@@williamsandell3260 Really, I did find them here on YT some time ago. They go to a news break and Lewis is interviewed from getting hurt, the I'll buy that for a dollar gets busted for something and in another clip, Murphy goes to the cemetery. also the two writers of the script in commentaries said the other clips were filmed and decided to end this way as mentioned. . that's what seen in many items here and there
It really does. I saw it in the theaters back then and while some of the more sadistic scenes are harder for me to take now, the movie as a whole is a classic.
I also liked his acting when Murphy first enters the room. He's clearly annoyed at someone barging in, yet still remains professional and asks "How can we help you officer?"
I like how the old man referred to Murphy as officer and son. At the end he even asked for his name. He didn't give him any indignity of being a soulless robot. I know none of it's ever explicitly said or shown in the film, but I get the implication that he understood and approved of Robocop based on Morton's presentation after ED-209 slaughtered Mr Kinney. I get the vibe that he largely left Morton to his own devices and understood they were going to use a human donor, but didn't realise to the extent they would blank Murphy's memory and further augment his body. That's one of the more beautiful implied ideas to me, that he expected Robocop to answer with his human name and saw him as Murphy in a robot suit. Then all we could observe was a soulless cardboard cutout bureaucrat in Robocop 2.
The Old Man is the former head of OCP so playing the rolls of both a individual who shows respect and a soulless bureaucrat fits him perfectly, it makes sense he’d show respect for Murphy since the man just saved his life, and meanwhile in the 2nd movie due to Directive 4 still existing, he doesn’t really need to feel fear as Murphy and Cain are both under the effect of that directive. Not to mention he was the one who wanted the creation of Delta City via any means necessary, then come Rogue City and we see that he wanted not only immortality but also the spotlight that Murphy acquired amongst the people
Nowadays, they churn up about 5min's worth of dialogue about how they have suffered, how they need something and how they - yes, they - should have the attention and say that's the "arc" and I am like "sheesh, it's like hearing a bus timetable read." One word from Murphy then straight into the ending music and I am like "yup, got all that"
What makes the movie iconic is it was the humanity/empathy Murphy retained that made him the hero. The female cop recognizing his jaw and triggering something was great too. Murphy was definitely a Mary Sue archetype but that works because it balanced the machine part of the cyborg. Definitely a movie that had a solid end that should have been an one off.
Shame he didn't erase that mistake... Life lesson there kids if Bob Morton makes a mistake you damn well better erase it otherwise its long arm death falls for you
@@IronMan-tk8uc you mean you are not enjoying endless marvel movies, woke Disney dirge and numerous remakes, reboots sequels & prequels with clueless actors? surely not :o)
"How can we help you, officer?" the old man said when Robocop entered the boardroom. Perhaps it's good idea to make Robocop in shape of a human, helps people relate.
+drpapa26 So true. Even more so because of how the new film ended in such an unsatisfying way. I thought for sure that Michael Keaton's character was going to get shot off of the roof of the helipad at the end just like Dick Jones, but all he got was some lead in the chest. So weak. So unsatisfying. Like eating takeout Chinese.
I am now 44yrs old, from a country in middle east, I have always loved this version of Robocup, never had a family, but watching you, was an emotional protection when I was a teen. Thank you
When I first saw the movie in the theatre as a kid, many in the audience called out loud in synch with him: ''MURPHY!!!!" What a fucking epic moment! I ll never forget that!
@@zarthbacon wasn't Morton a friend of his, if I remember correctly? So yeah it makes sense he would be happy to see the guy that killed his friend get his comeuppance. Check out the look on his face when RoboCop plays the video evidence.
As a kid I loved the action in the movie. As an adult I realize the social commentary and economic problems shown in the movie are still relevant today in the real world.
When I was a kid I begged my mom to let me watch Robocop when I finally got to I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. To this day it is still my favorite movie.
How many movies would have answered "what's your name" with a a dramatic pause Robo looks at the camera and says "my name is..." It pauses for suspense and then he says "Robocop" slowly. But this movie does something different, it's simple Robo paused momentarily because he's taken back that someone recognizes the human in him, he finally feels confident that he is Murphy and he responded accordingly. Amazing writing
Everyone there for the most part hated Dick. They made Robocop in a way to top him and ED. And boy was that true.. lol. Johnson's reaction helped to make the scene perfect.
+TalkRuss Ronny Cox was pretty good as Dick Johnson, but he was essentially typecast as the same ethically - challenged, selfish, cowardly, ham - fisted one - dimensional bad guy : an admiral in ST: TNG, or fictional senator then vice - president Kinsey in Stargate SG1.
