The doctors trying to revive Murphy were real. They were allowed to improvise their lines and they acted like how they would if treating a real patient with such injuries.. The writers have said that it turned out better than anything they could have come up with.
Makes total sense! I watch this scene about 15 years ago with someone who was a trauma room nurse. She was fairly impressed with the scene.
If you listen though, they're not trying to revive him... they're trying to simply keep his brain alive.
"Let's shock to flatline and then quit"
They're actually killing him for the RoboCop Program.
@@TheRodentSama No, they are merely going through the motions. The procedures/ drug names they are using were accurate for the 80's/ 90's. The one complaint the nurse I watched this with had was they didn't try hard enough, but as you pointed out this is consistent with the plot. (This was a woman, btw, who tried reviving a senior citizen for 45 min. who ultimately died on a tour bus once.)
@@helifanodobezanozi7689 IE, the best nurse to have.
Fun fact: Robocop is real too, they actually cut off Peter Weller’s head and wired it up to a robot for this movie. They kept his body cryogenically frozen and then reconnected his head to his body once filming was complete
13:45 can we talk about how Dick Jones dropped a deuce, didn't wash his hands, then ran his fingers through homeboy's hair? 🤣🤣🤣
It's the 80's.
Men don't wash their hands.
It also always goes unnoticed that the Executive Lounge is a men's room Lol
It's fair to say he also didn't wipe so there was no real need to wash his hands.
Washing hands is such a beta move
Seen a bunch of people react to this but you're maybe the first one that instantly got what they were doing with the satire.
Unless of course she did a bit of research before hand. 🤔
Peter Weller's control over his movement is on another level in this
He does sell it the whole "Cyborg" thing pretty darn well.
Moving in the suit was a nightmare. They had to bring in the head of motion from the Julliard school to teach Peter how to move in the suit. Ironically a school based in Detroit.
@@kizunadragon9 it was so heavy to, he was constantly dehydrated.
@@kizunadragon9 That's like half the story and they didn't bring him in. Peter Weller had already been working with Moni to figure out how to move like Robocop before the suit was made. He'd decided on what he was going to do but when he put on the suit everything he'd trained to do was impossible. Peter wanted time to work on it, Paul said no at first but everything was getting crazy so Peter called Moni and had him come to set and help him learn a whole new way to move while in the suit.
The suit had to have fans built into it as Weller kept losing fluid from sweating so much that he nearly passed out a few times.
Fun fact: the secretary Clarence is sleazing on at OCP is his wife in real life. This movie is how they met.
So she did “fit him in.”
Now that would make one heck of a How I met your mother story
I did not know that
He originally auditioned for the role of Dick Jones, OCP Vice President.
Sorry, no, I believe you'll find his wife is Kitty Foreman.
"Can I help you sir?"
"NO"
This part always makes me laugh. Its Murphy's personality just starting to crack through his robotic programming with perfect deadpan delivery
Alanda: Clarence has such a nasty streak.
That's why the kindest thing he ever did was to say "Bitches leave" before blowing up the place.
In the book, he said "Sluts leave"
"These things should be non-profit."
Wonderful to see a reactor *get* this movie so quickly! 😀
Exactly this entire movie is one big satire on 80s consumerism and American pop culture.
@@technopirate304 and yet how much of it has come true...
@@samovarsa2640 Far far too much of it
Most of the satire in 'Robocop' has actually happened in real life. Most tragic of all is the militarization of the police, not just an American problem but a global one.
@@technopirate304 laugh in demolition man
You are the first person I've seen to react to this movie that picked up on the social commentary. Kudos.
When you see it as a superficial action movie, it works.
When you see it as a satire on the 80s (culture, economics, and even action movies), it is a masterpiece
Flashbacks to that one galaxy-brain Tweet, "I bet you think RoboCop is 'political.'"
I don't know how nobody gets it... It's blatant and ham fisted. Too bad it seems to have been the most accurate dystopian prediction thus far.
Its ALL social commentary. I'm really surprised there is a soul alive who can't see it.
Funny note, that secretary that Clarence hits on later in the movie. That was the first time those two actors met, and he had been single for years at that point, apparently they hit it off so well that they married a year after RoboCop came out.
Wow, thx for this info. I thought they were actually a couple before the movie was shot. Knowing they met on set makes the story even better.
