You could say that, but the uncut movie has its tongue planted so firmly in its cheek it would be hard to spoof anyway. I'd say RoboCop 2 was even more of a comedy than an action movie.
That’s the first time I’ve heard scumbag and schmuck get censored too. The 90s and early 2000s were even worse than I thought when it comes to movies over the PG-13 rating.
I always thought the "why me" line worked better, it makes the robber into a bumbling character who keeps screwing up robberies and can never catch a break.
@@fightingforce8498Except the F me line repeated over and over was more authentic. Apparently the actor saw the robocop suit for the first time in this scene for real and forgot his lines afterward. The director liked it and decided to keep the scene in. The why me just feels forced.
The rotoscoped bra was actually pretty impressive. These days TV edits never use that kind of creativity, everything is simply just chopped out to the point where scenes often make zero sense anymore.
@@sancm8898 I wonder if it's a coincidence that they used rotoscopy for 2 different Verhoeven film TV edits, or if he personally had some hand in making sure that there was a version that could play on TV without the scenes being cut... Does anyone know if the coed shower scene in Starship Troopers has a similar TV edit?
There are better aired edits. RoboCop says there will be trouble, the goon says "YEAH! FOR YOU!" Or in the bathroom, the exec says "once I even called him.....a lot worse"
Ah yes, the infamous "ABC Version". "Although edited for television, tonight's program contains scenes of violence which may not be suitable for younger viewers. Parental discretion is advised."
This was hilarious it's like listening to a joke and you're trying to anticipate the joke and you get something you didn't expect and you wet yourself.I was trying to anticipate what he was going to say before he said it and it ended up being something I completely didn't expect and found it hilarious. Especially in the context of how angry he is it just doesnt fit at all which makes it the more funnier.
@@MoskHotel I've seen that too and that works perfecatlly, you don't see emil's blood on the windshield and clarance doesn't swear, he just throws on this sour look:D
I'm surprised they kept Emil's disfigurement in there at all. When we watched it as kids, my friends reacted more strongly to that than to anything else in the whole movie.
I remember the infamous ABC edit like yesterday.... "I used to call the old man funny names.... Iron Butt.... Bumbler.... I even called him..... a lot worse." "Your company built the freaky thing, now I gotta deal with it?! I don't have time for you big shots!" "Come quietly, or there will be... trouble." "Yeah........ for YOU!" 😂😂😂
Actually in Islam they are allowed to say "Allah" as an exclamation, the same way we say "Oh my God". It's allowed and very common and not seen as Blasphemous, especially in Sports Commentary.
The word "Damn" is banned by Religious nuts in America because it's seen as religious, meaning Damnation. Plus when you add God it's seen as double. Yet in the UK I've heard it on children's shows.
Yes, "Damn" is not seen as an expletive in the UK and is allowed on kids shows and movies targeted at 7-14 year olds. It's not regularly used but it has been. The kids show "Knightmare" even had a borderline joke in the 1980's calling a stone character "Granitarse" (like Granit Arse) and the kids and adults laughed even though Arse is usually not allowed.
I always thought of Emil's original fate as an involuntary act of mercy. With this new edit he's doomed to die a prolonged and even more horrible death.
Personally, I feel like this was the one time I loved censorship for a film. Given how Robocop itself was satiric with several themes, it seemed almost fitting it went a step further with these 'kid friendly' alterations that were still bad but bloody hilarious!
The edits in this were clearly a labour of love. I recorded it on VHS when it was on TV (despite owning the original), really wish I knew what I'd done with it! This was comedy gold 😂
@@Memovich47 wow, easy there Dirty Harry. He deserved a trail. If he ask for mercy kill then it's a big grey area. In world of Robocop running someone over or shooting him in the dick might seem like a just thing to do, but those things happened because Justice Department and Police were dismantled by corporation. It's the whole movie premise, a robotic slave doing his master bidding while his mind is trying to liberate himself by connecting him to his stolen past.
Lol, i had to look it up- blaggard. Noun. (plural blaggards) (dated) A scoundrel; an unprincipled contemptible person; an untrustworthy person. Usually, only used to refer to a male person.

