"Bitches, Leave!"
Truly one of cinema's greatest and finest lines, ever. Certainly one of the most quotable. :)
The music in this film is underrated 100% completely legendary. Practical effects are so much preferred to me over cgi in some cases too. Loved this violence.
Yeah, he has a theme just like Batman or Indiana Jones. A good one too. Themes are are to come by these days.
Ooh yeah practical all the way. Cgi should be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox.
I don't understand why the catchy theme music was not used for the rest of the shows.
@@cuckoonut1208 not too sure either, perhaps there was a different composer for the show. But Robocop 2 score was also immaculate.
Same dude who done the Conan barbarian soundtrack as well 👍
The amazing Phil Tippet and his stop-mo for ED-209 were not to be topped.
"I wonder who would be stronger: terminator or robocop?" Dasha, us nerds have been wondering that for decades lol
There is an answer, a comic book crossover back in 1992 writen by Frank Miller.
Mortal Kombat 11 DLC
Depends partially on what weapon tech each is armed with.
But all things equal Murphy is probably slightly physically weaker than a T800, but with a much higher critical thinking ability and hense could likely take on a few at a time or a handful or two if they fight one after another.
Without some sort of serious environmental advantage, Murphy probably couldnt defeat a T1000
If Sarah "Can't balance a checkbook" Conner could defeat a Terminator, then Robocop most certainly can. He already defeated Detroit's "terminator" AKA ED-209. But the real burning question is: Terminator Vs Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad.😁
Terminator would be. But Robocop would be more human instinct.
"She looks pretty nice, pretty friendly, except for nearly punching the guy to death, she looks like a very easy going person" 🤣
Could almost be a description of Dasha after she encounters a cheating boyfriend!😁
I wondered if she meant that as a joke but probably not lol Dasha is so smart (man she got "Objective 4 straight away), but she has her (very cute) moments
That line killed me too. So funny.
I don't hear this film described as "fun" very often, but it is absolutely true. Lightning in a bottle, just incredible on basically all fronts
In the last scene when the guy said "You're fired!" the whole theater said "YES!"
What I like about that is that there was a practical point to saying that line, not just to sound cool.
@@quentincoetzee4313 When the Old Man asks him his name at the end, American audiences also shouted: "MURPHY!"
23:58 As I understand it, _this_ actor had previously had _no_ idea what his costar would _look_ like after driving the truck into the tank of toxic waste, so his reaction, here, is genuine.
Anytime someone reacts to a Paul Verhoeven film, I watch. I consider him the Tarantino of science fiction.
His films based on the works of Phillip K. Dick are the best. Total Recall was my all-time favorite, however his work on Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers was the stuff of legend.
Yeah, but Starship Troopers barely followed the book at all. Still, it was a great movie -- not very deep or thought-provoking, but a good fun time watching.
Tarantino is this generation's Ed Wood. Only not as talented. Paul has real talent.
@@OneEyedJack1970 Total Recall is nothing like We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, either. Starship Troopers is not necessarily "deep", but it's definitely more than just "shoot bugs dead." All three are among my favorite movies.
It absolutely is thought provoking though. As a satire, it's amazing.
One of the better satires in the genre.
I've defended this movie so many times I could write an essay about it.
Anytime someone reacts to a Paul Verhoeven film, an angel gets its wings shot off
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. There were no cell phones back then. So no way to take quick selfies with the Robocop nemesis. To capture that memory would have been so awesome.
Polaroid. lol
@@jayeisenhardt1337 A Polaroid can't be carried around or fun. That's the reason I have 5 pictures of me growning up and my daughter has 5000 pictures. I literally have a still and film camera in my pocket at all times.
I never saw a Ed-209 standee, but I distinctly remember the life-size cut-out of Robocop. First saw it displayed at a theater in New Jersey. My uncle, who was a detective in Manhattan (his claim to fame would be one of the guys who DIDN'T get Gotti in that first big trial, something he blames on the FBI witholding evidence from the NYPD so that the Feds could be the ones to take him down) said that a robot cop was a good idea.
You did capture that memory. And now you're sharing it with the world! No picture can replace imagination.
@@lethaldose2000
Tell that to Kyle Reese
You can't cause he's dead now,..
er then??🤨
I love the scene where Clarence spits blood on the police desk. It was not in the script, so the reactions of the other actors are genuine. Great classic movie from my youth.