It's amazing how that city councilman lost his election and then used force to demand a recount, and said that whatever the count is he wants old job back. What would the world be like if a politician acted like that..........
It's just Verhoeven doing his normal over-the-top satire taken to the ludicrous extreme. Surely no real-world politician would be stupid, deranged and narcissistic enough behave in such a way. But if one did, surely everyone would see it as being so blatantly, overwhelmingly criminal that he'd be put in jail without some years-long, drawn-out process. At least Robocop was there to take him down before more than the one person got hurt as a result. Without consequences, who knows what he could have ended up doing.
gives a whole new meaning to #stopthesteel
"We're all just fodder for corporate greed and militarization." Yup, that's pretty much the whole movie in a nutshell, lol.
Veerhoven in a nutshell.
Started with Reagan and never stopped.
movie?
@@carm3d Robocop! One of the best sci-fi films of all time!
@@abdulhouser Oh, I thought maybe he was talking about real life.
"And you did not wash your hands"
😂‼️
As the movie goes along, Murphy gains more and more of his humanity back and you can hear it in his voice.. His last spoken line is barely "electronic".
Fun fact: Kurtwood spitting on the paper was improvised and all their digusted reactions were genuine lol
A lot of improv here - Ray Wise never saw Melting Man until the scene, and in the riot scene Kurtwood and Ray weren't told how close the explosions would be to where they were standing, so they got paid more that day.
In the 80s it was a lot easier to leave the broken remnants of your life when you moved.
Yep, you could get a new driver’s license if you’d gotten it revoked/suspended & open up another bank account & not have everything computerized nationwide.
That scene with Ed209, when the camera zooms in, and zooms in. And you see Murphy's eye. It's so subtle, but it's friggin genius.
The Director, Paul Verhoeven, makes an appearance in the nightclub scene. He is the guy furiously “air drumming” to the beat when he pops up on screen. Camera film responds differently to light than the human eye, in order for Robocop’s armor to appear silver on screen, the suit was actually green. Peter Weller studied mime in order to portray emotions with his body and stance while having his face obscured.
I didnt know that, but i see it in the way his body moves separately from his head when he turns.
Major respect for Weller, he mentioned the suit was so heavy, he lost a lot of weight by the time shooting ended! Not to mention the HOURS it took to get him in the suit and then out of it, yikes!
I'm just finding out he's the same guy who directed Starship Troopers and the notorious Showgirls
@@Stanlayy-em4fk and Basic Instinct!
Also great reaction when the gun is knocked out of his hand and another dancer catches it and keeps dancing. So many hilarous weirdness in this movie.
@21:00, as heartbreaking as this scene is its also a moment of triumph of the human spirit.
He stops being Robocop and became Alex Murphy again.
I remember tearing up the watching this back in the day. A machine would have laid down and been destroyed. A human being will keep fighting to survive until the last breath.
@Techno Pirate " A machine would have laid down and been destroyed. A human being will keep fighting to survive until the last breath." hmmmm its obvious you haven't been introduced to the Cyberdyne Systems model T-101T-800 nor its upgrade the T-1000.
@@dunbarf2413 Yeah, i think Kyle Reece might agree!
@@dunbarf2413 I’m well aware of the Terminator series. Doesn’t discount what I said about the human spirit.
The cyborgs presented in that series are just machines and were never people to begin with. They were made to kill and are operating from a homicidal programming directive.
Murphy despite realizing all that he had lost, still chose not to give up and keep fighting to stay alive. I think a lot of people realizing their condition might have just given up. Murphy didn’t and he is heroic for that.
@@dcourt2724 LMAO. Touché
😂😂😂😂😂 "Just two legs, twerking in the lobby" 26:08 Baby that was PURE GRAVVVY GENIUS.
This film was released when i was 7 years old in 1987 and now in my 41 years old i still love this masterpiece. Robocop directed by Paul Verhoeven starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, Miguel Ferrer and music score by Basil Poledouris. Thank you so much Alanda for reacting the movie from my childhood
I got free tickets to an unknown movie for a test screening in 1987. It was RoboCop. I ended up seeing it 17 times in the theater (most of any movie I've ever seen). The violence and satire struck 18 year old me. Still love this movie.
