Reminder this is 30 plus year old special FX
also, reminder this is just murphy's skin fit over a robotic skull. the big reveal was supposed to happen in robocop 2 but they cut it out because it was too freaky.
Pretty obvious considering one shot to the face would have snuffed him otherwise and he's constantly in a hail of bullets
What big reveal?
when cain and his goons take him apart
His rebuilt form as RoboCop; they basically discarded everything except his brain, and jammed it all into a mechanical body. And then they peeled off his human face and grafted onto a cybernetic skull, to try to lessen the uncanny valley effect. This is really brought home in the scene where he takes off his helmet by removing the screws from his temples and then gazes sadly at what's left of himself in the mirror.
That even the face is fake too. Only the brain and a few organs remains.
They made a bulky tank, no way they had the expertise to make sophisticated lip movements, his face is real
But that one bit is clearly a robot jaw with the skin just pulled over it
RoboCop: Touch me.
Ellen Murphy: It's cold.
RoboCop: They made this to honor him.
KINOhe didn't really believe itbut it was true possibly
They DID show it in Robocop 2, but for Cane. So it'd be redundant to also show it for Murphy.
>it's cold
>they made this to honour him
>i don't know you
Oh the scene where he gets shot for 10 minutes and gets his arm blown off by torture is fine, BUT LE ROBOTINO IS TO FREAKY SAVE ME BlackPHILIAC AMERICAN
yes we know. modern Hollywood is mostly filled with cheap talentless hacks. what else is new
I know practical effects are more expensive than CGI, but goddamn if that doesn't look as good now as it did back then. You can't say the same for Marvel movies even 5 years old.
its also crazy that the FX artist demanded it be only shown in the dark because he thought it didn't look good enough to be in bright lights.
Imagine losing years off your life on a nightmarish production of sci-fi slop, finally stick it in a projector, and THIS appears
Never forget what they took from you.
Little known fact is that he was actually talking about his genitals
I'd love to see an upbeat version of robotcop
Disneys Inspector Gadget, it sucks
Plus Robocop is pretty upbeat, it’s my kind of story where it’s one good guy against an evil world but everyone besides him is having a hell of a good time
I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR
your company BUILT THE FRICKING THING!
It's such a perfect fricking film, god I love it.
Prompt?
Murphy
Chrome Lords 1988 directed by James Cameron
I love the ending because it ends exactly where it needs to. We don’t need to see him try to find his family or anything (because that would be boring as the remake showed), his one acknowledgment of his real name is enough to complete his character arc
I agree, but I still feels like the family stuff would be the natural extension in the sequels with him struggling to find a place for himself. He doesn't even need that many scenes with his family, just an ending where he is finally at peace with himself.
“Your husband is dead but I will protect you and your son for Alex Murphy. You must go now but I will protect you.”.
As it stands it feels a bit tacked on, no matter how well-written and emotional the scene is.
isn't that literally what this scene is?
The only problem with 2 is too many story arcs
>Nice shootin' son. What's your name.
>Murphy.
FRICK, YEAH!!!
The whole family angle feels wasted when it is so easily aborted. The first film was about Murphy regaining his humanity. The 2nd or 3th film should have involved, if not regaining his family, at least that the recognition that he keeps fighting for them.
2 did that explicitly
i rewatched these recently and forgot how good weller's acting is in 2 when robocop's all f'd up from the new program they installed. his movements, mannerisms and even line delivery are so spot on.
his pneumatic metal penis
Where's his wiener?
Budget cuts.
Pure kino. The cast is excellent.
