The analog effects you speak of are called "optical effects." It is achieved by putting two layers of different elements over each other to creat the desired effect. More than one pass can be done over the negative to create the desired effects. My job before computers completely took over.

When Murphy walks through his deserted home, the memories of his wife and little boy flooding... that simple, brief scene, with the score, has more heartbreaking poignancy than all of the family drama combined in the 2014 remake.

The practical effects of Robocop where done by the same effects wizard who did the effects in The Thing, Rob Bottin, no CGI, it was done with stop motion animation by Phil Tippett, who had previously worked on The Empire Strikes Back.

This has always been one of my favorite films. It’s surprisingly deep and thoughtful while being completely relentless. I wish I could watch RoboCop again for the first time. Enjoyed your reactions. 🙌

Something we take for granted today: when Clarence Bonicker was about to kill Bob Morton he pulls out a DVD and pops it in to play the video of Dick Jones. At the time this came out, there was no word "DVD" and no discs like that for video. They only had music CDs and video required a large record-sized laser discs or VHS tapes.

Great movie. Pretty awesome seeing this movie when I was a kid. Didn't grasp the satire until much later though lol. You have to see the other 2 of Paul Verhoven satire trilogy, Total Recall and Star Ship Troopers.

Robocop is such a great film, the 1980s certainly produced a lot of great sci-fi movies, and this is definitely one of them. Another great film by the same director is Total Recall (1990). I think I've recommended this film before, it stars Arnie and it's so good, got some really fab special effects. To get back to Robocop, the special effects are superb (yes, definitely some gory bits and violence!) but in the end it's just a fascinating, intriguing story. Some of it is poignant too as Murphy begins to remember, so well done. Peter Weller was amazing as Robocop and the action sequences superb. So glad you enjoyed it, George, I thought you would! Thanks for a fantastic reaction, really enjoyed it and it is so interesting hearing your comparisons to the other Robocop film.Take care now.

Love that you say in the end that it is like a miracle Murphy survives the brutal shooting. It is exactly what Paul Verhoeven intended. He draws a parallel with the ressurection of Christ who came back from the dead! It ads more shock value, but also makes his search for his killers more urgent. Good review, and a reminder of the brilliance that is Robocop!

The interior of robocop's house is a real house and that back fireplace still exists in the house, I think thats so cool

Must say it was exhilarating to revisit my favorite scenes and see someone flip out with them for the first time

There's one thing I noticed in that Ed 209 scene no blood on the walls. That robot literally destroyed that guy you think there would be an absolute mess in that room.

Peter Weller spent 6 months practicing how to move and walk like Robocop. Bloody brilliant.

I first watched this film as a teenager while babysitting a five year old boy and his seven year old sister. Their parents let them watch it and they loved playing it over and over and reenacting various scenes from it, especially the part where the guy got melted. They didn’t fully understand what was going on and thought it was funny. Good times, good times….

