RoboCop Observations

[DarthVader1]

Not sure if it was discussed before, but ROBO's gun (without the extra stuff, the actual M93R before modification), you see it hanging on the wall to the left on the gun and arms store robbery scene in Robo 2 or 3, I can't remember which one, though.

Yup. One of Hob's men also holds an unmodded Beretta 93R on the Mayor as well. The standard Beretta 93R pops up here and there in movies, moreso than our special badass version.

I had not noticed this until a friend of mine pointed it out, and it is quite an odd piece.
Just when Dr Faxx enters the civic center at the end of RoboCop, she quickly pass a guy in a wheel chair.

I'm gonna assume it's a reporter, and i suppose it is meant to show that OCP doesn't care about "the weak" by having no way for the wheelchair to go down to the others....??

Hmm, interesting point, J. And good idea about making this into a new topic. This could turn into something.

I don't get it, why didn't they keep and use Robo's gun after Cain's gang took him apart?

Well said, J. They might have taken the gun.. we're never really sure I think. All we know is that RoboCop has an Auto-9 when he is brought back on-duty - we don't know for certain if it's the same gun. However if they did keep it, again, they've got plenty of firearms and perhaps, as Johan said, they could not use it (ala the 'Prime Suspect' story).

Now an obvious but notable observation is the police cars portrayed in RoboCop. Modern cops now drive around in smaller 'jelly-bean' cars much like the Taurus (Indeed, Ford is replacing the Crown Vic with the Taurus for it's standard 'Police Interceptor').

Of course, that was a bit radical in 1986, when fairly large box-bodied rear-drive V8 Caprices and Diplomats were the norm but 25 years later, you look all around and police drive exactly those cars - dark-colored, strobe-lit, jelly-beans.



(Actual Present-Day police cars)


Of course, police themselves are more like what RoboCop portrays which is also obvious but notable (as well as disturbing). Still, had to be said of course.

I think Robo's gun is just too heavy to carry and properly aim for a human being. In short, for people its impractical

This is off the top of my head, so I may be wrong. But in the 3rd movie, when they go underground. They pull the tracker out of his back, but in the very next scene and onward, you can still see it if I remember correctly.

Neat thread.....

I got one. In R3, as the guard with the semi-auto machine pistol is running up to the door to bust in on Dr Lazarus... Why doesn't he just ask the guard to simply open the door? I'm sure he has the code. Plus!

Wouldn't that guy hear everything she and Niko had been saying? OCP Security must have laxed their Hiring Policies for people who require Security Clearance.
