All RoboCop cameos and cultural references

-----------------------------------

Some (idiots) decided in wikipedia to remove all the cameos and cultural references from the RoboCop article. I'm not gonna fight for it since I hate wikipedia editing fights. In the last edit historial you can see how they removed it, the explanation in the discussion-talk page is this one:

I allowed this section to stick last time around but now I think it's better to do away with it completely. As previously said, it's no more than a veiled "trivia" magnet. It's nearly impossible to stop this from growing out of control. If RoboCop has had a notable impact one or more aspects of popular culture, or the development of certain media as a whole, than it is worth mentioning, but simply citing references and quotes across television shows and video games is non-notable in my opinion. --Steerpike 

So I've thought that to prevent all this info to get lost we should compile it here, and we may also expand it in the future.

I also may put pictures of each cameo-reference in the future, or if you find them put them here.


FILM/TV

An episode of Beavis and Butt-head has Beavis & Butt-head watching a RoboCop clone called Iron Justice. Beavis is nearly killed when he attempts RoboCop's signature stunt of crashing through a wall. In another episode, Beavis and Butt-head were watching a RoboCop episode, where he saved Christmas from criminals. 

In the Simpsons episode "Future-Drama", police chief Clancy Wiggum becomes a RoboCop.

In another Simpsons episode, "Kill the Alligator and Run", a cyborg very obviously based on RoboCop called "The Cyborganizer" appears on a TV show being watched by Homer. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/cyborganizer.jpg

An episode of Saved By The Bell Screech wears a RoboCop-type costume and calls himself "RoboScreech". 

A the Red Dwarf Series III episode of "Polymorph" the main character, Lister, is changed into a superhuman to ward off a shape shifting alien. This transformation turns him into a "Half Human/Half Robocop" like hero. 

A Family Guy episode parodies the scene in which Murphy is tortured by the gang members. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/murphy-familyguy.jpg

In an episode of Sailor Moon, a POV shot through Sailor Mercury's visor displays RoboCop's Primary Directives and references the scene where the camera shows RoboCop's POV while arresting a criminal. 

In the popular webseries Red vs. Blue there is a shot from the point of view of the character of Lopez, a Spanish robot, where three directives are displayed as RoboCop's are: 
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES 
FIX EVERTHING 
HATE THE ORANGE ONE 
CALL MOM MORE OFTEN 

RoboCop's modified Beretta 93R (Auto-9) is briefly featured in the movie Sin City, where the character Hartigan (Bruce Willis) looks at the weapons in a car stolen from two thugs. Frank Miller, who worked on the last two RoboCop movies also wrote, produced, and directed Sin City. .
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/sincity-auto9-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/sincity-auto92.jpg

Bixby Snyder's catchphrase "I'd buy that for a dollar!" is quoted verbatim at the end of the McDonald's "Dollar Menuaires" promotion featuring Jeremy Miller. 

Paul Teutal Junior, from the series American Chopper often says the line "I'd buy that for a dollar" when he's made/seen something he really likes. 

In the UK comedy series Spaced, there is an episode when main characters Tim and Mike are building a robot wars robot, they parody the POV robocop contruction scene with the camera looking through the robots eyes as they attatch the LED

RoboCop once appeared in a WCW wrestle show. It was a small cameo where Robo gets to "save" one of the wrestlers who was put in a cage by some other bad-guy wrestlers. It all came out very strange and surreal. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/robowrestle2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/robowrestle1.jpg

RoboCop appeared as a toy in the "Indian in the Cupboard" movie. He came alive for just 10 seconds saying "halt" and shooting bad guys in the Cupboard. Other toys in the scene were Darth Vader and a T-Rex. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/robo-cupboard.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/vader-cupboard.jpg

RoboCop appeared in the Popular Show "BAYWATCH" on a convention center, during the time RoboCop: the series was still popular. 

In an episode of Angel the gang capture an assassin cyborg and the lab is examing it. One of them says "They're working on Robocop." 

In an episode of Jake 2.0 two bad guys interrogate Jake, one asks "Think you could out smart a bullit?" to which Jake replies "That's a line from Robocop". Indeed it is, Emil says it to the gas station attendant.

