The thing that always struck me as funny about this movie is that the ED-209 at the end was going to go full metal over a parking violation. There's no middle ground with that 'bot.

For older people like me, when watching the 70s show 'Hey that's the bad guy from RoboCop!'. Younger generation watching RoboCop for the first time 'Hey that's Red from the 70s show!'

It’s something about these older movies that are so much better than todays

The medical team trying to save Murphy sound very realistic for a good reason - they *are* a real medical staff. The director wanted the scene to be genuine so he paid an off-duty ER team to come in and treat him like they would a real gunshot victim.

"Bitches leave" are the 2 greatest words in cinema history!

The idea of Robocop defines what kind of hero is needed in Old Detroit and other cities in peril. The human spirit cannot be broken, torn away and defeated by the corruption that stands before it. A summer blockbuster, social satire and hyper-crime action thriller that indeed blew away the masses. Box office smash and winner of an Academy Award for Best Sound Design. One of the first-ever Rated-R properties to transition into multiple mediums. From film to television, live action & animated as well they were toys, video games, comics and more. The much-anticipated Robocop:Rogue City harkens back to what made this first film so memorable. "The Future of Law Enforcement" was the tagline. This film surely was ahead of it's time.

The Nuke 'Em commercial has always been a favorite. "Get them before they get you!" is an important lesson for the whole family.

Not only an amazing Legendary classic but as its been said before it truly is a perfect movie : )

"I'd buy that for a dollar" 😉

28:05 one of the explosions in the scene was more powerful than anticipated and singed some of the costumes’ fabric on the actors. The actors were given stunt pay which motivated some of the actors find more ways to get closer to more explosions 😂

I was born in 79’ so figure out how old I was when this came out. My older sister and I tricked our mom into taking us to a late movie. We knew this was the only one showing. She had no idea what it was about. She was expecting a Star Wars like movie. 😂👍🏾

I showed this to my older cousin on VHS forgetting that he didn’t have cable or see movies. Over 20 years later he told me that the guy melting and spattered on the windshield traumatized him. 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

Murphy wasn't that hard to kill at the beginning, he was just wearing body-armor Murphy/Robo isn't an AI. His brain is still inside, which is used like a massive hard drive, but Murphy is still in the parts that weren't destroyed by the bullet to his head, which is why Robo is able to fight against the programming at times, due to his own personal morals. It is a main reason he is the only successful good one.

One of my favorites of all time. Top 5 80s movie all day. I was born in 83 n one of my earliest memories is walking in the video store n seeing the big cardboard cutout of RoboCop n Freddy Krueger. Great times lol. I recorded this off the TV when it premiered on HBO lol never forget sitting on the floor in front of the TV n watching it

I always liked how Dick Jones says “I’m number two around here” while they’re in the bathroom. 😁 Speaking of #2, I hope you’ll react to the sequel as well!

Trivia: Robo's pistol is called the "Auto-9". Ammo for it is fed through his hand from a reserve supply in his arm (if I'm remembering correctly), and enough for a magazine's worth from his leg. There's also a Robocop game that just came out, based on the original trilogy.

Leo reacting to Robocop? I'd buy that for a dollar!

Dude, you'd love all Paul Verhoeven, Robocop, Starship troopers, Total Recall. Pure cheese and gore 😅

30:32 "he about to run into an ED-209 down there? we know how to beat these guys, find some stairs!" lol 🤣

I like that Detroit adopted RoboCop so much that they are putting up a statue in the city.

When the emil got all messed up by the toxic waste, the actor with the back hair was not told about how emils actor would look. So when he turned the corner to see emil all mutant and flesh melting off his body look "all practical effects btw" and he scream "AHHH GET OFF ME MAAN!!!!" It was an actual genuine reaction. He had no idea he was gonna look like that and it freaked him the F out.

"A paramedic?! You need to call the morgue!!" 😂😂

Robocop, Predator, Aliens, Empire strikes back, The Goonies, Back to the future, Big trouble in litte China, Blade Runner, Nightmare on Elm st, Commando, Terminator, Starfighter, Platoon, Full metal jacket, The Hitcher, Evil Dead II and more the 80's was the best decade for movies

ED209 was nightmare fuel for my younger self. For real, that thing scared the sh1t out of me until I was like 15. I thought every garage was going to open at night and ED209s would be pouring out.