Robocop is not just an ‘actioner’ or a sci-fi, or even a futuristic movie of death and destruction. It’s a long close look at where humanity is going. The movie in a whole is so far ahead of its time that at 20 odd years ago, when the movie was released, it seemed far-fetched with the police uniforms and cars and society’s views, Military tactics involved in the film and a Police Force that resembles a Peace Keeping Army. These days though, it seems on the tilting point of dated due to being only a few years behind modern day. An absolute master class in film making, Verhoeven’s take on the future is a spookily realistic and well imagined view of our future. Something that the near-prophetic Paul Verhoeven is a master of. Weller as the titular Robocop is another master class on the acting scale. Miming robotic bird movements and bringing a human element to a creature made almost entirely of titanium is a wonder. How he does it, is legend. The suit itself is the reason his movements are so jerky. They were originally going for fluidic movements… but once the suit arrived and Weller spent 11 hours getting into it, they all realised it just wasn’t going to work. After a 4 day halt on shooting, Weller and his movement coach discovered that they would have to create a new movement, based on French Mime Artists from the 1920s. Weller has said that moving like that, is the most unnatural thing he has ever had to do. It had to be big and loud, OTT and hammy-theatrical. Rob Bottin’s creation of the RoboCop armour/suit and makeup, especially when Robo removes his upper mask, is also a wonder to behold. Even by today’s standards the practical effects look genuinely real and have yet to be bettered in any movie I’ve yet to see. What really made RoboCop special though was the quiet moments, where Robo is re-experiencing some of his past, his un-erased memories. It’s something that really brings the audience on a par with Robo’s torn feelings of duty, love, humanity and sheer programming. Mixed with the haunting soundtrack, the movie will live with you for a long time, if not forever. Add to that mix some awesome shoot’ em up action scenes, explosions, black humour and melting men in vats of acid and you’ve got a sure fire hit and the music by the wonderfully enigmatic Basil Poledouris blends everything together perfectly. From the thumping march, to the haunting theme that stands out most prolifically when RoboCop is walking around his old home, remembering his family, Poledouris nails the soundtrack for this movie. --- After a re-watched the remake of RoboCop yesterday, and I've twigged on something about the original that I never noticed before. I’ll get to the main thing in a moment, but for now I’ll just reiterate what I said in ther review I wrote a while back… in the remake, there are a number of problems with RoboCop himself. He's a regular guy, in a robotic suit. He knows who he is, what has happened... and has to deal with it. RoboCop himself, always referred to as "Alex", being a regular guy in a suit is a bland character played blandly by Kinnaman. He’s basically Batman. Maybe Iron Man? Iron Bat? Yeah, Iron Bat. With less character though. The main thing though is a very, very subtle character device that puts the viewer smack-bang into the mind-set of RoboCop himself that was totally overlooked in the remake. In the remake, you meet Alex Murphy's family. You get to see their struggle against the corporate big-wigs and their lawyers. It’s a bit like the revealing scene in the remake, where RoboCop’s outer shell is removed, allowing us to see his inner workings. In my review I called it a question we never asked, and an answer we didn’t need. What I’m saying is, we don’t need to see Alex Murphy’s family. Ok, they went the route of having Alex a more ‘human’ RoboCop and seeing his struggle to reconnect to his loved ones is probably called for in the remake… but, well… that just isn’t what RoboCop is about. In the original, RoboCop is completely mind-wiped (at least, OCP thought they had wiped his memory) and he has to figure out what happened to him… and why… and he has an internal struggle piecing together what he has been turned into... and... most importantly... you never meet his wife and son. All you see are flash memories of them. A quick memory here, a vague memory there... which allows RoboCop to piece together that he once had a life, that he was once alive. This disconnection between the viewer and Alex's family puts the viewer bang on par of the mind-set of what is left of Alex Murphy. He doesn’t know them and neither do you. In his own words, he even says "Murphy had a wife and son, what happened to them?" He has accepted he is no longer Alex Murphy... but that he once was Alex Murphy and he has to deal with and accept that loss, and move on with his, well, move on with his “life”. He then says "I can feel them, but I can't remember them" The other major thing with this is when Alex/Robo is talking about his family, mask off, in the factory where he died… his voice changes. When he’s, let’s say “RoboCop”, his voice is powerful, commanding, bold. While sitting with Lewis with his mask off, being “Alex” his voice softens. It’s quiet, solemn and packed with human heartache. This tells us that, after all he’s been through, Alex is to an extent, still there and he also knows that to the majority, Alex isn’t there anymore. This, is the major overlooked point of RoboCop in the remake, and a subtle character arc that I never spotted until that God-awful remake actually appeared.... the viewer not ever meeting Alex’s family, means the viewer understands RoboCop's viewpoint... and is connected emotionally, 100%, to his predicament. What stands out the most with RoboCop, the thing that people always remember it for, is the violence and the gore… but look just below the surface, just in between the horror, the gore, the violence and the gunfire… is, what I would call, a beautiful story of the human spirit, the enduring and endless boundaries of love and pure emotion, of memories and most of all, the story of pain and loss and dealing with that pain. Verhoeven, mastered these themes of humanity and mortality throughout the entire movie, and then in his unique, inimitable and peerless style laced the whole thing with the ultra-violence, satire and black humour; showing the viewer what they didn’t realise they wanted to see… and also showing the viewer things that they didn’t realise they didn’t want to see.

Great analysis, it’s a childhood favorite. Paul Verhoeven’s style is unique.