Much respect and credit to Weller. Even though it was mostly plastic the suit still weighed nearly 100 pounds, he still made it work. The two most difficult scenes to film were the simplest looking: catching the car keys, the hands were made of foam rubber and the keys would bounce off. Also the scene where he walks down the stairs in the nightclub because walking up or down was almost impossible in the suit.
"Nice shooting son, what's your name?" Murphy. *roll credits* Subtle. Emotional. Powerful. Brilliant. In the final moment of the film, Robocop becomes human again.

+SquidkidMega Watch Mad Max: Fury Road, directed by the legendary George Miller who did the other 3 previous Mad Max films. Fury Road is one of the best action movies i've ever seen and it's great to see George Miller showing today's filmmakers how to do an action film fucking right!
HerbSuperb44 Yeah, I was kinda skeptical when I first heard about the movie since it wasn't going to have Mel Gibson, he's iconic as Mad Max, but Tom Hardy did a great job and the Mad Max movies have always been kinda James Bond-ish with their continuity. I didn't even know that Tom Hardy was the actor who played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises until recently lol. After the movie was released all I heard about was how awesome the movie was, particularly from the Half In The Bag review (which i only watched the beginning of to avoid spoilers), so I then started to get hyped for it, but holy shit I didn't expect it to be that fucking good. The last action movie to surprise me that much was Dredd 3D, which feels like it was directed by Paul Verhoeven even though it wasn't lol.
The world had never seen a movie like this before as it was the first of it's kind, Robocop was awesome. Movies like this and Terminator were the new style of Sci-Fi. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the classic movies & music, YOU were blessed.
took me a while to realize that at the movie's climax, Murphy's voice no longer has the robotic effect. Perhaps symbolizing that his humanity has returned.
First R-Rated movie that I ever saw on the big screen...........had kind of a sheltered childhood. This was quite the ultra-violent SHOCK!! Actually, now, this is one of my very favorite movies. It's Paul Verhoeven's MASTERPIECE.
One of the best endings of all time in a movie, especially of this genre and its over the top intent. You could hear both men and women sniffling after he said MURPHY and they cut to the credits. Sheer genius.
I also noticed that it's full frame when Murphy twirls then holsters his gun at the end. The callback to his son's show TJ Lazer at the beginning about he does that after the bad guy gets blown away and the sort of Western feel to it complete with the line "Nice shooting son, what's your name?" (Western's usually saying the gunslinger going something non-descript or silence) with him flashing a triumphant smile and "Murphy" to the triumphant music is like icing on a cake. It's rare to have an ending so memorable.
One of the last rated "R" movies marketed for kids. I had all the Robocop toys, clothes, and Nintendo game. Can't forget the Saturday morning cartoon either.
"Whatever happens, this corporation will live up to the guiding principles of its founding; courage, strength, conviction." 1 minute later "Anybody tried to stop me, the old geezer gets it!" LOL!
Filmed in Dallas - that’s Dallas City Hall at the beginning, you can see Reunion Tower in the background at 0:13 and the Fountain Place office building outside the window at 1:01
@@blueschewy2558 every remake/delayed sequel is inferior to the original in every way, everytime. The one they've gotten right is Cobra Kai. Phenomenal job by everyone top ro bottom.
1. “The old geezer gets it!” 😂🤣😂 Gotta love Ronny Cox… 2. The sheer delight in the smile and thumbs up dude gives Murphy after he shoots Dick to pieces…priceless. 👍🏾 😂
Robocop: Brilliant masterpiece Robocop 2: Mildly entertaining Robocop 3: WTF is this shit? Rebootcop: Forgot about it before reaching the theater parking lot.
When he says Murphy, his voice cracks a little sounding more human. That wasn't a mistake. It was done on purpose to show that Alex Murphy's personality was slowly returning. For all its action, this movie has many layers.
Now THAT would be a bad-ass crossover. Robo-Trinity. Of course, 90's Keanu Reaves was ALREADY robotic, so he wouldn't have had to vary his voice that much...
Love this scene, not only bc Murphy finally closes the case by getting Dick Jones but bc it shows that the Old Man, despite what people think, has some knowledge of whats going on. When Murphy walked in on the meeting he was one of few people who wasnt shocked by it and knew exactly who he was and wasnt intimidated by his appearance. Then he showed Dick that he wasnt some fragile old man.
Yep, you're right. Sadly, most people think the old man is evil but if he was things would have gone down very differently. You'd think it'd be clear to people that the old man was different than dick jones considering he refers to robocop as 'officer' and even asks for his name at the end. Also Lol at the old man's name in the official script being 'old man'.