“Just 2 legs twearkin in the lobby” 😂
The beautiful thing about Verhoeven’s movies is how, as despicable and dystopian the world becomes, there’s always a few people who manage to still show humanity and, while they can’t undo the damage, can make a small difference.
Murphy is the obvious one, but the CEO, played by Dan O’Herlihy (Grig from “The Last Starfighter”), is genuinely trying to solve the crime problem in Detroit. Granted, he’s going about it through gentrification and building over Detroit with the Delta City project, but you can see a flicker of humanity in him, as obscured as it is by this 80s yuppie mentality.
The ending scene, he’s the only OCP executive that doesn’t treat Robocop like product, but talks to him and treats him like a person. That alone gives a small, optimistic hint that the world isn’t necessarily doomed.
So glad the younger generations are watching the glorious masterpiece that is RoboCop
"Peter, are you the schmuck in question?" Sadly and humorously prophetic. Best. Leo.
"I'm what you call a repeat offender. I repeat, I WILL offend again!" Glad you laughed at that joke along with me Alanda.
I was gonna go to bed, but this is better
Damn you read my mind 😂😂..
"She probably spent a lot of money on that wig."
XD
Best reaction to that iconic scene
OMG!!! THAT shit was SO funny.
I love how Paul Verhoven uses TV as a world-building tool in his movies. Seeing the news footage and the kinds of shows people are watching gives you a great sense of what kind of place the characters live in. Total Recall does the same thing
"It growls?!" Isn't that just such a nice touch? It shows a personality, not a great one, but one nonetheless. Best. Mike.
Also, check out more of Paul Veerhovens work; “total recall”, “starship troopers”, hollow man”, and “black book”
Starship Troopers was a huge disappointment. Nothing at all like the book.
@@44excalibur That was the point 🙄 Verhoeven saw the book as a fascist lovestory and went out of his way to satirize the hell out of it.
@@Sara_Feingold Verhoeven was wrong. He didn't even read the damn book and just had the screenwriters tell him the story. I can tell you never read the book either. You even saying that is disrespectful to Robert Heinlein's work, one of the greatest science fiction writers in history.
@@44excalibur make yourself some chamomile tea. Relax.
@@indiatastic Read books. That's how I relax. Don't go by Hollywood directors.
"I want a recount! I want my old job back!"
hmm...
The make up work by Rob Bottin was really overlooked by the Academy. He should've been nominated and won.
At least he won for TOTAL RECALL (alebit a "SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT
OSCAR")
The Academy is well known for snubbing sci-fi films.
“They just love a murder in the conference room.”
Some people really do!
Another great reaction!
That line "I can feel them, but I can't remember them" actually made into the animated series RoboCop: Alpha Commando.
9:00 Murphy was such a good person and believed in being a good cop that he didn’t go back and just take revenge on the criminals that killed him or the corporate goons who exploited his flesh. In Robocop 2, the company tried to make more Robocops but when they woke up as monsters they always went crazy and either killed themselves or went on a shooting crime spree or both. But Murphy, even when he regained his memory acted like a cop. It’s a very cool character.
Oddly enough despite all of the graphic violence the director Paul Voorhoven says he sees Robocop as a Christ resurrection metaphor.
Alex Murphy dies for the sins of Detroit. But is later reborn to bring salvation and justice to the people.
And just for the record, Paul Verhoeven is an atheist.
@@monsterlair Damned ironic isn’t it
Yes! Complete with Robocop walking on water near the end!
Yes! Complete with Robocop walking on water near the end!
@@indiatastic LOL. Yep you noticed that analogy as well
Yes!
First truly violent VHS that my young eyes saw - just perfection.
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me" - chiils.
Fun fact - Objective 1, Serve the Public Trust, writer got that from a fortune cookie.
"-Bobby, you fell in with the wrong crowd" xD Thanks for making me spill my drink with that one :D
The remake wasn't bad, it did put its own spin on this movie, that given enough time at a later date, is watchable in its own right. The only one you should stay away from is Robocop 3, which didn't feature Peter Weller at all and the plot/story is utter garbage.
I didn't like the story in the remake. It didn't have a villain like Clarence. But as far as the satire went, that's the part they nailed down (although, truth be told, I think life passed that satire).
And yeah, Robocop 3 was bad. Not just the story, but the satire in it was also too weak (maybe because they focussed too much on the relocation program).
