There's an anime like this where the only thing left of the cyborg cop is his tongue, so biting down on it is the one sensation that helps him feel alive. Plot twist he goes on an insane killing spree.
Because if it isnt bad enough being strapped to a machine, imagine being one with no access to your pleasure centers, and just being a numb piece of meat the rest of your life.
A policeman's job is not just 24/7 murdering. Most of their job is keeping the peace, non-violent crime, and interacting with the public. Robocop was supposed to be a friendly face and role model. ED-209 and Robocop 2 could never be that.
The point is they need to keep that little bit of flesh alive unnecessarily when he could just have a cool metal face. OCP had shitty engineering, fact, but then I guess that’s what you get when you buy American

not sure if it was alive or artificial or preserved.
he had no body warmth - remember he told his wife to touch it
tbf that was all in the sequels, not the original. Personally I liked Robocop 2 enough for what it was but I don't really consider it when I think about the themes and such of the original. Personally I like to think that the bad guys were trying to shoot his mouth but it's a hard shot to pull off when a murderbot is trying to kill you.
btw the best part of Robocop 1 is in the final showdown where Robocop gets the drop on Clarence's gang, but instead of shooting them all he decides to shoot the Black person four times
>tbf that was all in the sequels, not the original.
What does that matter? In Robocop 1 he was still a PR stunt for OCP, and they fully intended Robocop to be a public figure. 2 establishing that they kept his face for PR reasons was just spelling out what was obvious in the first place.
It's a good and respectful transition between Robocop 2 and Robocop 3. It doesn't shit on a single aspect of Robocop even if it deserves it; really made with love, and that's hard to find these days. Really pleasant surprise and I'm glad I played the whole thing.
Probably wouldn't have done much, unless they really concentrated heavy fire on that area.
to me, Toy Story 3/4 dichotomy is the same as the Robocop 2/3 dichotomy. In both cases both of the sequels of their respective franchises were unnecessary trash, but latter gets disproportionate criticism.
Robocop 2 made my skin crawl when I first saw how they were making what amounts to an R-rated kids film, but if you worship at the alter of RLM meme opinions, you can made yourself appreciate "muh over the top satire."
RC3 in continuing tradition, was charming for its practical effects and the funny pimp scene and the funny robber in a cafe full of cops scene, yet people act like the fact that there's less blood and Alex Murphy's actor changed are a big deal.
Makes me wonder if an AI voice dub of RC3 with extra blood realistically added in post would "fix" it. >You're actually defending the dogshit that is Robocop 3.
Not really. I'm only defending it from homosexuals who say Robocop 2 is better than the original.
>people act like the fact that there's less blood and Alex Murphy's actor changed are a big deal.
That's because they are, especially Peter Weller changing. It really hurt the movie overall.

My defense of RC3 exists on those very particular grounds.

>Robocop 2 may be better than the original.
There was a Youtuber named UnknownArchive who made a video called Robocop Lime where he essentially said this. I can't find any of his old videos, and the channel that has the avatar might be the same guy since it has the same avatar (as far as I remember):
https://www.youtube.com/@UnknownArchive/community
The only evidence of his Robocop Lime review on Youtube is this defunct Newgrounds URL. He did a retrospective of the entire series as well as several others, and it's all gone forever as far as I can tell, since ddg, google, and yandex yield nothing, but he also said RC2 was better than the original.
https://mindchamber.newgrounds.com/news/post/760209
And I had a college film professor say RC2 was better than the original. I suspected he got this opinion from RLM. I obviously didn't put my phone in his face to make a video to prove it to you, but people like this exist, and they are who I am responding to.

>3's good and I'm saying this because 2 isn't as good as 1
What the frick are you blabbering about?
I fricking love 2 but I wouldn't say it's better than 1. 1's a near-perfect movie. It was gonna be next to impossible to top. Every Robocop 2 fan I know and have spoken to tend to agree.
3's got nothing to do with anything.
The loss of Peter Weller can't be overstated enough for Robocop 3. 2 is certainly a betrayal of many aspects of the first film, and it's well known what ended up on screen was not exactly what was written originally, but in of itself, it's a reasonably entertaining mean spirited weird film. 3 is just sort of a regular kind of shit.