@@alexgataric hahaha yeah I know but 80 percent of my stuff is still the up down up variety :) Can you imagine if R2-D2 went around stabbing people... that'd be somethin'... hmm then again he did shock the Ewoks. Star Wars should have had some kind of droid uprising... they got treated like crap most of the time!!
@@JamBadguy You're really reaching with this one. You know the baby boomer generation started in 1946 right? A full 41 years before Robocop was released?
To this day I'm still impressed by the prosthetics which merge his face with the artificial surrounding structure. It really did look like a mechanical and biological fusion.
It's cooler in this movie though. In real life Murphy would be sorting through his work key, his personal key, his kitschy key 3D printed into a Black Mage he bought on Etsy...
Yeah, but Robo's better: 1. He can plug it in to a device in the first attempt. 2. He can stab it into someone's jugular in the first attempt. Not something a "modern" USB could do.
What I truly love about this Movie, is that each time you see this, you come to realise many things you've never thought about years ago. I saw this Movie again and realised that the Movie begins when it begins on the OCP meeting and they test a new security machine, that malfunction and kills an innocent (probably). The Movie ends with an OCP meeting and Another machine works as its supposed to do and kills a wanted man. There are many reasons why this Movie is among the top quality Movies ever! This scene is one of them!
Damn, what a solid ending. Was just the big damn hero. Gets validated as a human. Hits his character arc. Out with those blaring character themesong. Such a confident way to end.
Love Robocop The Original One. Didn't Care For The Sequels Or The Remake. There's Something So Special About Robocop,The Terminater & Predator From The 1980s That I Never Get Bored Or Tired Of Watching. Seen Them Each a Hundreds Times. And Will Watch A Hundred More. Hollywood That's How Make Classics. Not The Garbage You Create These Days. I Love The 1980s.

I didn't even know that Tom Hardy was the actor who played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises until recently lol.
After the movie was released all I heard about was how awesome the movie was, particularly from the Half In The Bag review (which i only watched the beginning of to avoid spoilers), so I then started to get hyped for it, but holy shit I didn't expect it to be that fucking good. The last action movie to surprise me that much was Dredd 3D, which feels like it was directed by Paul Verhoeven even though it wasn't lol.
Totally agree man I love that fucken line.
After Robocop says he is Murphy, he smiles for the first time showing he really is more man than machine.
To be honest, he smiles a bit already when he's destroyed the ED209 (at 0:42).
The world had never seen a movie like this before as it was the first of it's kind, Robocop was awesome. Movies like this and Terminator were the new style of Sci-Fi. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the classic movies & music, YOU were blessed.
Brilliant writing and superb acting from Weller!! SO much in every word or facial move. Under ALL that costume! Way to go.
"Nice shooting, son. What's your name?"
"Murphy"
CREDITS
YES.
couldn't have ended any better. short, sweet and memorable.
SaintJack Paul Verhoeven Rules!
Badass
Only way it needed to end. Murphy got what he wanted, which was little more than himself.
When was asking for a chopper EVER successful?!!
*_GET TO DA CHOPPA!_*
Snoogans
Nevermore no its not.
It's a chopper, baby.
@@lancecurry7538 I knew somebody would say that.
took me a while to realize that at the movie's climax, Murphy's voice no longer has the robotic effect. Perhaps symbolizing that his humanity has returned.
First R-Rated movie that I ever saw on the big screen...........had kind of a sheltered childhood. This was quite the ultra-violent SHOCK!! Actually, now, this is one of my very favorite movies. It's Paul Verhoeven's MASTERPIECE.
Him saying "Murphy" is one of my fav bits of all time.
One of the best endings of all time in a movie, especially of this genre and its over the top intent. You could hear both men and women sniffling after he said MURPHY and they cut to the credits. Sheer genius.
I also noticed that it's full frame when Murphy twirls then holsters his gun at the end. The callback to his son's show TJ Lazer at the beginning about he does that after the bad guy gets blown away and the sort of Western feel to it complete with the line "Nice shooting son, what's your name?" (Western's usually saying the gunslinger going something non-descript or silence) with him flashing a triumphant smile and "Murphy" to the triumphant music is like icing on a cake. It's rare to have an ending so memorable.
Man, I wish I had seen this in the theater. That last line, Murphy, probably brought the house down.
It did! I saw it in some theater in West Virginia in 1987 first year of college and you couldn't beg for a stronger ending.
The theme tune still gives me chills to this day!
I don't know if any movie could ever be this good: the theme, the writing, the script, the music, the cynicism, the humanity.....
