Paul VerHoeven man, what a director. He has basically the same scene in a ten minute window - a guy gets shot into minced meat - and have the one be absolutely hilarious and the other horrifying and nauseating. Thats some skillful filmmaking
Instead of running frantically around the room I would have gotten out of the room as fast as I could of that's why I don't understand why Mr Kenny didnt try to get away from ed-209 targeting range
I wonder if the ED-209's visual sensors didn't "see" him dropping the gun because he threw it on the floor. Maybe if he had placed it on the floor slowly, the situation would've turned out different.
Robocop was truly a brutal movie with the deaths back in the day but you can't replicate that no matter what the future brings this movie was truly great.
So is total recall, the point is that in these worlds where corporations rule everything, human life is so worthless that they are depicted as objects that can be annihilated without the characters thinking much about it, it’s subtle-not-so-subtle world building by example.
I love the fact that ED-209’s inefficiency is further highlighted symbolically by having Mr Kenny’s body land and bleed all over the model of the new city they’re trying to build with this droid in mind.
it's clunky, buggy, like it can turn on you just as it can turn on anyone. it's a safety hazard to everything around it, times 10. all adds to its charms.

At that time, I was watching videos. I was Chinese. This is the best robot movie I have ever watched in the United States. Thank you America, you gave me a wonderful childhood!
America brought us Westerns, gun movies, gangsters and Robocop ! China brought us Kung-Fu fighting movies and flying Karate Japan brought us anime and crazy gameshows The French brought us spy trillers with plenty of sexualisation I know the above list is only a fraction and plenty of those things are cross-pollenated across cultures but it makes one realise just how good this planet is and could be if we could just stop the crazies always wanting war and just get on with making movies and telling our stories
For such a movie in the 1980's, it was truely shocking!.. I remember as a kid growing up back then, I was transfixed by the sheer BRUTALITY of the manner of deaths of the characters, including that of Murphy.. Looking back at it now - whenever I see Peter Weller alive and well, it still brings a sigh of relief!.. 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I was growing up then too. When they shot murphy over and over I was al empathetic and it stuck with me. Must have been my age but it was torturous af how they did him
@@TruthTV8556 actually, the brutality of Murphy’s death is very much essential! The director explained that because we as viewers don’t get much screentime with Murphy before he dies, they needed to create empathy for his character with a terrible death. The fact that we are still taking about it 40 years later, makes me think they succeeded! Everyone is cheering for Robocop’s journey of redemption because of this scene. It’s also a good indication why the remake failed, because that version of Alex Murphy is basically just a disabled man in a mechanical suit.
I think the scene in this clip is a director's cut addition with - incredibly - extra violence - the part where it tracks up his legs and keeps shooting long after he's obviously dead.
This is such an amazing scene. You learn so much and you probably didn't even realise. We learn functional robots exist but they're "glitchy", we learn ED209 is a fierce threat even to Robocop (which pays off later when they fight) and we get all kinds of commentary and satire regarding 1980s corporate and American film culture.

It looks better to me. CGI, the object is not actually there. This was an actual model physically present in front people. Robocop was fighting something that was actually there. It adds to realism.
@@dbsti3006 Exactly - just like they point out in the abridged script of The Phantom Menace... JAR JAR Who might you be? LIAM NEESON (staring in the general direction of Jar Jar, but not really staring at him) I am a Jedi. There are bad things coming. Take me to your homeland.
@@dbsti3006No wait, no actual size model was present in the room, this is a small model animated in stop motion and superimposed visually via green screen.
As an adult the amount of blood and meat chunks flying is nearly too much to handle. Hard to believe I watched this movie on VHS many times as a young kid.
The lion(?) growl ED-209 makes when he gives his second warning at 1:38 makes perfect sense as a psychological weapon, triggering a primal fear in a human. Kind of like how the main weapon of a tank is the psychological fear it brings. Plus, that growl is really f***ing cool!
What you do is you tell him not to watch it and that he'll get into big trouble if he does. Of course, now that it's taboo, he's going to want to watch it even more. And then when you catch him watching it behind your back, you feign anger and disappointment and give him a warning or some slap on the wrist non-punishment or something like that.
I'd say now is a good age for this film, You shop lift and this could happen. You can also get him to check out predator and say it's always looking out for bad people... Keep a red lazer pointer to hand and maybe shine through a window... "It's always watching so be a good boy" Don't want your kid playing near water, I'd reccomend Piranha.
There's a part of me that wishes Darren Aronofsky had been able to make his remake of Robocop, just to see what it would have looked like.. but you really can't properly remake this movie. It was just too special.🍺
@@tehf00n so true with the pseudo existential crap. But there's an audience that loves to feel special even though the art house plotlines are the least technically sound.
