- ❤️WELCOME back to my channel!💙 Today, I am watching Robocop 2 (1990) and I am so stoked for this! Robocop 2 has been on my watchlist ever since I watched the first movie this past July and tons of you guys have been recommending it to me. I really love Robocop and really empathized with Murphy and the struggles he went through in the first movie. Even though this movie was made in 1990 I'm hoping it still has some 80's charm, maybe some practical effects, stop motions effects, that would be really cool to see. I hope you guys are excited for today's video! Grab your chicki nuggies and choccy milk because we're jumping in! 💦

I LOVE ROBOCOP!!! This movie just like the first was a fun mixture of humor and violence which I think makes for a fun watch. I'm really glad they had Peter Weller as Robocop again, he played Robocop so well in the first movie so I was happy to see they were able to get him for the sequel. Loved the practical effects and the stop motion effects. Overall really enjoyed it but I can't say I like it more than the original, I think the original Robocop will always just have a special place in my heart. Definitely was still a fun watch. Those commercials were something else lol. I hope you enjoy my reaction😄
Magnavolt..."and it won't even run down your battery." My favorite of the Robocop commercials.🤣 Lauren, thank you so much for this. Totally fun movie. They absolutely do not make movies like this anymore. My understanding about the suit, they constructed a new one for Robocop 2 because Peter Weller had such a difficult time with the first one. It was very heavy and he apparently became very dehydrated while wearing it. The second one was far more comfortable. I knew you'd love the makeup and prosthetics. The puppet they used was quite an engineering marvel. Always always always Gold Lauren. I appreciate all the work and love you bring. Peace and love my friend.🥰❤✌️
After Murphy electrocuted himself to purge all those directives, his display shows No Directives. I've always felt, at that point, he was Alex Murphy again. Not Robocop with parts of Murphy. All Murphy. Just my theroy
🔥🔥🔥
Luv the Wednesday Addams hairstyle 😍
Awesome reactions laura ^^
Hmm in some ways, i actually think rc2 is better than the original movie o.O
Like how Cains a fucking bloody scary nightmare-machine(😛) he and the killer robot in the weird uk scifi horror(?) movie Death-Machine(1994), have the honours of giving me bad dreams as kid 😛
With Hardware(1990) on a honorary place 😛
The sheer visceral nature of practical effects cannot be underestimated. That's why these older movies still hold up incredibly well today.
The are plenty of older movies with practical effects that don't hold up today. Look at movies like Carnosaur or Rawhead Rex, plenty of shlock from yesteryear.
@@reptomicus you're talking about B and sub-B grade movies, not quality stuff. Of course they'll look like crap, they looked like crap when they were first released.
@@reptomicus Carnosaur? Seriously? You might as well be using Asylum movies as a benchmark for CGI.
I agree, using actual props will always trump cgi. 2023 and CGI dinosaurs or anything else still looks like a cartoon. The only time CGI works is when it's used as a background.
Well done practical effects hold up, but it has its limits. Well done CGI is better than stop motion, matte painting and optical compositing.
The disembodied brain and eyes of Kain watching and processing his own body be disassembled is actually terrifying. He killed the girl not because of programming, but because he is a psychopath and she didn't come save him from the hospital. There was a scene between her and the kid explaining he would not forgive them.
I saw an old 50's Sci-Fi movie that had that, "Fiend Without a Face". I guess they got the idea from that.
I think he killed her because she didn’t give him any nuke. Remember he put he claw arm out? He was asking her for nuke and when she didn’t give it to him he killed her.
@@vytallicaq.6881 That's probably part of it, but I think there's also a direct connection to the old "brain in a jar" solipsism thought experiment, ie. "if you were just a brain in a jar being fed the illusion of external stimuli via nerve impulses, how would you know?".
I don't think that was the case with Cain, though I'm sure it was part of it. I think it was "programming", but not of the digital variety. It was an underscoring of Cain's addiction; he had a moment of personal familiarity and affection, almost instantly overwhelmed by the reality of "mission = drug".
