Clever grandparents! Lucky you! I’m the only one in my family who is in love with this movie. All the others think that it’s just a stupid robot action movie. So annoying
Can we just take a moment to appreciate all the special effects, matte painters, stop motion animators, etc... that put so much blood, sweat, and tears into this masterpiece of a movie.
When MEN made movies. Not kids, not women, not pansies. Men, using their creativity and hard work to tell an interesting story. We've almost completely lost that.
RIP Miguel Ferrer, aka "Bob Morton". You might have been cashed out but your performance will always be one of the most memorable in this movie. Robocop was full of character actors giving their all - it makes the movie feel so rich and full. And DAMN he was a good-looking dude in his early 30s here... I'm so used to seeing him as an old man I sometimes forget that was a handsome man back in the day LOL
Miguel Ferrer was a super talented performer. Of course, he had a head-start of sorts. His parents were the superb actor Jose Ferrer and wonderful singer/actress Rosemary Clooney.
Robocop was one of the best movies I've seen as a child. The 80's were a blast! Cinema days were so powerful then, because you only had a VHS version, no pirated downloads and nowhere to get a descent copy but to watch it on cinema alone.
@@ThunderAppeal i agree with you but tbh that is quite exaggerating but yeah movies are good just because they are good, not because they are from some era, if they are good in 100bc it will still be good in present day, just different tastes since tastes are according to era and time, nostalgia effect can really amplify the actual ratings of some stuff, take gaming for example, there are still obviously people saying doom in the 90s is better than doom now, that is false in terms of gameplay and graphics, and i am one of the ones playing doom on its early days on voodoo stuff.
Very true, it´s one of those movies that most idiots can´t see past the action scenes and the violence, so since they are too thick to understand the subtle satire in it, they call it a shitty action movie. But the way Verhoeven satires and criticizes corporate America, the neo-liberalism of the 80´s, the difference between the several layers of society. It´s pure genius and a kind of movie nobody makes anymore because they are too scared of losing money at the box office.
@connextro I was old enough and I loved movies and effects, as I do now. But thanks for the comment, I'm a pretty grown man now, and those days were unforgettable. So many good movies, so little time...
I feel u I copped the unrated version in 4k last year (it's actually my third copy cuz I love the movie so much lol) and when I watch it it's so crystal clear and the fps go up immensely almost like it's in fast forward I can't help to think like wow when I seen this as a kid it never looked this good even in the movie theaters and it did look great but u ain't seen how good RoboCop 1 is until u see it in 4k on a 60' it almost looks fake like it's been redone with CGI even though it's all practical effects that's just how good the special effects team was for this film
I was 4 years old, loving the scene going nenene ;D My fav movie along with terminator.. Just in recent years seen the director's cut, and only then did I realize how brutal it all actually was.
It was the violence that blew us away. Every gun scene was amped up and extended well beyond anything at the time. This guy pushed the limits but with a sense of humour. Big shout to Kurtwood Smith and Ronnie Cox!
When the directors and actors are involved in every scene insteads of being told to pretend or outright reprlaced with CGI it has definetely taken a lot away from the quality of movies we have today that is for sure. Hardly anything in this movie was CGI but practical effects same with all those great movies from the 80's. They remake these today and they are a shadow or outright terrible compared. The remake they did of Robocop was just terrible and I can't even remember anything about it.
remember, those guys, both actors and director, took a script called Robocop and turned it into one of the greatest and absolutly timeless masterpiece of cinema.
I almost get depressed when I watch 80's movies and listen to 80's music. It was such an amazing time to be alive! The last decade of analog life. Economy was good, you could get a good paying job right out of high school. Wages weren't all that different, average starting wage for a mechanic was about $20/hr, now its about $22/hr but the value of that money that's changed. You could buy a brand new car for under $10,000, you could get yourself a home with a decent chunk of land for $60,000.. The constant threat of nuclear annihilation from the USSR I could've done without, but VHS machines, cassette tapes, recording your favorite songs on the radio, wonderful world of disney on Sunday nights (I think), Fraggle rock, The Dark Crystal.. Ahhh the nostalgia. I often tell my son that I wish he could've had the childhood I did.
