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.
+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 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
@@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.
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?"
When the film was screened for a test audience, and the “old man” asked “nice shootin,’ what’s your name” the whole audience screamed Murphy . That’s when the Producers realized they had a hit on their hands
If you cam find it, there are I think 2 more scenes filmed after this and with that reaction from the tests audiences made, there was a decision made to end it like this as a high note.
@@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
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)
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 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.
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!
+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.
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.
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.
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.
The same board room where it all began. The same company bigwigs meeting. The same big door ED-209 came in from. The same gun that got McKinney killed by ED-209. The same room where the villain Dick Jones were to have his long overdue glory, only to fall from grace (or in this case, out the window onto the abyss below). All beautiful poetic justice. No movie is more beautiful than original Robocop.
I always liked the concept of "RoboCop", much more than the film itself. In my honest opinion, the remake sold many of the same messages, but without the constant crudeness for its own sake.
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
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
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.
My dad always laughs at 0:31-0:44. The first time I ever saw this move was sometime in the mid-1990's & I remember him saying something like "Robocop's had enough, for one day...".
Dick Jones ridiculous flailing arms keep it from perfection. Apparently the music was done by the same guy that did Conan the Barbarian. ruclips.net/video/BHfE682mm3c/видео.html

@@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.
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...
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.
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.
@@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?
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.
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!
@@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!!
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.
Peter Weller is a good actor which is why the first two movies were so good. The third movie sucked because he wasn't in it. He had a contract dispute. Special effects were awesome
At 2:10, Murphy's movement is way less robotic, and more like a human would move, in shock (so to speak) to the reaction of Dick Jones grabbing the gun. Brilliant non verbal acting. He had to take mime classes just to flesh this role out, and Weller killed it. BRILLIANT!
Will we ever again get as many iconic characters as we got from this era? Robocop, Terminator, The Predator, the Xenomorph from Alien! You can even throw in Jason Vorhees & Freddy Kreuger. This was truly a golden era for filmmaking.
Every decade has it's strengths, but no decade will ever come as close to having so many entertaining, R-rated over the top action/scifi/horror/comedy films as the 80's. Beetlejuice, Weekend at Bernie's, Return of the Living Dead, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Gremlins, so many films that were just this super fun mix of multiple genres thrown together.
@@drlight6677 That explains why Hollywood continues to retread all these 80s/90s treasures, like that abominable "Coming To America" sequel. They should just make something original for this era, but they're probably hamstrung by political correctness and cancel culture. I thought "wokeness" was supposed to be progressive, not censorship.
Green screen allowed them to have computers build sets instead of building the full set from scratch and then filling in the effects afterwards. It allows writers to be lazy and breaks immersion.
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.
When Robocop was released much was made of Ronny Cox being cast against type as a villain prior to this film he had played mostly kind fatherly types. He's fantastic as Dick Jones.
"nice shooting, son. whats your name?"
"Murphy"
love this movie so much.
And the cowboy walks off into the sunset.
Fixing his tie as he says it like a true professional..it's those kind of subtle touches that make a movie great.
Yes, Murphy, his name, his Legacies and descendants, will live on.
@Eduardo Mendez
His brain was sizzling like fried 🥚 eggs & 🥓 bacon, so yeah it was hurtful to him.

The moment that Robocop referred to himself as Murphy was the moment he reclaimed his humanity.

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.
Terminator? Predator?
La satira.
@Seph Lord of rings is effeminate bed time story for emasculated British boys.
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.
My dad always laughs at 0:31-0:44.
The first time I ever saw this move was sometime in the mid-1990's & I remember him saying something like "Robocop's had enough, for one day...".
Falling out of a window makes your arms grow? Who knew
Lol word i just noticed that after u said it
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 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.
hands down, one of the best endings ever.
And the music still stands the test of time.
Dick Jones ridiculous flailing arms keep it from perfection.
Apparently the music was done by the same guy that did Conan the Barbarian.