I just discovered this channel a couple days ago, Robocop's my favorite movie to watch of all time, and I'm so happy to see you reacting to it.

Facts: That scene where Murphy grabs the keys when he is first deployed as RoboCop at the station took so many takes due to the rubber on his hands bouncing the keys off multiple times! During the scene where RoboCop shoots out in the factory, Peter Weller (who plays Murphy/RoboCop) was listening to Red Rain by Peter Gabriel on his Walkman during filming to be in the mood.

Hearing you say Murphy built different killed me, cuz you right, he really is built

4:17 - The look on your face is priceless. I saw this in theaters when I was a kid when it first came out. I was 9. I somehow convinced my grandmother to take me to see it. It was amazing to see then and it is still an amazing film now.

My young boy! No disrespect, I'm 57 and a fan. This was a HUGE movie when it came out in 87. If you liked this, Starship Troopers needs to be on your list.

The actor who played Murphy also played in an 80's movie called Buckeroo Bonzai...thats another serious trip.

Thank you for this one really this is my childhood 😂 😢

Leo, if you want to watch some more cult classic action movies I can suggest; * Conan the Barbarian (1982 original) * Demolition Man * The Warriors (Theatrical Cut)

clarance bodiker is up their in my list of most iconic villans guy has a hairline that would make goku blush and still commands a presence

I was in my teenage years in the 80s, and watching this and all the other great 80s action/Sci Fi films, was just an fantastic experience. Absolutely fabulous memories I have of that time watching all those other 80s films including Running Man, Rambo First Blood Part 2, Predator, Commando, Die Hard etc. What an fabulous time it was to be an teenager back then...

Robocop is one of my favorite movies! It was the first R rated movie I saw. I spent the night at my friend's house and after his parents went to sleep we snuck into the living room and watched it. Ah, good times!

So the house he visits after getting his memory back was my sisters! I am very proud of her having been the architect of that house..it is located in a suburb of Dallas TX

If you have not yet this is time for Total Recall (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

There is a great visual joke when Robo arrests Clarence - he doesn't hit a man with glasses 🤓 he hits glasses with a man 🤣🤣🤣

@4:16. Is the exact reaction I have seen on countless of people for this scene Lmao

Ohhhh Heellll, Yesssss! This movie. My parents didn't know how violent it was, And let me see it when I was like. 7 or 8. I'll never forget that lol. All by lonesome lil kid with my cereal and toys.

Lewis is a badass cop. Love to see how she regulated before she met Murph / Robo. Kurtwood Smith (Clarence) is a TREMENDOUS actor. He's so good at being a nonsense guy.

OK; Robocop never tires, has a literal photographic memory, and his face and robo-penis is all kinds of bulletproof. One thing RoboCop apparently can’t do, however, is walk down stairs. Mask and suit restricted Peter Weller’s movements so much that he found it exceptionally difficult to walk down stairs. But he can still kick ass. The clip og ED-209 falling down the stairs, so pay attention to the last few seconds. If you watch carefully you’ll see Weller very clearly break character and move in a very un-robot-like fashion down the stairs while holding onto the railing before the shot abruptly cuts. This means that just like ED-209, RoboCop also struggled with stairs, lol...Thanx Me. V. Stay groovy, Peace

LEO: ROBOCOP IS THE 1ST OF A GREAT (PAUL VERHOEVEN - DIRECTOR) TRILOGY, YOU GOTTA SEE ALL OF THEM, THEY'RE GREAT! #2 IS "TOTAL RECALL" & #3 IS "STARSHIP TROOPERS" 😉

That moment when you show this movie to a younger person, who's grown up watching That 70s Show, and it clicks that the dad on the show played one of the best 80s villains.

