Idk, cant remmeber I saw that shit nearly 30 years ago lol. I just remember really liking performance the guy stole the show when he was on and it wasnt even close.
I'm 34 and I barely remember anything about that movie despite having seen it multiple times over my life. I can't remember who clarence is in that movie.
No, that would be the 1989 Beastie Boys track "Shake Your Rump" >Runnin from the law >Depressing the parents >[Cop Voice] Is your name Michael Diamond? >No, my name's Clarence
This is a big part of what makes his character memorable. If he'd been named "Darrek Coldiron" or whatever and looked like the bad guy from Cobra, would anyone remember him?
The 1980s was better in literally every single thing. Art, music, games, life. Holy shit.

TV was the predominant form of media in the '80s. Of course it would be worse now, when it's practically at death's door.
>Italian mafia initiation: consensual, finger prick >israelite mafia initiation: we're cutting your dick skin off 8 days after you're born
Italians didn't stand a chance.
I killed Epstein
or some guy in a bar whose name may or may not have been Epstein but looked j*wish enough to warrant his brutal on the spot murder as every witness and the cops agreed hence my immediate acquittal on the first day of my trial
Real world scary ass mofos often look like dorks. And he was given glasses to emulate a more intellectual and Nazi look. Not the cartoonish "Nazi" but an actual Nazi official, or some kind of unit leader.
You're telling me THESE guys are your badass criminals?! C'mon, they look so innocent and like a lot of fun! I'd love to hang out with them for a night in the Old Detroit clubs.
That's usually how the actual mobsters look.
If you bother looking up the really dangerous organized criminal orgs. You'll find very similar-looking middle-aged or older bongs, italians, slavs and israelites.
The Irish drug cartels, Yugo protection rackets, Italian local mobs and east euro israeli mobsters for some examples.
No joke, before I saw the rest of the movie I had seen images of Clarence and Murphy without his helmet and thought they were the same person, like I thought they turned Clarence into a robot and he turned on Dick at the end for some reason. I think I just can't tell bald people apart idk.
As much as I like Clarence, no. He rightfully met his demise in Robo 1 with Murphy avenging his murder.
Plus, Robo-Kane being a robo-junkie was a fun gimmick.
>He's a rare action movie villain who isn't undone by pride/hubris.
Never thought about it that way but yeah he doesn't really make any stupid mistakes or fail to give 100% into every confrontation
>he doesn't really make any stupid mistakes
You mean apart from having Murphy at gunpoint and instead of unloading first thing gives a silly speech?
Or setting up the dumbest "ambush" ever?
You are right. He is just plain competent. In terms of script writing he is the muscle so he doesn’t need to be anything else. The real villain is the corporate guy if not the corporation itself
i've seen this movie a half dozen times and this never occurred to me. of course clarance gets it in the end, you just know it's coming given his horrible acts, but you're right: he doesn't make any false moves. he's paid up with the right people, has access to military weaponry, and actually uses it proficiently. he just doesn't stand a chance against a superhuman cyborg.
whitey bulger was I believe second only to bin laden on the fbi's most wanted list for years [and that included a shitload of terrifying looking mexican/hispanic cartel guys]
I'd expect that's more down to politics. israeli mobsters are still very much around (le "russian" mafia) but you hardly ever see those guys on those lists.
That guy might have been a fraud who made up wild tales. Sad when guys like him get arrested, are so desperate to make a name for themselves, and get some hack author to go along with it.
There was a (quickly cancelled) Sopranos rip-off on network TV where some dork was the mob boss of Richmond, some white bread character actor trying to be quietly menacing like Great Value Kevin Spacey.
True criminals, and I mean the kind than butchers an human corpse like a babushka butchers a rabbit, tend to be extremely unasuming.
Popeye, one of Escobars most brutal enforcers, was a balding skiny brown man than it looks more like it would sell arepas.
the 7 foot nig tipical of the USA imagination is mostly making time in the jail and going low down with other homosexuals for stuff like selling weed and punching his crackprostitute babymama.
don't think you can really compare Boston to Detroit
Boston was like its own self-contained mini-nation that had lots of organized crime for sure but also the country and indeed the world's most prestigious colleges and such to balance it out
even at it's height as the motor city Detroit was ftmp still basically a third world failed city basically dumped all at once into a first world country relying on aforementioned single industry that any moron knew couldn't last indefinitely
it was a different time
Eff pee bee pee
And by god did it work
Don't forget manlet and skinnyfat.
He's me
He was a klingon on star trek it was for 1 movie and a 2 part episode.
He was also in a kino episode of X-Files.
I kinda remember that but I dont. Which episode was it?
The episode about the gargoyle possessing people, "Grotesque."
Oh yeah! Great episode. I need to rewatch X-Files again.
