.

This film is based on what was happening in the 80s: in factories, workers were watching big machines with mechanical arms being carried in and taking their jobs.

Don't worry, Kenny always comes back like in South Park. He appears in the scene as one of the hostages in the Mayor office.😂

I love watching these guys get rendered speechless. It almost makes up for the rest of the reaction where all they do is talk about what DIDN’T happen or what THEY would have done differently.

Cam's "robot noises" sounded more like he was clearing his throat...lol "Hocking one up," as it were. Thanks for the reaction guys...

Imagine working in a coke factory and robocop breaks down the steal door and the first 20 seconds of bullets do notjing to him

Murphy gets one of the worst deaths in Hollywood History they fucking took him out like a mob boss

6:59 My older brother & I were watching this religiously in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 😂📼

It's nice when reactors see the deeper topics in a movie like this cause it's easy to gloss over the subtle commentary when you're distracted by the 80's gory action.

YESSSSSSS!!!! Cam & Zay are reacting to Robocop!!! I love it!!!

They actually started filming this movie in Dallas, TX. The scene where the gas station blows up was a practical effect, it was so big it blew out windows on buildings and got the production kicked out of the city, they finished filming in Pittsburgh, PA🤣

Morgan Freeman: "As it would turn out... Bobby could not fly."

You guys are going to love this.

Awesome reaction and always a pleasure to see you react to stuff us old farts went watching in the theater pretending to be older than we were to be able to sneak in. And kudos for you mentioning that Murphy is scared @20:55 . It's one of those many little moments that are so often overlooked (just like @23:09 when Murphy basically gives "the finger" to the IT cop in the server room telling himn what he is not allowed to do). In that moment where Lewis is confronting him with the fact, that he is Murphy, "Murphy" is still buried deep within what OCP constructed as the Robocop persona and the reailty of "Murphy" is at that point a threatening concept. Hence he actually takes a step back from Lewis, something he never really registered him doing in the whole movie. If you can, there are a few really good videos on the making-of and how Peter Weller created the iconic (and tbh perfectly fitting) movement of Robocop. Last point before I finish my geek-out about that movie andf something that was more obvious to a 1987 audience is, how out-of-character a lot of tha casting was. Nacy Allen at the time was known to be a beautiful nice girl character with long curly hair. Taking over the role as this badass, no-nonsense cop, the actress just cut her iconic hair of (something she had no issues with as she wanted the role but her agent was not so thrilled about). Equally so the casting of Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker, who really nailed it as this love-to-hate sleazeball.

The "baby food" is just raw applesauce. It turns brown if not treated with citric acid.

Masterpiece of a movie.

2 minutes into this reac and all I can say is holy shit, you boys have NO IDEA what you’re about to see! 😂

"when you get to the gates of hell!" LOL!

This movie has so much testosterone in it! 😅 Great to see ya, guys!

Yeah when you get punched by a Cyborg you're pretty much dead 😂😂

Okay you two are of one of favorite channels so much fun watching the movies with you boys! Great job and thanks for the laughs ! 😂😂

RobertCop appreciates your compliance, Citizens Zam & Cay.

I about shit myself laughing when you said break his arm..... 🤣

This is one of my favorite movies. I was born in '81, so I've seen visual effects go from silly to amazing (to silly again in my opinion with a lot of CGI). One of the things I find impressive about this film is that, not unlike The Terminator, this is a concept that could have been a really stupid "B movie" in the hands of a lesser director with a cast that didn't take it seriously. As far as the sequels go (no spoilers): RoboCop 2 has some good stuff in it, commenting on sequels in a meta way, before meta was a thing. But it did lack the depth of the original, leaning more toward a "popcorn" flick. Give it a watch, but keep your expectations in check. 6.5 out of 10 RoboCop 3 is not good. It's probably the steepest decline in quality I can think of in a sequel. Give it a watch if you like, but only as a curiosity of how quickly it can go from zero to fucked. 2 or 3 out of 10. RoboCop Remake... um... shit. A remake can't be the same or what's the point? But it can't be too different, or why are you doing it at all. The bones of a decent remake exist and there are a few scenes that make it worth watching, but unfortunately it follows the path of what the original could have been if the studio interfered too much. It's not awful, certainly better than part 3, but save for a few hard-hitting scenes, it feels like an overly safe modern blockbuster. 6 out of 10.