The remake is definitely better than Robocop 3 :) I also love Michael Keaton and Gary Oldman in that movie. And that part where ED 209s patrolling Iran while giving the traditional Muslim greeting ("Peace be upon you!"), when I watched the movie in the cinema, everyone laughed like mad for five minutes at that scene!
God yes....Robocop 3 was trash juice
The Plot makes sense, its about Gentrification and Private Militarism but the actual movie story is wack they didnt go anywhere with what they had.
@@rubenlopez3364 It's also about the influence of social media and how "news channels" focus on public opinion rather than facts.
I remember watching this as a kid for the first time and going WTF!!! From the over the top violence to how Murphy became Robocop. Classic film IMHO that never gets old.
So, I’m a big fan and I loved your Terminator videos, but this was next level. Your editing is so on point. You basically hit all the most important points in the movie in under a third of the time. Brilliant. I’ll write more later, but thanks for being you and being there!
Thank you so much! 🥰
"Is she feelin some robo love?" 🤭🤭
What makes Robocop so interesting is that concepts like militarization of the police force, total corporate control of government, television inspired violence, 24 hour news, entire cities being violent hellscapes, profit over everything etc. those concepts existed but they weren't normalized; they weren't accepted as just normal. In the Robocop world that stuff was all just normal and 1987 when it was made that was just so shocking to people. Now 35 years later all that stuff is just normal; its just the way life is. Its hard to describe how shocking this movie was when it came out considering how things are now but it was so far out there then but its just normal.
It is great though to see someone as young as Alanda Parker who was born after all this terrible stuff became normalized see that it shouldn't it shouldn't be normal at all.
I love how you include all the best clips in your reactions. I’ve seen others where either they show their reaction to a scene but not the scene, or don’t include it all together. You get all the right ones, even the gore.
Your facial reaction when he responded to the question "What's your name?" said what you were feeling. No words necessary. :-)
The short time Murphy had as a human on screen showed he was a genuine good man and father. When his human eye peered through his broken visor when fighting ED209, it was a sigh of relief that his human self was kicking back in. That was my favorite part of the movie.
Clarence and his boys provided iconic lines lol
My friend Nancy plays Officer Anne. She's good in everything. Check her out in Brian De Palma's BLOWOUT, a suspense thriller with John Travolta. Her best role imo.
You’re friends with Nancy Allen?! No way!!
@@Boroman9 , yes way 😊
@@robertjewell9727 I've liked her in everything I've seen her in. Good actress!
also great in De Palma's "Carrie" as a Mean Girl---and also paired with Travolta like in Blow-Out. De Palma definitely had some Hitchcockian habits when casting.
@@frankrossi6972 , yes, trying to get reactors to watch BLOWOUT. I sent Nancy this one.
A childhood classic for me. I'm not going to say what that "baby food" looks like. Warmed my heart when he called himself "Murphy" to the OCP boss.
I died when she said…help you how?😂😂
May I suggest Misery based on a Stephan King novel.
Great suggestion!
It feels refreshing to see this movie through someone else's eyes, specially the gore and insane squib parts xD Loved her reactions
I remember watching this as a 7 year old...only when I watched it later did I realize how messed up it was for a 7 year old to be watching. I was disturbed and loved it. You'll never look at Red Foreman the same way again...We actually have a RoboCop statue but deciding where to put him.
Love,
From Detroit 💙
It also shows that the Man, even in a machine, stays a Man.
AS he reafirms his own existance when he tells the OCP CEO "I'm Murphy"
It is one of the 80's Scyfy action classics.
Fun fact- When Emil crashes into the toxic waste and is all burned and deformed, they kept actor Paul McCrane separated from the rest of the cast when he was in the make-up. When he approaches Leon Nash begging for help, Nash's reaction and scream was genuine as he wasn't told that was going to happen. He thought that some freak was actually trying to attack him.
To this day, I _cannot_ look at Kurtwood Smith without hearing Murphy yell, "Clearance!" And...they had to cut a few seconds out of the scene where they blow his hand off to get an R rating. It was X before the cut. I had so much fun watching this with you! Thank you!
There's an old school youtube video somewhere where someone made a music video with Robocop to Journey's "Don't stop believing" and I can never separate the two in my head now.