And the SUX 6000
@@preposterousrhinocerous9951 I love ED-209. I wish we could have deployed them for riot control in Fergeson, MO.

lol..amazing
piplup2009 that is the worst special effects ever seen there
will know everything change.
piplup2009 You gotta love 80's special effects
+SuperGomez59 It was the long arms of the law
piplup2009 Hahaha! I always crack up at that part!
One of the last rated "R" movies marketed for kids. I had all the Robocop toys, clothes, and Nintendo game. Can't forget the Saturday morning cartoon either.
“You're fired!”
“Thank you”
One of he GREATEST ENDINGS in movie history. That moment when he reclaims what was taken from him. Not just his true name but also his humanity.
Axe Battler yup. I also like how?all the cops in Robocop 2 call him by name.
I like how that guy gives a thumbs up to murphy after watching him brutally shoot someone to death. "Just another day at the office!"
It was the 80's
He just got a promotion. Of course he was happy.
I would have him fix the window though
Dick Jones was the main bad guy.
Johnson gave him the thumbs up because he got promoted, again.
Ronny Cox never got tired of playing the bad guy…when the checks rolled in🤑
And those were the longest arms in Hollywood when he was falling.
I like how ED 209 is willing to open fire at someone who parked their car in wrong place :P
Just "protecting and serving" lol
He didn't even give Murphy 20 seconds to comply 🙄
ED209 reacted to "state of the art bang bang" gun.
An ED 209 at my job would run out of ammo by the end of the week.

Filmed in Dallas - that’s Dallas City Hall at the beginning, you can see Reunion Tower in the background at 0:13 and the Fountain Place office building outside the window at 1:01
Easily one of the best Sci fi films of all time and the theme song is so freaking good
This film has held up incredibly well after nearly 35 years.
They of course tried to remake it, annnnnnnd it was forgotten in about 3 seconds.
@@Surfer041 If that long. There are certain movies which shouldn't be remade, and the 1987 Robocop is one of them.
@@blueschewy2558 every remake/delayed sequel is inferior to the original in every way, everytime. The one they've gotten right is Cobra Kai. Phenomenal job by everyone top ro bottom.
@@Surfer041 Cobra Kai is top notch.
Best movie of 1987-2023.
Quick thinking from the old man he knew Robo wouldn't be able to shoot Dick until he terminated Dick's employment to OCP.
That's why he's in the top slot.
Also with the nicely placed elbow to the gut...
1. “The old geezer gets it!” 😂🤣😂 Gotta love Ronny Cox…
2. The sheer delight in the smile and thumbs up dude gives Murphy after he shoots Dick to pieces…priceless. 👍🏾 😂
Dick Jones: "His memory is admissible as evidence!"
Also Dick Jones: tells Robocop "I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake!"
You can tell that Robo had taken enough shit from ED and was not gonna stand for it anymore.
Indeed. I like the way Robo cuts his eyes over when the 209 says he's illegally parked. Like, "I think not"
IronDawg "I think not" makes me think of Mr. Freeze from Batman and Robin.
This film was a masterpiece like so many others to come out of the 80s
This scene never gets old.
Agreed
Robocop: Brilliant masterpiece
Robocop 2: Mildly entertaining
Robocop 3: WTF is this shit?
Rebootcop: Forgot about it before reaching the theater parking lot.
"The old geezer gets it."
You ain't exactly young yourself, buddy.
Have a 100th like 👍 😎
When he says Murphy, his voice cracks a little sounding more human.
That wasn't a mistake. It was done on purpose to show that Alex Murphy's personality was slowly returning.
For all its action, this movie has many layers.
Robocop was essentially a movie about the rebirth of a man's soul.
Oh really?!?! So you’re the writer and director of this movie? Can I have your autograph?.......
You're right about the layers. Just seen Netflix's The Movie That Made Us: Robocop.
I always tear when he says that such a great movie
This movie still moves me inside. Brilliant. Too bad today's movie doesn't do that.
Such a classic. Will never be duplicated
"YOU NOW HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY."
"Comply with this." *BOOM*
If ONLY Murphy had said that in the film!
Or if he had said " headshot " with round 2 hitting.
It's just a glitch...
Now THAT would be a bad-ass crossover. Robo-Trinity. Of course, 90's Keanu Reaves was ALREADY robotic, so he wouldn't have had to vary his voice that much...
I love how the African American guy gives the thumbs up at the end.
@Alan Cogan keyboard gangster i 👀
It's because he murdered his friends.
FriendlyCrooc he got a promotion
The black actor also played Clint Eastwood's partner in one of the "Dirty Harry " movies, and gets killed by a bomb in his mail box.