Cam's gag reflex makes Peter Jackson's Dead Alive (Brain Dead) a must watch for you both. It's a fun movie but so gory that it literally killed my appetite for three days. Think if it as a joint Reaction/Endurance Trial.

Hi Cam & Zay!🙂They had to build a freight elevator to get the ED-209 down to the ground floor.😄Yes, the Dick Jones building shot was not great. This film is part of the Paul Verhoeven unofficial trilogy of futuristic violent films. The other two films are "Total Recall" (1990) and "Starship Troopers" (1997). Verhoeven's style of film making is evident in the other two films, too.😉Robocop 2 is not bad, but the other Verhoeven films are better. Nice reactions to the original Robocop film, Guys!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

38:21 "Murphy who?" "Murphy Stairwalker."

I'm 77 and found you two to have an unexpected great sense of humor. I was forced to subscribe. I only have one movie for you that no one has reacted to and it's one that I watch once a year. It's a fantasy western unlike anything else. "Purgatory" (1999) with Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. You won't ever forget it.

I've always been amused by the moment when the ED-209 robot shoots off his arm, and then within a few seconds the robot shakes and gets a short circuit from the pain 😆 29:29

"You'e not gonna take the criminal...with you?" LMAO, the gods already took him to the afterlife.

(About Mr Kinney)... "Oh my God, he's gonna get vaporized!" Yup.

I was 12 when this came out, and had to wait for the VHS to be available... had a sleepover at a friend's hose and his folks had a petrol station with a video rental section, so naturally we got this as soon as we could and watched it in amazement, using the blurry freeze-frame to catch Emil's skull rolling over the bonnet as he gets liquified. It's so great to see the next gen enjoying these 80s gems!

I really can't wait to see if they do starship troopers now

Hell of a film right there😀😲, my lil brother threw up at the toxic waste skin guy 😂😂 aah pure gold

You have to remember that this hyper-violent R-rated movie was targeted at children in the 80's. Not only were toys from the movie made by Kenner, but also there was a spin-off Saturday Morning Cartoon. We children of the 80's were raised differently, for sure.

80's movies are so good

I saw this at 7 years old in theaters. It immediately became my favorite thing ever. The 80s was just.... different..

I saw it when I was 6yro. It's my favorite movie, my comfort movie, I adore it. The violence was never a problem, thankfully I'm an 80s kid.

He said his kid wants him to do the gun twirling when he was doing the gun twirling before he died so yeah he was having flashbacks of his family before he died.

The kid in the gas station runs out right before it explodes (he even has his books).

Oh, hell yeah! Robocop is classic.

the director also did Starship Troopers, Total Recall, and Showgirls all random

Robocop 2 is even more wild..!!

I approve this movie! :)

The main reason RoboCop doesn't kill Clarence Bodeker during the drug bust is because it would've been considered murder. He was unarmed and everyone he killed up till that point, had either a gun in their hand. The would be rapist had a knife so he maimed him, but didn't kill him. Emile was fleeing the scene, but wasn't an immediate threat, so he shot the motorcycle instead of him. The only time he spares an armed assailant is when the henchman pulls a gun on him in the club. He doesn't shoot him because he needs to interrogate him for Clarence's whereabouts.

verisimilitude ---- ver·i·si·mil·i·tude ---the appearance of being true or real. "the detail gives the novel some verisimilitude". Words have power, THIS is why English teachers always want us to expand our vocabulary. There is always a word that says what you want to say better.

Best film of the’80. A great action movie, a great satire, outstanding villains, and a fantastic protagonist’s character arc. A perfect 10.

That was definitely a fun one! You even surprised me with your scores, but I agree. It may not be “top tier cinema”, but it’s very high up there for this type of movie. I love how it surprises new viewers, not only with the graphic nature, but also with how sly it can be with its satire. Okay, you two, stay out of trouble. Well, maybe not _completely_ out of trouble. What fun would that be?

