Paul Verhoeven directed Starship Troopers, Robocop and Total Recall. Three certifiable sci-fi classics- darkly cynical satire that illustrate the filmmaker's concerns about a rise of fascism and authoritarianism in the United States and the need for increased accountability for massive corporations and the police. Of course all of this flew over my head when I was a kid. I just thought these movies were dope. 😂
Yo forget what ya heard, forget what ya heard for these real flicks get your whole clique to the curb what whaaat what whaaat Sorry, some hustle bones came out my mouth. I had a college english professor who would argue all day that starship troopers was the best social commentary released in the last 30 years. They really are super funny and pointed critiques of america at the time.
The funniest part of that sequence was when Clarence casually turned on the wipers after he ran over Emil . Makes sense. He needed to see where he was going.
If y'all loved Starship Troopers and Robocop... The director's name is Paul Verhöeven... Y'ALL GOTTA WATCH ANOTHER OF HIS FILMS... TOTAL RECALL!!! 😁 it had an influence on The Matrix starring Schwarzenegger!
The director didn't want her to outshine the lead character of Robocop. So they had her hair cut short and added extra padding to her costume. But she still stood out, because of her beautiful face and natural charm.
To the BENEFIT of the film. It's also woth noting that Verhoeven originally added a romance between murphy and lewis but cut it because he flet it detracted from the emotional and human center that is murphy and also because he felt the audience wouldn't buy a romance between a human woman and a cyborg (different times folks) plus there was the run time to c onsider. SO any romantic tension detected by viewers is most DEFINITELY there.
@@CraigMcfly1985 I also love that when the movie was coming out they arranged a private screening for police officers cuz they were afraid they'd be angry about how they were portrayed but they actually loved it XD
One of my favorite Sci Fi Action Adventure films ever made! Before Peter Weller was cast as RoboCop, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Armand Assante, Michael Ironside, Rutger Hauer, Sylvester Stallone and Tom Berenger were considered for the role. Schwarzenegger turned it down as he thought he might look bulky in the suit. Weller was cast as he has a slimmer frame. Weller lost 3 lbs a day from wearing the suit and couldn't eat any solid food except for Ice cream, oatmeal and yogurt. He would have a protein shake during his lunch period. It was 110 degrees in Dallas Texas where they were filming and the special effects team put an air conditioner in the suit to prevent Weller from passing out. The stop motion animation effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippett, whom did VFX work for Star Wars, Dragonslayer, RoboCop 2 and 3, JURASSIC PARK, and Starship Troopers. His company, Tippett Studio, also did VFX work for The Twilight Saga, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Cloverfield. The film was a box office success, making $60 million dollars against a $13 million dollar budget. It won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing.
@Shaine White I tend to agree with you ( On it being one of the greatest Sci-Fi action films of all Time!) but I give a slight edge to Predator! Also DragonSlayer is Dope 🔥 and One of my favorite movies of all Time! 😎

They kept the "face" to help him keep his sanity. Murphy is basically a brain in a jar. So he could easily go insane with something to humanize himself. It's something they expanded on in the sequel.

I think that was one of my favorite reactions of yours to when Emil got mutated by the toxic chemicals. That was so over the top gruesome. Scarred me as a kid. I saw this in the theater at like six years old. Everyone thought it looked a kid's movie from the previews! We got a life lesson that day..
Lol same here. I saw this on opening day with my dad and grandmother. I asked my grandma if it was too much for her and she laughed and reminded me that she was a trauma nurse during WW2.
Lol yep, my sister took me to see it and made me close my eyes when they were torturing Murphy. When they shot off his arm she grabbed me and walked out. I was seven. I got to watch it when it came out on VHS and HBO
When "Robocop" was first released, I assumed, that it was a kid's movie too. Pretty much not a "meant for kids movie", but kids & adults loved it none the less. One of the all time great movies imo.
You guys really are the cutest couple ever. You anxiously smile at each other when you anticipate the other will be self-conscious or distressed. You both really care about each other it's obvious.
The Robocop fall used a puppet that was modeled in correct proportions but due to the small studio space, they couldn’t raise the camera very high and they were using a wide angle lens to create the height/vertigo effect, which warped the image of the arms. To fix this, they would have either had to reshoot it in a bigger studio with a greater distance between the camera and the puppet or built the puppet with shorter arms to allow for the distortion.