Given that RoboCop does a lot of investigation of the conflict between humanity and the dehumanizing aspects of mass technological society, I think Cain was something of a comment on how addictions and other psychological/physiological traps can reduce a person to machinery in their own manner. There's also the role of such considerations as part of the larger dehumanization of the masses engineered by those who would profit from such obscenity.
@@michaelccozens I remember way back in Jr. High, watching an old Star Trek rerun. Kirk was talking to these advanced beings who were nothing more than brains under glass domes. The brains would flash when they talked. That was the first time I ever heard of that idea. Then "The Matrix" took that idea to an amazing new level. Who knows? Maybe we are all just experiencing an elaborate simulation of a physical world. I just wish we could alter things to work the way we want them to like Neo ultimately figured out how to do. That would be A LOT more fun! 🤣
I always felt that the scene where they reprogram Robocop is a great example of what's been happening to a lot of our favorite movies and characters being changed in reboots/remakes for a "modern" audience.
100% AGREE
This is so true!
Ironically... its basically what happened to Robocop 3.
Never was much into Robocop 2 personally (oddly i found it a little to gross, still cant really watch the brain removal lol), but 3... 3 was a travesty.
Reboots and remakes are little more than intellectual grave robbery. The only exception is when the original wasn't good: Redos are justified then.
Lol, so true.
RoboCain and the scene where he stalks for the mayor genuinely terrified me as a kid, I think the stop-motion animation adds to the creepiness. I had the video game and I had to look away from the loading screen every time because RoboCain’s silhouette could be seen on Robocop’s helmet.
Dude, what video game was that? I didn't catch this. But i know what you're talking about. I'm 33 but still shit my pants a little when i see some RoboCain scenes.
@@NobleAss It was Robocop 2 by Ocean Software on the Commodore Amiga.
@@westleystewart, oh, amiga. We didn't have this console in our country. But i will try this game on emulator now, thanks!
I remember being scared of robocop's death on the nes version of robocop 2. they'd show him disembodied, similar to how he looked after cain's crew dismantles him.
The "Thank you for not smoking" clip got used in theaters back when this was new and run before the movie as a no-smoking reminder. I do recall seeing it a few times when I was a kid before movies.
I've remembered that line "Behave yourselves!" for decades...so long I actually forgot where I even heard it until a few years ago. Still pops into my head every time I see things fighting (people, animals, insects, robots, whatever)
Lol always loved that line too I say it constantly as well
RoboCop commercials were the BEST 😂
The social commentary was SPOT ON!
i was always curious about the number of deaths caused by Magnavolt systems due to glitches myself . they have all this high tech but we also see in their world so many high tech things not working as planned . you gotta think there's some serious numbers of people injured by that car defense system if not killed outright.
Robocop is one of the most tragic heroes in sci-fi history.
I saw that movie when it came out and as a kid I thought it would be cool to be like him. Now as an adult, after watching his scene with his wife again, I would rather die than become a cyborg... I mean, imagine your brain inside a metallic body where your senses are gone...
PS: I still remember a phrase from the Robocop comics I was reading back then: "This isn't a new life, this is a living death".
Talking about his interpretation of the character for his performance as Murphy, Peter Weller said "He was r*ped! They took EVERYTHING from him."
There was a manga and anime mini series called "A.D. Police" about a tactical police unit in the city of Mega Tokyo trained and equipted to fight renegade "Boomers" (slang term for androids). One of the stories, called "The Man Who Bites His Tongue," is about a cyborg cop.
Billy is a cop in the A.D. Police who was fatally injured in a battle against a Boomer and has been resurrected as an armored, super strong cyborg (with a visual design reminiscent of Robocop). Billy can physically outfight Boomers which allows the A.D. Police to avoid using guns and explosives to take down Boomers in densely populated urban areas.
