The filmmakers were fascinated by the fact that a man of such incomparable evil could be such an ordinary man who wears glasses and does not exude physical power, so Clarence Boddicker is similar: he wears glasses and he is nothing special physically, but his mind is utterly evil.

      That was the primary concept of using a human brain to build robocop. They wanted a “good cop” with years of service/experience so that they wouldn’t have to preprogram every possible scenario and judgement that a cop might have to experience for robo to use.

    - Reason Alex didn't immediately die from the ambush at the beginning is he had body armor that kept him alive until the hospital.
    - Alex wasn't just chosen because he was a cop who died in the field; he was an HONEST, not corrupt, headstrong, good cop who wanted to do well in law enforcement...his mindset wouldn't let him go insane in the robot armor. So OCP took his brain and face when his body died...the essence of Murphy is in Robocop
    - Peter Weller was only the actor who was cheap enough, willing to be under the visor so his face isn't shown most of the movie, and can actually fit into the suit. Arnold and Stallone were considered but they were none of the above
    - Paul the director was not fluent in English and missed the point of the movie at first. His wife got the script out of the trash, read it and convinced him it has a lot more substance than he read first. The key scene was when Alex goes back to visit his family home after his dreams.
    - Total Recall, Starship Troopers and this movie is considered Paul's futuristic trilogy that really played to his over the top ultraviolence mixed with social commentary of society

    • @Deined
      @Deined Год назад +1

      Eh, your first point doesn't really take. Murphy's body armor actually didn't protect him because:
      - Boddicker's gang shot him with a lot of high-powered firearms that could penetrate it, and
      - They also shot him in areas that the armor wasn't covering. They shot his legs, literally blew off his arm, and blew a hole in his head.
      Just about the only reason Murphy survived long enough for the EMT's and doctors to futilely work on him was plot.

    • @Powerfull4u
      @Powerfull4u 7 месяцев назад

      @@DeinedEhm, that's what is actually shown in the movie, so it did. And it is not as crazy as you make it out to be :
      - Boddicker's gang wasn't using "high-powered firearms", they were using shotguns, powerful but not great at penetrating even modern armor without specialized ammunition, and this is "future" armor. They would probably still cause damage through the armor and the guy DID finally die, but not kill him on the spot.
      - Armor WAS covering his vitals. Them shooting him in other places would not be immediately fatal. Neither loosing his arm, nor having his legs shot would kill him on the spot. And the head shot was in the upper right area, probably only barely hurting his brain. People have survived headshots as well.
      - The man DID die. That his heart was still beating when he reached the hospital is not as far fetched as you make it sound.

    Definitely check out the other 2 films in his sci-fi ‘trifecta’, “Total Recall” (the 1990 version, NOT the 2012 remake) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and “Starship Troopers”. He actually did 1 other sci-fi film called “Hollow Man”, but he’s mostly known for “Robocop”, “Recall” and “Troopers”.
    Additionally, there are 2 sequels and a short-lived TV series based on this film, none of which had any involvement with Verhoeven. “Robocop II” is worth a look, but the rest…meh.
