What DIDN'T you like about Robocop 1?

[Primrose Lane]

Let's change the status quo around here! Is there anything you didn't like about the movie, or wish they did/didn't do?

For me, I read a little item in the script that I wish they kept. It was during the gas station scene with Emil, and after the explosion, the "S" in "SHELL" is apparently blown out, leaving Robocop walking through the flames with the word "HELL" shining behind him in faded neon. Just seems like such a cool touch for the context of the film.

As for something I didn't like in the film itself, I wish that Steve Minh made it through the movie and died a more brutal death in the steel mill showdown with the rest of the guys, as he was one of the original core gang members who murdered Murphy, and he didn't quite get the comeuppance that the others got.

Yeah, the "Hell" thing is very vaguely in the movie, but not really noticeable. It's a missed opportunity for sure. The whole walking through the gates of hell and all that would have been a cool thing to be more visable.

Also, it always buggs me how easily they let Robo go out into the city on his own. After some basic tests, recording, targeting etc and shooting the gun they just throw him some car keys and let him drive around on his own. You'd think they would have least have a supervisor or a partner with him for the first night.

I don't like the weapon choices for ordinary police or SWAT units.

Still about DPDs SWAT: it was very cartoonish represented in the movie, while they solve an stand-of waving shotguns to the long range window, or negotiate with bullhorns. No sniper support were available, no entry teams were placed near the siege room. The suspect was alone in there, there was no real need for a "RoboCop" to take him out.

I can see why Verhoeven chose to do this way, its a ironic approach, a parody of the real world police and how they handle situations. I still really like it. It's epic how Robo enters though the wall and punch the subject.

I never heard of the hell sign with the gas station blowing up.

This does seem very cool. Right when the humanity is starting to come back for Robo he walks through the fucking fires of hell! That is an amazing and awesome concept that I have never thought of in that scene. Fuck, it blows my mind really.

My respect, love, and appreciation for this work of art just keeps building over the years. I really don't think the movie will ever be topped for me.

If there was anything I would change about the movie it would just be asthetic crap. Like Dick Jones falling at the end I would like to see redone, made to not look like a claymate long armed ape in a suit falling from the building. Maybe another cut scene of the body landing on the remains of the ED or something like that.

The rest of the stop mo in the movie is great. But that fall just looks like shit. I fucking hate seeing it at the end. And everybody I have watched it with has laughed at that part. I'm all for laughing at violence and the like, but this laugh is out of place. I wish that cheesy looking scene wasn't the near-end of this movie. But "Murphy" redeems it in the end of course. Just think that fall could be redone.

Nah, it's a promotion photo/lobby card.
I carefully watched the explosion scene and it can VERY vaguely be seen if you know what you look for.

I get the feeling that they deliberately chose to skip it though. Shell oil probably would not have liked the whole hell thing.

As I type this, the 'Hell' picture is the random picture on the forum index.

Coincidence, or something more menacing?

Never knew about the Hell thing either, well whaddya know. As for what I dont like, I tried to think of something but couldnt really find anything. About one thing that always bothered me is Robo's VERY clearly visible neck. I dont know why they didnt add two extra rings to cover it up

I noticed the hell thing upon watching the movie again after playing Park's magnificent Robocop 2D.

i wish they would've kept the original opening with the attack of Officer Fredrickson and his partners by Boddicker and Co...i know it was scripted (and talked about/shown a bit on MediaBreak) ,but i don't know if the actual scene was ever filmed....