frame by frame painting is how all the early special effects were done. by the time robo cop rolled around, we did indeed have CGI as well, and it is used in the movie. however, it was still _way_ cheaper to do frame by frame paintings, and they also looked way better than CGI at the time. i can guarantee that bra is a frame painting. there is no way they would shell out the amount of money it would need at the time for a CGI bra, not to mention it would look insanely noticeable if it were CGI.
They showed this dubbed version on ITV in the UK! It's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Harry Enfield does a good sketch called Badfellas, specially ruined for TV.
While I was reading your comment in my own head I changed the audio quality of the voice I was imagining to sound like an ADR line once I got to the words "my head off".
I have a copy of the ITV version in the UK which featured Kinney being shot in the boardroom but miraculously there's no blood on the front when he gets shot.
I have a copy of this on VHS from when I watched it in the mid-90s, I was absolutely blown away with how much of the original film made it into the broadcast violence-wise, but it was the profanity that got redubbed which is actually pretty creative on the network's part

Daniel Clark Definitely. Better than TWD’s lack of explicit swearing. Another sample was from Boddicker where he said: “Your company built that freaky thing. Now, I gotta deal with it?! I don’t have time for your big shots!”
In the UK, we were once subjected to an edited version of Midnight Run, which has a ton of swearing, mostly 'fuck', 'fucking' and variants thereof. All 'fuck's were replaced by 'stink's, so we'd get dialogue like "Marvin, gimme a stinking gun".
America fu....yeah oops America Hell Yeah ..... lol Male titties are okay Female titties oh nooooo because it's erotic or shows a sexual part from a body .... America and some other countries are going way too far into censoring stuff these last two decades . If you see historicaly wise what people did centuries back it's way differently than this overprotection bullshit we have today . Humanity goes to it's worse now . They were more intellectual back then .
@Suffer No Fools Q: Since when has cursing words being so hurtful ? A: Since some women woke up a certain era , decade and even century . Q: Since when curse words really hurts to make an indivudual person ( male or female ) unstable to comit suicide for example ? A: None since the media exist Paper, Radio, TV and Internet many people plays the poor victim . But these last two decades are worse into that . Q: When a white person say nigger to a black person ( similar as a black person say you're a cadaveric person to a white ) shouldn't be both of them put into justice for the same racial problems ? ( since so called there's no more need to be blabla this or that ) A: No since there's still the same clichés offered . Claiming that whites always had black slaves which the otherwise also existed since centuries . Q: North America seems to still living decades ago late why always putting the exact same clichés whatsoever in movies ? A: For certain people to play the victim which many of them are more intellectual they seem to be pure evident fact . Q : Why cursing words are since these last three decades again censored since before no one gave a shit about it ? A: Because people take all way too personally instead to take everything with a sane second&third degree . Q: Why everything is so called bad today ? By that question i mean stupid nutritionists with some bachelor claiming everything is cancerous from back then . And none ever died from xxx so called disease . A: Because today no one knows shit about anything anymore . Plain simple . Western people needs their Western food to live similar as for every other countries/continent . Q: Is being Vegan great ? A: No because every individual person needs his/her own energy and not be punished because some weirdo group such as "PETA" for example are whining babies from rich parents . So cursing words has never offended me fuck fuck fuck , tits , tits, tits, dick, dick, dick .... Really some people as generations should really fart a big fart and then laugh about instead to be constipated from the arse ....
My very first time watching this movie was on ITV in the 90's, it was so heavily censored but man, what an experience when I saw it uncut in later years!
I saw Predators on tv the other day, you know that scene where the gang are double crossed by Noland, and Royce blows the side of the ship, and the convict says "That didn't open up Shit!" in this tv version he shouts "That didn't open up Shoes!" I was like, what?
