Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

vciccarello I absolutely love this movie. It's so entertaining to see RoboCop himself fight against burglars and gangs.

Tony Looks dated now as SFX let alone CGI was in it's infancy in those days. But the story, so futuristic then, seems to be drawing ever closer. We were sold the promise ( lie ?? ) that computers and robotics would make life easier for mankind. Now we're more concerned than ever about who controls what.. Data gathering that would cause outrage if the State or police tried to do it, the idea that Russians could brainwash American voters to choose the candidate they preferred. Sci - Fi now is trying to catch up.

yougottrumpedshow Let's be clear. RoboCop ain't Citizen Kane but that's not what it is supposed to be, it's just a crazy fun, over the top sci-fi action flick. Peter Weller is great as RoboCop, the rest of the cast is also great (his female partner, the scumbag at Omni-Corp as well as his boss the even bigger scumbag, the gangster played by the dad from That 70's Show, even the stop motion robot RoboCop has to fight against.One thing I wasn't expecting was how funny the movie would be. There's a lot of great little satirical skits and jokes. Much of the comedy is very dark but still funny.Be advised this movie was originally X-rated for a reason. A lot of the action is way out there with significant blood and gore factor with body parts blown off, screaming and even a melting or two. Do not let kids watch this movie.

XweAponX What was remarkable about this film, is that it was one of the very last times we had ever seen Ray Harryhausen style stop motion animation used in a feature film. The odd look was because they had to use Rear Projection. This film reflects all of the glory of 70's and 80's practical special effects. Everything we see here is on camera. The Computer displays were all done on Amiga.The ED-209 appears to utilize the top half of a Sennheiser Microphone as a "Radiator Grill", I'd recognize the shape anywhere. Phil Tippet's animation is ingenious, giving unwarranted life to the 209's.What makes this film are the small details, "I'll buy that for a Dollar" (Originally from "The Marching Morons" by CM Kornbluth, which was later the basis for "Idiocracy"), the little News clips, the phoney ads what are not too far fetched. These little bits were used well in the 22-episode TV RoboCop TV show from 1994.And Rob Bottin's brilliant design of the RoboCop "suit". As far as the actors, I didn't know who Peter Weller was. But he was perfect for the role. There is a "good" buisinessman, Miguel Ferrer, contrasted with the Bad Guy Ronny Cox, who Verhoeven also used in Total Recall. Kurtwood Smith and Ray Wise, who always show up in Star Trek things, were over the top crooks. The Kid who drives the van, played by Paul McCrane, was the guy in the X-Files that could walk away after a head-ectomy. In this film, the Old Man of Omni Consumer Products, played by Dan O'Herlihy is a lot more like the kindly old man who owns a company, this changes in the under rated Robocop 2, in which Irvin Kirschner does a good job of imitating Verhoeven's directorial style.Overall, this one film served as a Template that was used in 2 sequels, 2 TV Shows, and one TV Mini Series of various quality. It's great to revisit these, it shows a wholly different way of doing things than what is used today. Also, anachronisms. Many of the things we see in these films, even though they are depicting the future, don't really exist anymore. Cameras that use Film. Computers that use Disks, and even today, Optical disks are not used much, it's all flash drives and SDcards. Telephones. Even Pay Phones, when was the last time you saw a Pay Phone on a street corner? And cars: The huge 6000 SUX, an over the top parody of so many huge Ford cars in the 80's. And we don't even see many of those cars anymore, everything is an SUV now. In some ways, the world was a much simpler place, even in the movies from that time.