The Scottish comedian Rikki Fulton plays "Supercop" who is anything but "Super". He says "The names Supercop, not Robocop". 

The Auto-9 appears in the film "Dracula 3000" when one of the characters grabs it from a display.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/dracula3000-auto9-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/dracula3000-auto9-2.jpg

In The Critic, RoboCop is parodied as "Roboclapper". 


Video games

The multiplayer mode character Cyborg Chimp in Timesplitters: Future Perfect is a parody of RoboCop. It even has a banana in its concealed holster. 

In the video game, Project Snowblind, the character of Nathan Frost is similar to that of RoboCop/Alex Murphy. Like Murphy's dedication as a police officer, Nathan Frost is a promising soldier that gets killed at beginning of the game only to get revived as a cyborg. 

The expansion to the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft has robotic enemies called Arcane Patrollers in the Blood Elf starting area. When attacking, they often say one of Robocop's Prime Directives. 

The title character of the 1991 video game James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod spoofs RoboCop. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/jamespond2.jpg


Books

The Flemish comic Suske en Wiske had an issue that spoofed RoboCop. This issue was named Robotkop, which translates to robothead. 

Dorfl, the golem Watchman in the Discworld novel Feet of Clay has numerous similarities to Robocop. Most notably, he lists his three directives as "To Serve The Public Trust, Protect The Innocent, And Seriously Prod Buttock". He also paraphrases some of Weller's lines from the film: "Somewhere, A Crime Is Happening," and "Undead Or Alive, You Are Coming With Me." 

RoboCop was parodied by DC comic antihero Lobo in a special 1994 mini-series called "LoboCop".
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/LoboCop.jpg


Culture

The term RoboCop has become a description of rough justice on various crime. In England, Middlesbrough mayor Ray Mallon is often nicknamed "RoboCop" due to his controversial policy against crime. 

Swedish former ice hockey player Ulf Samuelsson was nicknamed "Robocop" because of his tough playing style.





Only ED-209 (I separate it from the rest)

The ED-209 is referenced several times by The Daily Show and makes appearances in episodes of Family Guy, South Park and The Simpsons. 
http://www.robocoparchive.com/info/cameo1.JPGhttp://www.robocoparchive.com/info/cameo2.JPG


The Protoss Dragoon unit in StarCraft, if clicked on multiple times will quote the warning given to an armed suspect by ED-209: "Drop your weapon; you have fifteen seconds to comply."

The Terran Goliath unit in StarCraft, if clicked on multiple times, mentions "MilSpec ED-209". The unit itself is very similar in appearance to the ED-209.
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/goliath-sc.jpg

The Game Deus Ex features the "Delta-2 Peacebringer" robot that is very similar to the design of ED-209. 

In an episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Joel (Hodgeson) and the Bots, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, during an opening sequence are reciting nighttime prayers "...God bless C-3PO, and God bless ED-209, although I don't know why anyone would make a robot that couldn't walk down stairs..." 

In Age of Empires, a cheat can be used to summon a "Zug 209", which is similar in appearance to the ED-209. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/artuditu/Zug209.gif

iI the videogame Destroy All Humans the drones that patrol the city and attack the player spout out the line "you have 15 seconds to comply".

They spout out the line from the movie "you have 15 seconds to comply". Heres a quick pic.

Well I added the ones you have said, and I also added the ones that Archive had in the site, I even link to the pics from the site: http://www.robocoparchive.com/info/funtoknow.htm

Roboduck actually I was thinking that maybe I should remove the Deus Ex robot that looks to ED-209 since I've seen some pics of it, in fact he is no other thing that a bipedal chicken-walk robot which has fire weapons as arms... I'm not sure we should add every Robot that looks like ED since there has to be hundreds of them... I added goliath from Starcraft because he says a line that references directly ED-209 and the Zug 209 of Age of Empires because the 209 in his name.

Don't know, what do you people think? I remove the Deus Ex robot or we include every robot that is bipedal and has fireweapons as arms?