I think the series of events/problems that lead up to Verhoeven ending up directing this were a blessing. It ended up a classic the way he did it. Even though all the actors while doing it thought it was going to be a total joke. One of the greats of the 80s, love it still
Paul Verhoven is one of the best directors of the 20th century, his films have made a greater cultural impact than many other more popular film makers.
something that i love , is the fact that when you see peter weller playing robocop , you don't see peter weller playing robocop , you just see robocop himself ! one of the best actor ever
@Lee Johnstone Now that I agree with. I believe that CGI works best when you can't tell its being used, which is usually when incorporated with practical effects as you said. I just don't agree with the notion that CGI is inferior to handmade, practical effects. Both have their limitations, but work wonders when combined.
@Lee Johnstone I'm aware that Nolan only uses CGI when he has to, and that's one of the ways how CGI can work at its best, because it's usually encorporated with practical effects so that it blends in, rather than sticking out like a sore thumb, like the over abundance of CGI in Marvel movies.
Man, this the labor that went into the special effects is a combination of mind-blowing and genius. I love that extra level of realism you get with blood packets, blank cartridges, puppets, prosthetics, etc. CGI just can't capture those fine details, though I think if CGI existed back then, I wouldn't mind putting some of those effects to use in fine-tuning the way ED-209 moved (keep the robot model and stop animation though).
The start really shows you how amazing the lighting, camera worked cinematography was in the actual film. Peter Weller looks small in the suit yet in the movie he looks huge and intimidating.
I adore that much of this movie can exist physically in a museum. Of course a story, the quality of the writing, using practical effects or CGI isn't any better, but with CGI usually there is nothing left, not even clothes sometimes...
Rob Botten is a master of SFX, his work on Robocop and The Thing are fantastic in terms of originality, creativity and realism. That fact that they still hold up today if proof of how effective practical FX are. Its a shame its such an undervalued art nowdays.
3:46 Now I understand why Peter Weller went on to get a PHd in Italian Renaissance Art History - he was clearly a step above the rest of the cast and crew in terms of intelligence and insight
A film where nearly every line of dialogue is instantly quotable. A brilliant satirising script showing that greed cheapens people’s lives with superb special effects. Extraordinary.
Saw it as a kid and several of the SFX scenes stick with me even today - Murphy's hand blown off and his brains getting blown out, melted Emil, especially when he splatters on a windshield. It left an impression and those scenes still hold up today. The stop motion stuff was a bit hokey even then, but ED-209 is still iconic. It's just a great movie. On the surface it's typical 80's fare: a big boisterous dystopian sci-fi thriller with some Western themes, gratuitous violence, and a bunch of colorful characters. But it's so much more than just that. It's really a classic.
There's something so special about the raw films that I really like. I guess it's all the artwork that it takes and we see on that screen creates a unique feeling like looking at a beautiful or interesting painting.
I loved this movie as a kid, but it wasn't until I rewatched it many years later that I could appreciate what a masterpiece it really is. Everything about it is perfect - absolutely deserves to be held up as one of the all time great movies.
I remember my dad renting this, thinking it would be a cheesy, cartoon-style violence type film. Imagine being us kids and seeing the Hard R-rated violence, f-bombs and gore and we were expecting to see something in the vein of Knight Rider. Its still an amazing film. I can look at it now as a classic, unsurpassed by its countless sequels and rip-offs.

What was your reaction being a kid and watching Robocop?
@ How bloody and violent it was. I wasn't prepared for that. As a kid I loved stiff like Transformers and when even younger I enjoyed The Six Million dollar Man. Prior to seeing it I assumed it would be a sort of combination of those two things. A man gets shot down and is brought back, only now with super-powers, fighting crime as a cyborg. Never did I think it would be this RAW. I was even more surprised at how tragic they played it. It might be weird for people today, but seeing that "Coming Soon" poster with a cartoonish name like ROBOCOP (almost sounds like Robotech), we thought it would be something like a live-action cartoon. NOTHING prepared us for what it was!
