@@LextheRobotThat's so weird. I swear to god I remember that being a easter egg in the movie. Maybe this clip is missing just like 2 seconds or a few frames etc. where it appears because I swear I have vivid memories of the first time I noticed that one.
He's still a cop. Not just a cop who was gunned down in the line of duty, and came back as a cyborg. Is RoboCop, but still parts of him are Alex Murphy, even though earlier on in the film, he told his former wife her husband was dead.
Well, he kind of had to, even if he was just Alex Murphy, as opposed to RoboCop. It's almost the "human factor", so to speak!. The 4th directive, Never opposed an OCP officer, was added to RoboCops' psychological profile. Arrest one and it results in shutdown. It was deleted in RoboCop 3 by Dr. Lazarus after he took an OCP Rehabilitator grenade to the chest, while Officer Lewis was mortally wounded by gunfire.
@@christytauler5672no. When Lewis was gunned down, all Murphy could do was run because Directive 4 was still in his system. It was only until the squatters who saved him found Lazarus that she was able to get the Directive out and he began hunting Rehab and OCP
Directives 1-3 get lightly enforced a couple of times in the first movie, but to be fair on at least one of those occasions he's literally got his hand around his murderers throat.
2:01 It's actually heart touching to see them step on the signs of their manifestation, putting aside the difference they have with the few cops that are still on duty.
Funny thing is, while that’s a fair point - the collection of all of the other nonsense that we see on display up to this point in Murphy is effectively today’s woke activist.
That's what I love about Peter Weller's performance here. With simple expressions and body language, he managed to make us feel Robocop's frustrations reach their boiling point with these new Prime Directives and the desperation to do whatever it took to remedy the situation, even risking permanent deactivation.
It's not like he had anything to lose. If it works, he'll be free of all those junk directives and able to do his job. If it doesn't, he'd die and be free of being the ghost of a man.

@@OhNotThat Yes but it was NOWHERE near what it is today where they think that it's women who should be first and above men while getting everything on a silver platter, it was more of a "You put your mind to it and you can succeed just as well or do BETTER than who you're working with" kind of deal.
Murphy getting up and saying "Fine I'll do it myself" to fixing himself is just the perfect way of saying who he is. Murphy will always do what is necessary.
DIRECTIVE 247: Don't run through puddles and splash pedestrians or other cars. DIRECTIVE 248: Don't say that you are always prompt when you are not. DIRECTIVE 249: Don't be oversensitive to the hostility and negativity of others. DIRECTIVE 250: Don't walk across a ballroom floor swinging your arms.
I don't know about that. The rest of the Police seem to at least respect him, but they dropped their protest and rushed over to help him, treading all over their signs without thought to get him safely inside. That's symbolic of something.
@@CaptainGlack its like oh shit he snapped under the pressure!! He cant handle it anymore. The cops see him as a person, not a machine. To see their brightest and strongest fall, is a great deal to them. Hes a cop like them, to see him do that they must have thought he tried to commit suicide from the greed of the corpos and he just gave up fighting.
Can’t help but love that he basically charged to electrocute himself the millisecond he heard it was an option. He’d rather die than keep living that way. Hard to believe a “don’t play with electrical circuitry” directive or something wasn’t in there
Directive 238: Avoid Destructive Behaviour This scene has more weight if you realise that Murphy is either exploiting a loophole in the directives or using his willpower to power through breaking them. With the amount of directives it is more than likely many of them conflict or have been weighted badly so that it makes a mess. I.E The scene where he pulls a weapon on a smoker and shoots around them.
What I don't get is why he got the starter directives (including the no killing of OCP officers) back in the third movie. He's shown he was perfectly capable of being a good cop without them, they only seem hinder his abilities... :\
yeah the next scene is a street vendor selling hotdogs. he hears the sirens and says " here comes the cops!" customer: cops are on strike man. Detroit police: we're back! vendor: they about to kick somebody's ASS!
Yes, to them he will always be Alex J. Murphy. Even though technically Alex J Murphy is dead at least according to the database that his information was in. I think if his creator Bob Morton were still alive he would have had a conniption fit over the stuff that Dr Juliet Faxx put into him.