I just had the misfortune of watching "Dracula 3000" 

It features such forgettable actors as Casper Van Dien, Coolio and some woman from Baywatch. It's a truly horrible movie in every way and should not be watched by anyone.

However, i was VERY surprised to see one of the characters in the movie grab a gun from a display, and the gun happens to be non other than the.... Auto-9!

I have a brand new one to add to the list.  It's pretty small but still...  On the newest Smallville last night Lana was being stalked once again so Lex Luthor's guards have been looking out for her.  Chloe looks out the window, sees the guards, and says something along the lines of, "Well you should be safe with Lex's RoboCops outside."

It was the best part of the episode for me.

But I have one to add to this.

In the Super-Bowl episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Meatwad wins a pair of tickets to the Superbowl in a bag of chips. Meatwad says "It's in Detroit..." he pauses "The home of RoboCop."

I didn't think to add it here before I watched it last week. Then kept forgetting about it till just now.

Another Robocop spin off: AD POLICE anime: file 3.
Manga inspired robocop and then robocop inspired manga.

In this anime,officer Billy Fanword is kill in action. Just like murphy he is ressurected as a cyborg, to fight against robot crime.
But after all this time,Billy feel more like a machine than a man.
Pain, by bitting his tongue, is the only thing to remind him he was once a human being.
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7524/pdvd001ud1.jpg

He doesn't take enough rest, fighting robots more and more violently, ruthlessly.
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1710/pdvd000tv9.jpg

Billy takes drugs to forget his miserable life but in the end it will drive him crazy.
He get berserk and assault the police headquarter before getting shoot.
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7034/pdvd004cu9.jpg

interesting details:
-Billy can have some rest on a check up seat just like RC
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2820/pdvd002fh0.jpg

-During the assault, Billy get out of an elevator. A squadron of policeman wait for him outside and shoot at him, just like in the movie.

Heres Robocop getting another mention in a tv show.

In the UK tv show "Life on Mars" two cops are talking, one asks the other whats his definitions on policing. He replies "Serve the public trust, Protect the innocent, uphold the law". The guy then asks "Training college?" to which he replies "Robocop". Since this show is about a man who travels back to 1973, the other guy doesn't know who Robocop is.

You can get more info and the clip from the show [url=http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/zeorangeruk/tvrobo/tvrobo.htm]HERE

anyhow, in one episode, the main character is fashioned into the 'hammeroid', a robotic police officer.  http://www.phrank.com/sh/season2/210-h.html
 came out the same time as robocop, may have been the first prime-time spoof.

Dammit Pimp, that Robomunk was gonna be one of my mentions, I thought I was the only one who saw that "Attempt" at getting a kiddie story out of Robocop (hell, I used to love Chipmunks, and I thought it was ok for an attempt).

Assuming you know the characters of chipmunks here:

The basic situation was:
Alvin was Robo, 
Britney was Lewis, 
Simon was the head scientist, and 
Theodore was the evil bad guy (more Mcdagget influence than Clarence or Cain).

This is summary is merely based off my memory of the story: 

Alvin is Officer Malone, and arrives in the city, Theodore's character is a snooty yuppy (Mr. Pinkie) and decides to start taking over the city by making a 'literal' mess (as in garbage/filth/vandalism). 

Malone and Violet (the Lewis equivalent) give chase after one of Pinkie's hired gang cars, and Malone is injured in the process (I think they trap him in a junkyard and drop 100's of tires on him or something, either way, he's trapped in a tire and only injured badly, not dead, by the time he reaches the operation stage.)

Meanwhile, Dr. Simonize (Simon) makes a crappy robot to 'clean' up the city (ED-209 equivalent) and it fails. Then when he is pondering about an improvement in his lab, Violet wheels Malone in (still trapped in a tire) and asks for help. The Dr. has a thought and tells Violet to leave so he can fix Malone. 

Next time we see Malone, he is outfitted as Robomunk, and has (no joke) a jet water pistol for an auto 9 (to wipe out vandalism on walls). However, he does arrest heaps of gangs etc.