The title "The Man Who Bites His Tongue" comes from the fact that Billys tongue is the only part of his body that still has sensation, and he often bites it so the pain will remind him that he's human. He struggles with the effects of chronic sensory deprivation, emotional isolation, and the stimulant drug he keeps getting shot up with to keep him from mentally shutting down.
I won't spoil how it turns out in case you want to check out the story. The manga was translated into English, and the anime has been uploaded on UA-cam. Also, there is a plot synopsis on wikipedia. The anime is weird because it looks like they ran out of time or money to animate the story in he middle of making it. Much of the climax gets told using still pictures drawn in a style that doesn't match the design of the anime.
I'm glad that you enjoyed this, Laurenn. Robocop 2 gets a bad rap but honestly, it's an underrated sequel and continuation of the Robocop franchise.
Exactly, I mean, the second film is continuing on with the police strike from the first movie. The ending to this movie is a set up the plot for the third movie.
This movie got criticism for the increased gore and violence. It is still much better than the third, and even that was better than the TV series.
@@Renegade2786 the woman that Cain killed she died in real life on my birthday I forgot her name in 2020 she passed away
4 years later and would have been CGI
Robocop and robocop 2 is the best 2 films ever
I think when Cain killed Angie @24:40 it was maybe more a case of what she said inadvertently causing him to snap:
"It'll take some getting used to but... it'll be great, Cain"
He knows things will never go back to how they were - echoing the situation with Murphy and his wife - plus the fact that she betrayed him along with Hawk. Unlike Murphy, though, he succumbs to rage (and probably withdrawal symptoms) and lashes out.
The stop motion animation effects by Phil Tippett are frickin awesome and epic! No CGI, back when VFX were done in camera with Matte paintings and miniatures.
But Cain’s facial monitor was computer animation.
@@JCG52577 coz that monitor is made to show cgi
Very underrated sequel
The animatronic effects used when Robo was just a torso were created by Rob Bottin, who also did all of the amazing animatronics for The Thing (1982). He was a master of bizarre and twisted practical effects in the 80's and 90's.
Really glad you're reacting to the second movie. Other UA-camrs Just reacts to the first movie and they don't bother watching the second movie afterwards. They're really missing out with Murphy's personal story.
I agree with you. And I love Peter Weller’s movements in this movie. He really had the robotic movements down. It’s a shame he never played Robocop again after this movie. Part 3 would have been better with him in it.
One of the best secuels ever! Irvin Keshvner made a great job in this and could keep the Robocop's scence pretty well. By other side Cain and Hog are both very respectful villain. And finally Robocop in the motorcicle Rocks!
"Do they live in the same society that we saw earlier? These people are delusional."
That committee is exactly how those types of groups are and it perfectly describes them. It's like the people live in another universe.
25:06 I'm impressed by the emotion Peter Weller is able to convey even with most of his face covered and Murphy's robotic voice.
Fun fact: The game that Robocop crashed Duffie's head through was Bad Dudes, which was licensed by Data East, the same company that made the Robocop arcade game 🤓
are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?
The stop motion is this is beyond impressive. Especially when robocain is going after robocop, the mannerism in his movements
KID ALWAYS FREAKED ME OUT. I
WAS TWELVE WHEN I SAW THIS ONE.
90s WERE AWESOME.
He was the voice of Littlefoot in The Land Before Time, lol.
The original is my favorite, but this one has some great moments as well, and Robocop made me laugh out loud more here lol Great reaction Laurenn 💯
The final showdown with cane was epic
Robo cain climbing up the elevator gave me nightmares when i was a kid, it was so unexpected and terrifying, but what an amazing sequel.
I loved that scene as a kid, it looks terrifying
I don’t care what others say, i still love this movie!!!!!!!! This movie is so underrated.
The way robocop 2 climbs up the elevator shaft is the most terrifying thing
I freaking love the Cain design of this movie.
I honestly think the stop motion adds to the mechanical nature of what Cain became.