"I wanted to do something that was more animal than human -like a Brahma bull combined with a locomotive. We went through a lot of animal shapes. But Tim Hunter -who was still on the film as director at that point -thought it should have more of a human appearance, because human beings are the biggest monsters of them all. That was his thinking and I think he was right."
>But Tim Hunter -who was still on the film as director at that point -thought it should have more of a human appearance, because human beings are the biggest monsters of them all. That was his thinking and I think he was right."
All that was known at the beginning was that there was going to be a big battle at the end of the film between RoboCop and RoboCop 2. Craig Davies began developing the robot with the idea that it was something RoboCop would stand little chance of beating -a giant that could vary its height by way of gears and hydraulic rams. Craig began drawing sketches of the possible forms the Cain monster might take. The philosophy was that monsters exist primarily in our mind, that if you see something and get a chance to digest it visually, it is not scary anymore. So the idea was to put a bunch of stuff on this monster to kind of overload the viewers brain, so that there was no way you could really assimilate it all, You would never have a chance to get a fix on it because it was packed with so much. Davies' first ideas contrasted sharply with the anthropomorphic look of the original RoboCop.

That was his thinking and I think he was right."
CRAIG DAVIES
With Hunter's edict to humanize the look of the monster, Davies took a new approach in its design. They came up with something that was upright and looked basically like a man. It had four arms, different types of tooling -the kind of thing you see in a lot of machinery. The idea was to show that this thing was capable of self-repair, something like a guerrilla Swiss army knife. The helmet design was just a conglomeration of a lot of things. from the front, it looks like an atomic bomb mushroom cloud; but it has the profile of a sort of stylized American eagle. And then the waist is very tiny -wasplike -so the overall im計ression is of a stylized bodybuilder. This robot is like a big, thick-headed American male butthole -the worst, most offensive thing you could ever have angry at you. from some angles, though, it looks like a medieval knight, which was a conscious satirical comment- it's medieval technology, showing that America is not in the forefront of this kind of stuff anymore.
I think he probably would have been able to communicate normally but degraded into a psychotic basket case like all the other Robocop attempts. The Nuke just kept him marginally stabilized so he didn't instantly self delete and could follow simple orders.
This. Faxx figured out that if Murphy was driven by his sense of duty, someone driven by a more *primal* instinct, such as addiction, could be easily made able to follow any orders.
Why did they keep the whole face? Why not just keep the mouth part. This is all a terrible design flaw, if he did see his face and somehow remember who he was and he did. Why not just remove that chance all together?????!1?
Did you homosexuals never watched the movie ffs. Robocop's face was kept to help him maintain his sanity. Look at the other failed Robocop designs that were pure robots and they went insane immediately upon booting up. Except for Kain, that man was just built different. But he still had an animated face on a screen
His lips. Everything else is gone. The skin is stretched over a [insert most durable, most bulletproof metal you can imagine, apparently "titanium-laminated kevlar"] skull. Shooting him in the mouth does no significant damage to the machine itself.
Why did they keep the whole face? Why not just keep the mouth part. This is all a terrible design flaw, if he did see his face and somehow remember who he was and he did. Why not just remove that chance all together?????!1?
"They did this to honour him" is what Murphy tells his wife in the secod movie to convince her of the death of her husband and no continuation between him and the machine, however, the first movie also establishes it as a precaution so the transfer into his new life isn't too traumatic for him. Of course, what you point out as a design flaw happens anyway, but not because Murphy sees his face. Rather, he sees Antonowsky's face during his first arrest and the criminal files he has access to interweave with memories of his last moments and set him on the course of self-discovery.
Point of note, before he rediscovers his true self, he makes no attempt to shield his face - the robot part of his personality does not consider it important - but by the time of the final battle, when he considers himself Murphy again, he does indeed make sure to raise a hand in front of his exposed face during shootouts.
Here's the thing; it doesn't matter. If they shot holes into his skin Omnicorp would pull him off duty because you can't have an officer running around with a mangled face.
why didn't the bad guys just shoot him in the mouth?
I have a theory none of Murphys backstory was real and hes full cyborg, theyre just implanted memories to give him some connection with humanity. It makes no sense to stretch his skin over cybernetics because a few incidents in the streets and his flesh would be an ungodly sight.
Youd be surprised how well deterrence would work if a single cop could show up and kill every uppity Black in the area.