The medical team trying to save Murphy sound very realistic for a good reason - they *are* a real medical staff. The director wanted the scene to be genuine so he paid an off-duty ER team to come in and treat him like they would a real gunshot victim.
Good reaction, guys. Btw, the same director who made Starship Troopers in the late 1990s, made Robocop over 10 years earlier in 1987. Also, although the movie is from 1987, it was based on 4 years in the future (1991).
I find it amazing that I watched this as a kid and I wasn't traumatized by the guy being washed in toxic waste. Side note, not only did that have Robocop as a guest in Mortal Kombat 11, they also got the original actor, Peter Weller, to voice him. So many references made with him on screen and I love it.
The idea behind keeping his face was that because he is human, if he were to look in a mirror and see a robot face staring back, he would go insane. So they kept his face and applied it to a metal skull. His face, eyes, and most of his brain are all that is left of Murphy. Everything else is cybernetic.
@@romulus_ Nope, 'total body prosthesis'. Plus in the third movie he even gets a replacement mechanical heart, and in the second movie you pretty much get to see he has no intestines or lungs.
Please, watch Alien (1.979), The Wizard of Oz (1.939), Raiders of The Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, The Goonies, Back to The Future, Ghostbusters, Poltergeist (1.982), E.T., Beverly Hills Cop...
I love how you both were unsure of the film at first but then when the boardroom scene happened you both realized what you were watching and from that point on you were hooked! It proves to me that the ultra-violence really helped make this movie work and without it you can’t be as invested. You both said it when you say it’s a classic, and that last line of dialogue really solidifies that. Really happy after 36 years this film is still palpable and resonates with younger and younger generations. I grew up in a world where I already knew all the beats of this movie before seeing it. Seeing you both watch it must’ve been similarly to audience reaction in the summer of 1987. Side: Starship Troopers was made by almost the same entire creative team as Robocop. Writer, Director, Producers, VFX. I consider this an unofficial trilogy in this order: 1)Robocop, 2)Total Recall, 3) Starship Troopers. All movies being tired together by similar themes.
You guys make me smile! Wifey seems happy. You have my love and support. A niche movie for sure, but I watched it all because of your reaction and interaction.
If you're interested, Brandon Herrera has done a whole video dedicated to the Pausa P50, but believe me, you weren't the first one to think "Barrett .50". Hope this helps and Brandon's video is a fun one😊
This is largely a social commentary piece on the excesses of the 80s mixed with the morbid certainty that the Cold War would end in nuclear holocaust. Keep that in mind
I remember watching this for the first time when I was 16. It was late Christmas night and I was watching it on the dvd player on my laptop. I fell in love with it immediately.
That Cobra rifle was based off a Barret .50, You can fire them from the shoulder and how they did in the movie but you wouldn't really be accurate. Those things are heavy as shit since they weigh around 30 pounds which also helps with recoil. We got to play with some when I was still active duty and they're really fun
Some reactors feel bad laughing at Kenny's death scene, in fact when the film was test screened multiple times to remove the X rating, the director was confused that the audience would laugh every time that scene came up.
It's a movie about regaining your humanity.. Listen to Murphy's voice in the beginning and at the end.. Less and less electronic or processed as he gets back more of who he was.. (or maybe who he is now.)
Once I saw the title i thought 'ohno she's gunna find out our guy Vince' got 'henchman' laugh' lol. That reassuring hug when he Called it out towards the end are why you guys are one of my fav couples to watch that do this. Always wishing you two the best.
I absolutely LOVED this movie as a child...not realizing how absolutely F****D up of a movie this was for a child to see at the time... 💙From Detroit P.S. If you thought Red Forman was grumpy in That 70's Show...
So was my older bro and myself have seen it on tv in da 90's and again on VHS, didn't seen that version until 07 when they released it on the 20th anniversary DVD.
One of the best Sci-fi action movies of the 80s. I saw it at the cinema, and every time I pass the theater I saw it in, it reminds me of the movie, but also the fact that it was one of the only movies I ever saw at that particular cinema, which is still open, now a "Cinema Cafe", or you may know them as dine-in style movie theaters.