Just give me my fucking phone call 😂
Dasha is far and away the best at doing reaction videos. Such a genuine person. Alway a joy to watch.
The line “come quietly or there will be trouble” is iconic.
And i read it in his voice :)
Let's not forget, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me"😂😂😂
I’d buy that for a dollar.
"You stole that from Robocop!"- Deadpool
"your move creep" is a close second
Great reaction Dasha! Director Paul Verhoeven's "Triple Dutch" trilogy is always a must.
RoboCop (1987)
Total Recall (1990)
And Starship Troopers (1997)
All three are super action, subversive, sci-fis, so next I definitely recommend Starship Troopers, it's also awesome!
Just to let you know there was a RoboCop Versus The Terminator
Comic book mini-series. Yes, RoboCop is the stronger one but he had to face several Terminators.
Starship trooper is garbage, especially compared to the original novel.
The other two movies are good.
@@Caseytify Starship Troopers is a very iconic and great satire about war...
@@Caseytify If you discount the connection to the book, Starship Troopers is pretty good. Yes it's cheesy but it's all purposeful to drive home the nature of propaganda. I prefer the book too and was deeply disappointed when I saw the movie the first time because I wanted to see the book live on screen but it's grown on me as its own thing in the years since.
Three gems!
@@Caseytify well if you're a real fan of the book I can absolutely see your point of view on that, hell if you love Philip K Dick's stories you'll hate the majority of the adaptations including "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" (aka Total Recall) and it would be cool to one day see a more faithful adaptation of Starship Troopers (it would have been awesome to see the power armor), but Paul Verhoeven's unique vision is what we're appreciating here, so let's hope one day everyone gets a version of the stories they like, I know plenty of people who hated the RoboCop remake.
(You know come to think of it RoboCop is a kind of adaption too, a couple of writers where trying to make a movie of the 1977 comic book 2000 AD which is the first appearance of Judge Dredd, but couldn't get the rights, so they retooled the script into RoboCop.)
"Show me one person that's having fun right now?" That would be the three guys smiling and laughing like hyena's Dasha 😂
Hyenas
My 2nd favorite movie of all time. Thank you for watching. This film was originally given an X rating because it was too violent for censors so the director had to cut a lot of scenes for it it achieve the R rating. It was cut ELEVEN times. It traumatized me as a kid but it paved the way for future R-rated movies.
Aliens is your number one right?
RIGHT!!!??
Robocop 2 is one of the best sequels too, directed by the director of another top tier sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, Irvin Kershner.
It's not as good as a film, but it's insanely entertaining.
@James McDonald Rocky 4 lol
@@KHAOE1 good lord 😂
@James McDonald hey I'm an 80s kid 🤷♂️ that movie motivated me in so many ways lol.
Dasha laying down the law of the land:
"Shoot once and Stop It".
"Soooooo sneaky!!!"😅
Great reaction.
“I’d buy that for a dollar!” 😂
Man, that Beretta M93R machine pistol Robocop uses was the coolest thing in the 80's for kids like me lol.
Cassette Futurism style films are so great, love that old 80's aesthetic :D
Did you happen to see the Netflix miniseries "Maniac"? That show captured the aesthetic you're talking about perfectly. (It's actually set in an alternate version of the present day, but their tech never really evolved beyond the 80s.)
I loved your reaction to Officer Lewis. You summed her up pretty good. She's pretty friendly, kinda punchy and super nice.
I have long been a fan of the way Robo was portrayed in his law enforcement duties. Paul Verhoeven did a great job there. Not a lot of people realize, but his prime directives are arranged in such a way that he can be the best police officer possible, rather than a cold, soulless, violent machine like ED-209.
Serving the public trust means preserving the trust of the people in their police department, by acting ethically and responsibly at all times. It also means he can use his personal discretion to decide whether to enforce on someone or let them off easy.
It was so much fun watching you enjoy RoboCop! There were a lot of violent and gross scenes and they were somewhat typical when RoboCop was filmed. The plot was simple and easy to follow so you could enjoy the action and special effects. Keep up the good work Dasha! Hope your channel continutes to grow.
RoboCop was hyper violent even in the context of the time period.
@@aerthreepwood8021 - More than typical for the time period, I'd say that it is typical for Paul Verhoeven.
@@aerthreepwood8021 Depends where ya lived. It was getting real bad in some places. Even had a crackhead mayor. Not as over the top with the weaponry but enough shootings that you'd be lucky to be alive only because ya moved outta that place.
Your reaction gets a like Dasha because out of all the people I have seen react to Robocop, you are the only one to show the guy saying "I'll buy that for a dollar!" One of the most memorable lines in the movie. The best one though is Clarence saying "Bitches leave."
I remember in the late 80s my parents and my grandma watching this movie one weekend, they had rented it in Betamax or VHS (can't recall which format, we had both at one point). I was fascinated by the action and the surreal characters of the scenes I saw, then I went and saw the whole thing. My parents would always rent 3 or 4 movies to watch on the weekends, fortunately for me they always let me watch the horror and action movies of the 80s. Ah, to be a child in that era again, I remember my Robocop toy with cap firing (a bit of smoke and burnt smell for a shooting effect) and my friend had ED-209.
Now grown up, I truly appreciate the writing, the direction, the acting, the dark humor, the effects and the movie making craft. Robocop is one the greatest satires of the 80s.
I am very happy that you enjoyed this one so much Dasha, one of my favorite movies ever.
I feel like horror or body horror films were really effective when the print quality on the rented tapes were shit. Your imagination filled in the blanks.
16:17 Because Paul Verhoeven is Dutch, and his director of photography for this scene is German, they didn't realize how offensive a pejorative "bitch" is in American English, so they kept addressing and referring to the two actresses here as "the bitches" while directing the scene, and Miguel Ferrer and Kurtwood Smith were just cracking up.
RoboCop is my comfort movie. My favorite movie of the 80s. I adore this movie so much. I loved your reaction.
Dasha of Russia Reacts
Amazing reaction - Very genuine, delightful, yet intriguing - Respect (I just joined your channel fam). This is one of my all-time favorite films; great story, stellar action, and very gritty. I see why this movie won an Oscar/Academy Award.
As a kid loving this movie, I never actually realized how messed up it was until much later...
💙From Detroit
@@willwilliamson9580 same. We taped it from TV and i rewatched over and over. I saw the film version at a friend's house who had HBO... the gore blew my mind.
Robocop 2 was pretty messed up also.
Well this is what detroit is like.
Peter Weller who played Murphy is also known for a classic Sci fi movie called 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension'
What a charming young lady!
I enjoyed watching your reaction to this totally awesome classic!
"She looks pretty nice, pretty friendly, except for punching the guy almost to death." 😂
I was really hoping to see Dasha react to the "Nuke 'Em" commercial. No dice, but this was still lots of fun.
Thats it mister, no more military aid! 😁
Loved your reaction. Very entertaining. You're delightful. It's so much fun watching and listening to you. I'm glad you liked this great movie so much. Thanks for sharing your lovely and charming self with us.
Hey Dasha. Your thumbnail looks like you're flipping us off. I love it! Love the video too. This is one of my favorite childhood movies.
I loved this movie when I was a kid. It's refreshing to see someone else enjoy it so much; and yes, we're all cheering the violence by the end... Paul Verhoeven, eh! 😝
I just love that you immediately wondered who would win between RoboCop and the Terminator, because that's a debate that's gone on for decades 😁
There was actually huge talk of a robocop vs terminator film back in the day but unfortunately it never happened, they did make a video game for it in the early 90s though. I used to make little comic strips when I was a kid of the two of them fighting and with an actual reason of why they're crossing paths with Robocop winning because the t800 had returned but this time to kill John Connor while John was hiding out in Detroit
I was 9 years old when I first saw Robocop in the late 80s and was pretty shocked by how graphic the violence was. Awesome movie though that still holds up!
Me too. I was versed in things like Rambo II but this took it up a notch. Wild cool crazy stuff for young eyes to soak up.
Now that you’ve seen this and “Total Recall”, you have to complete Verhoeven’s sci-fi trifecta by watching “Starship Troopers”. It’s even more extreme than “Robocop”, but totally worth a watch.
Love your reactions. They’re so honest and visceral. Would love to see more of your dog, though. 😄
BTW, you look great with a Robo arm…
And Hollowman.
I always enjoy Dasha's reactions. You are doing great.
It would really make my day if this film got a one-off cinematic re-release this year, to commemorate its 35th anniversary, and to see it on the big screen. 🤞
I don't know if you have one but Alamo Draft Houses sometimes show old movies on week nights. I saw The Last Starfighter there a few years ago.
No, I’m not in the United States so we do not have any ADH venues.