Lynchings used to be enough to keep them in check but now we cant even do that
It's a good and respectful transition between Robocop 2 and Robocop 3. It doesn't shit on a single aspect of Robocop even if it deserves it; really made with love, and that's hard to find these days. Really pleasant surprise and I'm glad I played the whole thing.
I got bored of it by the second hub which is the first hib only day now. But K get bored of video game pretty easily especially nowadays with them being shit. This one is pretty okay if you're a Robert fan.
Yeah. Don't take the social skill tree though. It doesn't unlock any new options, just highlights existing ones, and the public trust impact is useless.
Make sure you have page file memory configured for the drive you've installed the game on. Mine was on a second SSD (D:) and by default, Windows does not set pagefiles on drives where it is not installed. That solved a LOT of the crashes for me. Also, use TAA, not DLSS.
If you're a Robocop fan, absolutely. If you appreciate a solid FPS campaign, yes.
Gameplay wise it's basically simplified Deus Ex: HR. "Open" world pseudo RPG FPS. Fight thugs, solve crimes and gather evidence to level up. Collect chips to unlock upgrade paths on your Auto-9
Story wise, it's Robocop 2.5. Quality is slightly less than 2 thanks to the twist final boss battle. Slightly deeper dive into Robocop/Murphy than Robocop 1. Are his memories his? Or are they Murphy's? Is he Murphy or is he OCP's Robocop?
Positives: >Peter Weller is back as Murphy/Robocop >Story is more engaging than most modern videogames/movies >Well optimized (can get steady 60fps on my aging RX480) >Gameplay and control is as solid as they come >"Serve the Public Trust" or "Uphold the Law" was an interesting "morality" system
Negatives >majority of voice acting is bad >Robocop doesn't use his data spike for his melee attack >OG blue Robo is paid DLC >some other nitpicky things
Overall, you'll forget all the negatives when you're in the middle of a firefight, closelining bikers while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4PQRpo2Wng is blasting
I wonder, how cognizant was of his actions. He doesn't speak a single word, yet every other cyborg other than Robocop went feral. His memory was clearly mindwiped as with Robocop but cyborg memories seems to be poised to return over time.
Also was he ever programmed with the Robocop directives? It seems pretty reckless to program him without the whole "Serve the public trust", "Protect the innocent", "Uphold the law". Of course, everything about OCP scream that they are incompetence Inc outside of their start Robocop program.
Bob Morton and his team of scientists was greatly responsible for how RoboCop turned up. Despite Bob being portrayed as a sleaze bag corporate exec he actually had heart and followed some protocols. Meanwhile Kain was made with bad intentions from the start and headed by a woman exec who sleeps her way to the top and will do whatever it takes to climb ranks
I wonder if Bob would have stood behind the Robocop program if he were still alive. One of the funniest reoccurring conflicts Robocop faces in alternative media is some new OCP executive wanting to shut down the Robocop project. Either as a cost cutting measure, because Robocop directly conflicts with their illegal projects, or they want to push their own crime fighting projects. Bob was a sleaze as the other anon mentioned, but it seemed like he actually believed in the project. He wasn't the one to put in Directive 4 into Robocop either. Dick Jones says that was his doing.
I wonder if Bob would shut down the Robocop program at the slightest inconvenience or save it.
It was his pride and joy, his child. He was using it to further his career and snatch power from the more senior guys. I definitely think he'd have wanted to keep it going and get more Robocops out on patrol.
Bob was actually excited about the RoboCop program he would've fought to keep it running together with his team. Unfortunately his biggest downfall was his ego going against Dick, and of course coke and b***hes too
>It's a new OCP Executive hot shot episode >They brainwash children to increase profits and commit crimes >Prevents Robocop from arresting them since they're technically innocent
Because it's not a human head, the only parts of Murphy that remain are his brain inside a metal head, and the skin of his face removed and placed on said metal head.
well, we've seen how kids have turned out now that all violence was removed from 'kids movies'
Come to think of it, this is obvious in retrospect. A child gets exposed to injustice, existence of evil at an impressionable age so he or she actually cares about it instead of the now normal "lol who cares" and getting back to stare at their glowscreen. Plus at the time there were supposed to be responsible adults who could explain to the kid that injustice does happen, evil people do exist and one has to be prepared to deal with that in a way that doesn't drag him or her down to their level. Now it's just "here's your newest eyePhone, sweetie, it will rot your brain even faster".