That's it. It is decided. I am officially as of 1800 hours rewatching the X-Files.
based, such a great one with mulde completely losing it
he played the president of the federation
Idk, cant remmeber I saw that shit nearly 30 years ago lol. I just remember really liking performance the guy stole the show when he was on and it wasnt even close.
Also voyager 2 parter year of hell
Great performance and it was probably peak voyager as well.
>He was a klingon on star trek
He was also a cool spaceship commander in Voyager
bitches leave
harlots depart
So?
He'd eat your zoomer-ass alive.
8 mile RUINED the name clarence
I'm 34 and I barely remember anything about that movie despite having seen it multiple times over my life. I can't remember who clarence is in that movie.
The only part I remember are the rap battles. The big bad was named Big Poppa or something, but his real name was Clarence.
>baldlet
What?
There was a sex scene where Eminem made more noise than Brittany Murphy.
No, that would be the 1989 Beastie Boys track "Shake Your Rump"
>Runnin from the law
>Depressing the parents
>[Cop Voice] Is your name Michael Diamond?
>No, my name's Clarence
It's
>the press and the parents
Dumbass.
I honestly appreciate the correction.
Well I must admit, I was wrong about those lines as well, for years until someone corrected me.
This is a big part of what makes his character memorable. If he'd been named "Darrek Coldiron" or whatever and looked like the bad guy from Cobra, would anyone remember him?
What do crime bosses look like according to you? Seven foot tall, body builders named Arnold?
Shut up Dumbass
homie needs some vitamin E for those scars
>having no hair means you can't shoot people and be a cold, scheming ruthless crimelord
How do people as stupid as you survive?
Stop trying to make bald cool or intimidating.
You wouldn't stand a chance against Clarence. He'd make you fly like the little b***h you are.
What the frick did he have against people named Bob
I can hear this picture
?feature=shared&t=6
Deal with it baldlet
What?
I'm not saying being bald is cool or intimidating. I'm saying being bald does not affect your ability to do crime and do it well. Learn to read.
It can be, as long as the beard isn't too long. Otherwise it becomes a reverse Samson.
the penultimate example of soul vs soulless
>penultimate
so what's the ultimate example then?
remains to be seen, but I'm sure that day will come
Do you even have to ask?
The 1980s was better in literally every single thing. Art, music, games, life. Holy shit.

Luke vs Luuke
"Penultimate" doesn't mean "ultimate."
never implied it did
your lack of an allusion to an 'ultimate' gently suggests you don't understand the definition of 'penultimate'
Bitches leave.
Bald guys are scary because they have nothing left to lose.
>You're gonna get your fricking head bald just like the rest of us.
wasn't al capone a wop manlet?
No he was a tall swede
>manlet
Anon...
damn he really was
I can’t believe America let that stupid fricking wop get rich.
Uncomfortable truth time: israelites were better at the mob game than Italians
>Italian mafia initiation: consensual, finger prick
>israelite mafia initiation: we're cutting your dick skin off 8 days after you're born
Italians didn't stand a chance.
He even looks evil
Jews are born criminals
>died of an STD
I bet you also think Epstein killed himself
Destiny literally just spent a full day researching this and concluded that yes he did actually kill himself
I don't know how you can unironically admit to watching destiny
I killed Epstein
or some guy in a bar whose name may or may not have been Epstein but looked j*wish enough to warrant his brutal on the spot murder as every witness and the cops agreed hence my immediate acquittal on the first day of my trial
Yeah that's what I said, a manlet.
5’10 isn’t a manlet.
>king of crime is also the king of manlets
Poetry
>criminals
Ted Bundy was around 5' 10" (maybe 5' 11" if being generous) and he was apparently considered unfathomably handsome by 1970s standards.
They were tall for their times. People are taller now because of all those growth hormones in the food
Height in itself has never been synonymous with good looks. It can be complimentary to them, but it won't make you handsome on its own.
huh. i actually thought he was a lot shorter than that.
He also had a really comical voice.
Not Capone in particular but several of the mob bosses with the most brutal reps were around 5'2.
The greatest mobster of all time was named Charles kek
Capone was a random thug glorified by the media
Pic related is the person who fricking invented the mob
forgot pic
They were scared to tell and portray the truth even back then
Clarence is usually a negriod name.
>most dangerous war criminal in Nazi Germany
>is a balding white guy with glasses named Heinrich
>war
>crime
>main villain is called Hitler
>henchman is called Himmler
Really God?
They wanted to do a Sauron/Sauroman thing
God didn’t write that story
Ah yes, one of the proto-chuds.
PUTAS VAYAN
clarents parents have a real good marriage
Most realistic part of the movie
back then, movie villains were just movie villains.