Pinkie cracks the shits, builds a massive vandal robot (send up of Cain rather than ED-209), this bot beats up Robomunk. He's back in the junkyard where he effectively died as Malone. Violet finds him, he suddenly remembers that he is Malone (his voice changes like in the first Robo movie; from robotic to human), and the two stop Pinkie and the giant robot together, now that Robomunk/Malone is effectively stronger because he remembers who he is.

Ultimately, it's a kiddie sendup of Robo. If you enjoy the differences that the chipmunks had in these "At the movies" series, then you can appreciate it.

ANOTHER PIECE:

SEE POST FURTHER BELOW...
See anything familar about the 3rd Mighty Max toy in that picture? (he's known as Cybot)

I have this toy myself (a black and silver colour scheme rather than Orange/Black), and his arms and legs are a direct copy of ED-209. He has the "EXACT SAME" bird legs that ED-209 has and the two arms (not guns, one is a claw, one is a saw blade) resemble ED's structure a helluva lot.

Resemblence...9/10. Only the head gives the toy a different look.

Robo was parodied in two episodes of Walter Melon. I couldn't find pics, but I remember that one of them was called 'RoboMelon' and was a RoboCop parody. Lewis was called Lose-it.

Wetnight and Thornton are the first to go.  Honestly, they’re only on the list because it’s so devoid of talent.  They both had fairly long careers, and Thornton was known more for his colorful nickname (Robocop) than his play.  Wetnight was always there, but just didn’t stand out.

Hi. 

Do you remember this movie Guyver? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101988/

In this movie young man, find a alien device that 
give's him a super suit when his adrenaline is going up.
In the first scene that he is with this space suit one of the bad guy
point a gun against him and say something similar to:
"You are finished mr. Robocop" or something like 
that , then Guyver (man in suit) take the gun nozzle and curve it 
down, very similar like in scene in the shop when robocop curve it
the submachine gun nozzle of the bad guy. I promise to post a pictures
very soon. 

Guyver is very very good movie for it's time, also have a very decent 
sequiel.

Well here is the reference; Kenny (main character) was waiting for his friend to pick him up but he was late, (he was huffing some paint with some homless guys) and when he finally showed up he had a metallic gray residue around his mouth, so Kenny asks "Did you just blow Robocop?"

this is a really funny show, i recomend it to anyone who has HBO.

@artuditu:

That is very interesting stuff, I think you missed out Music though. One particular track comes to mind:

Kanye West - Robocop (I dont wanna be your Robocop)

http://thisislavie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/kanye-west-robocop.jpg

This image is quite clearly Neca's 18 inch figure and set to sketch feel. Not sure if this is a spoof, but heres another one:

I dont think Kanye got the idea of what Robocop was about. Sure Robocop was a crime fighting cyborg, but he was still a man.

I think his perception of Robo was that he was a simply just a Robot following instructions. I know its just a song, but he makes out like out his dating him?

If you are a strict partner in a relationship, one could be considered "policing" the situation or an arguement. I think he just used the name to hype up his song which may or may no have worked. Personally I wasnt too impressed, but the whole "drop it, drop it" was too cool.

The actual harmony/melody was pretty cool when you hear the strings. The whole "your just an LA girl" is sung badly out of tune. His lyrics arent very articulate either.

I will  post this for second time , sorry for that here is my finding. 


I watched Disney's Duck Tales Episode 
S2E78 (Bubbeo And Juliet). 

In the middle of the episode there is masked party in neighbor of Uncle Scrooge . Then I see that some one is discused like ROBOCOP - is almost 100% same like in Robocop Animated Series. Here is the screen shot. I was really nice surprised by the way. Here is a small screen shot enjoy it. 

 

http://www.divshare.com/img/7898351-669.jpg 

I have a few more references to Robocop but I must remember where is it.

PS. I watch the most stupid movie in the world THE TERMINATORS , the main Terminators in the movie use Robo-9 I will find a screen shot little bit later.

