He recognized him because he said," Dead or alive, you are coming with me".

80's movie violence hits different.

28:34, the woman who played Dick Jones’s secretary is Kurtwood Smith’s wife in real life. They met on the set of this movie and have been married with kids ever since. So she did fit him in after all.

The guy at the gas station remembered what he said "Dead or alive you're coming with me"! Not because he recognizes him! So many people seem to get it wrong! 🙄

You guys were talking, or else you would have heard that Robo said, 'Dead or alive you're coming with me'. that's how the guy recognized him.

Robocop is one of the best satires ever made.

The villain at the petrol station recognised RoboCop because he used the same line from earlier when he first met him “dead or alive you are coming with me.”

Here's the thing, I actually think it hits harder when Robocop says "I can feel them, but I can't remember them". Because the audience knows about as much about Murphy's family as he does. They (OCP) really DID take everything from Murphy to turn him into Robo. His flesh, his mind, his family, even his memories, and almost even took what was left of his humanity too. I mean imagine KNOWING that you had something incredibly dear to you, taken away so thoroughly that you don't even have any traces of it left, not even a memory of it, just the knowledge that you lost it.

I love the shot when they zoom in on Robocop's eye during the ED 209 fight. It reinforces there's a human still inside that machine. Well that's my interpretation.

the movie in essence is about reclaiming your humanity/ressurection just in a science fiction setting. The movie has no fat on it.

Yep. Red Foreman got tired of Eric's crap, moved to Detroit, changed his name and became a crime lord....

Backup was never meant to appear. OCP restructured the police department to promote candidates for the RoboCop project. Mentioned by Bob Morton to The Old Man but easily brushed over

I maintain that Clarence Boddicker may be one of the coolest characters in all of cinema, villain or otherwise. You just can't help but like him and root for him because he's a complete slimeball who 100 percent knows it. He's the bad guy and he's accepted it and he's having the time of his life (except when he has to reap what he sows).

One thing this movie definitely proved is that you DEFINITELY don't want Red Foreman's foot up your rear.

It was a shame they made the new RoboCop PG-13, it was doomed to fail from there.

Rob reacting to the back of his eyelids per usual.

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!!!!" the greatest line from this -or any 80s movie!

Put respect on this movie, it's the goat. Part 2 is excellent too, but don't touch Part 3.

I would argue that RoboCop should have remained a stand alone film, without any sequels. For starters, RoboCop 2 has him acting like a machine again, dismissing the whole point of this movies ending - getting his humanity back. The third movie doesn't even have the original actor, and was essentially a 90's TV network movie.

19:43 The bad guy at the gas station recognized Murphy when he used his "Dead or alive you're coming with me" line, the same one he said at the warehouse.

One of the most iconic 80s movie so goated 💯💯

It was the line "Dead or Alive, youre comming with me !" that made the motorcycle guy realize that .... they had already killed Robocop once before ! 🤪

6:30 Emil: What are you, crazy, man?! Clarence: *shows Emil that he is not crazy and, in fact, a totally sane and nonviolent human being*

I just don’t agree with putting modern day effects into an older film whether it’s remastered or not. When I watch films from the 70s or 80s I want to see effects from the 70s or 80s. look what George Lucas did with Star Wars throwing in random CGI creatures or characters that don’t fit at all with the other effects used in the film.

34:47 "It's the eighties, it's the eighties." No. The arms were laughably bad even for the eighties.

Robocop's Auto-9 pistol is a Berretta 93-R which was modified with a large flash hider and grips. The director wanted him to use a Desert Eagle, but it looked too small being carried by someone with large armor. The gun itself would appear again in Far Cry Blood Dragon, a DLC made as a love letter to 80s movies such as this. This is also one of the first appearances of the Barret M82 .50 Cal in media, as the Cobra Cannon

It was stop motion, not claymation. To be honest , I think a lot of movies today look terrible with CGI . It looks fake to me with the CGI like watching a video game and as far as Star wars when they added the extra stuff later on, that looked terrible too with jabba the Hut an episode 4, they should have just left that scene out.

