When Richard tells Mr. Kinney to "use your gun in a threatening manner," Kinney points it at Rich. Rich corrects him and says "point it at ED 209" like Kinney effed up. But Kinney didn't screw up. The fucking thing isn't advanced enough to recognize that one person pointing a gun at another is "threatening." I'm VERY disappointed, DICK.

In RoboCop during the boardroom ED-209 scene, Dick Jones volunteers Mr. Kinney to be the test subject for an arrest (which goes horribly wrong). My question for the group is had Jones volunteered Morton or Johnson for the demonstration do you think they would’ve done it or turned it down? I think Jones picked Kinney because he knew he was a twerp (as Morton pointed out earlier in the movie so news probably got around ) and wouldn’t say no but he wasn’t so sure about the other junior execs. Thank you for reading

I’m done lol

I thought it was an absolute blast! Loved it! What are your thoughts?

I can't remember if it was a post here or on the Terminator sub, but someone posted the Terminator in Robo gear figure and it reminded me I had never read the comics from the 90s.

Found#1 and was delivered today.

£11.70 inc delivery BUT with that I also got 5 other #1 comics and a #2 (not Robocop or Terminator but ones I wanted to read like Firefly)

Thanks for the reminder stranger.

So law enforcement as an institution has come under fire for issues like entrenched corruption, racism and being used to solve problems it really shouldn't and the like, and how should this manifest in a new verison of Robocop?

Taking into account all RoboCop Media, is there anything in particular you’d like to have worked into the new series or things you’d want it to avoid?

For example, would you like it to further explore the impact of Murphy’s death on his family, or would you like to see more of the other officers within metro west? Just a couple of thoughts to get the conversation flowing, but want to hear your thoughts.

Wow how do you mess it up this badly! "I'll be back!"

I watch robocop at least once a year but I’m wondering if there’s an annual tradition that might make sense. I do gremlins at Christmas. Too many to mention during October. Of course groundhogs day in February and major league during spring training. But robocop is special enough to me I’d like to give it its time. Any ideas would be appreciated

I saved some money by mounting it on an acrylic rifle wall mount

Out of the many MANY times I've seen and loved this movie since I was little, I've never noticed this before; after Robo kills ED-209 with the Cobra Canon, it's JAMMED

Out of curiosity, did anyone else grow up having a bit of a childhood crush on RoboCop? Or perhaps find themselves strangely captivated by him in ways they couldn't quite explain at the time?

I'm curious whether he was simply an iconic childhood hero for most people, or whether others also found something particularly attractive about his imposing physique, commanding presence, and the man beneath the armor.

Interestingly, the RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop documentary revealed that his design was partly inspired by Hajime Sorayama's Sexy Robot illustrations. The filmmakers actually wanted RoboCop to look sleek and sexy, suggesting that his physical appeal was quite deliberate. I can't help wondering whether that design philosophy played a part in why some find him so captivating.

Was anyone else similarly fascinated by RoboCop growing up, only to realize years later that it might have been more than ordinary admiration?

Good? Bad? Misunderstood? Over-Rated? Under-Rated? What are your thoughts?

The original RoboCop's exposed face makes sense because it's implied to be a synthetic recreation honoring Murphy, with machinery underneath. It gives the cyborg a familiar, human appearance without necessarily compromising protection. In the 2014 remake, that's actual organic tissue exposed to gunfire. Why would you build the ultimate law enforcement/combat cyborg and not give him a full helmet?

holds the record for number of squibs used too. the actor refused to shoot it a second time, they hurt 💥