So many wonderful details - they hadn't tested ED-209 audio sensors outside a lab, so it couldn't tell the gun was dropped - carpet compared to sterile metal or tile floor. Clarence Boddicker literally working for the same people who owns the cops. Murphy talking about himself in third person right up until the final scene. Also, when we're first introduced to RoboCop in person, he's shot from beneath. As the movie moves on and he becomes more human, the camera films him at higher angles more often.

It's great to see you enjoy one of my favourite movies. It will shock you to know the budget was less than $15 million. The 80s was a special time for sci-fi.

Leading up to 1987, films went from one level to another in violence. Robocop hit the top; broke the meter that measured the brutality & gore. It's like the audience understood that Robocop was the best - or just reached the top - nowhere to go afterwards but down.

I was in the city where they filmed alot of this when I got to see this in 1988 in a double feature Movie house , at the age of "10 years" and when I turned "11 yrs old" I was given the fully uncensored VHS copy of RoboCop , , , , "come along quietly or there will be trouble" , , ,

26:06 -- The Cobra Assault Cannon was built using a .50 BMG rifle.. Robocop's sidearm was never "real" but was entirely built just for the movie. If I remember correctly, it's a heavily modified Sig-Sauer 9mm with an extended barrel and side cladding to make it more impressive...

Paul Verhoeven is definitely the king of cinematic violence & satire so check out his other masterpieces, Total Recall (1990), and Starship Troopers (1997). 26:05 - It's a Barrett M82A1 (which was a new product on the firearms market at the time) that was fluffed up with a fictional long-range scope and explosive rounds.

Great review, spot on. Time for Starship Troopers next.

Yup. Zero CGI. The first instance was The Abyss in 89.

Fun fact: OCP was one of the inspirations for Shin-Ra in Final Fantasy VII.

The scene where they're showing his new arm,look at the monitors behind them you can see Murphy watching them.

Great movie! Funny you mention The Thing because the same guy who did the creature effects from that movie did the melted henchman effects in this movie, or so I'm told.

My parents took me to the cinema to watch it. I was 5 years old… They didn’t give a shit about age restriction in France. Awesome time.

Dear George, a suggestion: react to an iconic film from the 80s-Breakfast Club and then to the music of the film, also a legendary hit-Don't You Forget about me by Simple Minds. Thanks

The original Robocop is such a classic that i even enjoyed watching someone else watch it. Dude , as I'm sure someone else has mentioned already, you have to do Total Recall next! -same director -same music composer -same special effects makeup - same actor as the villian -Arnold Of course, Robocop 2 is great. also written by Frank Miller and directed by the man who did The Empire Strikes Back!

LOL I was 11 when this movie came out. My mom paid for me and a friend to get in the theater. I feel like this movie defined me as a person.

Sad thing is, current day Detroit would need more than Robocop. It would need an implementation of the "Judge" system from "Judge Dredd".

Funny you say that, since RoboCop's original design was pretty clearly inspired by Judge Dredd. You can pretty easilly find pictures of a production sculpture that was featured in the "Making of" portion of the DVD.

Primary Directive #5 would just be an auto-turret with a color chart for targeting.

If you pause at 27:44 you can see Clarence's eye damage make up originally was no glasses and heavy damage on right eye then in next shot it is changed to glasses on with just lens cracked. guess it was an aesthetics choice changed at the last minute during filming.

No CGI was used at that time. Filming took place at 1986! Rob Bottin and his team created all the practicle effects.

Watched this on Friday night 😊

It will shock you to know how long human can survive without organs or while loosing blood. Like yeah, it is like a few minutes to few hours, or even day, depending on kind of injury, but still, most of the time death will not be instant. Unless like direct shot in the head, injuring the most vital parts of the brain, etc. This is why human is considered deceased only when their brain is dead.

First time? Are you kidding me? This is a legendary and brutal movie!!! BIG MOVIE I should say!!!

saw this movie when I was 4. it was a trip

It's interesting to compare Robocop with a Terminator (T-800). They are both cyborgs, but from opposite ends. The Terminator is a Machine with Organic Parts, while Robocop is an Organic with Machine parts. A fight between the two would be interesting, though of course we have no hard data on which mechanisms are stronger, nor which computer systems are more capable.