Dude! Same thing happened at my house! I was 8. It was instantly my favorite movie, still is to this day. Hell, my parents took me to see Robocop 2 in theaters when I was 10, lol.
Same.here... i have to say I still remember some of the more gorier parts.... It was shocking in a bad way. I haven't watched RoboCop since then and I am not sure I want to... and I am in the 40's
@@yusepbcn hell a family friend a Dallas Cop no less got me a uncensored bootleg copy of the movie when I was 10 back in 1988 , ,said he was assigned crowd control during the actual filming ( first Robocop was filmed at various locations in downtown Dallas TX) as a 10 year old I freaking loved it , , , one of my favorite moments was " Give the man a hand" , , , years later I bought Robocop 1 and 2 on DVD 📀 for perfect image quality , , you should watch film again a few times if it scared you so women won't think of you as a weenie, , " come on SAL the Tigers are playing tonight" 😋😋
I still believe it hasn't got the recognition it deserves, it is a great movie, and they did an amazing job with a very limited budget. It was done by geniuses.
Man... The memories this brings... I was so invested in this series that bought all the video games I could get my hands on and a poster of Mr. Robo stepping out of his police car... Ah! The nostalgia! I even had a short demo on my Atari ST that had some low frame GIFs in monochrome with sound effects that made it look like snippets of footage from the original movie, the sheer number of times I watched this... Now "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I still think Hollywood's 80s and 90s cost and schedule overruns were what helped make the movies from that era significantly more creative than what we get today.
Hollywood would have butchered this too if they didn't get someone from outside the hollywood machine to direct it. No one else could have made the film Paul Verhoeven, his cast and crew made.
The soundtrack alone is bone chilling... Something that doesn't exist in movies anymore, an actual orchestra... Practical effects with very little or no CGI... CGI will never replace great talent and the heart and soul put into a production like this...
I never expected such a thing from this movie and the first impression that comes from the title “Robocop” This really blew my mind, what a masterpiece 👍
Casting was perfect. Everyone on the film was 100% committed to giving it their very best, despite all the on-set strife....they worked very hard and created a timeless masterpiece. Weller was just brilliant.
I was about 12 when my Dad came home all excited with this on VHS..... My mum said I weren't allowed to watch it, and my Dad said it's ok, it's a Robot film.... Then they killed Murphy ! This was the first time I saw any kind of violence like this.... I remember I sat there stiff as anything, in total shock.... I remember my dad quickly pausing it and telling me I weren't allowed to watch it.... hahahaha.... I feel honoured now that this was my 1st proper violent scene in a movie, and the 1st time I saw anyone get killed !!!! Never thought of that before.... Buzzziinnnnnn !!!!!!!!
A couple of yesterdays I went to see her at the movies... And I loved it... I was very little... And days later they bought me my robocop toys.... I played for hours with my robocop action figure ..... I never had the patrol... It was the only thing missing
I always thought the blown off hand effect looked kinda curious. Now I see why: it's literally a pre-cut jigsaw hand that's blown away with compressed air.

Real special effects, real gun shots,real people. Today we have CGI,modern movies looks like a video game...
Tenet didn’t
@@zaprese nolan hates cgi
Your right they need to use cgi all time in nowaday movies can’t keep it plane and simple like old films
They should not pay these new sctors as much ss thry paid real Movie Stars!
@@richardfoley653 Watch The Dark Crystal : Age of Resistance on Netflix. Old fashioned puppetry revisited. It's magnificent.
Never seen this before. Great to see all these new angles and special effects. Loved the Murphy dummy. That looked so real.
This movie is in my top 10 of all time, maybe even top 5.
Man... The memories this brings... I was so invested in this series that bought all the video games I could get my hands on and a poster of Mr. Robo stepping out of his police car... Ah! The nostalgia! I even had a short demo on my Atari ST that had some low frame GIFs in monochrome with sound effects that made it look like snippets of footage from the original movie, the sheer number of times I watched this... Now "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
Such an amazing film, everything about it. "Dead or alive you're coming with me"
When directing, filming and acting were true, masterful artforms. Cinematography taken seriously!
What a great team. What a great movie. One of the best and most efficient endings I've seen, too.