First movie is a masterpiece, love it. RoboCop 2 is a bizzare, strange and eclectic experience. Still can't decide it's a good movie or a bad one. I guess that's why I like it.
I saw this movie in the theater about 6 times. It was awesome. It tripled the violence, action and gore, but still had humanity in a weird way. I wish they had given Nancy Allen more to do, but I heard the director disliked her or women in general, and had her scenes trimmed.
Great reaction! ❤️
It was I think more that Kershner didn´t like Nancy Allen. She told in interview Kershner was a "miserable human being" and he didn´t liked her and made it clear on set. Out of 15 films directed by Kershner, including Empire Strikes Back and 007 Nerv say never again, there hasn´t surfaced any other negative comment Kershner´s behaviour on women, so based on those I simply believe this was case of personal dislike. That is sad as I really like Nancy Allen as actress and Lewis as character.
@@thejamppa Didn't Frank Miller also have a lot to do with this movie? As has become sadly clear in his later life, he has a lot of problems with misogyny and other general fascist crap. A shame, as he was once a very interesting writer, but his recent stuff is a great illustration of how fascism eats brains. Lazy.
It's funny. So many people say this movie was gory or gross and point to the brain removal as an example. Yes, there was some gross stuff in here, but it was Toxic Waste Man in the first movie that traumatized me so badly that even in reactions today I won't look at it. Sadly, even while looking away, the sounds are still enough to gross me out. 🤮🤮🤮
@@thejamppa Nancy Allen is a class act and a lovely soul so I tend to believe her account of Kershner's behaviour towards her. Mark Hamill apparently didn't have a great relationship with him either during Empire. Sean Connery didn't have good things to say about him also after making Never Say Never Again with him.
Such a wonderful and heartfelt reaction to Murphy's plight. Great reaction, Lauren! 🙂
Laurenn seems be the UA-camr reactor who recognizes and appreciates Murphy's struggle for his humanity andfor his "personhood" the most.
When the first Robocop came out in theaters I was around 11 or 12. I thought it looked ridiculous. Until I actually saw it and immediately fell in love with it.
Surprisingly though, I still haven't seen this sequel, even though it's now... 33 years old? Holy shit...
All the prominent arcade machines in the Duffy scene are from Data East, the company that put out the Robocop game. I believe Duffy is introduced to a Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja cab.
A couple of fun facts;
- Peter Weller agreed to come back for the sequel if they made the costume more comfortable.
- You mentioned the 'look' of Robocop's armor... Held over from the first movie, it's an automotive finish... Because he was made in Detroit... 🙂
actually his first suit had more grey/silver , in the sequel he had more blue/purple tone to his suit. not exactly a hold over both suti were givien an automotive finish but they were different. it was most certainlya different suit altogether.
@@DenverStarkey in the first film they covered the suit in oil to give it it's sheen. Watch RoboDOC, highly recommend.
The way I always looked at the scene where Cain killed Angie was because she insulted/upset him, not that his programming took over. Right after she says "it'll take some getting used to" he flies into a rage and kills her. Seemed to me like for a moment he forgot what had been done to him and then he was reminded by what she said.
In my humble opinion, CAIN is by far the best stop motion ever put on screen.
Watched this before I turned 10. That robocop puppet had scarred me for YEARS. And robocop has been my favorite hero since childhood.
I loved watching him but those puppet scenes😵😵😵😵
I'm with you about the first one being better. The character interactions were a little more developed, and therefore more satisfying, and that's what matters most in a movie. But this one had some WILD ideas that were really well illustrated by all of the amazing effects, so it was definitely fun to watch!
This was a good movie!! Loved your reactions! 😊
Laurenn! The looks on your face as they were extracting Kane from his body, along with sound effects, were priceless. :)
Fun fact: Peter Weller was once a mime in real life prior to becoming a guilded screen actor if you dnk. May be why he's known for having such good talent in the robotic movements necessary to pull off the cyborg thing
18:02 When Murphy searched his memory, it said there were no directives found, so from then on, he's acting on his free will.
