What's ur fav Verhoeven sci-fi?
STARSHIP TROOPERS: ruclips.net/video/HI11Akp_FBc/видео.html
TOTAL RECALL: ruclips.net/video/0L0bmr9NLRk/видео.html
My favourite Verhoeven sci-fi has to be Total Recall, because even after all of these years and multiple viewings, you still don't know if the story is just the spy package holiday or if it's real?! :)
Starship is my favorite of his sci fi. Don’t miss Basic Instinct, a great Hitchcockian thriller.
Love Robocop so much but Total Recall to me is peak Verhoeven. PS: hope you're feeling better, Jen.
Total recall for me I mean it's Arnold Schwarzenegger enough said 🙂 .80s sci-fi movies hmmm well running man and predator as it's arnold again 🙌 but also Tron , enemy mine and the so much fun flash Gordon
Awesome movie
"He recognized him! From this [his jaw]!" To be fair, RoboCop also just said the exact same thing Murphy did when he was arresting those guys: "Dead or alive, you're coming with me." That was probably pretty memorable.
Second reaction I have seen this week where this point was missed lol
Sorry to disappoint y'all
@@jenmurrayxo Pshaw. It's your first time watching, but we've seen it several.
@Jen Murray I love it when you get grossed out. You're so funny with best reactions x
@@jenmurrayxo You're doing live commentary, it's to be expected that you might miss a thing during a first watch-through that you wouldn't otherwise. If I had to do live commentary of a movie I never watched before I'd probably miss most of the story so you're doing way better than I could.
"Bitches, leave!" is one of the best lines in cinema ever.
Absolutely genius line.
"I'd buy that for a dollar."
Top 3:
3: Bitches, leave!
2: Dick, YOU’RE FIRED!
1: I’d buy THAT for a dollar!
"Can you fly Bobby?" I literally repeat this line all the time whether it's relevant or not.
“Bitches leave!”
I have the same with: "Your Move, Creep" 😂
I had a boss who I used to say it to. "This is your boss, Bobby." "Do you flyyyy Bobby?" He started laughing.
@@OpenMawProductions 🤣
When was the last time you were psychoanalysed?😜
Hey Jen, It's always funny to see people see Clarence, and say, "Hey is that Red Foreman", when those of us who grew up with this film saw Red Foreman and say, "Holy shit, is that Clarence from Robocop!" Such a great film, and it so represents the 80s,
Wilmer Vanderama, who played Fez, on "That 70s Show" was a big fan of "Robocop", he saw it a lot at his local theater. When he met Kurtwood Smith (Red & Clarence), he was in awe of the man.
Or, you're like me and didn't grow up on either. I was 20 years old when Robocop came out. It wasnt until 11 years later when That 70's Show aired so Red was not recognized. That is, until I watched Robocop again in something like 2001, then it was "Hey, that's Red Foreman!"
The first few times I saw the film (late 1980s/early 1990s), I'd see Clarence and say, "Hey, it's badass Les Nessman!" (from 'WKRP in Cincinnati'), not realizing that it was a different actor.
I just saw him on the A-Team on TV
he plays the worst guys, but everyone says he's the nicest guy ever 😂
Seen a bunch of people reacting to this and for some reason everyone misses that when Robocop confronts Emile at the gas station, Emile recognizes him because of the line "Dead or alive you're coming with Me." and NOT from seeing Robocop's mouth.
This one is my fave of the 3. I’m really moved when Murphy says his name at the end, reclaiming his identity… that’s the real story and it concludes so beautifully. It blew our minds when it came out… and Verhoeven’s style became instantly identifiable. A true classic!
I do enjoy the sequel, but we really didn't need anymore Robocop movies after this first one.
The other thing about him saying his name at the end is his voice is fully human again, compared to when he first talks as Robocop and he sounds robotic. It’s a clever little touch that shows him regaining as much of his humanity as possible.
One of your favorites?