Verhoeven and Cronenberg are the only directors (or, at least, the only ones with several movies with mainstream success) who unblinkingly depict the gory and destructive consequences of violence. No cutaways. Violence maims, deforms, amputates, eviscerates, & the camera does not look away
The scene with the robot opening fire on the board room was inspired by the reveal of the M247 York Self-Propelled-Anti-Air (tank that shoots planes). This was one of the first anti air guns to feature a self-targeting system powered by a massive rotating radar dish above the twin canons on the turret. Thrilled it's performance, the army showed it to the top brass, contractors and investors and planned to showcase the new computer targeting system. However, when they fired up the targeting computer, the twin 40mm auto-canons on the turret immediately swiveled to target the grandstands.... where all those present were watching from. Luckily no one died from the panic, and the while the system was automatic, it still required the gunner to fire after each lock was achieved so the only reported injuries came from the mad dash to get out of the line of fire. XD
I got a chance to meet Peter Weller at a comic con and told him my dad saw robocop in theatres when it 1st came out he was 14 and his grandmother took him to see it he laughed when i said she didn't like the violence in the movie very much lol he also signed my robocop bluray
This does not only have Paul Verhoeven, the same director as Starship Troopers, both movies had the same writing duo of Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. And Rob Bottin did mechanical and animatronic effects for both and stop motion animator Rob Bottin and his team, who made ED-209's stop motion, also animated the CGI bugs in Starship Troopers. So if the movies seem
I knew you would notice the laugh similarity. However, I think a key difference is that it doesn’t have the malice behind it when you do it. To quote Emil “I LIKE IT!” 😆
Folks have already commented about Director Verhoeven, but another similarity is that the music of both Robocop and Starship troopers was composed by Basil Pouledoris (I might have the spelling wrong). I don't think he did Total Recall, unfortunately, but he was also the guy who scored Conan The Barbarian if you ever have an interest in that one.
Vince my guy! Your laugh is nowhere near as soul crushing as that dudes. Yours is wholesome and fun as you know you’re really enjoying yourself. His laugh is beyond fake and is cancer inducing. Never have I once thought yours was off in any way. Keep being you my guy and love the channel!
And of course, you may recognize the actor who played the exec in charge of the Robocop program (Bob Morton); he played the Vice President in Iron Man 3.
@ 29:20, something like this is currently going down in Haiti, unfortunately. A point is reached where a police officer literally does not get paid enough to go arrest a violent offender who'll likely be released by a self-victimizing DA the next day. It's quite demoralizing. This is why places like El Salvador have citizen machete justice and it does not go well for the perp. Americans' ability to control their political views, emotions, desires and self-serving sense of self-importance will keep this from happening here, but every other country seems to be failing the trial. Selflessness and gratitude keeps the chaos away, but who's teaching those virtues anymore?
The E.D 209 SCENE WHERE KENNY GETS SHOT UP WAS THE INSPIRATION OF KENNY FROM SOUTH PARK.... So every time This scene comes up, audiences say the line "HAY THEY KILLED KENNY!!! THOSE BASTARDS!!"
There are THREE satirical action SciFi movies made by Paul Verhoeven: - Robocop (1987) - Total Recall (1990) - Starship Troopers (1997) Please continue with your journey to watch them all three.
Ha Ha - Nice! "Awesome reactions" - I really enjoyed you guys dialogue here. Robocop is a great film (a true classic). I never miss an opportunity to watch this cool sci-fi film (and you guys made the experience a lot of fun - Thanks).

Also helps with public relationships i guess.

Verhoeven and Cronenberg are the only directors (or, at least, the only ones with several movies with mainstream success) who unblinkingly depict the gory and destructive consequences of violence. No cutaways. Violence maims, deforms, amputates, eviscerates, & the camera does not look away
Can't forget DePalma Jack.
"Can you flyyy bobby"?
This movie is why Gen X is hardcore... we had toys and cartoons of this shit!
7:45 you guys faces was on point. As a kid murphys death scene traumatized me.
The scene with the robot opening fire on the board room was inspired by the reveal of the M247 York Self-Propelled-Anti-Air (tank that shoots planes).
This was one of the first anti air guns to feature a self-targeting system powered by a massive rotating radar dish above the twin canons on the turret.