I would not mind if Verhoeven would do that. And fix the special effects of the last scene. Yep a remaster would be amazing!
I’d be very surprised if any of the special effects would be fixed. When George Lucas lessened the thick black matte lines from the original _Star Wars_ trilogy in the late 1990s people even whinged about that, so I expect that those effects would be left the way they are.
A remaster has actually happened: Arrow Video has just released a Limited Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD/Blu-Ray set. It is a 4K restoration from the original negatives, transferred in 2013 and approved by Paul Verhoeven himself.
As it turned out, in May 2022 it did get a 35th anniversary cinematic re-release. I jumped at the chance to watch it on the big screen with an audience and the experience was fantastic!
One of the bloodiest, goriest most violent classics of '80's action popcorn flicks. Got to love it. :)
Since you asked on who will be stronger between Terminator or RoboCop they actually do have comic books and video games based on that subject and I believe at the end it was RoboCop who is the Victor, because I think the story was based around RoboCop was the foundation for Skynet or something like that.
Also Mortal Kombat 11.
Terminator vs robocop in hand to hand combat?
It's all about the speed, and the terminator is way way faster as well as being more flexible. He snaps robocops head off like a chicken before robo can even take a swing.
Only my opinion ofcourse. 🤷♂️
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Other than the 1000 series, all known terminator models are built for strength, force, and endurance instead of speed as well as their primary function of infiltration into human groups. They're about the same overall speed as Robocop is once he's settled on a course of action. Where the terminators do win is in their action/reaction time and certainty of engagement. Because they have the single function of killing while Robocop has to follow law enforcement rules of engagement.
Robocop wins hands down in ingenuity, however. In the Robocop v Terminator comics he ultimately wins because he looked at the whole 'only living tissue can pass' limitation of the time travel, then made himself a heavy weapons platform body and just covered it up in a goopy ball of the terminator pseudoflesh. Once in the past he just broke out of it, flew into orbit and straight up demolished the Skynet server satelite.
@@valashar5313i know all that. But I'm not talking about what happens in a comic book. As I stated, I'm talking about a one on one hand to hand combat.
And whether or not the terminator was built for strenth/power over speed is immaterial. He's still way more faster and agile than robocop is.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage You're serious about that? No terminator shown, save for the 1000 series, has had any sort of agility or melee fighting speed. They're all plodding hydraulics and pistons. Not that Robocop is any different. I'd put them at about equal in that regard, honestly.
I mean, a half-asleep human in the middle of his post-nut clarity was able to dodge a punch from the OG T-101 and then go a round or two with it before getting erased.
I’m really glad Dasha watched a classic from my youth, and I hope she watches RoboCop 2, but never EVER looks at the disastrous RoboCop 3. 👍
👍🏽 im with you there i feel Robocop 2 is so underrated….it’s actually a pretty good action film…it doesn’t capture lightning in a bottle like the first but it wasn’t one of those ignoring bad sequels….just like ghostbusters 2….the only thing those two films did was just not be the first in the franchise having to live up to there original counter parts….but yea you said it she should definitely skip Robocop 3
@@007odc 100% Agreed 👍
I remembered that I loved this movie when I saw in my childhood. This is basically first Ironman movie before actual one.
5:23 I love that you notice little details like that, and the commentary that goes with it made me laugh. Keep up the great work. Your channel deserves to grow a lot!
Also, bad guy comes out of toxic waste...
"Oh FOOOOOO!!!"
😂😂😂
Another great one Dasha! Still loving your reviews! Your emotion is so genuine and contagious! Your reviews always make me feel like I'm watching the movie for the first time! 😊🙃
Glad you liked it. I highly recommend the Jean Claude Van Damme movie “Universal Soldier”. It has a plot similar to this.
Yes!
Let's not forget the awesome music by the late great Basil Poledouris , the maestro who also gave us the legendary CONAN soundtrack.
one of the most perfect films ever made. not a second wasted.
Robocop still holds up to this day. The perfect blend of story, action, violence and social satire.
I'm glad you loved Robocop! It is one of my favorites growing up and I've seen it a 100 times! I really like your channel and the movies you select! Keep it up!!
I LOVED this movie the day it came out in the theaters! "I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great reaction, as always. 💙🎥
0:12 I once had a nightmare about Kuato too. I think I knocked the man he was attached to out of a high window or something, and I saw Kuato's face on the way down, screaming. They were going to land in some kind of swimming pool or something which was full of other mutated baby type things, like Kuato.