😆 @29:16 when dude crashed into the toxic waste F'd me up as a kid...🤣

Aaahhh, Leooo!!! First off, I love that you did Robocop! Robocop became a cult classic when it hit VHS. Yes, VHS. DVDs wouldn’t come around for quite some time. For fun, you have got to hear the song “Robo Cop” by Sleeze Boyz. This song hit the dance clubs after the movie came out. It has lines from the movie intercut with a rap/hip hop dance beat. In fact, the dance move Robocop was created because of this song. It’s a lot of fun.

27:50 Funny, the kickback on those firearms is DEFINITELY not a "shoot from the hip" type of discharge. They'd all be a couple of shoulderless deaf criminals wishing they could buy some sense next time for a dollar.

Yo it makes me happy seeing you react to this. One of my all time favorite movies and one of the greatest movies of all time. RoboCop was one of my favorite heros. Cant wait to play the game.

I just watched this for the 1000 th time . I love Robo! ❤

Welcome to the world of Paul Verhoeven. Ultra violence, social commentary and, satire all rolled into one. It's not that uncommon. Especially back then, but the soundtrack by Basil Poledouris imo elevated this movie. Everything just works in this movie.

Yes. That's Kurtwood Smith. He played Alicia Silverstone's father in The Crush(1993).

I would love to do a RoboCop cosplay, down to the opening thigh compartments and sliding gun holsters, but that would be time consuming and expensive to replicate.

The "I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!" scene is awesome, and it has a funny story. Orion Pictures funded the original film for 22 million dollars. When the executives came to see the set and see what they were paying for, Paul was filming the in-universe TV segments. They saw the "I'd buy that for a dollar!" filming and became incredibly worried. They were convinced they were throwing 22 million dollars in the garbage. Paul had to have a meeting with them and explain what they'd seen and it's just a funny story all around. But they almost pulled the plug! Glad they didn't!

The editing style was top tier

I saw this at the theater when I was 12... GenX parents DGAF.

This is one of the best 80s sci-fi/action moves, dripping with satire and sarcasm, and this from a decade of many worthy contenders for the title! I first saw this when I was about 9 years old and ever since I’ve been trying (sadly unsuccessfully) to make that sound when I open doors, like at 12:42.

This movie does not get enough credit as a classic! Clicked on as soon as I saw the movie! Been here for awhile now, keep up the work G!

Yay... you finally found the quintessential 80's vibe movie

Truly awesome movie, and in multiple ways. It’s a great sci-fi action film, but it’s also a great drama, dark comedy and satire, with many layers to the main character and also the many different themes in the film related to social commentary, and this is especially the case more than thirty years after the film first came out, since many of the things the movie points out have either actually happened by now or are very close to happening. This film was very much ahead of its time and is one of the best.

Murphy was wearing a Kevlar vest for body armor. Shotguns are less effective at penetrating Kevlar armor. That is why he was able to cling to life until he got airlifted to the hospital.

"Look how he's walking. He's a robot, I get it!" Lol.

Dude it was so fun watching this with you. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Peter Weller will always be MY Robocop. No one can ever replace him. Peter Weller is simply amazing. He's so amazing in fact Robocop Rogue City a newly released video game is now on track to being rated as one of the greatest licensed video games of all time. I can't wait to become Murphy and experience the streets of detroit through his eyes.

"Find some stairs" XD The best joke i've ever read on ED 209

Thank you for launching straight into the review without any preamble.

Can you believe they had a Saturday morning cartoon based off this ? Lol

You should REALLY watch Buckaroo Banzai soon! "Murphy" is the lead actor in it, except he's Buckaroo.

One of the greatest movies of all time. Didn't need a sequel. Just perfect.

Peter Weller returned as Robocop for the new Robocop game released couple days ago

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!" Fun Fact: For the attempted rape scene, writer Edward Neumeier originally had RoboCop shoot past the victim's cheek, hitting and killing the rapist. While getting ready to shoot the scene as scripted, Paul Verhoeven noticed that Donna Keegan's legs were spread apart, giving him the idea to have RoboCop shoot between her legs and hit the rapist in the genitals. Edward Neumeier loved the idea and that was how the scene was shot. Also, this is how a action film should be, 102 minutes just telling a story with no filler. Instantly quotable and doesn't treat its audience like fools and it's one of the greatest action films ever made. Plus, the legends Rob Bottin and Phil Tippett doing proper special effects... I'd buy that for a dollar!