Old topic I guess, but I'm fairly new here.
Anyone ever watch "Ducktales"?
You know, the cartoon with Scrooge McDuck hunting treasures with Hewey, Dewey & Lewey.
Well occasionally there appeared a character called "Gizmo Duck", which
I think looks like Robo more than a bit.
Take a look!

 :D 
http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/5134/gizmovj4.th.jpg

Totally agree with you. Now I watching  this show and the series are great. Gizmo Duck was Called "Robopad" in my country back in the days , I think this is pure reference to Robocop. Also see my previous post.

Btw Duck Tales rules.

Those that watched the Eurovision song contest this Saturday (none) might have noticed the odd RoboCop reference in Spains song.

It was a really strange tune with the chorus part containing this:


Y el chiki chiki se baila asi'

Uno: el brikindans
Dos: el crusai'to
Tres: el maiquelyason
Cuatro: el robocop

Perrea Perrea


Hahahahahhahahahha! :lol: The best Eurovision song ever! "El Chiki Chiki"!!! Was good, all a joke from a late show here, and the actor ended in Eurovision! 

The 4 things are dancing styles (One: Breakdance, Two: Crusaito?, Three: the Michael Jackson, Four: the RoboCop)   :b

Well, maybe not specifically a 'cultural reference', but I thought I'd mention this.

A major online game I used to play, PlanetSide, that I haven't been on for roughly 4 years, has these big Transformers-esque robots you can operate in the game, called BFRs (Battle-Frame Robotics).

They have different designed ones for each of the three empires/sides. The [url=http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/images/f/fb/AphelionPicture.jpg]Vanu Sovereignty one is really the only one that looks anything like what a BFR should, as you'll see.

[url=http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/images/b/bf/NC_Peregrine.jpg]The New Conglomerate one, looks like a bunch of blocks piled on top of each other.

Now, what makes this relevant is the [url=http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/images/4/40/PSScreenShot0322.jpg]Terran Republic one.

I think it has a fair bit of inspiration from a RoboCop character we all know... :roll:

On a related note would it be going too far to say that the Terran sidearm, the 'Repeater' looks kinda [url=http://draxisofwerner.co.uk/ps/guide/repeater.gif]auto-9-ish? :b

Homer then imagines himself giving a speech at the oscars and ED shooting him for taking longer than 20 seconds to give the speech. They also show footage of Ed beating the crap out of an T-800 Endoskeleton.

I discovered this thread on Google, and I'm glad that you mentioned that. I'm a DuckTales fan and I thought that it was so cool to see someone dressed up nearly the same as Robo!

Well occasionally there appeared a character called "Gizmo Duck", which 
I think looks like Robo more than a bit. 
Take a look!

Right. That's the MAIN reason why I liked the cartoon DuckTales so much! DuckTales, Woo Hoo! :D

BTW To answer your question robohell, Fenton Crackshell was actually Scrooge's accountant, and Fenton's alter ego was Gizmoduck and he was Scrooge's security guard for the money bin. Gizmoduck was also Duckburg's rightful defender. All this is explained on my website "Duckburg's Defender" and my website address is on my profile. Enjoy!

There is a show on TruTV, I believe, called "hardcore pawn". It's about a pawn shop in Detroit. I was watching the show last night and noticed the owner of the shop talking to his head of security "Robo". That's right, the head of security at the pawn shop in detroit is called Robo.

Rex Power Colt (Michael Biehn) uses a handgun somewhat similar to the Auto-9, and in-game it fires in burst-mode. There is also the catchphrase "part man, part machine. all cyborg commando" used in the trailer.

5. Dazed and Confused

6. A perfect world

on an episode of pawn stars that I watched today some guy brought in this old huge colt 45 gun and rick said that "this was the gun that RoboCop would have used then". Also some guy came into the store I work at tonight and I didn't hear the conversation that led up to it but I heard him say "I'd buy that for a dollar".

"Remember The Titans"?!
I'm not sure whether to vomit, or just move out of Virginia.

As for Texas, I always associated Pee-Wee's Big Adventure with it, because it's a pretty major stop on his quest to find his bike, and just because I love that film; like Mr. Bean, it's that kinda manchild character, overcoming stressful situations with a childlike whimsy that is such a stark contrast to the cynical way real people would react in stressful situations.