"I can feel them, but I can't remember them." For me, this is the story of Murphy reclaiming his humanity after losing his life. That smile at the end when he said his name :) Peter Weller did an amazing job with the balance between robotic coldness and emerging humanity. He's also in Robocop 2, which is a decent movie, but left after that. I did see RC3 when it came out -- don't remember that much of it, except that it was BAD
Also a reason for why his helmet stays off in the last acts. He wants to rediscover his humanity. Personally I consider Robocop 2 a big step down from the original. I recall it was partially written by Frank Miller, who was a favorite comic artist/writer of mine at the time, but he was one of three writers (which may have been the problem). It wasn't bad but the sequel didn't have the coherence that the first one did.
Yea, also consider Robocop uses his human eye to avoid getting shot by ED209. His human side literally saves him
RoboCop 3 is a richer text than it appears. It touches on the displacement of the urban poor, authoritarian policing, and, in keeping with eighties fears, anxiety about Japanese industrial capacity.
RoboCop 2, like Matrix 4 and Gremlins 2, is both a sequel and a protest. All three are about how Doing This Again Was A Bad Idea, but on multiple levels. If you look at it that way, it’s actually pretty fun.
Yup that's Kurtwood Smith (Clarence Boddicker) who was awesome as Red in That 70's Show. Going from a ruthless villain to a hilarious dad is pretty badass.
Nice of you to cover this one. Its real gem and the theme song is legendary.
fun bit of trivia - Kurtwood Smith met his wife on this movie, she plays the secretary at OCP.
His villainous in the Voyager two parter *Year of Hell* made Clarence Boddicker look like the tooth fairy.
Would have been funny if he say to Bobby, “you going to get a bomb the size of my foot in your ass”
@@Renegade2786, C'mon, he just wanted to get back to his wife. Besides, as was the norm for Voyager, everything he had done over 200 years to countless civilizations, was erased, as his own life was reset. Though, he probably would've continued developing his temporal bag of tricks in the new timeline, at the end.
@PWE_CHANNEL that's right Joan aka Barbara the secretary.
Miguel Ferrer, who was Bob Morton, is a great character actor. My favorite performance of his was in the first miniseries adaptation of King’s The Stand, where he played Flagg’s lead henchman Lloyd. BTW, he’s George Clooney’s first cousin-his mom was Rosemary Clooney, and his dad was Mel Ferrer.
My favourite, no question, is as pathologist Albert Rosenfeld in Twin Peaks.
Yeah, he's a great "that guy that's been in evertyhing". We lost him not too long ago. RIP.
He also voiced the main bad guy in Disney's Mulan (the animated one)
His best performance is in a completely under-the-radar Stephen King adaptation called The Night Flier. Very hard to find these days, but maybe the only film where he plays the lead.
José Ferrer
The OCP suit who likes the "baby food" is played by Felton Perry, who you saw as a firefighter in _The Towering Inferno._ He also played one of Dirty Harry's unfortunate partners, and never got enough recognition.
Something anecdotal Jen. The actor who played Robocop (Peter Weller) went on in real life to get a PHD in Renaissance Architecture.
I love the news, adverts and the TV in this movie .They could have left them out and saved money, but the fact they are there does help build the world.
The live action series they made also had a bunch of those timed to make it hard to tell for a few seconds rather you were watching a normal commercial or an in show commercial and then the commercial would just go off the rails with some over the top bonkers product. It really helped keep the feel of the Robocop universe even though they obviously had to tone down the gore and such for normal TV.
People remembering the wild ads seemed to push commercials in the Robocop direction. Just compare how tame US commercials used to be. Decades after trying to be extreme you'd see even more wilder stuff around the world, but maybe everyone else was already like that. The ones that became real. Defcon: Everyone Dies, like Nuke 'Em in this. Robo2 ad for sunscreen, making fun of earth having no ozone anymore, people looked like blue avatar aliens to sunbathe. There was something just like that. Turned kids into smurfs. Blue sunscreen color for fun but I forget when it was sold only that it made me remember robocop.
Ripped off from The Dark Knight Returns. I'm telling ya..
@@juliangrant9718 Would you mind explaining how? Robocop was released in 87 but the script was sold in 85.