Trivia: - NO one Robocop shot was wrongful. Every person he shot in "Defense" even end battle, he announced his presence - The Infrared thermograph scene at city hall wasn't IR, nude actors coated in colored paint in a black room, a real IR camera cost too much to use for mere seconds of footage - OCP headquarters was a matte painting over bottom of Dallas City Hall. - The RoboCop suit was so hot and heavy that Peter Weller was losing 3 lbs a day from water loss. Eventually, an air conditioner was installed in the suit.

Classic film that me and my boys loved back in Summer 1987. We had never seen a movie like this. Straight badass, but still smart.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" "Bitches leave!" Two of the best lines in this classic gem.

The social commentary and anti-corporate corruption messaging is incredible. You think about it. The villain has the ability to provide military weaponry to a hoodlum to advance his goals. And those goals are the reduction of crime to make it easier to essentially buy and privatize the city of Detroit. But if they have those kind of resources, why not provide them to the cops so they can more effectively fight crime? Answer: Because the company can't make money doing it that way.

I was too young the first time I saw this movie. I had nightmares about the dude melting from the acid for a few months 🫤😜✌️

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

"Murphys the first AI, this is from the 80s" I think that'd probably be HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) or AM (I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream). Those are from the late 60's.

I was just thinking about this movie today! Great film so happy you're watching it

I love this scene! I have always been amused by the moment when robot ED-209 shoots off his arm, and then for a few seconds the robot shakes and gets short-circuited from pain 🤖⚡😆24:24

i love Robocop reactions you can always tell what version of the film they're watching from Kinney's death hahaha

Most of it was shot in Dallas TX because the director saw how the city looked at night and it reminded him of blade runner. Also being tx is probably how they whole cowboy angle with murphy came up in the beginning.

I was born in 1986 and watched this Movie as a kid, it made me want to become a Cop but I suffered a Traumatic Head Injury when I was 16 and that changed my plans. COOL REACTIONS MAN, my Apology if you wanted comments staying at 169, that's what it was when I commented this. ROCK AND ROLL BRO!

Robocop es una obra de arte adelantada a su tiempo. Saludos Mr. Video desde Lima Perú.

Yes, you're absolutely right about Kurtwood Smith being the grouchy dad on That '70s Show. He's such a hard-working, high-energy actor, he's been in about one gazillion TV shows and movies. I can't even keep track of it all!

Great reaction/watch along!!!! Glad you enjoyed the movie. ✌️

Great movie. Classic action movie

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! My favorite movie of all TIME!!!!!

Loved this growing up! The first cut was so bloody and brutal that it caught an X rating. Great timing too, a great looking Robocop game just dropped, playing it now lol, well..... I paused it when I got the notification so.. Stay you Leo! On a side note do you ever plan on finishing The Last Airbender...

Mr. Video, your reactions have come so far with movies vs music...

I was looking forward to your reaction to the 'bitches leave' line. Damn, you glossed over it

I saw this upload on telegram. It was even better.

Paul McCrane was a great bad guy as Emil. But the first time I saw him in a movie was in the 1980 film FAME. McCrane was wonderful as a very sensitive gay character with an amazing singing voice. It was so weird seeing him as this sadistic villain Emil. Extremely talented actor, and singer with great range.

I like the way you just dropped into the reaction. It works, tight. Great reaction dude.

23:33 😂😂😂Cam and Mase gonna git ya

He said " I always wanted to be in this kind of meeting" 😂😂

My name is also Richard Jones, but that guy's a Dick. Jokes aside, this is one of my childhood staples. I watched this so many times.

Masterpiece of a movie. I first saw this movie when I was 11 yo. I turned into a man instantly.

"They'll fix you, they fix everything."

I was in college back when this came out. We used to go to dances and do the Robocop. Look it up.

Oh my god. Kenny dresses as ED-209 in South Park! How did I never catch that he iced "Kinney" in Robocop?