You mean that American of African descendage.
The greatest film of all time.... For generations to come too
Love this scene, not only bc Murphy finally closes the case by getting Dick Jones but bc it shows that the Old Man, despite what people think, has some knowledge of whats going on. When Murphy walked in on the meeting he was one of few people who wasnt shocked by it and knew exactly who he was and wasnt intimidated by his appearance. Then he showed Dick that he wasnt some fragile old man.
Yep, you're right. Sadly, most people think the old man is evil but if he was things would have gone down very differently. You'd think it'd be clear to people that the old man was different than dick jones considering he refers to robocop as 'officer' and even asks for his name at the end.
Also Lol at the old man's name in the official script being 'old man'.
@@Archedgar true but I think that’s bc of how he was portrayed in Robocop 2 but this is the only Robocop I consider as good.
2:42: That moment when you're so excited to see your promotion rival get fired that you had to stand up and smile.
I love that shot so much.
"Nice shooting son, what's your name?"

Even better than Robocop 2, 3 & remake combined

Wife: "So honey, how was work today?" "I had to let Dick Jones go."
I like Murphy smile...... He's been so cool when he smiling
He did crack a smile when he took down ED209, almost like: take that junk after what you did to me.
1:17 I wish I had the sound of modulated white noise every time I walked into a room.
@CatOnDrugs I wish I "clicked" when I walked.
@@kennyhill9238 You can sneak up on people though.
Whooosh

i think i'm gonna upload that sound to my phone and use it on such occasions) thanks for the idea)
Definitely one of the most iconic final scene in movie history.
One of the most satisfying endings to any movie ever.
0:58 I've always loved the bit with the toe twitch. One of the most memorable moments ever.
"These are serious charges, what evidence do you have?" Robocop: Get's spikey usb out.
I love the fact that there was still blood on it.
@@QuothTheRavenclaw11 Great continuity.
@@gumdeo If it were a real USB he'd have to try to insert it three times to make sure it was right side up. It would have made the scene awkward!! :)
@@splatbubble USB C is the new standard which eliminates that problem. Robo's spike reminds me of R2-D2's interface stick.
@@alexgataric hahaha yeah I know but 80 percent of my stuff is still the up down up variety :) Can you imagine if R2-D2 went around stabbing people... that'd be somethin'... hmm then again he did shock the Ewoks.
Star Wars should have had some kind of droid uprising... they got treated like crap most of the time!!
Even in November 2019, this movie still kicks ass!!! They don't make them like this anymore.
Yes they do boomer
@@JamBadguy You're really reaching with this one. You know the baby boomer generation started in 1946 right? A full 41 years before Robocop was released?
@@demerit5 don't tell me how to use the word "boomer", boomer.
Robocop is one of the best movies ever made. Ahead of its time.
You've got that right. Right up there with the best SciFi films ever made.
To this day I'm still impressed by the prosthetics which merge his face with the artificial surrounding structure. It really did look like a mechanical and biological fusion.
2:42 I love the way he stands up and smiles, he getting another promotion when the guy above him dies.
the concept of USB flash drive was brought up 30 years ago
It's cooler in this movie though. In real life Murphy would be sorting through his work key, his personal key, his kitschy key 3D printed into a Black Mage he bought on Etsy...
And he could puncture a bad guys jugular with this one!
USB 9000
Yeah, but Robo's better:
1. He can plug it in to a device in the first attempt.
2. He can stab it into someone's jugular in the first attempt.
Not something a "modern" USB could do.
@Leo Peridot , exactly!
What I truly love about this Movie, is that each time you see this, you come to realise many things you've never thought about years ago.
I saw this Movie again and realised that the Movie begins when it begins on the OCP meeting and they test a new security machine, that malfunction and kills an innocent (probably). The Movie ends with an OCP meeting and Another machine works as its supposed to do and kills a wanted man.
There are many reasons why this Movie is among the top quality Movies ever! This scene is one of them!
Yeah, I never thought of that.
It's perfectly symmetrical. Someone made a video about it.
Damn, what a solid ending.
Was just the big damn hero. Gets validated as a human. Hits his character arc. Out with those blaring character themesong.
Such a confident way to end.
Love Robocop The Original
One. Didn't Care For The Sequels Or The Remake.
There's Something So
Special About Robocop,The Terminater & Predator
From The 1980s That I
Never Get Bored Or Tired
Of Watching. Seen Them Each a Hundreds Times.
And Will Watch A Hundred
More. Hollywood That's How Make Classics. Not
