So I think that Robocop's one of the greatest movies of all time. Everything about this film works well and it balances brilliant satirical comedy alongside its tragic story of a man made into a machine. Throughout this video we're gonna be going through the entire film scene by scene to talk about all the cool little details in it and also some of the things that you might have missed whilst watching it.
There's so much to love about the movie but originally this wasn't an easy sell. That was primarily due to the films name which was seen as being extremely stupid. American directors were turning it down left and right and thus the script was sent further afield to Paul Verhoven.
Initially he hated it too and the story goes that he read a couple of pages of the scripts, thought it was ridiculous and then threw it away.
However his wife picked it up and read through the entire thing and she managed to convince him that there was a great comedic undertone to the entire thing that she thought he'd be perfect for.
And so it begain with Verhoven jumping onboard the project to make it what's arguably his masterpiece.

Not really sure if I'm the only one who noticed this, but Murphy actually retains his driving habits as well - back when Murphy "breaks in" his new partner, he purposely speeds up the ramp in such a way that the exhaust pipe scrapes the ground, leaving sparks.

Robocop had THE ending to THE film. He states his name when asked with a smirk and it just cuts to credits with that awesome song playing in the back.

Great video! Probably my favourite film of all time. First watched when I was 10/11 and the violence was so brutal, and seen it about 50 times since! As I get older the more nuanced scenes hit me harder, like the gas station scene when Robo confronts Emile and the realisation from both of them that they've already met is absolutely masterful. And the scene when he returns home, the music is just exquisite. Also it was criminal that Kurtwood Smith was overlooked for any acting awards that year, his portrayal of Boddicker is just pure evil. Surprised what wasn't mentioned is in the shooting range, Robo shoots off the arm of the target and then the body and then the head, just like when Murphy was murdered by the gang. Also spawned the RoboCop Rap which is one of the best things on KZfaq

I never knew about the body paint/thermal imaging thing. That's cool. Old school prop departments got hellaciously creative back in the day. The muzzle flashes from the weapon arms on the ED-209 was actually cotton balls pulled out to elongate and thin them out and grain of wheat light bulbs inside the model's arm. They matted out the rest of the scene from the flashes and synchronized it with the rest of the stop motion animation. The final composite looks pretty convincing when run at normal speed. The prop guys also made jokes about the really quick and dirty wiring they did for the model for the bulbs and how they shocked themselves multiple times. I miss the days before CGI took over everything.

But every single thing works in this movie, it's NEVER boring, juzt the right amount of funny at just the right time ("Dick; I'm VERY disappointed in you" after a guy has been turned into crushed whole tomatoes for Sunday sauce 😅😅😅).... but the music, and that ending, smh......it's the nowadaya wayyyy overused CHEF'S KISS in movie endings.... Sad thing is, no matter how many millions of people have seen this movie, there's probably more who not only haven't, but probably refuse to, thinking it's stupid and shit... Ps--- I saw this movie, along with many MANY other movies deemed rough for a norrmal young teen/pre-teen, but it was right up my alley, being a pretty messed up kid lol---- and though I often "used" toxic waste when playing with my gi Joe's and stuff, the toxi waste Emil, ugh...I hadbto close my eyes when he's crossing the road and gets goo-ified. 😅😅😅 There's something about freaks and ghouls in day time....gassyccaavkakcla.... gives me shivers

Great video and nice breakdown! It is on of my all time favorite movies! Some references you have missed in this video: In the news report it is stated that Clarence was sought in connection to the deaths of 31 police officers. Frank Fredrickson would be nr. 32 and Murphy nr. 33. Obviously another subtle Jesus reference. When Lewis confronts RoboCop after his "dream", she tells him: "Murphy, it's you!". Later, when she comes to his rescue at the OCP shootout, she resonates this, exclaiming: "Murphy, it's me!". Imo, another example of this kind of resonance (or foreshadowing in this particular case) is when Emil runs into a parked car with his motor cycle, and in the end scene he is ran over by a moving car and splattered because of the toxic waste. Furthermore, in my mind RoboCop's heart, that is stabbed by Clarence in the final scenes, has always been the "Yamaha Sports Heart" advertised in the beginning of the movie 🤣 First saw this movie about 30 years ago, when I was 11, and I've seen it maybe about a hundred times by now, but I still keep catching new references and easter eggs everytime.