Your company built the freaky thing! Now I gotta deal with it? I don't have to time for this bologna!" I love that he just drives around the toxic dude.
ah man this cut is pure comedy gold XDXDXD get some mates over n just crack up at the sheer pretzels these guys are trying to jump through to sanitize this for tv, love it XDXD Clarence "you, you Burnt the..MONEY!!! ITs as good as marks you Dipstick, you stupid, stupid, STUPID....!!!!" for some reason that line always stuck with me, thanks so much for putting this together XDXD
ITV in the UK used to screen a few of these US TV versions. A few from memory: Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Ghostbusters, Tango & Cash, An Innocent Man, Heartbreak Ridge, AWOL, Aliens, Robocop, Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Beverly Hills Cop, Sharky’s Machine...
The TV edit that my dad taped and I watched for years as a kid completely cut out Emil melting. He crashes into the vat and that's the last you see of him. You can imagine my surprise seeing the proper VHS as a 10 year old that he crawls out melting away and then gets totally splatted.
The counter argument would be that violence on this scale isn’t something that can be emulated however the minor infractions of swearing and nudity are. I think the swearing is fine because it adds to the emotions and personality of characters but I fully understand why they would censor a woman’s breasts. It doesn’t add anything to the the movie. It’s just gratuitous nudity famously used in the 80s.
Man, I watched the uncensored version here in Sweden, back in the 80s when I was around 8 or whatever. I probably should’ve waited a few years.. 😅 Still one of my favorite movies all time! Haha, that’s funny, the edited it so he drove past him! 😄 Thanks for sharing!!
ED 209: "You are in direct violation of Shakespearean language section 9. Speak without cursing or I shall have to censor you. You have 20 seconds to comply"
Man this became legendary at school. Most of us had watched the full uncensored cut on VHS so every swear word was already memorized. I think "Why me?" took the title for the most ludicrous.
"Why me?" always stuck out in my memory, but "You're gonna be a bad mother-crusher!" tops it by a mile for me. Whenever I think of bad TV edits, that's the line that comes to mind first, followed by "Why me?" as a second example. But RoboCop is _the_ definitive TV edit in my book.
I remember Robocop been on itv in the Uk somewhere around in the early nineties and been heavily cut like this,no swear words and very little violence.
It was probably from a cut scene because the stunt driver would have to move anyway so he wouldn't hit the other stuntman in the heavy makeup. They just played the same camera footage for a longer amount of time.

Daniel Clark Definitely. Better than TWD’s lack of explicit swearing.
Another sample was from Boddicker where he said: “Your company built that freaky thing. Now, I gotta deal with it?! I don’t have time for your big shots!”
I like that. It makes sense.
I didn’t know “schmuck” is a curse word
Thats what I thought too
Or scumbag.
Or 'pissed'. Can't believe TV was so laughably puratin back then.
@@echelon2k8 Any variation of piss makes sense, it was one of the 7 words in George Carlin's joke.
@@dwn060clownman Must be an American thing.
In the UK, we were once subjected to an edited version of Midnight Run, which has a ton of swearing, mostly 'fuck', 'fucking' and variants thereof. All 'fuck's were replaced by 'stink's, so we'd get dialogue like "Marvin, gimme a stinking gun".
Emil still lives... ONLY in the "Edited for Television" version!
Bob Morton:
I freakin’ love ❤️ that guy!
In Mother Crushia RoboCop edits himself.
In the UK this is the version we had on tv. This and Beverley hills cop had a lot of bad language in and I didnt realise it until years later.
So... extreme ultra violence okay, durty werds HELLO NO. Thanks cencorship!
Welcome to America
Also not okay - TITTIES!
@@rubberghost8566
Awwwwww but I wuv titties :(
America fu....yeah oops America Hell Yeah ..... lol
Male titties are okay Female titties oh nooooo because it's erotic or shows a sexual part from a body ....
America and some other countries are going way too far into censoring stuff these last two decades . If you see historicaly wise what people did centuries back it's way differently than this overprotection bullshit we have today . Humanity goes to it's worse now . They were more intellectual back then .
@Suffer No Fools
Q: Since when has cursing words being so hurtful ?
A: Since some women woke up a certain era , decade and even century .
Q: Since when curse words really hurts to make an indivudual person ( male or female ) unstable to comit suicide for example ?