This film was a masterpiece like so many others to come out of the 80s
"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!
Joe Biden and trump
greatest movie ever made. Satire, comedy, horror, drama, and action all into one
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.
@@kevinnakamura6256 Lmao
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.
I love how Murphy was just NOT panicking to get his rifle while a death machine threatens him.
At that moment, Murphy was the bigger death machine.
Well, ED was nice enough to let him know he had 20 seconds.
"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 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.
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.
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
"The old geezer gets it."
You ain't exactly young yourself, buddy.
Have a 100th like 👍 😎
Exactly.. He made so many idiot mistakes.. And the old geeser had the last laugh😂
The theme tune still gives me chills to this day!
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.
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...
No one was bored at that board meeting!
Definitely one of the most iconic final scene in movie history.
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.
I love how he turns into Slender Man when he falls out the window
Wife: "So honey, how was work today?" "I had to let Dick Jones go."
Lol
Back when movie endings were good
trycoldman23 back when movies in general were good
Back when films were GOOD.
also the time when sci fi movies were so epic
Sadly this was the only one in the trilogy.
Back when people didn’t need post credit scenes
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.
Funny how this small clip is better than the entirety of RoboCop 2 and 3 combined. 😂
Even better than Robocop 2, 3 & remake combined
Robocop 2 had it’s moment wasn’t great but wasn’t bad
@@maxsamuel1253 remake didn't happen, let's make that clear ;)
@@ShingenNolaan In case u're not aware, there was a Robocop remake in 2014. Check it out
@@maxsamuel1253 I believe he's well aware a remake was made
Of all the Robocop movies, this one was the best! Who agrees with me on this one?
I think anyone with half a brain will agree.
Obviously. The second one was decent. Third wasn’t terrible, but didn’t need to happen.
I like ed,
At 2:46 ... the clay figure of Dick Jones was made with arms too long; a very popular SFX error.
One of the greatest films ever made. Magnificent cast. One of my favourite films of all time.
same
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.
Such a classic. Will never be duplicated
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.
It's always struck me that this whole film is heroic in nature. Robocop struggling with energizing music playing. Love it.
I like how you left the credits in this clip. Good decision 👍🏽
"Nice shooting son, what's your name?"

Murphy... R O B O C O P
That’s how you end a movie. It makes me smile every time.
They ended it like many of the classic westerns. cut to title or ride off end credits with big time music score.
Yes, the ending was very gratifying.
He found himself again, killed the bad guy, saved the city. The classic recipe for the perfect finale
When the gun spun on his hands, you know he's returned. Murphy.
Did I ever tell you guys how much I love the anvils in the musical score?! So frigging awesome.
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.
Who could blame him
1:17 the most 1980s movie door opening sound effect 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!!
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!
Easily one of the best Sci fi films of all time and the theme song is so freaking good
0:35 I just love how it looks like Robocop smiles when shooting ED-209. It's almost comical.
Seeing this again brought tears to my mind. All I remember as a kid was a simple sentence:
"Justice at its finest."
Sweet childhood memories.
“You're fired!”
“Thank you”
Classic. One of my all-time favourites.
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
Going to the toilet: DZUNN
i think i'm gonna upload that sound to my phone and use it on such occasions) thanks for the idea)
Thank you Peter Weller.
You made this movie what it is.
Peter Weller is a good actor which is why the first two movies were so good. The third movie sucked because he wasn't in it. He had a contract dispute. Special effects were awesome
Lmao when i saw Murphy smile after blowing that ED 209 to hell. Priceless.
At 2:10, Murphy's movement is way less robotic, and more like a human would move, in shock (so to speak) to the reaction of Dick Jones grabbing the gun. Brilliant non verbal acting. He had to take mime classes just to flesh this role out, and Weller killed it. BRILLIANT!
This movie still moves me inside. Brilliant. Too bad today's movie doesn't do that.
The kind of classic everyone loves and remembers that never gets Oscar recognition.
hardly anyone cares about the Oscars now.
I think it did win the Oscar for best Sound Editiing or something like that
One of the best movies of all time
My favorite line of the film, "Dick, You're FIRED".
Will we ever again get as many iconic characters as we got from this era? Robocop, Terminator, The Predator, the Xenomorph from Alien! You can even throw in Jason Vorhees & Freddy Kreuger. This was truly a golden era for filmmaking.
Every decade has it's strengths, but no decade will ever come as close to having so many entertaining, R-rated over the top action/scifi/horror/comedy films as the 80's. Beetlejuice, Weekend at Bernie's, Return of the Living Dead, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Gremlins, so many films that were just this super fun mix of multiple genres thrown together.
Judge Dred
@@drlight6677 That explains why Hollywood continues to retread all these 80s/90s treasures, like that abominable "Coming To America" sequel. They should just make something original for this era, but they're probably hamstrung by political correctness and cancel culture. I thought "wokeness" was supposed to be progressive, not censorship.
so true. Im so glad I lived it. fell sorry for the kids today. and love remembering my childhood. brings tears to my eyes every time.
Green screen allowed them to have computers build sets instead of building the full set from scratch and then filling in the effects afterwards. It allows writers to be lazy and breaks immersion.
Paul Verhoeven is a directing genius. Simple as that.
And STARSHIP TROOPERS!!!!
His best work is still Showgirls.
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.
Very true murphy was back
When Robocop was released much was made of Ronny Cox being cast against type as a villain prior to this film he had played mostly kind fatherly types. He's fantastic as Dick Jones.
And then ironically after this movie, played nothing BUT villains.
Yeh, for his age he was very intimidating. He pretty much played the same menacing character in Total Recall
That's due to Paul verhoven directing this and total recall
He's an amazing actor who perfectly played his villain roles.