I wonder if they could have explored the implications of innovations with Robocop. They have technology to make cyborgs and replace whole body parts. You can bring someone from death. They have technology to reprogram someone's brain. Yet you never see it outside of Robocop itself.
Cutting-edge biomedical tech usually goes through decades of both justified and contrived red tape hell before it becomes available to the richest of the richest merely due to absolutely prohibitive costs of manufacture (safety+miniaturisation+efficiency), maintenance, installation, upfront R&D costs, salaries for everyone involved at every stage of this process.
Paul Verhoeven made it immediately clear that he didn't want anything on ED 209 to look cute. He wanted something really hard and mean. Verhoeven had a really severe vision in mind for this thing, a product of modern American design. They'd design it to look neat and then they'd worry about making it work. In other words, these futuristic designers would pay a lot of attention to the cosmetics of it in an attempt to market the thing on looks alone, just like an American car.
The team took a lot of the current design trends into account and mixed them all together, adding things like oil coolers, radiators and heat exchangers, all of which are on the ED-209 robot if you know where to look. The question of eyes came up, but it was quickly decided that it was best to avoid them to show less emotion.
Included were also stabs at current corporate design policy. For instance, there are four huge hydraulic rams on the legs, even though a creature like ED wouldn't need nearly that many. Complete redundancy, a true corporate product. There's also the grill area in ED's head. While some people would look at that and go, "Oh, it's a mouth" it's also a big, obvious, extremely stupid place to put an open area like a radiator on a unit like ED-209.
Then the thing can't even walk down a flight of fricking stairs. As if there are no stairs in the line of policing a city. It's a terrific "shit design".
In my headcannon, Dick Jones watched Macross on coke and saw the Glaug. But he fell asleep while Doctor Who was on and asked for a Glaug that has the staircase abilities of a Dalek.
I wonder if 8 Man is obscure enough for people not to know that it is to Robocop what Kimba was to the Lion King. I'd recommend watching 8 Man After if you're a big Robocop fan.
I sort of assumed that his skull was intact. There’s the scene in the first one where they hack him apart at the waist so it was pretty clear that he was more machine than man
Isn't there a deleted scene where Cain and his girlfriend meet the doctor and see the prototype Robocop 2 body at OCP? I don't know if it was filmed or just something from the script though.
>bad guys are expert marksmen
Criminals are morons who spray and pray. Many gangland drivebys in LA ended up with the target gangbangers alive and well and some 12 year old girl shot in the head.
A better question is why didn't the scientist remove his pain receptors.
A better question, if you have the money to make a fricking robocop and mecha why aren't you just doing coke and fricking teens on a tropical island
There's an anime like this where the only thing left of the cyborg cop is his tongue, so biting down on it is the one sensation that helps him feel alive. Plot twist he goes on an insane killing spree.
Because if it isnt bad enough being strapped to a machine, imagine being one with no access to your pleasure centers, and just being a numb piece of meat the rest of your life.
Because it's not his mouth. It's his skin stretched over a metal plate.
How would random bad guys know that? Seems like specialized, insider knowledge to me. I mean, no one even tried. You'd think they would try.
What’s the advantage to this? Seems like a poor design choice tbqh
A policeman's job is not just 24/7 murdering. Most of their job is keeping the peace, non-violent crime, and interacting with the public. Robocop was supposed to be a friendly face and role model. ED-209 and Robocop 2 could never be that.
Yeah but he looks all creepy and shit. They could’ve just given him a teddy bear head or something, idk
he's not gonna take his helmet off to talk to bystanders you stupid frick.
The point is they need to keep that little bit of flesh alive unnecessarily when he could just have a cool metal face. OCP had shitty engineering, fact, but then I guess that’s what you get when you buy American

The bit where they say Robocop 2, in Robocop 2.
>A policeman's job is not just 24/7 murdering.
this is an american board GET OUT
Did you even watch these? They're very explicit about how Robocop needs at least some kind of human appearance for relatability.

Who are these people?
They live exclusively in OPs mind, giving him justification for posting all that bullshit.
I should have mentioned earlier. I'm not OP.
Nobody has ever said 2 is better than 1.
Those legs look ridiculously vulnerable
Say that to my face.
RoboCain scared me so much as a kid, he moved so erratically and inhumanly and seemed unstoppable.
He is on your side
Badass
I don't know, he was pretty unstoppable in the film, Robocop barely overcame him after a lengthy battle in and out of the buildings and streets.
