So, yeah, just my quick 2 cents: I dislike Robocop remake as much as the next man, but that movie has ONE scene that actually sticks in your mind: when Robo says he doesn't want this life and the Gary Oldman character says ok and flips a switch which completely disassembles his mechanical components, leaving only his head and lungs. That's as close as the remake came to the spirit of the og movie. Cheers!

The 1987 RoboCop is unparalleled in its satirical tone and societal critique, something the 2014 version falls short on despite its modern context. The original's practical effects and gritty aesthetic bring a tactile realism that CGI in the remake can't capture. While both films explore Alex Murphy's emotional arc, the original dives deeper into his internal struggle, making it more impactful. The toned-down violence in the 2014 film also misses an opportunity for deeper social commentary. All in all, the original remains a genre-defining classic that melds thought-provoking themes with visceral action.

"I would buy that for a Dollar." I have had various different versions of this movie on DVD and Blu-ray and recently, having sold off the previous versions, got the arrow steelbook edition which has the original theatrical artwork on it (which none of the previous versions had). The problems with the RoboCop franchise is that it is really a one and done ✅ story that doesn't really lend itself to sequels (which is why they really can't capture the magic of the original). This was also the movie that got Ronny Cox his start as a Villian (considering up until this point he had always played good guys). It is no surprise he also played the villian in Total Recall, which Verhoeven chose to do instead of doing RoboCop 2.🍕🔥🍿

I was 16 when the film was released in '87 & saw it shortly after it opened. As an already veteran, jaded Sci-Fi fan, who had already seen such masterworks as 'Aliens', 'Robocop' was still staggeringly impactful. Murphy's torture at the hands of the criminals was nearly as impactful to me & my group of friends, as the 'Chestburster' scene in 'Alien' almost a decade earlier. The Dystopian Snark we got immediately & I couldn't understand why my parent's DIDN'T get it. The same thing happened with 'Starship Troopers' in '97. Verhoven's satire was excellent, but blatantly obvious & it always puzzled me why so many film viewers couldn't see it. I guess that kind of storytelling is just too much for the average filmgoer, because the same thing happened to the brilliant 'The Last Action Hero' on release. People couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Arnold was making fun of himself.

Starship Troopers was a hit with many, when I asked why they liked it they pointed towards the action. But the satirical humor was what did it for me. It was the ending that nailed the entire thing as an unashamedly propaganda film. The film was also making fun of hollywood films, and it seemed to me from the reaction of people is that they felt the film was making fun of them somehow. That it made fun of militarism and the idea of heroes was offensive to Americans I can imagine.

Everyone knows the original is PERFECT, The remake has it's flaws but I'll ALWAYS appreciate it for going for sentimentality over cynicism, people have already seen the satire city and now we get to actually focus on Murphy's very not funny torment and existentialism, I will never forget the chill I got when Murphy is whisked away from his fantasy and just sees a cold hospital room, him trying to rip the suit off WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!? the visor going down both as a sweet reveal of the full suit and to show that Murphy's rage is making the suit go into battle mode. And how can you forget the scene of Murphy forcing Gary Oldman to show him what's left of his original body, nothing, each major piece just being picked off and taken out of frame, true body horror rivaling the toxic man and completely nullifying whatever we thought Murhpy went through in the original, we saw glimpses and hints that he was missing certain limbs and organs to a comical degree, but that's all it was, comical, I will always appreciate the remake for being sentimental, instead of Cynical.

By the way,I think that 10 years ago,they should have made a movie with Robocop and Arnold Terminator. An older Murphy(P. Weller) and Arnold as a surviving older T-800,showing their bitter experiences of being not humans,but nor 100% machines. At first they consider enemies,but later understood that they have many things in common,mostly their lonelyness. They team up,fight and die protecting the humans. The T- 800 could become weak as an assassin,if after years together,he understand and feel like the humans,going from machine to some kind of human being. And Murphy followed an opposite path; after years of emotional pain,being a man inside a machine,he become in something like Darth Vader. At last,they consider themselves mostly as humans and die for them.

Although I've caught your videos from time to time I've been watching a lot of them. Nice video, also touching on the video games in between movie entries. Because I was relatively young at the time I first watched the first one, I only got to appreciate it later. I've always thought that 2 got a bad rap that it didn't deserve. 1 was dark and with a social satire. It's perhaps unfair to say that 2 was a parody of itself but I do feel it's tone was due to it being self-aware. I actually liked the juxtaposition, for lack of a better term, of Hobb's age and his ruthlessness. I also liked that they were controlling Kain with Nuke.

RoboCop 1 is a classic, no doubt about it. RoboCop 2, I like that the villain is a kid because it says something about that society. RoboCain is terrifying. But the movie is overall eh. Unlike, RoboCop 3, I like this movie a lot. Yeah, it is flawed as hell but the story of DeltaCity finally reached a boiling pot with everyday people fighting back. This movie, is good. RoboCop Prime Directives, a good series, short and concise. RoboCop the TV Series, it starts like pain but it grows really REALLY good. The song " _Future to this life_ " as cheesy as it is, fits RoboCop so well. And the episode with Murphy's father - cried crocodile tears. RoboCop 2014, is also good but it's not as clever as it should be. The best scene arguably is a throw-away scene that most people miss where you see people coming to grasp what it's like living with cybernetic enhancements.

Robocop was not a mid-budget film. It was twice as expensive as Platoon to produce and equal to Beverley Hills Cop 2. Basically it was in the 13 to 15 million dollar range depending on how you count it. Let me explain... Close to the end of the shoot Paul Verhoven finished everything but Murphy's death scene. Unfortunately, they ran out of money so he cleverly wrapped it up and showed the film to the execs in charge of the budget. They fell in love with the picture so much that they gave Verhoven the money he needed to film it and the rest is history.

Robocop 2 is a commentary on the fact that the media after Robocop actively targeted children. Hence the movie and the bad guy are called literally Robocop 2. The movie is a critique of violence sold to kids. The Hobbs character is the kid that represents all kids, Hobbs was a philosopher whose ideas centered around the surrender to authority. Cain is a character that killed his brother, in this case the brother is the original Robocop movie and ideas. I mean shit, they even say it when Murphy tries to shoot Hobbs and he says "Can't shoot a kid can you fucker" and minutes later he is killed by Cain who can target kids. The failed Robocop 2s are all the attempts to Remake the violent original that were all squashed in favour of cartoons and toys... People think the first Robocop is a criticism of free market capitalism when it is in fact a critique of what idiots call capitalism which is really crony capitalism or more realistically socialism as it actually exists in the real world not as it is described in books that are basically fairy tales. OCP has power because it is essentially part of the government... Dick Jones says so "Shit we practically are the military!" Police are a social program, Alex isn't screwed over by a corporation he is screwed over by the government who sell him to a corporation that they have hired to run a social program. Socialism isn't hospitals for sick kids, it is simply: redistribution of wealth (taxes), will of the people (elected officials), seizing the means of production (regulatory capture). The military and police are run by the government (will of the people), they are paid for with taxes (redistribution of wealth), and they are the only ones allowed to do that job, (seized means of production). Robocop is a critique of modern socialism.