27:44 the cops were trying to kill Robocop because he was a threat to their job security. Especially since they were getting ready to go on strike. Robo would've destroyed their bargaining power

Rob was asleep the entire movie lol

Actually, brothers, I think many (not all, of course) younger generations will appreciate the older effects (it's actually stop motion effects), as long as the story is genuinely good. And it's a way for future generations to look at it and appreciate how these old effects like in this movie paved the way for future effects. Example: Ray Harryhausen's films, like the 7th Voyage of Sinbad and the original Clash of the Titans, are still effective, and fondly looked upon today. Many People appreciate the wizardry of those old Claymation effects in those films. Some filmmakers make Claymation models to inform CGI renderings, imagine that. CGI is cool, but even it will date as well. The original Star Wars trilogy reissues have CGI effects that are looking rather wonky now, in my opinion. And the original theatrical prints of those Star Wars movies are rare now, because George Lucas wants people to just recognize the new editions, unfortunately. Also, I watched a very recent Marvel film, and the green screen renderings took me out of the movie because they looked so animated. One more thing: IMHO, even a modern effect like CGI blood doesn't psychologically hit as well as good ol' fashioned squibs, even for many modern audiences. If they were to, say, go in and replace this film's stop motion, who knows if they might get carried away and want to clean up other effects, like the bloody scenes. Trust me, you wouldn't want CGI blood to be inserted into a classic film like this.

The idea of Robocop defines what kind of hero is needed in places like Old Detroit. The human spirit cannot be broken, torn away and defeated by the corruption that stands before it. A summer blockbuster, social satire and crime action thriller that indeed blew away the masses. Also an Academy Award winner for Best Sound Design. One of the first-ever Rated-R properties to transition into multiple mediums. From film to live action & animated television, toys, video games, comics and more. Speaking of video games, putting him in Mortal Kombat 11 expansion:'Aftermath' (2020) and bringing him back to glory in Robocop:Rogue City (2023) harkens back to what makes the character so iconic. "The Future of Law Enforcement" was the tagline. This film surely was ahead of it's time.

Robocop the world needs you sense of justice, willing to oppose criminals and corpos.

Murphys death traumatized me as a kid.. im 36 and still hits hard.. never seen the "hero" die like that in a MSM action movie..

20:00 - "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" - That's what Murphy said to Emil when he arrested in the beginning of the movie and that's how he 'recognized' him

So fun fact the trauma team taking care of Murphy was an actual off duty trauma team the directo told them to act like they were taking care of a real headshot victim

I'd buy that for a dollar 🤑

Miguel Ferrer tells the funniest story about Director Paul Verhoven, and the “BitchesLeave” scene 😂 🎬

Storytelling is perfect IMHO. It makes sense that we don´t get much backstory about Murphy, he lost his memories, he lost everything, we discover his humanity with him. We don´t know much about him, his wife and son, but we know enough, the same as him. "I can feel them, but I can´t remember them."

They didn’t have time to build Murphy’s back story so they took the quick route and crucified him at the start

The commentary on Robocop isn't a story about a hero, which is why you don't get any backstory about Murphy as a person, it's about the dangers and evils of corporations and a dystopia about American society in response to crime and violence. Robocop is a perfect tragedy.

The first guy on the left had a poker face and a laid back posture. By the end of the movie, dude was on tbe edge of his seat with an intrigued face. Proof of a great movie!

I've watched these guys for a bit and what I like about them is they take the movies they watch at face value. Theyre not sitting there going "oh look these specials effects are so dated or look you can see the bad acting blah blah blah". They try to enjoy the movie for what it is and what time it came from. Thumbs up.

Robocop is also about the dream of medical technology suplying body parts wich were been loosed, even internal organs like the "Yamaha heart"

20:06 Because he said "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" for the second time. You guys would know that if you wouldn't yap over the dialogue.

The chunky salsa budget for this movie must have been off the charts.

I always hated the way they wrote in Lewis getting distracted at the steel mill. It makes viewers hate her, for looking at peen and getting Murphy killed. They could have written a better way to have her separated from Murphy. She was an excellent cop and they did her dirty in that scene.

i love the stop motion stuff. ED209 is awesome

This movie is way ahead of its time I seen this when I was a kid my parents rented it back in the day on vhs 📼 lol if they only knew how violent it was but a million times I’ve seen this and own it still it’s one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. I have figures like Murphy and ed209 and Robo cop 2 cane Robot also

Peter Weller played Robocop in the first two.