As long as they can climb up and down stairs they're good.
Phil Tippet despises this thing, considers it one of the worst things they ever made.
It was cool when it was rolling up the elevator shaft.
That shot scared the FRICK outta kid me
Thats very ironic since it was stop motion at some of its finest. It works better in motion since it all these different ways to operate.
Shame because it's fricking cool.

>It's his skin
So, his mouth?
His lips. Everything else is gone. The skin is stretched over a [insert most durable, most bulletproof metal you can imagine, apparently "titanium-laminated kevlar"] skull. Shooting him in the mouth does no significant damage to the machine itself.
"They did this to honour him" is what Murphy tells his wife in the secod movie to convince her of the death of her husband and no continuation between him and the machine, however, the first movie also establishes it as a precaution so the transfer into his new life isn't too traumatic for him. Of course, what you point out as a design flaw happens anyway, but not because Murphy sees his face. Rather, he sees Antonowsky's face during his first arrest and the criminal files he has access to interweave with memories of his last moments and set him on the course of self-discovery.
Point of note, before he rediscovers his true self, he makes no attempt to shield his face - the robot part of his personality does not consider it important - but by the time of the final battle, when he considers himself Murphy again, he does indeed make sure to raise a hand in front of his exposed face during shootouts.
>Because it's not his mouth. It's his skin stretched over a metal plate.
Do you think he still knew how to eat pussy?
He knew how to eat oreos.
He chewed pussy for breakfast and shat out brass for his big iron strapped to his hip
Officer Lewis reminded him how
Robo wants da pussey
Here's the thing; it doesn't matter. If they shot holes into his skin Omnicorp would pull him off duty because you can't have an officer running around with a mangled face.
I have a theory none of Murphys backstory was real and hes full cyborg, theyre just implanted memories to give him some connection with humanity. It makes no sense to stretch his skin over cybernetics because a few incidents in the streets and his flesh would be an ungodly sight.
Hes all robot, simple as.
You're fricking moronic. Like actually moronic.
It's stupid that a single Robocop can clean up the city. And drug dealers are replaceable. Did killing Pablo Escobar do anything to cocaine prices?
If you had an OP cyborg who can unrelentingly kill every new paco escobar who pops up effortlessly then yeah it would have an impact
Youd be surprised how well deterrence would work if a single cop could show up and kill every uppity Black in the area.
Lynchings used to be enough to keep them in check but now we cant even do that
The majority of criminals in the movie are white, so shut up, moron.
I wonder why they bothered claiming the movie was even set in Detroit. It blatantly is filmed elsewhere.
Mauler logic
You try shooting Robocop in the mouth.
Robocop isn't real.
Where's your proof?
is rogue city worth it?
oh shit, it's on sale
Yes. I'd say it's the best sequel since part 2.
I'd say for $50 no, but for $35, yes.
It's a good and respectful transition between Robocop 2 and Robocop 3. It doesn't shit on a single aspect of Robocop even if it deserves it; really made with love, and that's hard to find these days. Really pleasant surprise and I'm glad I played the whole thing.
I got it discounted for $40. It’s fun, but probably not worth more than that.
I'd say it's worth more than normal AAA games, but those aren't worth 70 dollars by any stretch.
I got bored of it by the second hub which is the first hib only day now. But K get bored of video game pretty easily especially nowadays with them being shit. This one is pretty okay if you're a Robert fan.
I like how they reused these for police bots.
Yeah. Don't take the social skill tree though. It doesn't unlock any new options, just highlights existing ones, and the public trust impact is useless.
Psychology unlocks a lot of new options, though. Get that to at least level six.
I did, it doesn't
...Or do the empathetic options not appear if you don't have the perk
There's a DX11 launch error that they refuse to fix
Make sure you have page file memory configured for the drive you've installed the game on. Mine was on a second SSD (D:) and by default, Windows does not set pagefiles on drives where it is not installed. That solved a LOT of the crashes for me. Also, use TAA, not DLSS.
It’s fun but probably not worth the full price
I'd buy it for a dollar
If you're a Robocop fan, absolutely. If you appreciate a solid FPS campaign, yes.