Being a well-known-high-rated classic film though, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is what I would have expected to have seen over Texas.

Oh, and I just noticed, VA also appears to be getting a shroom tattoo from "Pecker"!
To quote "Dirty Harry" Callahan, "Swell."
Hopefully that's the only time I'll type "Dirty Harry", "Pecker" and "shroom tattoo" in the same paragraph.

As per the original topic; artu already mentioned FCBD, so this is just a side-note- another Robocop reference in Far Cry Blood Dragon that is worth noting is the Kobracon, the M82 homage to the Cobra Gun. 

At first it's just a great sniper rifle, but once it's upgraded, it fires the same kind of explosives rounds that can easily ruin Emil's brand new 6000 SUX with the factory sticker on it.

I've long loved to see a shooting game where the guns consist of famous movie weapons, both real stuff and mockups, something like a game version of Last Action Hero or something.. man that would be rad..

Ahem, back to topic, you do indeed see the Auto-9 pop up here and there. It reincarnated as the 'MagSec 4' was one of the many awesome things that made Perfect Dark wonderful. in fact a few of the guns in that game were based off of movie weapons, the Auto-9/MagSec being just one of them.

Kind of obvious one but I'm going to mention it.

In the current Power Rangers series (Mega Force) they have a 6th Ranger named Robo Knight.  

The voice actor is trying to sound like Peter Weller but he's got nothing on Murphy.


Anyway, here's the pic of Knight and the team so make your own conclusion (Pink Ranger got nice legs)

It does look a lot like Weller but it's not.  Unless he totally forgot how to move in the suit. Haha!
Interesting side note: My aunt worked for Arista Records back in the day and they were promoting 'The Kid Goes Wild' along with R2 so Orion sent them one of the hero suits from the movie and her boss wore it at malls and such where they were selling the album.   She watched them put it on him and she said he looked a lot like Weller with it on. So it may be that guy in the video, I don't know.  She brought be a bunch of R2 loot also, those chrome looking badge stickers with Robo's head on it and a VHS copy of the 'Kid Goes Wild' video.   I lost it years ago but recently got a sealed copy of it off eBay.  I win.

Not exactly a 'RoboCop' reference but criminally close here I think.. 

I'm about to watch Criminal Minds, and a re-run of the reboot Hawaii Five-O show is on, which has Peter Weller as the bad guy, In this case a badass ex-Marine scout sniper serial shooter.. He just now taunted the cops over the phone.. man that voice plus being a bad guy.. awesome! 

They also just had a chase sequence with him in a about 10-15 year old Cobra Mustang (last one before the 'retro' restyling) and the cops in their Camaro. At the end the two split into driving parallel around an obstruction with each other, which ended with Weller launching off into the water.. It was very reminiscent of the ending chase with Lewis and Boddicker in R1.. so much that I wonder if it was an intentional nod in some way..

Weller survived plunging into the water. But at the end he unfortunately he got shot off a building. Needless to say I didn't like the show that much. :b

There are 2 large ones in the awesome facebook game, Mutants: Genetic Gladiaters.

The Enforcer

The Enforcer is a big RoboCop reference. 

" This cyborg supercop was retired from active service in the Earthopolis Security force. But in the arena, the fans enjoy its zero tolerance, expeditious judgments and fatal sentencing! "

The basic and bronze look very like Robocop, the silver is original, and the gold looks very like Ironman. The Super Hero Enforcer looks like Superman in a  Ironman suit.

The Goliath

A big bipedal robot that looks like a ED209 or metal gear.

http://mutantsgeneticgladiators.wikia.com/wiki/Goliath

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

There is a big reference in DE: HR

There is this large easter egg.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3BmrDmMTA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWL0Tfaqvq0


Look on his computer after knocking them both out or killing them, also.
The email references the old cinema films.

It's also prophetic, since his rank is Detective Alex Murphy, which is the rank of the new one.

There is also a reference in the detroit LIMB clinic, in a email about Adam Jenson.