I always thought the spear through the chest was another Jesus reference, not a vampire reference (a Roman soldier speared Jesus in the chest while he was still on the cross to make sure he was dead), but those religious .... er ... Easter eggs were completely unnecessary to me. This movie works so well on so many other levels, and has so many layers to it - it's just brilliant through and through. I actually thought the recent remake wouldn't have been bad if you considered it on its own, but it just doesn't hold a candle to the original. Great job on this video, by the way. Couple of things I'd add: it's brilliant that Murphy's just a low-level beat cop (not a detective, like he was in the remake) because that makes him a "small cog in the big machine" of law-enforcement, and then OCP turns him into a literal component of an actual law-enforcement machine. Also, I love the way this movie keeps it ambiguous whether Robocop actually is Murphy restored to life, or whether "it" is just a machine that's started to think it's human because it can read the leftover memories of its organic component ... Food for thought.

I first saw this as a kid in the 80s, had a toy of his, and loved it for how silly it was. When I revisited it in high school, around the time Starship Troopers came out, I realized the brilliance of it. You can see a lot of similarities in the way Starship Troopers and Robocop are presented. Would you like to know more?

@eyespy3001 Жыл бұрын

Despite the fact that I hate when people try to lump different movies into the same “universe,” Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers could very well fit into the same universe as being different stories set during different time periods. Major credit to Verhoeven for underpinning these popcorn action flicks with master strokes of satire.

@motojunkie8348 Жыл бұрын

I also watched it as a kid (born in 82) and I always assumed it was just another cartoonish movie filled with violence but after watching this I can see that's far from the truth. I absolutely love Starship Troopers so I'll have to give this a rewatch.

Paul Verhoeven is one of the most underrated directors of his time. So much of his work just went completely over people's heads. They would say he glorified violence and was pro fascist... not understanding his parody is a negative comment of the direction society was going in. If you watch Robocop and are like "Hell ya! That was awesome!..." then you're probably part of the problem... That's the mirror that pretty much all Verhoeven movies attempt to hold up to the audience.

Appreciate your detailed review of this multi-layered film. The world-building is just so amazing ("I'd buy that for a dollar!"). However, for me, Verhoeven's ultimate masterpiece was Starship Troopers, produced a full decade later...more mature in many ways than this one (and more nuanced, evidenced by how many idiots completely misunderstood it), plus the special effects hold up much better (not surprisingly) almost 30 years later.

@surferdude4487 Жыл бұрын

I was disappointed by Starship Troopers. They did it as satire instead of doing the story straight. And they left out the main stars of the book, the powered armour suits.

@GoldenWolf115 9 ай бұрын

@@surferdude4487 I actually really enjoy both for what they are. I still can't forgive Verhoeven for not reading the book and for some reason believing it's fascistic, and I also think he missed the mark by saying his film critiques fascism. The society in the book and the film aren't without their flaws, but they are not fascistic. Still, how cool it would have been to see those suits, as opposed to the crap we get in one of the sequels.

My absolute favourite movie of all time.. It has everything! I did read once that when Murphy dies, the screen goes black and stayed that way for 3 mins or something. The idea being is that is the time it takes for the brain to completely die. Test audiences started to leave however as they thought that was the end of the movie.. so they cut it down. That's really funny to me :D

This was my childhood. But I haven't seen it in so long. This is a great video man, its rife with nostalgia and now I wanna watch it again. Its probably underrated as an actual movie and what the commentary if the story is, because it's typically seen as a gory action movie.

Back in the day, when ITV showed RoboCop, they edited out/replaced the swear words... "Once I even called him Asshole" was replaced with "Once I even called him Airhead" and "Die you Bastard" was replaced with "Die you Blaggard".... Also when they aired Die Hard, the infamous line became "Yippee Ki Yay Kemo Sabe"