Why bring a fully armed military weapon for field testing in the security and calmness of an office this scene is conceived to create fear through contradiction. Logically speaking its ultimately foolish as an idea but it works! The last thing anyone wouldve imagine to come through that door was a beastly robot armed with loaded 50cals ....Genius verhoeven! well played!
The old man was probably more upset at the money lost on this. The ED209 being a failure and wasted money, the money they will have to give to Mr. Kinney's family to avoid a lawsuit, the Delta City project is delayed which would add more costs etc etc.
Robocop, total recall, Starship troopers all of them have this very dark sense of humor, they are so unique in their sarcastic nature and constantt desdain for life. I love them.
I didn't realize how funny this movie was as a kid. Yes, this scene is brutal, but "I am now authorized to use physical force" then right after he just unloads a flood of bullets 😂😂 Cracks me up every time.
Wonder what would’ve happened if the guy just gently bent down & carefully placed the gun on the floor instead of just throwing it away. Wasn’t exactly “putting down the weapon” even if it still means he’s not in possession of it. But really, it was whoever thought that letting the ED-209 have live rounds for a simple Board Meeting demonstration that was really at fault. “Glitch” or not.
Paul Verhoven in 1987: Look at this nightmarish vision of the future with police killdroids San Francisco 2022: No honey, it’s pronounced “Police robots authorised to use lethal force”
Kenny was like : "if I had to die, Imma bring all these people down with me cause the concept of simply running away from that room doesn't exist in my brain"
I remember watching this as a kid and when Johnson was yelling "Don't touch him!" I thought he was talking about ED 209 and he was worried it might wake up again😄
The thing that always struck me about this scene wasn't the defective machine that murders the man, but the corporate leadership operating exactly as intended.

It looks better to me. CGI, the object is not actually there. This was an actual model physically present in front people. Robocop was fighting something that was actually there. It adds to realism.
I'll buy that for a dollar
@@Akira282 Lol. That never gets old.
@@dbsti3006 Exactly - just like they point out in the abridged script of The Phantom Menace...
JAR JAR
Who might you be?
LIAM NEESON
(staring in the general direction of Jar Jar, but not really staring at him)
I am a Jedi. There are bad things coming. Take me to your homeland.
@@dbsti3006No wait, no actual size model was present in the room, this is a small model animated in stop motion and superimposed visually via green screen.
As an adult the amount of blood and meat chunks flying is nearly too much to handle. Hard to believe I watched this movie on VHS many times as a young kid.
The lion(?) growl ED-209 makes when he gives his second warning at 1:38 makes perfect sense as a psychological weapon, triggering a primal fear in a human. Kind of like how the main weapon of a tank is the psychological fear it brings.
Plus, that growl is really f***ing cool!
That's the idea of the growl I do believe, an intimidation feature
It’s not a lion, it’s a tiger. Most “lion” growls in movies are from tigers. A real lion growl sounds awful.
When my boy's old enough (he's only 5), I can't wait to sit down and watch all the 80's classics with him
I saw Robocop when it was released on VHS at age 7, it's one of the great memories of my childhood, no joke
What you do is you tell him not to watch it and that he'll get into big trouble if he does. Of course, now that it's taboo, he's going to want to watch it even more. And then when you catch him watching it behind your back, you feign anger and disappointment and give him a warning or some slap on the wrist non-punishment or something like that.
Don't forget the Thing and The Terminator
Крутая идея!
I'd say now is a good age for this film, You shop lift and this could happen.
You can also get him to check out predator and say it's always looking out for bad people... Keep a red lazer pointer to hand and maybe shine through a window... "It's always watching so be a good boy"
Don't want your kid playing near water, I'd reccomend Piranha.
The director sure knew how to make this scene as scary as possible.
1:53
You can see the old man calmly assuming the pose he's in after all the excitement is over.
There's a part of me that wishes Darren Aronofsky had been able to make his remake of Robocop, just to see what it would have looked like.. but you really can't properly remake this movie. It was just too special.🍺
if he remade it you would have had some existential bullshit corroding the story no doubt. I like his movies but he over-does everything.
@@tehf00n so true with the pseudo existential crap. But there's an audience that loves to feel special even though the art house plotlines are the least technically sound.
@@tehf00n they should've waited until 2017, 30 years after the original film's release. That's just me, and my opinion.
Darren is an awesome director. His talents would be wasted on a Robocop remake. Not his genre anyways.
@@teddymills1 Not near the point, but ok.
Why bring a fully armed military weapon for field testing in the security and calmness of an office this scene is conceived to create fear through contradiction. Logically speaking its ultimately foolish as an idea but it works! The last thing anyone wouldve imagine to come through that door was a beastly robot armed with loaded 50cals ....Genius verhoeven! well played!
When you think about it, they regained their composure pretty quickly after seeing a man shredded to death.