I always loved the scene right after this where it shows dozens of cop cars heading for Cain's warehouse and that hot-dog vendor guy says "They goin' to kick sombody's @$$!"
Gotta love that part where they just walk over their own picket signs. It finally hit them that all of this was happening cause he was trying to do their job all on his own.
They weren't wrong for protesting, though. OCP was marginalizing the human police force, lessening their pay and forcibly privatizing them to serve their own corporate ends........all while ultimately devising to replace them all with more obedient robots. Robocop, without meaning to, represented everything they were protesting against. That's what makes it so powerful that, when he needed their help, they threw the signs on the ground and walked over them to carry him. Because they still see that he's one of them.
@@KniGhTKrawLeR9 You make for a good point there. One interesting thing about this film is that they tried replicating what was done to Murphy to others. Only to have the poor officers used go insane and kill themselves. Murphy I wanna say was a special case.
@@JaguarCatsIt was also because of one factor, that they likely didn't realize that Murphy was able to get used to his body thanks to being memory bleached. The other unlucky officers were either not memory bleached, or the technique was botched... So they went insane or became suicidal. Of course, part of the reason was due to Dick Jones killing everyone who worked on the project, and destroyed all the files and plans, so OCP were unable to replicate the process as Dick Jones screwed them over, just to push for his ineffective Ed-209 units which looked more like combat mechs than The Urban Law enforcement units they were supposedly built to be.
@@Victor-056 In the original scripts, it's meant to be that the reason he didn't got insane, aside from his incredible willpower, was that his face remained. The theory in the script was that if even the slightest part of his human psyche survived and saw nothing of the original left, it would kill him, hence why when the other three Robos seen have no faces, they either immediately kill themselves or go completely out of control. Obviously that isn't stated in the films, but it's still cool context
A mostly overlooked part about this entire scene, is that when Robocop was downed, _All of the Officers_ that had been previously protesting _Immediately_ Rushed over and discarded their signs. This is a Big scene, and likely a Callback, because in Robocop 1, These Officers only went on Strike _After_ Murphy was attacked by the DPD officers that Dick Jones called over, implying that after they were made to attack their own, they decided enough was enough and went on Strike against OCP. And since they consider Murphy "One of their Own", the moment he electrocuted himself, they rushed over to help, regardless of their displeasure at OCP.
@@jeager1999 Not really. The prop was made out of a Krups Coffina 223 Coffee Grinder, attached to the outer shell of a Singer magnetic disc memory core. However, the Mr. Coffee reference is correct in regards to the inspiration for the Mr. Fusion brand.
@@Tyreece190 well the first movie mentioned that robocop eat some sort of baby food to maintain his biology system. It is also easily digested. That.....just give me idea to create.....a baby food tasted donut.
bingo, without even realizing it you've stumbled into the LARGER world of Clinical Psychology/Behavioral Science (ie. the Skinner Rat and Pavlovian Dog experiments). but "shhhh" let's keep this between us, don't tell anybody.
I think it was because robo wanted to get rid of all that s*** that Dr. Faxx put into him I'm sure they were able to just reprogram his basic three ,excuse me ,four main directives.
Ironic Injoke as the writers hated the Orion Pictures Board of Directors messing around with the story for Robocop 2, the writers would send a draft for the movie, then numerous meetings were held to change various parts of the story they weren't happy with... irony.. 3 years later Orion Pictures went bankrupt after "meetings"
After frying himself the human side of Murphy must have felt warmed coming back online to see his fellow cops all carrying him and showing they're treating him like a fellow human; he grins.
this is actually one of my favorite scenes in robocop 2. since it shows that despite what happened to murphy the entire police force puts aside their protest to help him, and unlike the idiots in ocp who treat him as nothing more than a machine. everyone in the station see's robocop as one of them.
I like when Murphy after rebootin' himself, he round up all his fellow officers and went ta hunt Cain down. Fellow Officer: "What's fuckin' ya Murphy?" Murphy: "CAIN!! CAIN'S FUCKIN' ME!!!!"
Yeah and he f***** up Cain pretty badly you could just say it was revenge though and I will say this if Dr Faxx had not tried to use his brain to create RoboCop 2 I don't think that Cain would have survived.
Next Scene : "WHoaW! You know they are going to kick someones ass!" Loved Robocop 2 alot, almost as good as the original. They really did a good job holding the theme the first movie made. Just like with the first one, if I catch this on TV I have to watch it lol. Thx for upload!
Part 2 was a good popcorn flick in a way, and a very good (though far from great like the first one was) movie over all. Three on the other hand was such a disaster, even if it had it's moments though, but still. The remake wasn't exactly much better, and was totally forgettable too.
@@MineCraftrules17 As a standalone movie, it maybe wasn't so bad. But the fact of the matter was that it was RoboCop, and was a huge letdown in the end. Hopefully the upcoming RoboCop Returns movie will at least be decent, and is supposed to be the true sequel to the original film as well.
When you watch this the first time, you think Robo's gone crazy or is suicidal. But the second time, you notice as soon as the lady scientist talks about running a few thousand volts through him, he gets up and grabs the breaker box. He was listening the the scientists the whole time, and finally heard a plan where he could do something.
And that's probably one of the reasons Murphy never tried to kill himself after he was cyborged. He was a good practicing Catholic when he was a normal human being, before what happened to him because according to the Catholic church at that time, suicide is a mortal sin or at least it was back then, you die with a mortal sin on your soul you burn in hell.
It's in this scene Murphy became exactly like those failed RoboCop 2 prototypes: He'd rather kill himself than be a robot. There's no way he knew he'd survive but he was willing to take the risk, probably because he didn't give a fuck about dying or going after Cain again.
Murphy must be a millennial... Engineer - "Well, if he shocked himself it might erase the programming that's suppressing him. The process might kill him though..." Robocop - *_"I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!!"_*
The first movie was about the excesses of capitalism and corporatism. The second was about the excesses of liberalism or at least as it may be applied in government. There is a happy medium in there, somewhere, but not necessarily centrism. Just humanism with some practicality. Also, Tzi Ma has a great agent. He's a scientist, a consul that gets promoted to ambassador, teacher, doctor, cop, etc.
There's a lot of accuracy in this movie to today's times. Even all the ridiculous directives to comply with all the PC requests to be nonviolent and so on. (Most of this was done because of the backlash the first movie got for its violence) Cops being unappreciated and a city ran by corporations with privatized police forces (what's about to happen in Minneapolis). It gets a lot right.
@@shadowproductions969 It also kind of aggravates the problem, with the recurring sentiment of "PC bleeding hearts = bad, unrestrained, violent law enforcement = good!" You could make a case that robocop, and frank miller, are why we're where we are today. Every cop thinks he's robocop, and that the bad guy is some mustache twirling monster. But those "bleeding heart liberal cuck rules" are there for a reason: to prevent innocents getting hurt, since that's, you know, the _exact opposite_ of what the police are supposed to be doing.
@@shadowproductions969 privatized police forces? Heck. No. Bad enough there are privatized prisons and banks. Privatized law enforcement stinks too much of future elitist defense against poor masses. Stuff like those needs to saying in the nation's voting system and not in corporate backers pockets.

@@OhNotThat Yes but it was NOWHERE near what it is today where they think that it's women who should be first and above men while getting everything on a silver platter, it was more of a "You put your mind to it and you can succeed just as well or do BETTER than who you're working with" kind of deal.
Lewis was great in these films. Shame they killed her off in the awful third movie. Just awful.
Murphy getting up and saying "Fine I'll do it myself" to fixing himself is just the perfect way of saying who he is. Murphy will always do what is necessary.
Seeing Murphy’s fellow cops show that much concern after he fried himself, was actually touching.

Lewis was his only true friend. Always cared for him and looked out for him
Anne is an excellent character.
I don't know about that. The rest of the Police seem to at least respect him, but they dropped their protest and rushed over to help him, treading all over their signs without thought to get him safely inside. That's symbolic of something.
@@CaptainGlack i see this as corporativism. Cop down, let's help him. The fact that it's Robocop is just a detail, which I think is very cool.
She was all he had left of his humanity. He couldnt remember his family so all he could remember was her.
@@CaptainGlack its like oh shit he snapped under the pressure!! He cant handle it anymore. The cops see him as a person, not a machine. To see their brightest and strongest fall, is a great deal to them. Hes a cop like them, to see him do that they must have thought he tried to commit suicide from the greed of the corpos and he just gave up fighting.
I just love this scene. He did what *MURPHY* wanted to do. This scene also shows how much his fellow cops care for him.
It’s heartwarming seeing his comrades treat him like an actual human being instead of a product of OCP.
Can’t help but love that he basically charged to electrocute himself the millisecond he heard it was an option. He’d rather die than keep living that way. Hard to believe a “don’t play with electrical circuitry” directive or something wasn’t in there
OCP is just that incompetent
Directive 238: Avoid Destructive Behaviour
This scene has more weight if you realise that Murphy is either exploiting a loophole in the directives or using his willpower to power through breaking them.
With the amount of directives it is more than likely many of them conflict or have been weighted badly so that it makes a mess.
I.E The scene where he pulls a weapon on a smoker and shoots around them.
29 years later and it still looks better than any CGI movie. Bravo Kershner! RIP
Technician: " .... It would probably kill him."
Robocop: "BETTER DEAD THAN RED"
better dead than woke
Robocop has been dead before and he still got back up.
Oo So He's Anti-Communist, Well That's Great
Based Murphy
so if he has no directives does that mean he can quit being a cop and become a motivational speaker?
He could, but he didn't want to.
John Smith "Are we cops?"
What I don't get is why he got the starter directives (including the no killing of OCP officers) back in the third movie.
He's shown he was perfectly capable of being a good cop without them, they only seem hinder his abilities... :\
John Smith yes. But he loves being a cop. He volunteered as Murphy and he still has that sense of duty and honor.
No it just means if he wants to off another OCP board member he can.
"What's buggin you Murph?"
"CAINE...CAINES BUGGING ME."
Love that scene...you know he's about to go kick some a$$
Fuckin A 🦾
yeah realy cool
and people dont call him robocop they call him murphy
@@franktheweed6171 also at 1:49 you can hear them shout 'Hay Murphy's Down'
yeah the next scene is a street vendor selling hotdogs. he hears the sirens and says " here comes the cops!" customer: cops are on strike man. Detroit police: we're back! vendor: they about to kick somebody's ASS!
The social commentary and satire in almost every scene of these movies is part of why I’ll always watch them. 😂🙌🏾
Always nice to see that no matter how much of Murphy has become machine, the rest of the police still see him as one of them.
Yes, to them he will always be Alex J. Murphy. Even though technically Alex J Murphy is dead at least according to the database that his information was in. I think if his creator Bob Morton were still alive he would have had a conniption fit over the stuff that Dr Juliet Faxx put into him.
Friend let me put it to you this way. Clarence boddicker took Alex J Murphy's heart and to a great extent his body, but not his spirit.
Wow, Murphy would rather risk dying again than be a slave to OCP. Go Murphy! Although I'd like to see Directives 5-232 and 279-300

I Love how the other cop called him Murph... as if they see him as a fellow officer. And not just some Cyborg

@@killman369547 hers looked dry as a bone
So it was ok
Gotta love that part where they just walk over their own picket signs. It finally hit them that all of this was happening cause he was trying to do their job all on his own.
They weren't wrong for protesting, though. OCP was marginalizing the human police force, lessening their pay and forcibly privatizing them to serve their own corporate ends........all while ultimately devising to replace them all with more obedient robots.
Robocop, without meaning to, represented everything they were protesting against. That's what makes it so powerful that, when he needed their help, they threw the signs on the ground and walked over them to carry him. Because they still see that he's one of them.
@@KniGhTKrawLeR9 You make for a good point there. One interesting thing about this film is that they tried replicating what was done to Murphy to others. Only to have the poor officers used go insane and kill themselves. Murphy I wanna say was a special case.
@@JaguarCatsIt was also because of one factor, that they likely didn't realize that Murphy was able to get used to his body thanks to being memory bleached.
The other unlucky officers were either not memory bleached, or the technique was botched... So they went insane or became suicidal.
Of course, part of the reason was due to Dick Jones killing everyone who worked on the project, and destroyed all the files and plans, so OCP were unable to replicate the process as Dick Jones screwed them over, just to push for his ineffective Ed-209 units which looked more like combat mechs than The Urban Law enforcement units they were supposedly built to be.
Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
@@Victor-056 In the original scripts, it's meant to be that the reason he didn't got insane, aside from his incredible willpower, was that his face remained. The theory in the script was that if even the slightest part of his human psyche survived and saw nothing of the original left, it would kill him, hence why when the other three Robos seen have no faces, they either immediately kill themselves or go completely out of control. Obviously that isn't stated in the films, but it's still cool context
I like how his female partner smacks him away from the electricity box like he was made of fairy floss😂
I still love the way Murphy's basically like "You guys talk, i'm done." lol
"Probably" was the key word here because it meant he could survive, and that was good enough for Murphy to try if it meant freeing himself

And here you are commenting.. plus robocop has been searched a LOT recently because of MK11
That was a shocking scene...
No. Just no..
get out!
In multiple sence.
Nice
It gave the movie the spark it needed.
A mostly overlooked part about this entire scene, is that when Robocop was downed, _All of the Officers_ that had been previously protesting _Immediately_ Rushed over and discarded their signs.
This is a Big scene, and likely a Callback, because in Robocop 1, These Officers only went on Strike _After_ Murphy was attacked by the DPD officers that Dick Jones called over, implying that after they were made to attack their own, they decided enough was enough and went on Strike against OCP.
And since they consider Murphy "One of their Own", the moment he electrocuted himself, they rushed over to help, regardless of their displeasure at OCP.
So powerful scene, the suppression of signs which represents the good will and duty over the strike ! They don`t do movies like that nowadays....
Yep they have so afraid... come on ...🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜😜😜😜😜 Well for you Paul😘😘😘😘😘

You'd be surprised what things were used to make iconic props/stuff. Mr. Fusion in BTTF 2 was a coffee machine called Mr. Coffee.
@@jeager1999 Not really. The prop was made out of a Krups Coffina 223 Coffee Grinder, attached to the outer shell of a Singer magnetic disc memory core. However, the Mr. Coffee reference is correct in regards to the inspiration for the Mr. Fusion brand.

It's feels so good that not only did he get rid of the new directives but his old ones as well. Like he got his free will back
He did this after finding out he couldn't eat donuts anymore. No cop can fathom existence without donuts.
PinkCharmander it's more likely he did it because he knew all of his so called directives would get in the way of effectively doing his duty as a cop
Alex Conn, R/Wooooooooooosh
He didn't eat doughnuts regardless
@@prestonmcleod1726 and how doyou know that?
@@Tyreece190 well the first movie mentioned that robocop eat some sort of baby food to maintain his biology system. It is also easily digested. That.....just give me idea to create.....a baby food tasted donut.
“Probably will kill him”
Robocop: *bet?*
If this had been made more recently, one of the directives would have been
"DO NOT MISGENDER"
1000% guaranteed.
These directives are being forced on children every day.
LMAO
it's sad because your completely right
bingo, without even realizing it you've stumbled into the LARGER world of Clinical Psychology/Behavioral Science (ie. the Skinner Rat and Pavlovian Dog experiments). but "shhhh" let's keep this between us, don't tell anybody.

"DIRECTIVE 262: Avoid Orion meetings."
heh
What are the Orion meetings ?
@@kross777rlsh9 The film was produced by Orion Pictures.
Ironic Injoke as the writers hated the Orion Pictures Board of Directors messing around with the story for Robocop 2, the writers would send a draft for the movie, then numerous meetings were held to change various parts of the story they weren't happy with... irony.. 3 years later Orion Pictures went bankrupt after "meetings"
Along with those extra directives, a script for Robocop 3 was added in there and that was what drove Robocop insane.
The fact that that script got shlepped onto the man who made Monster Squad and NIght of the Creeps....waste of his skill.
Murphy: "It's time to cut down this shit!"
When Robocop tells you to put him down, YOU FUCKING LISTEN!
After frying himself the human side of Murphy must have felt warmed coming back online to see his fellow cops all carrying him and showing they're treating him like a fellow human; he grins.
this is actually one of my favorite scenes in robocop 2. since it shows that despite what happened to murphy the entire police force puts aside their protest to help him, and unlike the idiots in ocp who treat him as nothing more than a machine. everyone in the station see's robocop as one of them.
2:25 - Aw, I thought he was going to give Lewis a hug :P
Bloated maybe...?
"Avoid Orion meetings." haha this is amazing
Where is that one visible? I can't spot it.
Lol, Murphy's like, "A few thousand volts? Hmm... let's do that."
osef
".. hope his insulation holds..."
*barely finished talking robocop tears connection off*
what a man.
I like when Murphy after rebootin' himself, he round up all his fellow officers and went ta hunt Cain down.
Fellow Officer: "What's fuckin' ya Murphy?"
Murphy: "CAIN!! CAIN'S FUCKIN' ME!!!!"
that is one image I didn't need in my head thank you.
She used a tactical wooden plank to avoid getting electrocuted herself. Smart.
"We could run a few thousand volts through him and pray his insulation holds"
Murphy: *_say no more._*
Alternate response: "Hold my beer"
@@stevedixon921 wouldn't be hold my insulation
@@stevedixon921 Hold muh Baby food.
The first thing he does after wiping the directives is just
“GOD THAT DRUGGY PISSES ME OFF”
Yeah and he f***** up Cain pretty badly you could just say it was revenge though and I will say this if Dr Faxx had not tried to use his brain to create RoboCop 2 I don't think that Cain would have survived.
That list of directives represents modern society to me! Things comedians aren't allowed to make fun of for instance!
Next Scene : "WHoaW! You know they are going to kick someones ass!"
Loved Robocop 2 alot, almost as good as the original. They really did a good job holding the theme the first movie made. Just like with the first one, if I catch this on TV I have to watch it lol.
Thx for upload!
@A. Darwin I agree. RoboCop 2 feels empty and like your typical 80's action flick. Don't get me started on the third one
Part 2 was a good popcorn flick in a way, and a very good (though far from great like the first one was) movie over all. Three on the other hand was such a disaster, even if it had it's moments though, but still. The remake wasn't exactly much better, and was totally forgettable too.
@@freakyfornash I think the remake would've been a great movie on its own but since the original RoboCop exists it pales in comparison
@@MineCraftrules17 As a standalone movie, it maybe wasn't so bad. But the fact of the matter was that it was RoboCop, and was a huge letdown in the end. Hopefully the upcoming RoboCop Returns movie will at least be decent, and is supposed to be the true sequel to the original film as well.
SatanicalEve It’s not *that* bad and is one of the darkest pictures in the genre. But I get where you’re coming from.
That's what I call a hard reset.
When you watch this the first time, you think Robo's gone crazy or is suicidal. But the second time, you notice as soon as the lady scientist talks about running a few thousand volts through him, he gets up and grabs the breaker box. He was listening the the scientists the whole time, and finally heard a plan where he could do something.
Still the the high watermark for actors who are cyborgs.... and the way he moves, is so unique.
"and pray he survives"
RoboCop: good thing I'm Catholic!
And that's probably one of the reasons Murphy never tried to kill himself after he was cyborged. He was a good practicing Catholic when he was a normal human being, before what happened to him because according to the Catholic church at that time, suicide is a mortal sin or at least it was back then, you die with a mortal sin on your soul you burn in hell.
"You can run a few thousand volts threw him."
Robocop: Thatll work, now if youll excuse me...
I love this scene. Robocop electrocutes himself to fry out the corporate, woke BS that OCP poured into this head.
Love how ROBOCOP IS THINKING I'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN OCP'S PUPPET
Caine, Caine’s bugging me, Robocop my Number 1 favorite superhero he should always have himself a Lightsaber:
Maybe a lightsaber baton?
It's in this scene Murphy became exactly like those failed RoboCop 2 prototypes: He'd rather kill himself than be a robot. There's no way he knew he'd survive but he was willing to take the risk, probably because he didn't give a fuck about dying or going after Cain again.
Murphy must be a millennial...
Engineer - "Well, if he shocked himself it might erase the programming that's suppressing him. The process might kill him though..."
Robocop - *_"I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!!"_*
0:42 RoboCop: "I've heard enough! If you can't get this crap out off my circuits, than i will do it myself!
The first movie was about the excesses of capitalism and corporatism. The second was about the excesses of liberalism or at least as it may be applied in government. There is a happy medium in there, somewhere, but not necessarily centrism. Just humanism with some practicality.
Also, Tzi Ma has a great agent. He's a scientist, a consul that gets promoted to ambassador, teacher, doctor, cop, etc.
The problem was humanism is that you can only be human for so long before you find it annoying

We all need to take notes from this Movie
If only it got more recognition 😑
There's a lot of accuracy in this movie to today's times. Even all the ridiculous directives to comply with all the PC requests to be nonviolent and so on. (Most of this was done because of the backlash the first movie got for its violence) Cops being unappreciated and a city ran by corporations with privatized police forces (what's about to happen in Minneapolis). It gets a lot right.
@@shadowproductions969 It also kind of aggravates the problem, with the recurring sentiment of "PC bleeding hearts = bad, unrestrained, violent law enforcement = good!"
You could make a case that robocop, and frank miller, are why we're where we are today.
Every cop thinks he's robocop, and that the bad guy is some mustache twirling monster. But those "bleeding heart liberal cuck rules" are there for a reason: to prevent innocents getting hurt, since that's, you know, the _exact opposite_ of what the police are supposed to be doing.
@@shadowproductions969 privatized police forces? Heck. No. Bad enough there are privatized prisons and banks. Privatized law enforcement stinks too much of future elitist defense against poor masses. Stuff like those needs to saying in the nation's voting system and not in corporate backers pockets.