Gameplay wise it's basically simplified Deus Ex: HR. "Open" world pseudo RPG FPS. Fight thugs, solve crimes and gather evidence to level up. Collect chips to unlock upgrade paths on your Auto-9
Story wise, it's Robocop 2.5. Quality is slightly less than 2 thanks to the twist final boss battle. Slightly deeper dive into Robocop/Murphy than Robocop 1. Are his memories his? Or are they Murphy's? Is he Murphy or is he OCP's Robocop?
Positives:
>Peter Weller is back as Murphy/Robocop
>Story is more engaging than most modern videogames/movies
>Well optimized (can get steady 60fps on my aging RX480)
>Gameplay and control is as solid as they come
>"Serve the Public Trust" or "Uphold the Law" was an interesting "morality" system
Negatives
>majority of voice acting is bad
>Robocop doesn't use his data spike for his melee attack
>OG blue Robo is paid DLC
>some other nitpicky things
Overall, you'll forget all the negatives when you're in the middle of a firefight, closelining bikers while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4PQRpo2Wng is blasting
>mfw ED-209's take 3 shots from the Cobra Assault Cannon to defeat just like in the movie
Why waste a bullet on a missed headshot when you could concentrate fire on a larger target?
He has subdermal armour too. It's all bulletproof
Probably wouldn't have done much, unless they really concentrated heavy fire on that area.
I wonder, how cognizant was of his actions. He doesn't speak a single word, yet every other cyborg other than Robocop went feral. His memory was clearly mindwiped as with Robocop but cyborg memories seems to be poised to return over time.
Also was he ever programmed with the Robocop directives? It seems pretty reckless to program him without the whole "Serve the public trust", "Protect the innocent", "Uphold the law". Of course, everything about OCP scream that they are incompetence Inc outside of their start Robocop program.
Bob Morton and his team of scientists was greatly responsible for how RoboCop turned up. Despite Bob being portrayed as a sleaze bag corporate exec he actually had heart and followed some protocols. Meanwhile Kain was made with bad intentions from the start and headed by a woman exec who sleeps her way to the top and will do whatever it takes to climb ranks
>You're gonna be a BAD MOTHERFRICKER!
I wonder if Bob would have stood behind the Robocop program if he were still alive. One of the funniest reoccurring conflicts Robocop faces in alternative media is some new OCP executive wanting to shut down the Robocop project. Either as a cost cutting measure, because Robocop directly conflicts with their illegal projects, or they want to push their own crime fighting projects. Bob was a sleaze as the other anon mentioned, but it seemed like he actually believed in the project. He wasn't the one to put in Directive 4 into Robocop either. Dick Jones says that was his doing.
I wonder if Bob would shut down the Robocop program at the slightest inconvenience or save it.
It was his pride and joy, his child. He was using it to further his career and snatch power from the more senior guys. I definitely think he'd have wanted to keep it going and get more Robocops out on patrol.
Bob was actually excited about the RoboCop program he would've fought to keep it running together with his team. Unfortunately his biggest downfall was his ego going against Dick, and of course coke and b***hes too
>It's a new OCP Executive hot shot episode
>They brainwash children to increase profits and commit crimes
>Prevents Robocop from arresting them since they're technically innocent
That part fricked me up as a little kid
>/LULZ/ regular gives dating a try
Because it's not a human head, the only parts of Murphy that remain are his brain inside a metal head, and the skin of his face removed and placed on said metal head.
But didn't he had a functional mouth that could eat baby food?
Not really, it's goo that goes in a tube or chute to feed his human brain
Because Robocop shoots motherfrickers in the dick.
Harsh scene.
>this was a kids movie in the 80s
well, we've seen how kids have turned out now that all violence was removed from 'kids movies'
Come to think of it, this is obvious in retrospect. A child gets exposed to injustice, existence of evil at an impressionable age so he or she actually cares about it instead of the now normal "lol who cares" and getting back to stare at their glowscreen. Plus at the time there were supposed to be responsible adults who could explain to the kid that injustice does happen, evil people do exist and one has to be prepared to deal with that in a way that doesn't drag him or her down to their level. Now it's just "here's your newest eyePhone, sweetie, it will rot your brain even faster".
The future the ACAB/defund the police crowd want for you.
>implying today's metropolitan police departments aren't 1 step removed from Half-Life 2's Civil Protection
Both 1 and 2 are great, I can't be doing with the third.
It's fun for kids. It's not like there's more story for endless Robocop sequels that adults would enjoy.
>Melts a guys legs with the jetpack exhaust.
>Gives little girl a ride on the same jetpack to fly away.
I'mma call bullshit on this one.
How many people died in that explosion?
corporate drones aren't people
doesn't work
Quick reflexes.
>that mode in the Terminator game that lets you play as an infiltrator
kino
This dude looks and sounds just like Eric Idle. Prove me wrong.
I wonder if they could have explored the implications of innovations with Robocop. They have technology to make cyborgs and replace whole body parts. You can bring someone from death. They have technology to reprogram someone's brain. Yet you never see it outside of Robocop itself.
There's an ad for the artificial heart
Cutting-edge biomedical tech usually goes through decades of both justified and contrived red tape hell before it becomes available to the richest of the richest merely due to absolutely prohibitive costs of manufacture (safety+miniaturisation+efficiency), maintenance, installation, upfront R&D costs, salaries for everyone involved at every stage of this process.
Paul Verhoeven made it immediately clear that he didn't want anything on ED 209 to look cute. He wanted something really hard and mean. Verhoeven had a really severe vision in mind for this thing, a product of modern American design. They'd design it to look neat and then they'd worry about making it work. In other words, these futuristic designers would pay a lot of attention to the cosmetics of it in an attempt to market the thing on looks alone, just like an American car.
The team took a lot of the current design trends into account and mixed them all together, adding things like oil coolers, radiators and heat exchangers, all of which are on the ED-209 robot if you know where to look. The question of eyes came up, but it was quickly decided that it was best to avoid them to show less emotion.
Included were also stabs at current corporate design policy. For instance, there are four huge hydraulic rams on the legs, even though a creature like ED wouldn't need nearly that many. Complete redundancy, a true corporate product. There's also the grill area in ED's head. While some people would look at that and go, "Oh, it's a mouth" it's also a big, obvious, extremely stupid place to put an open area like a radiator on a unit like ED-209.
Then the thing can't even walk down a flight of fricking stairs. As if there are no stairs in the line of policing a city. It's a terrific "shit design".
In my headcannon, Dick Jones watched Macross on coke and saw the Glaug. But he fell asleep while Doctor Who was on and asked for a Glaug that has the staircase abilities of a Dalek.
The scene where Lewis brings his gun at the lava factory and helps him with his aiming was touching.
>everyone wearing safety glasses and hearing protection
>Bob Morton with none and plugging his ears
>/k/, a magical place
Also just noticed and will never be able to unsee.
>second shot has no flash
ROBOBOP
BOBOBOP
SLOB MY KNOB
Horrifyingly rad.
I like the one that shoots both of those guys and then itself.
holy shit that looks good and i hate board games
Robocop if he Japanese.
I wonder if 8 Man is obscure enough for people not to know that it is to Robocop what Kimba was to the Lion King. I'd recommend watching 8 Man After if you're a big Robocop fan.
>I wonder if 8 Man is obscure enough for people not to know that it is to Robocop what Kimba was to the Lion King
The frick do you mean
I think it means that he’s gay and likes gay things but that’s just like, my opinion man
That's our opinion anon
was he already possessed by bob here?
it was plot-armored
This thread made me remember how dogshit the 2014 reboot was
Shooting Robocop in the mouth was the only agreeable scene in Robocop 3. What a stupid movie
I liked the Robocop TV series
Both of them
Wow, they gave the horse a USB spike too?
Robocop 2 feels weird. Parts of it feel like they were pulled right out of some edgy anime OVA from the late 80s.
Could ask the same of BATMAN!
Did everyone know Robocop was a brain in a robot body or did they think he was a guy in a robot battle suit (like iron man)
I sort of assumed that his skull was intact. There’s the scene in the first one where they hack him apart at the waist so it was pretty clear that he was more machine than man
ROBOCOP EAT BULLETS
Ever hear of the Cable maneuver?
CLARENCE
Isn't there a deleted scene where Cain and his girlfriend meet the doctor and see the prototype Robocop 2 body at OCP? I don't know if it was filmed or just something from the script though.
>bad guys are expert marksmen
Criminals are morons who spray and pray. Many gangland drivebys in LA ended up with the target gangbangers alive and well and some 12 year old girl shot in the head.
And to think, Bob would still be alive if he'd just used the peep hole
You're assuming the bad guys have the skill required to shoot at such a difficult area
They did bring this up in the 3rd film. Uno the shitty one that didnt have peter weller.