@@hackerx7329 the script was redrafted in 86. Verhoeven left the script in trash for a year. He didn't like the script. He had a few changes made, but not many. The cynical aesthetic of the delivery of the lines wasn't present in the original script. Telecasts wasn't something that was apart of the original script, either. Those were changes made by Verhoeven. He redrafts in 86 right when TDKR comes out. That's not the only thing he took from the comic. Robocop IS Batman. He took the metal Batsuit and fused it with the visor from the Mutants gang. Detroit pretty much feels like Gotham. And what do you know, they get Frank fricken Miller to direct the sequel. Why would they get a comic book writer with no experience in film to direct the sequel to Robocop? They were throwing him a bone, that's why.
Emil didn't recognize Murphy from his face. What he recognized was, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
YES!!
GO ROBO!!
Before Peter Weller was cast as the title character, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Armand Assante, Michael Ironside, Rutger Hauer, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Berenger were considered for the role.
Weller was cast as he had a slimmer frame to fit the suit, as Schwarzenegger was worried that he might look bulky.
Stephanie Zimabalist was considered to play the role of Anne Lewis until Nancy Allen was picked.
Weller lost 3 lbs a day from wearing the suit and couldn't eat any solid food except for Ice cream, oatmeal and yogurt. He had to drink a protein shake during his lunch break.
It was 110 degrees in Dallas Texas where they were filming, so the VFX team had an AC Unit inside the suit to prevent him from passing out.
The Stop motion animation effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippett whom did VFX work for the Star Wars Trilogy, Dragonslayer, RoboCop 2 and 3, JURASSIC PARK, and Starship Troopers. His company, Tippett Studio also did VFX work on The Twilight Saga, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Cloverfield.
The film was a box office success, making $60 million dollars against a $13 million dollar budget.
A classic! It's weird that I remember watching this a lot as a kid. One that my dad bootlegged with the 2 VCR method. That was the coolest thing about VHS in that era. You just hook up a 2nd VCR and record your own copy. Change the speed and fit 3 movies on 1 tape!
Same here. I don’t think we had many tapes that weren’t recorded from tv or another tape.
I find it super weird that the Robocop franchise ended up trying to go down a kid-friendly route as it progressed. There ended up been a full season of a Robocop cartoon on Fox in the late 80s, and there was even Robocop toys, lunch boxes, pencil cases, cereal, and other kid-centric stuff. Also Robocop found his way into pro-wrestling, which is perhaps the weirdest of all
Ironic that a concept about industry trying to turn everything into a marketable product, was ruined by industry trying to turn it into a more marketable product.
Why is it weird? Kids loved this movie! :)
This was typical of many 80's movies. The most extreme version of this phenomenon that I can remember was 'The Toxic Avenger' with its gruesome violence, many nude scenes, racial and sexual slurs etc was able to become a kids show with the merch marketed for kids.
Action figures. Kids loved Robocop regardless if we were allowed to watch it or not. So they catered.
@@AnotherViewer Toxic Crusaders. Troma films are silly fun. More for the teenage Gen X crowd. It strays far from mature viewing. I can see that being twisted into a kids show.
you did great on this one! left in all the iconic lines “can you fly Bobby?” “dead or alive, you’re coming with me” 😂👍
Hey Jen there is some deep scientific research going on in Robocop. Peter Weller (Murphy) said the concept behind Murphy's face being just "pasted" onto Robocop's metal skull was based on psychological research that said a person would eventually go insane if they didn't have a human face to reflect back at them.
It’s also meant to show how we will relate to robots in the near future. Put a face on it, and it seems “natural” and “real”. Like Blade Runner.
@@taoist32
Only there's that pesky thing called the Uncanny Valley.
@@robertlombardo8437 True, which is why I hate those mini statues that look like people. Mannequins creep me out too.
The idea of needing a reflected human face couldn't be true, since humans survived for thousands of years before inventing mirrors, and presumably we weren't insane that whole time.
@ColinFox except for the fact we had other humans to look at. That only became an issue when we started we made art replications of ourselves And they failed to look life-like. And thus the a need to study the anatomical dimensions of humans.