A: None since the media exist Paper, Radio, TV and Internet many people plays the poor victim . But these last two decades are worse into that .
Q: When a white person say nigger to a black person ( similar as a black person say you're a cadaveric person to a white ) shouldn't be both of them put into justice for the same racial problems ? ( since so called there's no more need to be blabla this or that )
A: No since there's still the same clichés offered . Claiming that whites always had black slaves which the otherwise also existed since centuries .
Q: North America seems to still living decades ago late why always putting the exact same clichés whatsoever in movies ?
A: For certain people to play the victim which many of them are more intellectual they seem to be pure evident fact .
Q : Why cursing words are since these last three decades again censored since before no one gave a shit about it ?
A: Because people take all way too personally instead to take everything with a sane second&third degree .
Q: Why everything is so called bad today ? By that question i mean stupid nutritionists with some bachelor claiming everything is cancerous from back then . And none ever died from xxx so called disease .
A: Because today no one knows shit about anything anymore . Plain simple . Western people needs their Western food to live similar as for every other countries/continent .
Q: Is being Vegan great ?
A: No because every individual person needs his/her own energy and not be punished because some weirdo group such as "PETA" for example are whining babies from rich parents .
So cursing words has never offended me fuck fuck fuck , tits , tits, tits, dick, dick, dick ....
Really some people as generations should really fart a big fart and then laugh about instead to be constipated from the arse ....
My very first time watching this movie was on ITV in the 90's, it was so heavily censored but man, what an experience when I saw it uncut in later years!
I like the “why me” more honestly.
"You try to get backup when you're in a jam" is a phrase I've heard in repeat during my adolescence.
I really love that guy!
"Why me?"
Dont know, man. Could be because youre commiting crimes.
Damn, Emil suffered even more thanks to the censorship
I saw Predators on tv the other day, you know that scene where the gang are double crossed by Noland, and Royce blows the side of the ship, and the convict says "That didn't open up Shit!" in this tv version he shouts "That didn't open up Shoes!" I was like, what?
😆😆😆😆 this is so funny. I remember the edited version on TV
I never knew there was a TV version untill i saw clips on RUclips😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
"Once I even called him... airhead"
5:04 fun fact, Red improvised that blood spit, it wasn't in the script.
It wasn't in the edited for TV version either 😄
That's blasphemy to call Clarence "Red". Anytime I ever watched That '70s Show, Eric's dad was Clarence Boddicker.
"Shut your face up and do it" is fantastic.
Your company built the freaky thing! Now I gotta deal with it? I don't have to time for this bologna!"
I love that he just drives around the toxic dude.
Wow, to think this was the version of RoboCop I must've seen on TV back when I was a kid
ladies leave..he almost made it sound like he don't really want them to leave at all😎😎😎
ah man this cut is pure comedy gold XDXDXD
get some mates over n just crack up at the sheer pretzels these guys are trying to jump through to sanitize this for tv, love it XDXD
Clarence "you, you Burnt the..MONEY!!! ITs as good as marks you Dipstick, you stupid, stupid, STUPID....!!!!"
for some reason that line always stuck with me, thanks so much for putting this together XDXD
"Bitches leave." Is my favorite quote from this movie.
ITV in the UK used to screen a few of these US TV versions. A few from memory: Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Ghostbusters, Tango & Cash, An Innocent Man, Heartbreak Ridge, AWOL, Aliens, Robocop, Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Beverly Hills Cop, Sharky’s Machine...
Yes. And well after the watershed too so it made no sense. ITV or UTV as it was here, were the worst for it.
"He's a bad mother crusher."
I am sure that was "He's a bad Melon Farmer" in the one I had taped off TV in the UK.
"This is what happens when you Find a Stranger in the Alps, Larry!"
The TV edit that my dad taped and I watched for years as a kid completely cut out Emil melting. He crashes into the vat and that's the last you see of him.
You can imagine my surprise seeing the proper VHS as a 10 year old that he crawls out melting away and then gets totally splatted.
"YOU STUPID STUPID STUPID" - Clarence
2:17 : (delivery of line is absolute shock and disbelief)
2:20 : (delivery of line is “aw man, life is so unfair! Not again!”)