You nearly got the prediction at the start in terms of toxic waste. Your reaction was funny with Emil getting melted 😂

Cam really sacrafices himself for our entertainment, we appreciate it. Great movie, I think the special / practical effects still stand up almost 40 years later. I suggest watching at least the first sequel, there were several direct to video movies in the mix that can be missed. I'd also recommend watching the Death Battle of Robocop Vs. Terminator (or was it Terminator Vs. Robocop). Excellent reaction, very enjoyable, thanks for taking time to watch and share this with all of us.

First video I've seen of you two, and I gotta say: You're mad funny! Subbed!

"Donations may be given to Cecil" - "as usual". Those last two words say a lot in setting the stage for the story. Paul Verhoeven: Single handedly keeping the squib manufacturers in business. This looks to be your first Paul Verhoeven reaction although you may have seen others. Many consider this the first of the unofficial 'Verhoeven Trilogy' with Total Recall and Starship Troopers being the others. Welcome to the club.

Loved this movie.

Lol I was waiting for Cam to gag when they hit the acid melty dude with the car and he exploded in that gooey mess. 😂

This is one of the best 80’s movies and Clarence Boddicker is one of the greatest villains ever. “Bitches leave.”😂😂

"Bitches leave!" the two greatest words in cinema history

Wow , it's great that you actually watched the uncensored version !

Masterpiece. My favorite movie of all time. "Jensen, Yamaha.. YOU pick the heart!" You can NOT replace the heart of the movie like they tried, that of Alex Murphy, the ideal cop.

Do robocop II. A movie where a cyborg learns to love again.

Robocop is an amazing movie. Peter Weller did a Q/A after screening the movie a few years back " Video is on KZfaq", but they had so many problems filming this movie, amazing it was made.

Nice reaction! One of my favorite 80s movies. On your points regarding Lewis, personally, I think the film used her just enough. I liked the little partnership chemistry they built in just their limited scenes prior to him becoming Robocop. Most movies would overplay it or try to push something more and glad this film didn't go there. Not necessarily romance but just sidetracking the film for the sake of unnecessary melodrama. Glad they didn't do that. The film's focus was solely on Murphy and him slowly regaining his humanity, so we follow him on his lone mission of revenge and rebirth.

38:11 Yeah, when he fell from that window with those spaghetti arms is still cringe after all of these years lol. You'd think they'd have touched that up a bit especially since it's one of the last shots of the film.

Robo reminds me of the line from Running Scared. "You have the right to remain... dead. You have the right to a coroner. If you cannot afford one we will appoint a medical examiner for you."

I totally forgot about the acid 🥴🤢 Great reaction Cam and Zay 😊

Yall had me at "Bro he (ED-209) even moves like a backrooms monster". He's my favorite robot of all time. I watched this movie when I was like 7 and even had the toys.. Yalls commentary is on point! Subbed Funny how yall made a joke about ED-209 leaving a trail of bodies everywhere but that's what Robocop ended up doing lol

Your commentary had me in tears laughing 🤣🤣🤣 Great movie. One of my all time favourites.

You were right about the gun, it's an Beretta 93R with some type of compensator on it, and for some reason the 93r is called M93 in CoD (probably copyright reasons)

"I'm sure it's just a glitch" 🤣🤣🤣

One of the funniest satires of the 80’s. Watch Starship Troopers soon!

Great reaction, interpretation and appreciation for this iconic movie. The graphic violence and the brilliant practical effects are so well executed, and combined with an excellent storyline and screenplay.

What I really appreciate is that you talk about it for a long time after the film. This is rare, but you are very engaged which makes your reactions and train of thought very informative. Do you do anything along these lines professionally? It's really fun to watch and listen to.

I would recommend an earlier movie of Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension, yes that's the complete title. Also has Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Clancy Brown, great cast.

I saw this movie when I was kid when it first came out. It was the most violent movie I’d ever seen. I was never allowed to watch rated R movies. It kinda freaked me out lol. I think my older brothers took me.