Your reactions are so much fun, and you're one of the few movie watching channels that don't scrub the punchlines on movie scenes before showing your reactions! I LOVE that about your videos so far! You'll show the setup, the punchline AND your reaction and I am so thankful for that. So many of these channels will show the scene setup, but skip the punchline and cut right to their reaction. So frustrating.
At any rate, thank you for providing some entertaining watch/reactions! Can't wait to see more! =)
It’s not Robocop’s face that Emil remembers or keys in on. He remembers Murphy saying his catchphrase, “Dead or alive you’re coming with me”.
'Not a warm hugger' cracked me up.
😂

Been waiting all week for this, my wife and I know it's going to be great. Thanks Jen and crew!
Awesome! 😎👍
Jen, I'm happy to see you COMPLY! The rest of you have 20 seconds to hit the like button, leave a pleasant comment, and then come back for many more reactions. YOU NOW HAVE 15 SECONDS TO COMPLY!

Great to see you here, Eric.
Dead or alive, you are coming with me!
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Nice to see you as well Adam. I'm glad Jen finally got to this one. My screen name can be confusing if you don't get the reference. And yes she should do the sequel, but I agree, stop there.
0:43 Jess Purkins is played by a “reporter” who worked for “Entertainment Tonight” at the time, and the 80s hair was real.
1:14 Before this movie, the only thing I’d seen Peter Weller in was “Buckaroo Banzai.”
1:52 Lewis is played by Nancy Allen, who did a lot of thrillers, including “Carrie,” “Dressed to Kill,” “The Philadelphia Experiment,” and “Blow-Out.”
2:36 If you’ve seen or will see “The Last Starfighter,” the “Old Man” is what Grig looks like if you take his makeup off.
I definitely want to see more reactions to The Last Starfighter
Loved her in the comedy "1941", with people like Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, John Candy, etc.
I say this every time, because it's the truth. I absolutely loved this movie as a child, but didn't realize at the time how absolutely f*cking disturbing of a film this was for a child to be seeing...
💙From Detroit
Verhoeven also directed Hollow Man. Its an invisible man story with Kevin Bacon. I also think that Showgirls nails that Verhoeven satire so perfectly that it hurts the movie.
Paul Verhoeven did Hollow Man? God, no wonder. It all makes sense now.
This movie has a special place. I grew up just south of Dallas. That's where this was filmed. We actually received a door hanger and knock letting us know about blowing up the gas station. City hall is angled like that. They just added the stories above the angle. If I remember correctly, the scene in front of the shops was in a place that is now regentrified as The Cedar. Lots of nostalgia.
I decided to take a drink every time Jen said "RoboCop" and now I can't feel my face.
Given how much fun you had mimicking the movie's sound effects, you'll be happy to know that they won the Oscar that year.
Oh awesome! 🤖👍

The gun the robber was armed with at the convivence store was a British made Sterling Mark 6 Semi-automatic Carbine. It's a civilian version the Sterling Sub-Machinegun. It was fitted with a longer 16" barrel to make it harder to conceal (even though the robber was able to counter this by hiding it under his trench coat) and couldn't fire in full auto as most Sub-Machineguns do. The Sterling gun itself was based off of the earlier and similar looking Sten Sub-Machinegun it was to replace.
0:45 Mark! Oh, my beloved Leeza Gibbons! ❤ Since I've never met her in person, that I'm aware of, I had to ask actor Ronny Cox about the fate of her character. He agreed that it was vague enough to have people guessing. He, too, got curious enough to want to ask about it! 😎
From Verhoeven I would recommend the Black Book (2006). It is a WW2 spy movie and I think it is the most successful Dutch movie ever made.
Your robo impressions and dance moves are unsurpassed. Thanks, Jen.
Thanks Mike 🤖👍
I’ll never forget the lady behind me in the theatre answering that last question at the end.. “Murphy”.. Right before Murphy said it..
Damn right..
The scene where melting Emil came around the corner is the first time that the actor who plays Leon saw the prosthetics. His freaked-out reaction was 100% genuine.