Toxic guy had the most brutal death. Getting hit by the car and seeing his head roll off the windshield as he splatters was so gruesome.
I used to work at a place with closed vats of toxic shit. We used to joke that if it leaked out we'd look like the Robocop guy.
@@p.d.l7023 when I was a kid after watching RoboCop, I thought this was a common thing with toxic waste 😂
One of the first rated R movies I ever watched lol. Great flick!
The beauty and genius of good practical effects, minus the Slender Man arms. One of my personal top 5 favs of all time. Really, really glad you enjoyed this so much.👍👍
Dasha, you are 1 of THE cutest, most fun people to watch movies with. Seriously. Just keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it right. As Arnold says, "I'll be Bach" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...
You make every reaction a joy to watch, you truly deserve the name Dasha, a gift from God
One of my favorite movies of all time. Glad to see you enjoying it.
8:45 HA! I’m impressed that you noticed directive 4 right away. I’ve been rewatching this movie since I was like 10 years old, and I was a full grown adult before I even noticed that.
I only recently found you on RUclips. Maybe a couple of days ago! But have already seen a hand full of your Videos at this point.
And I have to say: you seem to have such a big heart, you are a Kind and Loving person full of real emotions - through and through. It makes me happy to see that!
Stay safe throughout those dark days, and I cant wait to see more of your Videos!
Its a honor following you!
"B**ches leave" haha
The "Dream Sequence" is so great!
I remember seeing this when it came out. It was amazing for its time and it still holds up today. Great reaction Dasha.
I watched this once as a kid back in the early 90s and was so traumatized by Murphys "death" that i couldnt watch it again until like earlier this year. Soooo brutal
Awww one of my favorite childhood movies 😄
One of my favorite action movies when I was a teenager.
Yep! Robocop is a classic. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Nice reaction! Funny you mention terminator, there was actually an old video game Robocop vs. The Terminator, where you play Robocop battling a horde of terminators.
Melting bad guy. “Arghhhhyeuchhh”
Welcome to the eighties….. lol
17:06 Bob hired Clarence first to almost kill a police officer, so as to provide a human brain for building the Robocop cyborg; when Clarence broke into his house, Bob was more surprised to see him turned against him, and Dick's video recording confirmed it.
In my opinion, Robocop is one of the most amazing movies ever made. Its serious, its silly, its cheesy, its funny, its sad, its happy, and most importantly, like Dasha said, its fun! Its just one of those movies I don't think can every be truly outdone.
11:20 the Terminator Vs Robocop is the crossover the fãs are waiting for more than 30 years.
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for another wonderful reaction.
Love how Dasha says the word, robot, or robocop for that matter. I hope she will be reacting to robocop 2 and 3. And given how she reacted to this movie it would be very fun to see Dasha react to youtube video of the Mortal Kombat 11 fatalities. And if she have not yet, she should also react to the movie Starship Troopers.
I've been looking forward to you covering Robocop and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's my second favourite film (after American Beauty) and I wrote my dissertation at university about how Robocop is a metaphor for Jesus Christ.
Great 80's classic. Should not have sequels but does.
@13:00, when we dream our brains secrete a chemical that partially paralyzes our voluntary muscles. This paralysis prevents us from acting out the physical actions within our dreams.
However, since Robocop doesn’t have a human body, his mechanical one acted out all of the movements in his dream.
Hi Dasha! I see it is already mentioned here, but Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" (1997) is another fun movie, with even more modern special effects.
"Ok, Fun's over..."
"WHO'S HAVING FUN?? SHOW ME ONE PERSON WHO'S HAVING FUN!!"
LMAO!!!
Paul Verhoeven is such a great director, his films are so sarcastic with a lot of gore.
You really should watch "Total Recall" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone, and "Starship Troopers".
"Starship Troopers" is very special, fascists are this time the good guys, protecting the earth against an alien invasion.
While the description of 'Starship Troopers' is correct on the surface, like many Paul Verhoeven movies, you only have to go a little bit deeper to get all kinds of other messages. Just like here with 'Robocop'.
🤦♂️ Did you even listen to her introduction? She has already watched Total Recall: ruclips.net/video/ylhiYhB1_8Q/видео.html
Huge fan of the robocop movies hated the remake though👍
“Oof! She looks pretty punchy!”
Any time I see anyone fighting, THIS is my new phrase! Thank you!