Thank you for not smoking while reacting to RoboCop 2
I always like the blue armor in this one, even the black parts shine up and the chin guard covers the whole chin too. This was Irvin Kershners last movie to direct too. Yeah the score isn't the same since it's by another composer but I still like it. I know the 3rd movie will not be here or anyone else since pretty much everyone hates it, but I for one like the 3rd movie and don't care what anyone says about it. I am glad to see you watching this movie and got it out of the way too while I'm still waiting for others to watch this but still waiting. Another note is most of the arcade games you see there are done by an old game company call Data East and they did Robocop 1 and 2 arcade games too.
Robocop has elements of social commentary in it. The part with the people saying stuff like 'Robocop needs to be nice' is a representation of the 'Mom groups' that were trying to censor everything (and still are to a degree). This can also be seen in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.
My own experience with these kinds of censors comes from their reaction to Power Rangers, which debuted in the US not too long after this movie did.
Interesting you mentioned Starship Troopers. The guy who directed that, also directed the first RoboCop. Another fun fact, the guy who directed RoboCop 2, also directed Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. It explains why the animatronics and stop motion animation is so good too.
Frank Miller (Sin City, 300, The Spirit, Daredevil) wrote the screenplay for Robocop 2. Which is why the Robocop fight at the end is basically a superhero fight. Frank Miller also has a small cameo as Frank the Chemist.
Lauren, so enjoyed your reaction and comments on this. Not sure how you'll feel about Robocop 3. After the satire of the first and the craziness of the second, they tone it down a lot for 3, with a PG rating. Peter Weller also opted out, but his replacement Robert John Burke does a pretty good job. It's a fairly routine adventure, and has a few TV actors that went on to bigger things.
Burke does fine with what he's given (and since the perfect Weller is gone) but yeah it feels so much like a made for TV thing closer to the TV series than the first two films.
Irvin Kershner directed RoboCop 2(1990). He also directed Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back(1980).
Adam Savage from Mythbusters openly states he feels Cain is the greatest stop motion puppet of all time in terms of mechanical design and functional form.
I like how this "glitch" seems to always find its way back into his programming
hey, i watched along on patreon...first time i saw this since i was a kid!!! i gotta admit, the editing was somewhat choppy with this movie. this movie still works though. Robocop 3 though...i think is better left in the vault. quite the nostalgia trip so thanks for that. i played NES game for hours on end in the 90's. this movie had a hand in shaping my childhood. thanks for reacting to this!!!
just a fact here, there has never been a reactor to the Robocop TV series that is 22 episodes, yes it isnt played by peter weller BUT you'll get tons of lore, i swear you'd like it.
A lot of people knock the remake but honestly I'd recommend it. It has it's charms, his testing against the robots and reintroduction at home is definitely a bit of fun and the action is very clean. It's not as campy as the original but it definitely has its moments. A slightly different, um-- bucket of bolts?
Fun fact: Frank Miller - the genius behind Sin City, 300, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - is the scriptwriter for Robocop 2, and has a cameo appearance.
The part that still gives me chills is at the beginning when Robocop gets out of the burning car and the music hits just as his foot hits the ground.
Yes yes and yes I am beyond happy to see you doing a reaction video to this criminally underrated Robocop sequel ! 7:38 he did do that on purpose everything you said after that is also true he can’t be a husband to her anymore. Facts on the puppet at 33:03 that was most definitely amazing. Plus you are talking facts at 33:36 about the stop motion effect they were definitely a sight to behold. You are also spot on at 33:46 about Dr.Faxx she has some serious screws loose.
21:48 they did the same with Murphy, spinal cord, brain, and eyeballs. that's how he has memories, and feelings, he still has his human brain. they show in more detail of the procedure in the 2014 version of Robocop. i really like how they do the social commentary in these films, in the mock commercials they have, really well done! loved the reaction to a classic! 👍
- Not to be intentionally confrontational, but I don't think that's correct, if all there was was a brain, spine and eyes, then why would they have made him a food dispenser? You only need a food dispenser if there is a functional digestive tract. Also, in the opening scenes when he is first being augmented, one of the technicians specifically stares "We were able to save the other arm" before Dick Jones tells them, to hack it off, because OCP didn't want biological arms - now logically, if they were told to chop off his arm, it kind of obviously would imply that there will be a torso left that the arm is going to be hacked off of, so, if they are removing the arm from the torso, then the torso (and hence the digestive tract) will still be there after the arm is removed - if the torso isn't going to remain, then they wouldn't have phrased it to remove the arm, they would have probably not said anything. Just saying, the specific lines in the script don't really mesh with the idea that he had nothing left of his body other than a brain/eyes.
Also, as a side note, While watching this I was kind of wondering what purpose the eyes would have served, other than to look cool and creepy for the movie. Cain didn't seem to have any eyes on his mechanized head, no face of any kind prosthetic or otherwise, just an animation on the screen, so the eyes did not appear to even be present, and of course, since there was no face or eyes visible, one would assume that it was getting some kind of visual input through sensors, and so, kind of doesn't make sense that they showed that they kept the eyes. So yeah my theory is it was just because it looked cool, having the eyes hanging off the brain in the jar like that, lol.
@@Arthaius i was wrong, they kept his right arm too in the 2014 version,... i didn't write the film, or the theory behind the reason why things work,.. it's a movie.
@@Lugnut73 - I haven't personally seen the remake, I generally for the most part tend to like the original of a movie much more than the remakes so have kind of mostly stopped watching remakes, with a little bit of an "Why-Can't-They-Come-Up-With-Their-Own-Ideas" attitude now about movies, in the last few years seemed like there was a flood of remakes all over the place. To give you an idea, I am an absolute mega fan of the Star Trek Universe, so when they came out with the new ones, starting with everyone young and brand new fresh out of the academy, I was very resistant, and originally wasn't going to watch it, but I eventually got around to it, and was pleasantly and shockingly surprised at how good they are, Christopher Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldano, Karl Urban, John Cho they ALL played their roles so well, and everything kept so true to the original style, one of the only remakes I have seen that was as good as the originals, and honoring Leonard Nimoy with his part in these movies, total respect, love them a lot. It is a shame we lost Mr. Anton Yelchin, he was quite frankly amazing as Chekov. So, yeah most of the time I don't tend to watch remakes much, sometimes it can spoil the memories of a great movie a bit when they make a new cash-cow copy and it has none of the original movies magnetism.
Anyways, thanks for replying back with a positive manner, most of the time, people want to jump into an internet argument if you say something that contradicts them, so you Sir are an uncommonly positive attitude, which I respect :)
@@Arthaius Yes, it looked cool. But it looked like Cain had had two faces, one with eyes behind the knight-like helmet head which he can turn around to present a screen as a second face to show his virtual face to Angie on it . But unlike Murphy his real face was not preserved, because Cain was one of the most wanted criminals of Detroit and people would never believe him to be a trustworthy police officer now. So, OCP had to keep secret the identity of Robocop 2 (= Cain) to the public. After Cain's second death however OCP wll tell the public who he was, but that it was solely the idea of evil Dr. Fax to choose a criminal's brain without telling the company and finally make her alone responsible for the massacre committed by Cain.
Robocop 2 came out a year before I was born and I still grew up watching it.
Hi Laurenn, the first movie was mostly filmed in Dallas, TX. This one was filmed in Houston. I wouldn't recommend the third Robocop movie however, it's really bad and just isn't worth watching.
i love how they try to make the criminal kid death emotional, but im pretty sure everyone was happy he died
Cain killed his old girlfriend because she reminded him of his current state of being " it'll take some getting used to, but it'll be great Cain!". Hearkoning back to what the lawyer said about Murphy's wife "What can you offer her, love? A man's love?". Gotta love the loss of little things that make us human.....