Another 80's sci-fi classic, which just happens to fit into your "what does it mean to be human/alive" quest, is Starman (1984). It was directed by John Carpenter (The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, etc) and stars Jeff Bridges in one of his most iconic roles and Karen Allen of Indiana Jones fame. It's a wonderful and unique cross country exploration of the human condition.
I think a seriously underrated one is Outland. It's not really one of the A-list 80s scifi movies, but I think it's a pretty strong one in the second tier.
@@Yora21 I don't think that's one I've seen. I will seek it out.... Love me some sci-fi, especially when done well.
19:39 You cut out Clarence's iconic "Bitches leave" line, but there's a funny behind the scenes story. Because Paul Verhoeven is Ditch and his director of photography for that scene, Jost Vocano, is German, they didn't realize how offensive the term "bitch" is in English, so they kept addressing and referring to the two actresses as "the bitches" while they directed thscene.
The criminal (Emil) at the gas station recognized Robocop/Murphy from the line he said, "Dead or alive you're coming with me". He said the same line to Emil before they killed Murphy in the warehouse.
One of my all time favorite movies, first saw this at 5 years old when it first came out on VHS… only because my dad rented it from the video store mistaking the title and video cover for a superhero movie. Not only did the movie blow my young mind away but it made me an instant Verhoeven fan ever since, growing up with Total Recall and Basic Instinct. This looks like the R-rated theatrical version, you should see the unrated version (originally got an X-rating that had to be resubmitted to the MPAA 8 times with seconds cut because of the violence, before it could secure its R rating for theatrical release). One of the funnest pieces of trivia is that when Verhoeven first read the script that was sent to him, he got only 2 pages into the script before tossing it in the trash, not taking it seriously like every other potential director that read the script. However Verhoeven’s wife just happened to find the script in the trash, read it with astonishment and encouraged her husband to read it again with looking deeper into the context - that’s when he really got interested and said yes to directed the movie.
This movie is incredible! So much social commentary, sweet humor, and impeccable action!
awesome reaction :D luved Robo so much as a kid i remember somehow getting a cheap autograph from a pro Robocop actor who i thought was the real robocop at that age, performing at like a auto show or really early comic con, and would carry it everyday in a school folder for years. cherished that thing : P
Thank you for singing to the music in the warehouse scene. Poledouris' score makes so much of this film sheer awesome!
“You know what would be handy? A Robo-attorney.” Ouch, Jen. I feel attacked! Not yet.
As always, Jen makes everything better. Jen please consider Metropolis (1927) and Forbidden Planet (1956) for the robots that all other robots aspire to be.
Robbie the robot lived on in multiple TV shows, he was so good. Forbidden Planet was a great movie.
Robocop 2 is worth checking out, after that they really go off the deep end and aren't worth the time.
Love the work your editor is doing with the animations and PSA style graphics, they're quite good and add another element to the reaction.
Definitely agree.
6:54 - I love it when you call out an 'idiot' for doing an 'idiot' move. I find myself doing the exact same thing. "Don't pop your gum, Idiot." Funny.
17:08 The robber recognised that Robocop used the same line as Murphy: 'Dead or alive, you're coming with me!' Good you got around to this one ;)
Awesome movie! What a fun reaction, Jen. The practical effects Verhoeven uses are always top notch. The whole movie is just a great popcorn flick. And I thought it was hilarious that the thing that made you decide you didn't like the villain is because he stuck the gum on the desk name plate 🤣
"The Last Starfighter" is a good sci-fi movie from the 80's. It has some dated but charming early cgi effects. And if you like practical effects you should check out the movie "F/X", from 1986.
RoboCop's pistol is actually a Beretta 93R with cladding to make it look exotic. It was a 9MM with a twenty round magazine that could fire 3 shot bursts.
Ther's more to this movie than just action , violence, gore , robots and corporate greed.
It doesn't look like it at first glance but this movie is much deeper than that.
It's about a decent family man who gets killed, turned in a robot, a product, but then
gets some of his memories, feelings and his humanity back in the end .
A lot of satire of corporate greed , but great classic 80's sc-fi movie.