The entire game is a reference.

You would not believe how hard it is to find a good video of that easter egg. It's easy to find, but most think it's some secret you've to sneak up on, or some other rubbish.
When sneaking up does the opposite. Even when Adams allowed there, too many times popping up behind them will turn them both hostile.

Power Rangers Megaforce

RoboKnight

He is a odd one. He's a robot. But he is REALLY  like Robocop.
Down to the voice, walk. Story in a way.

When I first saw him, I was a bit baffled. 
I spent the entire time thinking, 'He is REALLY like Robocop.'
'But he's a robot, why would you make a robot a reference to RoboCop, a cyborg.'

He's like a mix of robocop and a eco robot from anime.
Mostly robocop.

I like him, I hope he's in the next series, once it comes to channel 5.

So, there's a porn based on Robocop, affectionately titled 'Robocock', but the guy is wearing a cheap Robocop costume that clearly says 'Robocop' on it. The film is from a company called 'Cum Louder' and stars Karen Bakker. It even goes as far as replicating the classic Robovision and the prime directives. Highly recommended, this is one of my favorite pieces of Robocop fan art.

I just finished reading The Man Without Fear, Frank Miller & John Romita Jr.'s 5 issue Daredevil origin epic which came out in 1993. At the end of the last issue Romita talks a bit about the creative process, which started in 1987, and at one point mentions waiting around for Miller's scripts because he was working on Robocop 2. It's not much for a reference but it reminded me of how Miller would hang around the set everyday even though he didn't have any real reason for being there. Funny to think about Romita eagerly waiting for him to send him the Daredevil scripts while he was just standing around waiting for a cameo.

The RoboCop tease in Bob's Burgers happened this last Sunday.  The episode is in three parts, like a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, and the first tells a story of Bob dying and being brought back to life as a policeman with a robotic moustache, going by the name of RoboStache.  He looks pretty much human, but there are many nods to RoboCop.  His POV is the same, he was Prime Directives with a hidden Fourth Directive, his chambers are designed after Robo's chambers in the police station, there's a giant model of a proposed Delta City like amusement park.  All in all pretty funny with some great nods to the original film.

"The Goldbergs" - season 3, episode 6:

Adam shows off his and his mom's matching Halloween costumes. One of them is Adam as RoboCop and his mom as ED-209.
At the end of the episodes Beverly puts on the ED-209 costume again, falls over next to a flight of stairs and says: "Help your mom!! You've got 30 seconds to comply!"

Though, earlier, she says "Omnicorp" instead of "OCP".

A very strong reference. As strong as you could possibly get. With Colossus. My favorite X man since I played the arcade game as a young lad.

Not a cameo, but a use of RoboCop sound effects:
In the movie "Zeiram" (1991), around the 1-hour mark, the sound effects from Robo's initial boot-up are used as signal interference and later on, when Zeiram is in its skeletal form, they use some of ED-209's sound effects as well.

OG Robo marathon on Sundance, honoring movies that are basically great shit.

Otherwise, Conan's stock went down a couple points because he made fun of Weller's voice and nearly sullied what was otherwise a fantastically hilarious Clueless Gamer vid.

In the "Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady" 3-parter of the 2012 TMNT animated series, Bebop & Rocksteady go into a sort of security vault full of movie and cartoon memorabilia and among those are the Auto-9 and the RoboCop helmet with chin guard.

I was just watching "A Cure for Wellness" movie, and around minute 55 there is a childhood flashback of the main character where he is playing with a Robocop toy.

"The action figure the boy was playing with in the flashback was Robocop."

Looks like a McFarlane figure?

The left hand gives it away. That is a 6" McFarlane.

I wouldn't consider this a spoiler so.... RoboCop is shown as a players avatar emerging from the spawn location in 'Ready Player One'. Also the race in the movie takes place in Delta City! Very awesome!

Attended a Deadpool 2 fan screening last week (more as a seat filler than a true fan myself!). Can't give away any plot details, but there is a small and nice Robo reference in the dialogue.

If you liked the first one you should like the second one too by the way, IMHO :p