They’re probably more upset about the monetary cost of the ‘glitch’ lol
Those characters are as "human" as the people in Wall Street or in Western gvt.
Capitalism grieves for no one.
Life in da big city
The old man was probably more upset at the money lost on this. The ED209 being a failure and wasted money, the money they will have to give to Mr. Kinney's family to avoid a lawsuit, the Delta City project is delayed which would add more costs etc etc.
ED 209. Everytime I saw the black part of a microphone, I thought of this scene LOL
"You call this a glitch?"
"It's a feature."
This scene scared the sh** out of when I was a kid! 😅 Now I know why they always kept the 18+ videos on the top shelf 😅😅😅😅
Yeh me too especially the part where ed 209 sounds like an animal 😩😩😩🤣
Damn, those practical effects are great. I love the squibs.
Shame they don't make movies like these anymore.
80s was the golden era of hollywood
Ed-209: Please put down your weapon.
1:27
You have 20 Seconds to comply.
Movie time
I think you better do what he says Mr. Kenny
*the wespon*
Mr. Kenny should get a promotion for his dedication and service to the company.
And have a " Pizza Party " too...
And a posthumous plaque in OCP's lobby
@@santiagomedinas266 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Robocop, total recall, Starship troopers all of them have this very dark sense of humor, they are so unique in their sarcastic nature and constantt desdain for life. I love them.
The Verhoeven Trilogy, they're all fantastic
_"Urban Pacification."_
It's scary how close we're really getting to that, especially with a militarized police force.
I fell like we are already there
In Western "democracies", Yes... 😣
They have unmanned drones that are programmed to make decisions on when to attack. We're there
2:28 the last thing you wanna *HEAR*👂🏽 Is this! 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That rhythmic sound it makes while walking is forever burned in my memory.
I didn't realize how funny this movie was as a kid. Yes, this scene is brutal, but "I am now authorized to use physical force" then right after he just unloads a flood of bullets 😂😂 Cracks me up every time.
The robot made sure Kenny's rights were respected before turn him into dog food :D
When movies were super legendary lol.
They made sure to use live ammo for this demonstration.
Wonder what would’ve happened if the guy just gently bent down & carefully placed the gun on the floor instead of just throwing it away. Wasn’t exactly “putting down the weapon” even if it still means he’s not in possession of it.
But really, it was whoever thought that letting the ED-209 have live rounds for a simple Board Meeting demonstration that was really at fault. “Glitch” or not.
Its a film bro 😂
I believe the outcome would of been the same. Maybe if he put his hands up. It would of gone better? I dunno.
2:43 When you're trying to have a fun time before you go to sleep, but your fireman won't cooperate.
Best bullet proof window demonstration ever!
If there ever is a movie scene that always cheers me up whenever I'm feeling down, THIS is it.
I specifically came to UA-cam to look this scene up because it is hysterical. 😂
And it’s not even a crime until he points the gun at the robot. Some enforcement droid.
Paul Verhoven in 1987: Look at this nightmarish vision of the future with police killdroids
San Francisco 2022: No honey, it’s pronounced “Police robots authorised to use lethal force”
Robo-American, please.
@@definitelynotanAIchatbot Autonomous American
Kenny was like : "if I had to die, Imma bring all these people down with me cause the concept of simply running away from that room doesn't exist in my brain"
I remember watching this as a kid and when Johnson was yelling "Don't touch him!" I thought he was talking about ED 209 and he was worried it might wake up again😄
Ah the single most traumatic memory from my 8th year of life. I love you ed 209.
This was a great scene, everyone remembers ED209 even if they dont remember its name
80’s and 90’s movies were next level man and they were pumping them out every week.
The windows and table and model are still fine lmao!!!!
Let's make a demonstration of new bleeding edge technology.
Fully loaded!
One of my favorite movies. but this movie NO DOUBT scarred my childhood as one of the most violent, gory movies of all time.
The thing that always struck me about this scene wasn't the defective machine that murders the man, but the corporate leadership operating exactly as intended.
The stop motion effect makes it so much more creepier
San Francisco police have requested robots that can use deadly force. I'm sure that'll work out great because, as we all know, AI never messes up....
Ikr, bad idea! Very bad! They could malfuntion in the blink of an eye.
Put down your hammer, you have 20 seconds to comply…
this is a movie btw not real life evidence
Well, you have self-driving Teslas that potentially endanger - and sometimes take - human lives. So, what's the difference?
I love how they all pushed that poor man to his death.
The sound design really captues the walking nightmare called the ED209.
This is still remains my favourite ever movie. Back then, I saw it as quite serious but looking back on it, it is actually, in parts quite satirical.
No its 100% satirical. Just like Starship Troopers. All these movies are just satirical critiques of American culture
@@GABuckeye37 Read the books, Starship Troopers.
Many of Verhoeven's movies are critics of Western society.