An 80's masterpiece !
The brutal satire of the excesses of the Ronald Reagan Era makes this film all the more awesome. Director Paul Verhoeven had a savage wit about him.
So glad you got this classic checked off your list, Jen.
Jen, there are some great Sc-Fi Ai films for you to react to, starting with, '2001: A Space Odyssey', more recently there's 'Ex Machina' from 2014 which I highly recommend.
A big, yes, to reacting 'Basic Instinct' it's an excellent, stylish thriller.
29:28 "I don't like that face." Peter Weller said that the reason Murphy's flesh and blood face was put onto Robocop's mechanical head was because there was a psychological study (which I actually happened to read about in Psychology Today back in the 80s) which showed that you would go insane if you saw yourself without a human face for a prolonged period.
Hahahahaha, that you did the foreshadowing with announcing his "death" some minutes before it happened :D
Basic Instinct is a must see also. It'll be tough to get a YT edit as it's very risqué with adult content (nudity & violence). But it's an awesome thriller/mystery/crime drama, and definitely worth checking out.
Ahhh Jen, I was weee lad walking in to the movie lobby. I can remember it like yesterday, when Robocop came out. The theater lobby had a full blown 7-foot version of ED-209 staring you down. -------- It was so next level marketing, so super cool. Ed -209 was definitely the future of unrban unrest passification. Love it.
That sounds awesome!!! 😎👍
Hey Jen, When Clarence gets arrested, he suggested to the director, Verhoven. How about I spit blood and say "Just give me my f-ing phone call". Verhoven smiled and said Yes! This is sick! I Like it!". --------- For sure Director Verhoeven loved to make the action as over the top as possible, just like in Total Recall.
The guy at the gas station didn't recognize his face, he recognized him when he said, "Dead or Alive you're coming with me."
I think all these violent movies are rubbing off on our sweet innocent Jen😂.
If you pay attention, you can hear his voice become less robotic through the progression of the movie.
P.s. that suit took ten hours to get into.
There's a movie out there that's 100% first person pov. It's super violent, and called "Hardcore Henry". Definitely worth watching.
Jen Murray did u know that actor Peter Weller who played Murphy/ Robocop was literally losing water in his body and became so dehydrated because that robot suit was real armor not a plastic suit but heavy armor and extremely difficult to walk around everywhere in ?? It says it in the special features of the 20th anniversary DVD
"I hope that nerd guy's okay." BWAHAHAHAHA!!! 🤣
“There ya go buuuddy.” 😹😹😹😹 Beet reaction to
Ed -209’s stairs encounter.
🤖👍
So I'm not great with stairs. Nobody's perfect. AAHHHHHH! S T A I R S !

@@jenmurrayxo What about RUclips? Unfortunately, patreon is not working for me for various reasons.
@@Emily-tb1cp Unfortunately for me too! Hopefully there will be youtube versions!
@@jenmurrayxo has Jen fallen for Captain Kirk yet?
This is of course the satirical version of Bladerunner's serious examination of the commodification of humanity for profit. Verhoeven's true genius is getting audiences to just go along with concepts that are flat-out morally evil. We should all recoil in horror at what's done to this poor guy. It's the same in my favorite of his films, Starship Troopers, where every member of the cast is virtually devoid of redeeming qualities. He holds a mirror up in front of us all, and does it so skillfully that many don't even notice the monster looking back at them.
Ronny Cox, who plays Dick Jones, also plays Lt Bogomil in the “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise. Nancy Allen, who plays Officer Lewis, also plays the role of Chris opposite John Travolta (Billy) in “Carrie”.
9:36 Mark! By the way, one of William Shatner's "ABC" television series was "TJ Hooker" in which he was a police sargent in Los Angeles! 😎
Another Verhoeven sci-fi film is Hollow Man (2000), but it generally gets mixed reviews. (Some like it, others really don't.)
"This is all from POV! This is so cool!"
For the 1st Person POV movie you want Jen - Hardcore Henry
Also super-violent and super fun!
Great reaction. I loved how you prefixed so much stuff with "robo" 🤣🤣
🤖👍
A true classic. Great choice, Jen. What nobody hasn't mentioned is the genius behind the make-up: Rob Bottin! Man is a true legend. He's also responsible for the sfx in Carpenter's THE THING.
Hi Jen. This movie never gets old. "ROBO REVENGE ", classic 😂 Great reaction video. BTW the character named Emil recognized Robocop from his comeback line "Dead or alive your coming with me ". Murphy said the same line to him earlier in the movie. Thanks again Jen! Keep up the awesome work and adorable quips 😊
Thanks Ricardo 🤖👍
Jen, great reactions to the original Robocop movie!
In my opinion, the sequels aren't as good, but it would still be fun to watch your reactions to them.
Fun fact: The scene where the bad guy is with the secretary of Dick Jones. The actors who played those parts met and got married from doing this movie.
He was “repurposed”! Excellent Jen! 🤣
Iconic '80s sci-fi/action at its very best. Peter Weller kicks so much ass in this film as Murphy/Robo (you need to check him out also in ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI) - and he did the first sequel - the 3rd has Robert John Burke and there was a recent remake co-starring Michael Keaton (all 3 rather meh). The suit for Robo was created by Rob Bottin who did the make-up for THE THING! So cool you dug this Jen (now on to GUMP!)
Probably my most anticipated reaction of yours Jen
😎👍
17:11 Actually, he recognized him from the line "dead or alive, you're coming with me." because that's what he said at the warehouse before they killed Murphy.
This was my favorite of the Verhoeven movies. Gritty, stark, and in your face. This was a hell of a ride.
Another of my faves. Robocop did spawn a lot. There were two sequels and a 2014 remake, all are good despite what you may hear. There was an '88 cartoon series and a '94 live action series. You can call him a Marvel superhero as well, it ran from '90 to '92. Through comics and video games, he's fought the Terminator, Aliens, and the Predator.
Don't forget the Robocop Prime Directives TV movies
"Dead or alive you're coming with me' is what Murphy said to Emil at the abandoned steel works, just before Murphy is killed. He says the same phrase again at the gas station as Robocop, that's why Emil recognises him... The sequels are not as good... You might like to try Automata if you can cope with subtitles.
Robocop's pistol is a Berretta M93 R (Raffica) with a custom muzzle attachment. They were originally going to use a Desert Eagle, that's the shiny pistol that was handed to the guy at the ED-209 demonstration, but it looked small when being handled by Robocop. So they Randy Moore designed the Muzzle device for the Berretta, and the Burst Fire option obviously suited the Robocop character better than a semi-auto. The gun used in Robocop's first encounter at the robbery, is a British Sterling SMG from WWII. If you've seen the original Star Wars films, then you have seen one before, because it's the E-11 Blaster that the Stormtroopers use... :)
The fact his partner stuck with him was so great.
The film is heavily inspired by the Judge Dredd 2000AD comics from the satire to the 1980s cyberpunk setting with Robocop having a more near future feel compared to the much more advanced future in the Judge Dredd comics to the Mutant Toxic Waste which feels pulled out of a more comic book world. The model of Delta City looks very much like Mega City One a massive Mega City taking up the whole East Coast of America in the 2000AD universe. Robocop himself is inspired by Dredd minus the whole judge jury and executioner aspect. Judges in the 2000AD universe are a mix between police officers and judges who can sentence people on the spot while Robocop does not have this ability. Dredd (2012) would be a fun reaction if you liked this film. It's less satire heavily than the comics but focuses more on the single day in the life of Dredd.
Robocop 2 is also really fun directed by Irvin Kershner who directed movies like Empire Strikes Back, less bloody love as the film is only PG-13 but I still like it. The film was written by Frank Miller and Walon Green with Frank Miller being one of the most famous comic book writers of all time from Daredevil: Born Again to Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, 300, Sin City to name a few. Modern Batman films and Daredevil Netflix these were heavily inspired by his comics. Frank Miller also wrote the really fun Robocop vs Terminator comic books under Dark Horse Comics. Marvel also has a good amount of Robocop comics as well starting in 1990.
Overall Robocop is just a blast of a film. Peter Weller voices Batman in the awesome Dark Knight Returns animated movies written by Frank Miller so I guess this is the closest we've gotten to his returning as Robocop in a movie. He has returned to voice the character in Mortal Kombat 11 and Robocop Rogue City a game releasing this year. The actor also played a character in the Star Trek reboots this being my personal last film I've watched with him. Peter Weller returning as Robocop would be really cool like a Michael Keaton Batman return lol
Great reaction.
This is the movie that put Paul Verhoeven on the map. Personally, I find his over-the-top gore gimmicky to the point of distraction. However, he does tell a good story, and the score is very good, too!
I do recommend Robocop 2.
Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers all in the same universe? Great fan-theorizing!
Loved this reaction.
The secretary the 70s Show Dad harasses and sticks his gum on her sign was his real-life wife at the time.
Love this movie and been looking forward to this reaction. Also whenever Jen says to join her patreon I’d just like to say I’d buy that for dollar lol
😎👍
MEDIC!
You're a genius Jen and you should write a movie.
😂👍
The “gun with the thing on the side” was a civilian long barreled, semi-automatic version of the Sterling submachine gun. Side-mounting the magazine, like that was a feature of a number of WW2-era submachine guns in Europe.
Movie trivia: That same weapon served as the model for the “E11 blaster,” the short guns used by Star Wars storm troopers. A number of blank-firing versions were used in those films. The magazine sticking out of the left side, is why a lot of the storm troopers in the movies seem to be carrying it left handed.
The guy who did the makeup effects for this movie also did the Thing and Total Recall. Murphy without his helmet has to be some of Rob Bottin's absolute best work. My recommendation isn't a sci-fi, but the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Conan the Barbarian would be a great 80s movie to check out as well. The composer for Robocop also did the music for Conan and I'm sure you'll enjoy it quite a bit
Not too many people can handle the blood and skin melting gore from this movie, so big props to you Jen for taking it like a champ! : )
Also, when it comes to sci-fi movies feature AI, you simply must watch the animated masterpiece "Ghost in the Shell" from 1995(which was inspired by Blade Runner) and then maybe the live action version from 2017 starring Scarlett Johansson that was pretty good! I know you'll really enjoy them! Cheers
Ghost in the shell...GREAT RECOMMENDATION! I second this!
@@e.d.2096 How do you feel about the live action adaptation? At first I didn't like it because I was concentrating on everything it didn't do right, but the more I've watched it, the more I've enjoyed it for what it is on its own merits.
@@TerminatorJuice I was not aware of a' live' adaptation so I'm sorry I really can't comment about it. The film is beautifully done though!
@@e.d.2096 You didn't know that they released a live action Ghost in the Shell movie in 2017? You should check it out if you're a fan of the anime
@@TerminatorJuice Thanks, I'll definitely look into it.
Robocop 🙂 wasn't expecting this to drop just now but to quote a line from the movie sort of "give that lady a hand " 👏 this is going to be a lot of fun and so I'm hitting start rn 👍 hoping for a wisdom nugget or two 🤞
☺️👍
This Classic made growing up in the 80's so much fun! It was even turned into a saturday morning Cartoon! The amazing film score is by Basil Poledouris, who also scored the incredible Original CONAN The Barbarian, a Must Watch 80's classic! Can not recommend it enough just for the music alone!
Murphy’s line,is,what made the criminal recognize him.
This is Paul V's most violent, most gruesome movie, the best!!
In Starship Trooper they literally kill hundreds of thousands, or even millions if you count Buenos Aires...
Paul Verhoeven is one of those directors who on his own when it comes to film making, My fav is Flesh + Blood (not sure how you'd edit for RUclips) and some of his early work is worth checking out again can be very adult. His last few films have been made in Europe and a bit under the radar but again worth a watch. I see he's returning to America to make a film called Young Sinner which will reunite him with Edward Neumeier who wrote the Robocop script.
29:00 From what I understand, this one actor had not been in makeup and prosthetics during rehearsals, so this other actor's reaction is largely genuine.
