00:00 I think the character is a modern knight in armor.

00:09 The idea of landing a superhero within the consciousness of western civilization.

00:15 The vision that came to me that there was this overlay of the American Jesus.

00:22 There's a sincere purity about his goals and yet he promises action.

00:27 What are your prime directives?

00:30 Serve the public good.

00:32 Protect the innocent.

00:35 Uphold the law.

00:37 RoboCop, who is he?

00:39 What is he? Where did he come from?

00:44 We wanted to grab people by the throat.

00:48 We were so on target.

00:50 The movie is so precise.

00:53 Who really made it a masterpiece I think is Paul Verhoeven.

00:57 Verhoeven mantra was "blood, I want more fucking blood."

01:03 You know, shoot him up and blow it up.

01:06 Bloody it up.

01:08 They were putting more squibs in my body than anyone in film history.

01:13 I always thought the gang as guys that were having fun.

01:17 Can you fly, Bobby?

01:18 I said, "This guy's a real sadistic bastard."

01:21 But he enjoys it.

01:23 Being part of a gang and being a badass, how many kids want to play that?

01:27 Your move, creep.

01:30 All I remember is a wall of flame coming straight at me.

01:34 People are all like, "Ahh!"

01:36 We just did some stuff that you wouldn't do as a professional actor.

01:39 I like it!

01:42 Peter Weller was very serious.

01:44 That are all eyes, you're coming with me.

01:46 He's one of the most disciplined people I've ever met in my life.

01:49 Murphy, it's you.

01:51 One of the greatest challenges I've ever had in my entire life to make that work.

01:55 Definitely the best robot suit ever.

01:58 The chest will be the first thing to react.

02:01 And then the neck, and then the head.

02:05 Almost every sound in RoboCop was created and recorded originally for the picture.

02:11 Stop motion adds to the effect of robots.

02:13 You can infuse it with a certain mechanical look.

02:15 I'm now authorized to use deadly force.

02:18 Drop it!

02:20 RoboCop was a very difficult shoot.

02:23 I can blow this cocksucker's head off.

02:25 I don't think anybody had a good time on that picture.

02:28 It was non-stop.

02:31 The MPAA changed rules after that movie.

02:33 The whole film was pretty much in danger.

02:35 They're going to shut us down.

02:37 He felt that he was betrayed.

02:39 I was dead.

02:40 You're going to be a bad motherfucker.

02:43 Mixing politics and action,

02:45 I think we got there first.

02:48 Wow, this is different than anything I'd ever seen.

02:51 Get them before they get you.

02:52 It's a great satire.

02:53 Future seeing in a way, and people got a kick out of that.

02:56 I'm sure it's only a glitch.

02:57 Real sophisticated comedy.

02:59 I'd buy that for a dollar.

03:04 Ryan was in financial trouble.

03:06 They immediately wanted to do another one.

03:10 The film took a radical turn.

03:12 It was not the original script.

03:14 It was dark.

03:15 There was a meanness about it.

03:17 It was really scary to me.

03:21 This brother is not dying in the first 15 minutes.

03:24 Some of our humanity is being squeezed out of us by technology.

03:32 There was a lot more blood, sweat, and tears back in the day.

03:36 As digital technology was taking over more and more,

03:39 we had to get into digital effects too.

03:42 There is a family dynamic that's kind of unique.

03:45 It's not pretty in real life, but playing a character, it's fun.

03:50 Whoa, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

03:53 I mean, I was a kid.

03:54 What the hell is that?

03:58 I mostly made fun of him being in the suit.

04:01 What's bugging you, Murph?

04:02 Kane's bugging me.

04:06 Kane was the Swiss Army knife robot.

04:10 This idea that this was coming from a comic book writer

04:13 to try to bring some of that comic pulp feel to it.

04:18 Orion had licensed the character to comic books, toys, the animated series.

04:24 It had a kind of eye candy to kids.

04:27 By the time you have the third film, the studio said to me,

04:30 "We're looking for a kinder, gentler RoboCop."

04:35 It was the most amazing thing to open up Ed 209

04:39 and control him with a laptop.

04:41 Eat lead suckers.

04:44 I'm playing this ninja, but I have no martial arts background.

04:47 You called for backup?

04:48 Wait a minute, that's my voice.

04:50 Holy f---.

04:52 Where's McDaniel?

04:54 You fantasize that you could be a genocidal maniac.

04:57 Don't count on it, chum.

04:59 They're going to kill her.

05:00 I just knew they were going to do that.

05:01 I was so upset.

05:02 Get them for me.

05:03 If I'd done all the crazy stuff that I was afraid to do,

05:06 like kill Nancy and have her come back as a cyborg,

05:08 the movie probably would have done pretty well.

05:10 I think my dentist saw it before I did.

05:13 We're cutting edge here, baby RoboSupply.

05:19 RoboCop is an icon.

05:21 People relate to it to this day.

05:23 Today's world needs a RoboCop.

05:25 This is a guy who's going to show up and do the job.

05:28 A wonderful, unique hero.

05:30 That's the lightning in the bottle.

05:32 Every successive generation discovers it for themselves.

05:34 So I think there's an ongoing fascination.

05:37 That keeps him relevant.

05:38 Stay out of trouble.

05:40 RoboCop.