ED209 is the guitar solo.
this film makes me cry because of Murphy's story especially the flash back scenes with his old life
Yess First Good way to start the week-end with one of your reaction 💜💜
Hell yes!
@15:00, the actor who plays Emil is veteran character actor Paul McCrane. Throughout his years he has played a wide variety of roles.
Case in point, the first time I ever saw him act was in the movie Fame. He played a soft spoken gay drama student named Montgomery who was struggling with his sexuality. Here in Robocop he is a psychotic career criminal. Dude has a lot of range.
And was amazing on ER
Johnson is hilarious. Hes been running OCP from the shadows whole time.
Growing up in Dallas/Ft Worth it always threw me for a loop to see the Dallas skyline in this movie I was a kid at the time I'm sure i was like hey i know those buildings 😄
I know right? I recognized reunion tower.
I genuinely enjoy watching your reaction to some of my favorite movies. I grew up on this stuff and it hold a special place in my heart and to see a beautiful woman such as yourself enjoying them and appreciating them for what they are is awesome!
So from what I can understand looking back on the movie, the corpo rats that made robot cop were 100% psycho paths..... but they still had the cities best interests at heart.
They still needed customers, after all. A crime-ridden hellhole means no business, so OCP should have the city's best interests
I was only 10 years old when this movie Robocop was first released in theaters.
4:29 Yeah, my reaction exactly when I saw this for the first time as a kid. Even today I have to flinch whenever this scene pops up during the film.
Whats even funnier is the data needle segments are actually robocop flipping the bird at them.
"I hate to watch somebody who's doomed.' Girl, you're about to go on a real bad trip. That scene had me messed up for real as a child.
I love that this ultra-violent movie that starts with a dude literally getting blown to pieces got turned into a cartoon aimed at children. The 80's were somethin.
Twerking legs in the lobby, a murder in the conference room, etc.; you are hilarious!
4:38 Sure, evil corporation and all, but yeah, this is what you call a glitch. Problem here was that the thing was loaded with live ammo.
Was always my thought... It an demo why use live ammo at a demo. These people did not give a fuck
Shows you just how far removed from reality these CEO's and executives are.
I'm reminded of something a friend of mine who builds battlebots told me: "You NEVER have your weapon(s) on the same power source as your drive system."
this is a masterpiece of satire. paul verhoeven's opus.
A great moment in the movie is the moment when Murphy asked officer Luis to help him adjust when he was trying aim at the baby food bottles . he starts using his regular voice not the default robot voice . This was not in the script Peter Weller improved this scene to let the audience know that Murphy was regaining his humanity
Alanda I just found this video by chance, Robocop is close to my heart and watching you enjoy it for the first time brought a lot of joy to me, great reactions and amazing editing for us to enjoy. Thank you.
This movie Robocop was first released in theaters about 34 years ago in theaters. But the first time I saw this movie Robocop when it came out on VHS and I saw this movie over my Mom and Dad's Friends House when I was only 11 years old. I really love this movie a lot. To this day I still Love watching this movie a lot.
Verhoven said once that it's really a story about a machine discovering it has human memories and emotions. It's easy to think that it's Murphy in there, and while it's true there's bits of him present, it's not really Alex Murphy; he died on the operating table. In part 2 he tells Murphy's widow that "they made this to honor him," speaking of his face, and how it resembles her deceased husband.
Seen a couple of your videos, and you are already one of my favourite movie first time reactors. Specially with how quickly you grasped the text of the movie.
Thank you so much!! 😊💛
This is a classic and one of my favorite films, I'm so glad you want to see it.
Seriously love all your commentaries, Alanda. They always make my day.
Thank you!! 😊
RoboCop was like lightning in a bottle. A true Action/Comic book movie 😎
This movie and Blade Runner defined Cyberpunk.
Arnie met up with Verhoven and said he loved RoboCop and asked if they could do a movie together. Enter Total Recall. I wish I had seen that one on the big screen. I saw Robo when it cam out in 1987 at the cinema.
"Vague, but direct." lmao love it
Robocop is probably the best introduction to the movies of Paul Verhoeven, a Dutch filmmaker, who's run through Hollywood in the 80s and 90s was one of the most consistent in modern history; making blockbusters that were ultraviolent, satirical, depraved, and loaded with political subtext. On the surface, these movies were adolescent, live action comic books which didn't hold back in the sleazy and queasy departments, but the more you watch them (and his Dutch films as well), a fully rounded, subversive vision comes into focus. A true cinematic genius if there ever was one.