RoboCop 2 usually gets quite a bit of hate but I've always loved both of them love the neca Robocop in the background in that tar man from Return the Living Dead and the Terminator head I got the same one and I think I see a little Christine down there I was like 5 years old when RoboCop 2 came out
The "River Rouge sludge plant" definitely has that abandoned Detroit industrial-decay thing going for it like the steel mill from _RoboCop_ did.
I've been watching robocup throughout my whole childhood the next one you should watch Robocop 3
Yes laurenn,you watched RoboCop 2. My personal favourite. Incredible video as always. Stay phenomenal
There were some cartoon sound effects. When RoboCop gets knocked off the van by the electric pole and when he and RoboCain are falling from the building at the end.
I'm so happy you enjoyed this movie. It gets constantly criticized by the RoboCop community, but I have always thought it was a solid sequel. The action in this movie is so much fun.
Now, watch RoboCop 3 at your own risk. Lewis is the only reason to watch it.
Your too funny, Laurenn!😄When you yelled "Git 'em", you sounded like an old time prospector. Yeah, it's hard to tell who's the real bad guy Fax or Cain? Unfortunately, it is down hill after this film. Peter Weller was recast in "Robocop 3" and it just was not the same. Great reactions to Robocop 2, Laurenn!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Robocop 2 will definitely give you some shocking moments, Like when they sliced him in pieces. I didn't even know they made a Robocop action figure.
As an adult the first movie resonates harder with the more biting satire and tighter storytelling but the dope stop motion action scenes of the sequel made it my favourite when I was a kid (and probably shouldnt have been watching either but hey ho).
Curious if she will do the absolute farce of a movie that is robocop 3 :)
It was the 80's-90's, of course we should of been watching it as kids.
Since you've done Saving Private Ryan, I think it would be incredible to see you react to Fury, which in my opinion is one of only 3 films that can hold a candle to SPR, the other two being Hacksaw Ridge and Dunkirk.
Hellow :) New subscriber here! Something I really love about YOUR react videos are the flashbacks you make, when you talk about earlier stuff. From all the youtubers I've seen so far, you seem to take it more seriously and with a lot of passion. Have a nice day xx
You watched RC2! I am so proud of you. Most people don't realize what they are missing. 😁
I'd only stick with the first two Weller movies. I loved the battle at the end! Tom Noonan (Kane) was a great Frankenstein Monster in 'The Monster Squad', too!
No way! That was him??? Wow.
Nice movie and natural reaction. Thanks 🙏❤️💐
fun fact the magnavolt Spokes person , is also the CEO of Billy's company in Gremlins 2.
you really got to do Gremlins and gremlins 2 some day.
That drug dealer kid overwhelmed me as a youngster myself back in the day, for some reason..
Lauren: "Wasn't this in the first movie? It's like the same area."
Me: "Yeah, it's called Detroit."
Paul Verhooven directed both ROBOCOP 1 and STARSHIP TROOPERS, and while the guy who directed EMPIRE STRIKES BACK directed ROBOCOP 2, they did try to keep some of the commercial satire, which is probably like the commercials/TV in this movie FEEL like STARSHIP TROOPERS.
Now you gotta find a theater that plays the film prints. It hits better. Its like going back in time. Even when they show the trailers.
Modern movies simply can not compare, it's great that the 80's action movies exist for us though.
Glad you reacted to this and _Predator 2._ They're both strong sequels which are sadly overlooked by a lot of reactors. I wouldn't personally recommend reacting to _Robocop 3_ though, at least not until you've reacted to a lot of other, better movies. It's not terrible, but they tried to make it more family friendly, and as such, it lacks the cutting edge of the first two films. A thematically similar film I'd recommend over _Robocop 3_ would be _Demolition Man._
Great Film, love that 80s Frank Miller Energy! Love your videos!
Can you believe these R-rated movies got TWO Saturday morning cartoons as well as toys and merchandise aimed at kids?