Thrilled it's performance, the army showed it to the top brass, contractors and investors and planned to showcase the new computer targeting system. However, when they fired up the targeting computer, the twin 40mm auto-canons on the turret immediately swiveled to target the grandstands.... where all those present were watching from.
Luckily no one died from the panic, and the while the system was automatic, it still required the gunner to fire after each lock was achieved so the only reported injuries came from the mad dash to get out of the line of fire. XD
Lmao...that guy was liquified! Lol
I got a chance to meet Peter Weller at a comic con and told him my dad saw robocop in theatres when it 1st came out he was 14 and his grandmother took him to see it he laughed when i said she didn't like the violence in the movie very much lol he also signed my robocop bluray
fun fact know how in south park every episode they say oh my god they killed kenny well in robo cop the first to get killed by ED209 is kenny
An interesting fact: peter weller and nancy allen share the same birthday.
This does not only have Paul Verhoeven, the same director as Starship Troopers, both movies had the same writing duo of Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. And Rob Bottin did mechanical and animatronic effects for both and stop motion animator Rob Bottin and his team, who made ED-209's stop motion, also animated the CGI bugs in Starship Troopers.
So if the movies seem
Robocop (1987) classic masterpiece Sci fi movie
The laugh is great! 🤣
I knew you would notice the laugh similarity. However, I think a key difference is that it doesn’t have the malice behind it when you do it. To quote Emil “I LIKE IT!” 😆
Folks have already commented about Director Verhoeven, but another similarity is that the music of both Robocop and Starship troopers was composed by Basil Pouledoris (I might have the spelling wrong). I don't think he did Total Recall, unfortunately, but he was also the guy who scored Conan The Barbarian if you ever have an interest in that one.
The re-quel we didn't know we needed "She's a robocop too"
Vince my guy! Your laugh is nowhere near as soul crushing as that dudes. Yours is wholesome and fun as you know you’re really enjoying yourself. His laugh is beyond fake and is cancer inducing. Never have I once thought yours was off in any way. Keep being you my guy and love the channel!
So many great special effects in this film, wouldn’t be the same if made today with CGI
And of course, you may recognize the actor who played the exec in charge of the Robocop program (Bob Morton); he played the Vice President in Iron Man 3.
Late great Miguel Ferrer, George Clooney cuz!
Vince, your laugh is fine man! It's not nearly as bad as you think! Lol, don't worry about it so much, it's just apart of what makes you... you.
As soon as I heard Vince laugh in the beginning, I was dying to see how he'd react to the laugh from Joe.
Welcome to the cinema of Paul Verhoeven
For more details on the Robocop character look at The Robocop Wiki. By the way, Officer Anne Lewis was not made into a cyborg.
“Can we stop giving him screen time?”
The first time I saw you guys react to things, I was like "this dude was in Robocop". We have gone full circle.
@ 29:20, something like this is currently going down in Haiti, unfortunately. A point is reached where a police officer literally does not get paid enough to go arrest a violent offender who'll likely be released by a self-victimizing DA the next day.
It's quite demoralizing. This is why places like El Salvador have citizen machete justice and it does not go well for the perp.
Americans' ability to control their political views, emotions, desires and self-serving sense of self-importance will keep this from happening here, but every other country seems to be failing the trial.
Selflessness and gratitude keeps the chaos away, but who's teaching those virtues anymore?
I remember when I was a kid and the scene with the guy covered in toxic waste, I was a kid eating Corn Pops… I will never eat corn pops again😂
Can't beat the classics 💪💪
Facts!!!
Hahaha y'all kept bringing up Starship Troopers lmao... you have a new subscriber can't wait to watch more movies with you guys
The E.D 209 SCENE WHERE KENNY GETS SHOT UP WAS THE INSPIRATION OF KENNY FROM SOUTH PARK.... So every time This scene comes up, audiences say the line "HAY THEY KILLED KENNY!!! THOSE BASTARDS!!"
One of my all time favorites. I dressed up like him for Halloween when I was like 7. I had some cool parents!!!!
Nothing beats the rawness of 80s and 90s movies, something you don't get today, the satire is still relevant today
I’m subscribing halfway through the reaction. You guys keep it real. Love the vibe.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
There are THREE satirical action SciFi movies made by Paul Verhoeven:
