What does Sup Forums think of RoboCop 2?

...

Underrated. Very fun.

solid sequel, 7/10

>mfw i lost the account

>Hated it

this, even after they edited out Cain's heads-up display that resembled the old Apple screen - they replaced the Apple logo with a skull.

was it just me, or was Cain supposed to resemble Philip K Dick?

It's a great movie but Sup Forums is full of youngfag poofs now so they probably don't like it.

Pretty good for what it was. Suffered from not having the iconic theme. A number of cynical and mean-spirited decisions and portrayals did exist but, ignoring those, and if you focus on just Robocop, its still a pretty good movie.

Now Robocop 3, now thats when the ball really dropped. ....But even that movie had its good points

...

>....But even that movie had its good points

Flying robocop was not one of them.

>A number of cynical and mean-spirited decisions and portrayals did exist but, ignoring those
your problem with those being?

I've only seen the first movie.

Does the sequel address how the last movie ended with Murphy taking off the helmet and reclaiming his name? Or does he just slap the helm back on and return to monotone?

watch it and find out faggot

its an affront to the original but, still not as bad as part 3

better than 3

not anywhere near 1 obv

it's not bad, fun '80s/'90s romp

>Or does he just slap the helm back on and return to monotone?

That's exactly what happens. In fact ALL the sequels do that.

One of the few kid actors in a movie I actually liked.

they goin kick somebody ass

C'mon user. Wasn't it badass to see Robocop, in a jetpack, mowing down Nazis? Especially when it helped turn the tide of the battle? Its like that scene from the Dark Knight Returns, but done in the 90s

Its tough. Consider the following

- the movie ignores Murphy's regained Humanity at the end of the first movie. An entire journey, negated, to make Murphy go back to being "robotic" and emotionless towards his wife (there is a good explanation for this, though)

- the "old man" goes from being reasonable in the first movie to being more money oriented and even prone to corruption in the sequel.

- said "old man" is also now a Nazi (note the OCP banner at the end of the movie)

- liberal use of children being literal shits, something the first movie avoided (not saying kids are innocent, but damn, this movie really made children looked demonic)

>about to rape her

Robocop 2 is kino

>ALL
kill yourself kid

Cocaine being replaced with "Nuke" always ground my gears

It gave the whole affair such a Saturday morning cartoon vibe, like we can have eviscerations but we can't have "real" drugs

The kid was annoying as shit. His plot didn't need to exist.

Them undoing the end of Robocop (and, I guess by some argument, the whole team of the movie) by having Alex go back to totally lacking humanity was a lazy choice. It was just a dumb way for them to revisit the "Robocop gets objectives he doesn't like, he has to override them to become himself again" plot.

They got a little too confident in thinking how much stop motion work they could get away with.

Overall, though, it's an enjoyable movie. It's got a lot of memorable scenes and it's a pretty easy watch. But the dumb stuff that makes it enjoyable is also mildly insulting to the original.

All of this just comes down to you being some youngfag sissy. fuck it.

but there was a nuke for every mood, coke doesn't have variety like that.

I only now realized that there is a reflection of Kain on his helmet.

Decent sequel, but it didn't need edgelord kid in it.

Every RoboCop movie is three points out of ten lower than the one before it. Think about it.

Not as good as the first one, but still good.

For some reason all the "prototype robocop 2" sequences really unsettled me. I still often skip that sequence the moment I see those damn doors when watching the film. Dunno, it just hits a real what-a-disturbing-concept note with me.

Nuke was meant to be a future drug. Its like a super-cocaine. Or a super-meth

Why were they all so shitty looking compared to Murphy?

Was Bob Morton a genius?

>I still often skip that sequence the moment I see those damn doors when watching the film. Dunno, it just hits a real what-a-disturbing-concept note with me.
I hate how all you kids are little faggots now.

>tfw no white noise.

>Why were they all so shitty looking compared to Murphy?
It was intentional.

>Was Bob Morton a genius?
More likely Bob had a bunch of talented scientists under his belt which I bet Dick Jones threw out the door after Bob's death because he seem liked that petty of a character. At least that's my guess.

It's been a while but I don't remember Murphy having lost all his humanity in this before he gets all fucked up with the directive reprogramming. Yeah, his helmet is back on but he needs that to aim efficiently. I'm sure everyone on the PD is even calling him Murph or Murphy at this point, not just Lewis. The public calls him RoboCop because that's all they know and OCP does too but they still view him as their product.