Lovely reaction as usual. Robocop has such a special place in my life, since it was the first movie my older brother showed me, as a kid. I wonder if i would suggest watching the reboot of Robocop from 2014... I personaly didn't like it, but i'm curious of your reaction. Am i only bias due to nostalgia... Anyway, I woulden't buy that for a dollar... The reboot that is 😊
Much love from Sweden!
With his face mostly hidden and the limited mobility of the Robocop coatume, Peter Weller's voice acting plays a big part in the effectiveness of his performance. For another great movie with a great voice performance by Peter Weller, you should watch the two part animated movie "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series.
Frank Miller who wrote the script for Robocop 2!
Hi Lauren 🥰 i really love your reaction to Robocop 🚨 it's been 7 months since you watch The first movie but your reaction to the 2nd was even better cuz your reaction bight my Sunday today !!!❤Also can't believe you released your reaction to Three videos this weekend 😯.
See you on Stream later my friend ! :)
This was the final film to be directed by Irwin Kershner.
Director another classic sequel, Star Wars:Episode V-The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
The original score by Leonard Rosenman is very good.
As close to Basil Poledouris' score from the original and just as good.
This did feel more like a comic come to life indeed.
All done for good reason.
This was first of the 2 sequels to involve comic legend, Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) as an screenwriter.
He played the lab scientist who died in the trailer during the police raid.
Miller originally wrote a lot of material for each sequel.
RC2 is considered the best of the sequels.
RC3 gets a whole lot more hate because of it's lowered quality.
Galyn Görg who played Angie, Kane's girlfriend died in 2020 from cancer.
RC2 was Peter Weller's last time as Murphy/Robocop on film.
But he returns to the role in 2 video games:Mortal Kombat 11-Aftermath (2020)
and the upcoming Robocop:Rogue City (2023).
Since before RC2, Robocop launched a full-fledged comic book franchise.
Series, mini-series, crossovers and such.
5 different publishing companies in nearly 30 years.
Frank Miller's unused material from the movies were re-utilized in Avatar Press' RoboCop (2006-2009).
RoboCop's design was loosely based off a toy. The toy was called ROM Spaceknight. It came out in Sept of 1979 and Marvel Comics made it a best selling comic book series. There is two different scenes in Robocop 1987. Where the Rom comics are in the background. In the scene where Murphy's son is watching tv. There's a comic next to him. And in the store on the magazine/comic book rack. There's a bunch of ROM comics on it. Marvel never owned ROM. But just got the rights back to reprint the series since 1985! So hopefully we will be seeing a trilogy of ROM movies soon. Hopefully directed by Sam Raimi.
Part one and two are the best of all RoboCop movies
18:04 Robocop pressed the clear CMOS button.
Totally underrated sequel!
Agreed !
My uncle lived in Houston when they filmed this and they stored some of the destroyed cop cars in a fenced in area in a lot outside his apartment. My closest brush with Hollywood.
RoboCop 2 is one of my favorites one hell of a fight scene between him and Kane at the end but Cain looked awesome as RoboCop 2 replacement lol
Glad you enjoyed this movie it's more mainstream type of storyline compared to the first one!
If you do continue watching the RoboCop franchise RoboCop 3 is not that bad but it has its flaws but it's an interesting storyline for what it was at the time it came out ☺️
Cain presumably had the same directives as Robocop but was able to ignore them because of his deranged psychology.
Server the public trust - What does that even mean?
Protect the innocent - Who is innocent really?
Uphold the law - A criminal that never obeyed the law in his life
the robocop series ended here, the rest didn't exist 😂😂😂
The director of RoboCop 2 also directed The Empire Strikes Back.
my favorite part of this movie is when they give robo-caine the nuke at the end and his little claw comes out and is like "gimmie gimmie gimmie"
Thank you Laurenn for reacting Robocop 2. I love Peter Weller as robocop one of my favorites from my childhood. Next time Robocop 3
Frank Miller played the chemist who made the nuke, great movie! "Behave yourselves!"