Why me!
"Crumbag", instead of "Scumbag"? That's when you just KNOW they're trying to get the kids onboard
Yeah some of these are excessive even by TV censorship standards. "Crumbag" is something I'd expect to hear in a film aimed at 7 year olds.
ah yes because violence is totally fine but oh they said a bad word or oh that's a woman without full body clothing we gotta edit that out
ah yes because the violence was edited also, don't act like they didn't touch it
The counter argument would be that violence on this scale isn’t something that can be emulated however the minor infractions of swearing and nudity are.
I think the swearing is fine because it adds to the emotions and personality of characters but I fully understand why they would censor a woman’s breasts. It doesn’t add anything to the the movie. It’s just gratuitous nudity famously used in the 80s.
Somehow "fucking around with your suspect" sounds less scandalous than "fooling around with your suspect"
6:02-He's alive in that version?!?!
Yeah, I believe that's where the inspiration for William Ray "Pudface" Morgan from RoboCop - The Series came from.
Cruelest thing Clarence did was to leave that poor airhead alive
According to IMDb, the other version was he didn't get run over but eventually melted into a pile of goo and died anyway
So I guess the melting man survived in this version. Well, for a couple more minutes at least.
I don't know why...but "Get Lost!" had me laughing for a whole 5 minutes :) 4:44
they really censored "Shmuck". We live in a society
*5:58** - AHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH THEY MADE HIM DRIVE AROUND EMIL!!!!* 😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite edit! :))
@@VaderPopsVicodin10 I feel the same for your username 🤣👍👍
Man, I watched the uncensored version here in Sweden, back in the 80s when I was around 8 or whatever. I probably should’ve waited a few years.. 😅 Still one of my favorite movies all time!
Haha, that’s funny, the edited it so he drove past him! 😄
Thanks for sharing!!
Haha always remember the “I don’t have time for this baloney!”
ED 209: "You are in direct violation of Shakespearean language section 9. Speak without cursing or I shall have to censor you. You have 20 seconds to comply"
I would love to obtain a copy of the heavily censored version. Can anyone help?
They still show it on cable tv in America. Message me, I might be able to help you
If I could figure a way to message you directly on here I would. Thanks for the offer too
I would like to know how the shooting of Mr. Kenny plays out in the censored version.
Do they still show the blood splatters?
Killeric Longstar I remember seeing that they just didn't cut to Kenny at all exept the shot where he falls on the city model.
The full censored version is right here on RUclips for free.
Man this became legendary at school. Most of us had watched the full uncensored cut on VHS so every swear word was already memorized. I think "Why me?" took the title for the most ludicrous.
"Why me?" always stuck out in my memory, but "You're gonna be a bad mother-crusher!" tops it by a mile for me. Whenever I think of bad TV edits, that's the line that comes to mind first, followed by "Why me?" as a second example. But RoboCop is _the_ definitive TV edit in my book.
"Crumbag" haha! Did they edit the violence as much as this? I don't remember Robocop being cut as much.
l didn't know scumbag was a cuss word. LOL!
Kevin Davis a scumbag is another name for a condom
if your condoms are getting scummy, then you need to go see a doctor, Boyo!
DurkMcGerk Nope. Not even close. Go Google the definition for 'scumbag'.
I remember Robocop been on itv in the Uk somewhere around in the early nineties and been heavily cut like this,no swear words and very little violence.
Those TV versions sure did...stay out of trouble!
Blood sucker? So Robo is a vampire? Alright then. 😅 and Emil lived!!! That's a lot worse actually.
I enjoy the extra emphasis they put on all the other words making these insults even more emotionally charged.
The only thing that would be censored these days are the f bombs. TV is less restrictive now.
*That's pretty cool! I never knew they filmed a scene where he swerves instead of hitting him with the car!*
Makes it more torturous for him to die.
It was probably from a cut scene because the stunt driver would have to move anyway so he wouldn't hit the other stuntman in the heavy makeup. They just played the same camera footage for a longer amount of time.