If he never misses a Detroit Tigers game, why couldn't the police arrest him then?
>most dangerous criminal and gang boss in New Jersey
>is a balding fat white guy with a puff of breath
Real world scary ass mofos often look like dorks. And he was given glasses to emulate a more intellectual and Nazi look. Not the cartoonish "Nazi" but an actual Nazi official, or some kind of unit leader.
>Most feared battle rapper in Detroit
>His real name's Clarence
You're telling me THESE guys are your badass criminals?! C'mon, they look so innocent and like a lot of fun! I'd love to hang out with them for a night in the Old Detroit clubs.
He's the one who knocks.
BTCHES LEAVE
Snoop Doggs name is Calvin
Ice Cubes name is O'Shea
With enough intellect, motivation and ruthlessness almost anyone can become a crime lord. Looks don't really matter.
That's usually how the actual mobsters look.
If you bother looking up the really dangerous organized criminal orgs. You'll find very similar-looking middle-aged or older bongs, italians, slavs and israelites.
The Irish drug cartels, Yugo protection rackets, Italian local mobs and east euro israeli mobsters for some examples.
hard to believe really
This. He would have been perfect for playing Jimmy Bulger.
>Nice shootin son, what's your name?
>Clarence.
ded
No joke, before I saw the rest of the movie I had seen images of Clarence and Murphy without his helmet and thought they were the same person, like I thought they turned Clarence into a robot and he turned on Dick at the end for some reason. I think I just can't tell bald people apart idk.
Do you guys think they should have replaced Kane in Robocop 2 with Clarence getting Robocop'd?
As much as I like Clarence, no. He rightfully met his demise in Robo 1 with Murphy avenging his murder.
Plus, Robo-Kane being a robo-junkie was a fun gimmick.
HARLOTS VACATE
When I was in prison, both top ranked members of the Bloods and Crips where I was housed were White.
wat
The mayor of Detroit is a while guy.
Yep. Blew my mind. They both had about 7 or 8 Black folk standing guard around them at all times.
It was gapmoe
>blacks only steal because old white men pay them to
Why do boomer shows and movies do this?
He's just great. He's a rare action movie villain who isn't undone by pride/hubris. He just has the misfortune of having fricking RoboCop on his ass.
>He's a rare action movie villain who isn't undone by pride/hubris.

You are right. He is just plain competent. In terms of script writing he is the muscle so he doesn’t need to be anything else. The real villain is the corporate guy if not the corporation itself
If anything, Boddicker's self-preservation instinct is Dick's downfall. He immediately rats out Jones when Murphy arrests him.
How do you win against robocop?
a slight jog to move faster than him but since americans are so fat there is no way they can win
Anti-tank weapons. A little overkill but you want to be sure there isn't enough left over to rebuild.
Get a direct hit on him with the Cobra assault canon. Something Clarence's goons failed to do.
A pit trap
Drain his battery
i've seen this movie a half dozen times and this never occurred to me. of course clarance gets it in the end, you just know it's coming given his horrible acts, but you're right: he doesn't make any false moves. he's paid up with the right people, has access to military weaponry, and actually uses it proficiently. he just doesn't stand a chance against a superhuman cyborg.
I just realized this guy carried the movie together with his crew and the corporate villain.
And it just works. He's very believable psychopath.
whitey bulger was I believe second only to bin laden on the fbi's most wanted list for years [and that included a shitload of terrifying looking mexican/hispanic cartel guys]
I'd expect that's more down to politics. israeli mobsters are still very much around (le "russian" mafia) but you hardly ever see those guys on those lists.
Why dis homie so tall?
>why isnt the gang boss a 7 feet tall bodybuilder gigachad
you must be 18+ to post here
He had a multiracial gang
The Iceman was a chubby bald Polish-American who wore turtlenecks
That guy might have been a fraud who made up wild tales. Sad when guys like him get arrested, are so desperate to make a name for themselves, and get some hack author to go along with it.
Boomers must think Larry David is the scariest man alive kek
He was a scary and sadistic, slimy villain though.
There was a (quickly cancelled) Sopranos rip-off on network TV where some dork was the mob boss of Richmond, some white bread character actor trying to be quietly menacing like Great Value Kevin Spacey.
Should I watch RoboCop 2? The reviews make it seem terrible
Yes. Don't go any further.
Clarence Bodicker was a fricking badass, whoever made this thread hasn't scene the movie.
No it's that it's unusual that this man is one of the biggest criminals in Detriot when you would expect him to be black
True criminals, and I mean the kind than butchers an human corpse like a babushka butchers a rabbit, tend to be extremely unasuming.
Popeye, one of Escobars most brutal enforcers, was a balding skiny brown man than it looks more like it would sell arepas.