These guys need to see Conan the Barbarian with Arnold

The uncut version ED209 shoots him on the table as well. And Murphy shows his arm blown off by a shotgun.

I bet a million dollars they won't figure out how Emil knows RoboCop at the gas station. Edit: Told ya.

"Hey Dickie Boy.....How's tricks? I guess we're gonna be friends after all.............Richard. Best line of the movie.

19:57 Emile recognized murphy from the line "dead or alive, you're coming with me", same line murphy said in the factory to emile when he was 100% human

Re: 20:04 "How did he recognize him from the lips / from one encounter". Answer: Because, as you would have heard had you all been paying attention / listening instead of speaking over the dialog just before then, Robocop said "Dead or alive you are coming with me", and then the same "doo doo doo" mystery music began playing that also played when Robocop twirled his gun in front of Lewis earlier. That's the "I remember something" music in this movie, and it was because "Dead or alive you are coming with me" was the same line Murphy said to them before.

This movie is more relevant now than ever. Peter Weller did an amazing job. 🔥 Action, Heart, Satire, Revenge and guns, guns, guns......I like it!!!!!!!

Stop-Motion is the term used when the motion model is made without actual clay. Back in the King Kong and Ray Harryhausen days it was almost entirely done with clay. When they started using other materials like metal or plastic figures or whatever they just blanket, call it Stop-Motion. A lot of KZfaqrs are doing it now with action figures. Wish I had the patience to do that. 😂

A very Solid movie! The violence was immaculate for the time. I can't believe I used to watch this as a kid with my Dad 😂

"They killed Kenny"

One of the top 5 action legends of the 80's! First time somebody "..killed Kenny!" ;) "We've placed prime candidates according to risk factor..." Murphy's relocation was planned, and backup was knowingly withdrawn before they went into that building. He's a hotshot and a good cop, good build, his moral compass is in check, healthy, perfect height- ie: "..prime candidates.."

"Dead or alive, you are coming with me!"

“Dead or alive you are coming with me”….you all were talking when he said that during the gas station robbery scene….he recognized him bc that was the same thing Murphy said to him back In the first part of the movie when they all killed Murphy.

That dude on the far left that said, "that's gangsta" was definitely on the side of the villains lol

My man on the left needs a Power Nap. 😂

The "Old Man" and the black nerdy guy at OCP are the blueprint for Mr. Burns and Smithers in the Simpsons.

The black guy in the OCP boardroom is Felton Perry - he's great & been in loads of good stuff, he was even Clint Eastwood's partner in Magnum Force (a Dirty Harry film)

This movie was before "that '70s show" which means some casting director saw this movie and said "you know who we should get to play the dad? How about that psycho Crime Boss guy who killed RoboCop?"

20:00 "Death or alive, youre coming with me"8:15 19:49

I was just thinking of robocop and saw a robocop short This vid came right in time

20:00 recongized the phrase "dead or alive you're coming with me"

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. Maybe the gun holster is wishful thinking, but the outfit would be awesome.

😂 20:00 He knew it was him cause of what he said. "Dead or alive your coming with me" he said the same thing when he caught him earlier in the movie

20:49 I always thought that was funny until now it's even funnier because to me it's like he's saying F you to the guy

They’re watching the cut version, the uncut violent one’s much better.

guys adjust the volume balance between ur reaction and the movie...

4:05 ED-209 responded like most cops would would to an unarmed black person. 😏

Pre-robo-murphy basically only had some bruises to his torso area becasue of the vest, oh and the missing right shoulder and a bullet to your skull

what people often dont realize, after directive 4 was activated, all of murphy's software shut down, look how he moves before and after he wanted to arrest dick jones, after directive 4, murphy's brain took over the movements of his given body, that's why the stairs were the only option, where he covered his face, while the cops shot him, not knowing what he has become. and at the bottom of the parking lot, he met lewis, and he just reached out hoping to find a place of silence to think

19:47 that's a MAC-10, NOT an uzi both are completely different

Robocop was one of the baddest movies that came out in the 80s...I was right there in the Theater on opening day.