You actually do know one of the actors, Ronny Cox, he was the main bad guy in Total Recall and he's also the main bad guy in Robocop. Both films are directed by the same guy too - Paul Verhoeven.
Edit: I realised that you were aware who the director was.
Glad you loved it.
He also had a part in "Deliverance "
@@deweylipschitz1516 Yes, but I don't believe she has seen that film, so i didn't mention it. She saw Total Recall recently.
I am writing this to help out Dasha and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
“Bitches, leave..”
That cracks me up every time!
Another great reaction. Paul Verhoeven definitely had a way with over the top effect shots. Thought this was a pretty cool movie and the android/cyborg concept kind of fascinated me when I was younger (guess it still does somewhat).
Great reaction as always, Dash. Love the enthusiasm.
If you like sci-fi/action/adventure mixed with lots of humor, you need to see Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen.
I saw this movie back when it came out in 1987. I was 15. The way Boddicker said "Bitches leave!" was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.
The camp is what really makes these movies something special. The ridiculously exaggerated violence, the crazy crap on the television, the stuff that comes out of people's mouths... few movies pull off camp this well. Starship Troopers, Hobo with a Shot Gun, the list is short.
And the Dallas skyline from an office window supposedly in Detroit :P
The stuff that comes out of peoples mouths is the most realistic of 80s corporate culture.
Gotta disagree with you about _"Starship Troopers"_ - it wasn't actually 'camp' ... it just seems that way, now. It was actually a pretty faithful rendition (allowing for technological updates) of the original book - which you need to remember was written in the middle third of the 20th century. Since it was written, there have been so _many_ stories with similar elements, that the movie *seems* 'camp', even though it's pretty much just a straightforward presentation of the original book.
@@ephennell4ever the advertisements of mothers gleefully cackling and applauding as kids stomp roaches was as clear an example of Robocop style camp as any in existence.
25:58 when he said "murphy", the audiences who were watching this movie, back in 1987, went NUTS! they LOVED it.
The movie is just straight entertainment. it is simple as that.
I LOVE this Robocop movie and part of me wants to do a Robocop cosplay (even if it'd be hard to recreate his cyborg body. Especially the gun holsters inside his thigh panels).
5:23 I love that you notice little details like that, and the commentary made me laugh. Your reaction videos are a lot of fun to watch. Your channel needs to grow a lot more.
"The movie is simple, but also not as simple..."
"Robocop" is a product of its time: a simple general story, but with a good level of details and substories that mix to create a world and a set of characters we like. We can say that the film wants more to give a good action story to the audience, rather than reinventing the world or films or spawn some franchise (in the end it did, but this first film stands by itself).
Today, several films fail in cinemas partially is because they try too hard to be "the next step of CGI effects" or "redefine the way films are made today". Not all films can be "milestones" (it's impossible); back in those days several films that are now memorable had that same background: they tried their best to be just "themselves", not tools to change the world of filmmaking or formulas to spawn sequels upon sequels to keep studios happy. That's an approach a bit lost (and missed) in this era (not that everything done recently is bad, but also see how many franchises have been picked up to be "the next big thing", done some decent job in early stages, and then dropped just because the numbers weren't acceptable).
"Nice shootin' son, what's your name?"
"Murphy."
Perfect ending to a perfect movie.
Great movie Dasha! I remember seeing this when it was first released in theaters. Good times.
5:39 _"There's like money, blood and gun in this box... in one box now... Looks like a very... very criminal box."_ :D
Franchise crossovers weren't a big thing in movies back then, so no cinematic Robocop vs. Terminator match up, but Frank Miller did a very clever Robocop vs. Terminator graphic novel mini-series for Dark Horse Comics. However, the story isn't about which cyborg can beat the other one on one. It's about the conflicting agendas of Murphy/Robocop, Skynet, and the human resistance, and their attempts to alter history to achieve their goals. It's worth looking up even though I think it isn't considered canon in the Robocop or Terminator universe.
The fact that the actor who played Clarence Boddicker(the gang leaderz) would go on to play one of Americas favorite TV fathers as Red Foreman on that 70's show always makes me laugh.
I recently discovered that Ronny Cox who played Dick Jones was also playing Bogomil in Beverly Hills Cop.
He played such opposite characters so well.
At first I couldn.t believe it was the same actor.
@@ysinvangulik1004 he also was Cohagen in Total Recall and did two episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation as Captain Jellico