I can't get over the pop sound when the hand comes off. That's what i'll hear every time in this scene now. Thanks for that.
The creation of a Masterpiece.
6:32 the way he looks up with that mustache makes him a legit artist alone
Robocop wasn’t just an action film, it was a great film all together
Back when Hollywood was actually good and made good movies 😏
They Focus to make movies now they are politics.
I still think Hollywood's 80s and 90s cost and schedule overruns were what helped make the movies from that era significantly more creative than what we get today.
Hollywood would have butchered this too if they didn't get someone from outside the hollywood machine to direct it. No one else could have made the film Paul Verhoeven, his cast and crew made.
When filmmaking was an art... Good old days.
The soundtrack alone is bone chilling... Something that doesn't exist in movies anymore, an actual orchestra... Practical effects with very little or no CGI... CGI will never replace great talent and the heart and soul put into a production like this...
When actors did most of their own stunts!! awesome.
Man, Weller nailed those movements. That sold the whole thing. Even after all these years I still love Robocop.
The Murphy death scene is one of the most disturbing scenes in movie history
Yes i was traumatised when i was a Child
RIP Miguel Ferrer, great actor. Those effects are still today the best, no Pc for needed.
I was way too young when I first witnessed this great film.. the killing of Murphy horrified me. Now it's my favorite action movie of all time!
This movie had the best cast of executives I've ever seen. Great performances all around.
That Rob Bottin was on literally everything worth a damn during the 80s
This was one of the most brutal movies ever made at the time.
I never expected such a thing from this movie and the first impression that comes from the title “Robocop”
This really blew my mind, what a masterpiece 👍
Casting was perfect. Everyone on the film was 100% committed to giving it their very best, despite all the on-set strife....they worked very hard and created a timeless masterpiece. Weller was just brilliant.
3:00 - Paul V, Simply the very best.
So cool. It feels like a real life interview. The movie capture you add music and the voices are more into your own ear.
Probably my most favorite movie ever
I was about 12 when my Dad came home all excited with this on VHS.....
My mum said I weren't allowed to watch it, and my Dad said it's ok, it's a Robot film.... Then they killed Murphy ! This was the first time I saw any kind of violence like this.... I remember I sat there stiff as anything, in total shock.... I remember my dad quickly pausing it and telling me I weren't allowed to watch it.... hahahaha....
I feel honoured now that this was my 1st proper violent scene in a movie, and the 1st time I saw anyone get killed !!!! Never thought of that before.... Buzzziinnnnnn !!!!!!!!
Every time I see Red Foreman, I think, "...nananananana *pow*"
He is and will always be Clarence Boddicker.
I just think of that 70’s show.

@@simonl1785 Dumbass Reds favourite saying haha I love it. Play that funky music right now *_Paul, Liverpool UK_*
One of the greatest movie villains ever.
My favourite film of all time. A classic 💯
That's pretty damn incredible! Amazing effects even for the time they were in
One of my favourite movies of all time. So much to love about Robocop from just the effects work alone, let alone the story and performances.
A timeless classic.
Amazing! Damn, I miss movies like this! And I wasn't even born when this came out.
A couple of yesterdays I went to see her at the movies... And I loved it... I was very little... And days later they bought me my robocop toys.... I played for hours with my robocop action figure ..... I never had the patrol... It was the only thing missing
I always thought the blown off hand effect looked kinda curious. Now I see why: it's literally a pre-cut jigsaw hand that's blown away with compressed air.
Peter Weller done a fantastic job playing Robocop didnt he? Nobody could have done it any better than him !! 👍👍👍👍👍
That puppet looked so real it would have been a blast to leave it at some random place and watch people's reaction when the see it.
This was my favorite movie since I was 5 years old and I've never seen this. Thanks for the upload!
Bob Morton is Steve Jobs of robotics, very much ahead of his time.
...and now I'm imagining Steve Wozniak sending Clarence Boddicker to kill Steve Jobs, while Jobs is just chilling at home with a couple of hookers.
2021 and still this one is one of the best movies ever!
_7:18__ - This scene even seen in making of is still scary and impressive_