It wasn't exactly Claymation -- but Stop Motion using a model made out of different materials. Claymation is stop-motion filmmaking that uses clay. Same concept though. CGI is definitely smoother (usually!)

Sometimes you gotta appreciate the original because if you put yourself in a older generations shoes ppl attend to be appreciative to the original.

If you guys enjoyed Cyberpunk Edgerunners, this movie (like few more classic of this period like Bladerunner, Johnny Mnemonic, Ghost in the Shell - the anime etc.. etc..) defined what today we call the Cyberpunk genre.

I have noticed that in about 90% of Robocop reaction videos, most people miss the "Dead or Alive..." line. Most keep asking how Emil recognized him. I am not a fan of flashbacks, in movies, for things like that, but clearly it seems the audience is not retaining certain information anymore. 🤔

19:55 Actually, that’s an MAC-10, not an UZI.

Ahh my 80’s childhood one of the first hardcore action movies I seen I think I was 7 or 8 the first time I seen Robocop and it blew my little feeble mind and it’s crazy that in 2024 it still holds up . Would love to see I guys react to more 80’s and 90’s classics one I think u guys would love is “The Crow”

You would have known how the guy in the gas station recognised him if you all would shut up for 10 seconds.

The only time Robocop smiles: 35:00

It was stop motion Not claymation. I'm sure if you look try just a little more and look closer. You'll find more faults & imperfections, then share with the subscribers that follow, that a reactors experiences, would be more sufficient with ideal ways to revise & improve, Recreating a better quality of inventiveness, sharp intelligence & skillful references. Friends and I watching in a theater when released, noticed the Claymat-- Stop motion scenes just as the many reacto-- Critics pointed out. We simply wanted to enjoy, be entertained & escape the days concerns. . . Do reactors purposely examine the films too make notice of errors & what should have been done? If so, then I apologize for not knowing the intentions & objective.

Ironically, ED 209 acted exactly like a Detroit Cop.

There’s no fucking way in hell they haven’t seen Robocop.

Love this movie. They don't make action movies this good anymore.

Good movies in the 80s and 90s or a Pete classic for their era. Robocop is a masterpiece!!!

effing amazing film, if there's a special effect in existence, this film likely used it, even the elevator shots are done with effects to make them look more futuristic..a synthesizer was even used to make the opening doors sound, there's a 3 part mini-series doc that goes deep in detail how the film was made called ROBODOC and it's really neat, Robocop's gun is actually a full auto Beretta one of the crew kept in his car in Dallas..slightly modified, the squibs that explode the mimic gun shots hurt like hell and one nearly blew a guys balls off, haha, the final scene with the fall looks bad because they had to rush it, I think the room was too small for the lens to fully zoom out and so it made the arms look elongated, haha I kinda wish they'd go back and fix it because even when the film came it that effect looked bad yeah the only problem I think this film has is not showing up more of Murphy and his partner prior to being robocop, I think that just one 5 minute scene of the two talking to each other about their day or whatever after work woulda really helped the film, you see a lot of scenes like that in Lethal Weapon and it really took those films to the next level, but of course 1 movie can't have it all..

Ahhh, you kid's. No ideas.

Murphy was considered a "prime candidate" evidently. They basically set him up to be killed. Total lack of regard for humanity in this film.

Somehow you're leaving out the best lines Can you fly Bobby? Mind if I..zip this up? Murphy.. it's YOU! (Lewis to Robocop in the police tunnel) How Does Emil recognize Robo? "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" That's what Murphy told him months ago. And his voice is only a little more metallic now. So yeah, Emil remembers him. Dick Jones.. played by Ronnie Cox. Also starred in Beverly Hills Cop. Great guy!! Also.. try leaning back from the mic before screaming. like with your reaction to the crotch shot. j/s -but yeah, enjoy the original Robocop. We all still love it.

36:11 it's called stock motion And just like 90% of the audience, you miss that this movie is satire....

You guys going to finish the Scream franchise???