Alanda Parker
I bumped into your channel about a week ago (after one night of binging movie reaction videos, with a few of my homegirls, lol), and I must say, I find your videos, "authentic" and VERY entertaining, and your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite movie reaction channels on RUclips (Behind "Struggle Nation" and "Something Cinema!"). Keep up the great work.
fun fact: that scene where the guy is being slimey and hitting on the secretary asking her if she could "fit him in" that was the actor's wife IRL
I love it when the mayor says, "And I want a recount and no matter what the results, I want to be President again." Oh wait, that was Trump. 😁
Lmao u say it as if the present time were in is not shit worse with him gone but hey fuck it maybe with corrupt dealings all through bidens term we might get a real life robocop
Now just imagine Trump asking for fresh coffee.....
Great reaction moments and you caught some moments that many haven't even noticed about this movie. Spot on comments. Great video :)
LMFAO.. " Bobby you fell in with the wrong crowd " solid truth
It's always an awesome feeling to see first-time reactions to one of my favorite movies growing up (back when I wasn't even old enough to watch it).
Robocop is one of those movies that how matter how much it showed its age, it's a classic upon first viewing. Allot of tropes that when over my head as a youth (like Robocop being a Christ-like figure) really made me appreciate it even more.
I really enjoy enjoy your reaction!
12:05 "...I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!" Humm... Now where have I heard that before? ;-]
From every hotly contested election from 2000 on.
Ed209: taken out by stairs lol just take the stairs to get away
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I really enjoyed your reaction.
I was recommended this reaction I couldn't stop laughing at all your comments. You pretty much got the whole idea of the movie right away. This is one of my favorite movies and I'm glad you enjoyed. Fun Fact: the toxic waste scene where the guy was melting almost didn't make the cut because the producers thought it was too gruesome. But when they showed this movie to a test audience and producers asked what was one of their favorite and the toxic waste scene was in there so they kept it. Also fun fact: that toxic waste scene was one their highest budgets to film.
It wasn't the producers, it was the ratings board. The guys making the movie had to do a lot of negotiations to keep it from having an X rating slapped on it. Part of the problem was the head rolling across the hood and bouncing off the windshield. The ratings board wanted that removed. However, they did the effect by making a hollow, melted-person-shaped shell, then filling it with all of their organic garbage for quite some time, letting it rot, then actually running the car through it. They only had the one muck-filled shell, so they couldn't do a second take, and this was before CGI, so it had to be done with practical effects. By making significant cuts elsewhere (ex: the scene where the ED-209 blows away Kenney or the scene where the bad guys take out Murphy) they were able to finally get their R rating without having to redo the toxic waste scene.
Movie ideas: Edge of Tomorrow, Children of Men, District 9
Edge of Tomorrow is pure trash, read the manga is WAAAAAY better. (and completely different)
Childer of Men is ok.
District 9 is pure cinemathic garbage.
@@orvoloco8261

Don't ever have children.
@@Cbricklyne lol, dude, stfu and learn something about movies before open the shit-hole you call mounth.
Fun fact: both Kurtwood Smith and Peter Weller have been in several star trek shows and movies.
I happened to see this channel on my homepage. I like it. Instant sub. I saw RoboCop at the movies, when I was 7. I went with my cousin and brother, who are 4 and 6 years older than me, respectfully. One of my all-time, favorite movies.
I clicked on this just thinking, "I can't wait to see her reaction to Murphy's death scene"...but, you caught some of the "jokes/commentary/commercials" early on. I saw this as a kid and didn't appreciate it. This movie aged well. Another great review; really looking forward to the last dragon!
The second movie is worth a watch, too. The third? Only for a fan of the franchise. It's heavily flawed but still has some cool moments. It went through studio hell and it's butchered to all hell. The tie in computer game for Robocop 3 came out well before the movie and had an earlier version of the script to work from and was pretty damned good. Sadly that scripted was shredded. The remake is... pointless. It's not that it's a bad film, it's just the first film but about 10% worse in all things than the original. The original is satire, the remake takes itself too seriously. Only worth watching to sate your curiosity.
It's funny when she says "you're an Evil piece of shit!" I want to root for the bad guys. lol