He doesn't smile though, like at the end of the first movie, that's true.

the old man was a likable reaganlike figure in the original. neither good nor bad, he was just the old man, who as Dick Jones noted "means well", but wont be around forever.

in 2 he's an immoral cartoonish villain who you can practically see the mustache on. In 1, the death of Kenny in the boardroom is played for satire, because literally nobody in OCP cares for life, (hence Bod Morton literally restructures DPD to get a victim for his project) but it was much better handled than in 2.

this guy
mentions Murphey's regained Humanity being ignored, but I disagree. if nothing else, it simply suffers from not being explored better.

He regained his humanity, but he's still never going to actually be a normal human again. So its a hollow victory.

There's a brilliant deleted scene where Robocop is walking down a hallway at the precinct and sees a female officer taking a shower. he pauses and watches her for a bit silently and emotionlessly, before continuing on his way.

if nothing else, Robocop 2 is missed potential to explore that angle of Murphy. That he can never have a normal life despite his regained humanity. I wouldnt say the movie negates that, it just doesnt do enough with it either way.

children being little shits is a bit of a dumb scene. The original movie was well done satire. You could believe it as a "near future" detroit.

but little league kids robbing a store was just silly.

t. edgelord

It SURE WAS, OP !

a little silly with the nuke and the names (attorney Sphincter or something), but genuinely terrifying body horror, good stop motion battle, good Weller and Allen and Caine-guy, also Frank Miller. It also really brought the corporate control element

Better than the first one imo tbҺ fαm smҺ

Robocop 2 is almost as good as the first, although for different reasons. 3 can go fuck itself as it has zero redeeming qualities.

3 was bad, mostly because PG-13, but the corporate army, the japanese cyborg, the gun arm, RJB filling big shoes well, and good supporting (Root, CCH Pounder, Nix) are all reasons that it shouldn't be totally discarded, It's le turn brain/taste off really

I really wish they went with the old script. It wasn't the best, but it was leagues better than whay we got. Kek, it was good enough to be adapted as a comic twice, at least.

I assumed Dick Jones was trying to do this thing on a budget and didn't really feel that passionate about it other than the potential money they could make

whereas Bob invested money, had talented people working, and was very exuberant about the project

I know people will call me a RLM shill but that "Better get our best spin people on it." line was fucking genius

The latter

Decent action and I liked the new suit.

It's a Sci-fi movie that takes place in the future...

They featured cocaine in the first film

it was really the PG-13 more than anything. Robert John Burke did nothing wrong. He's very Weller-esque. I should read FM's Robocop. I've had it on the backburner for eons

The only part of RoboCop 3 I kind of like is when he is chasing after the bad guys that are in a van and he is in this pink pimp mobile that is getting demolished bit by bit by a grenade launcher but it keeps going and going until it's this rolling, smoking heap of completely stripped down trash. And then the theme music kicks in.

the samurai bots were genuinely creepy, the kid really tanked that movie

>cut it with scopolamine
for some reason that stuck in my memory as well

His entire manner of speech is different

>That scene where cain and crew cut open the crooked cop while he's tied up on the hospital bed and still conscious
Was there deleted content from that scene or something? It seemed out of place and dark compared to the rest of the movie. It did succeed in making me feel uneasy though.

>"you said you were just gonna scare him"
>"doesn't he look scared?"

In a different movie these could have been cool. Or this movie but made better.

>tfw never noticed it before

frank miller ? nice one

The lack of Basil Poledouris is probably my biggest problem with it. I don't like that they basically hit a reset button on Murphy but I get it.

>ywn never have a qt 3.14 whore euthenize you and feed your bare exposed nervous system to a mix of pure herioin and cocaine

why even live familam ?

back in... "healthier" times

nuke is no joke

Brendan's got nothing on Frank

CainBots design was one of the better robot villians ever put to film.

a stop-motion Cain feels more alive to me than a cg anything, m'lady

5mls per

I wish I could find a pic of Cain's face after he says that

best I can do on short notice

...

>(attorney Sphincter or something)
Shyster, but Sphincter is just as good

stop bullying john lennon

>when the nuke hits your disembodied spinal cord and brain just right

I'm telling you, watch the film, there is a sphincter in there too, aside from Shyster which you are right about. They say it in a Mediawatch

I love you

Oh, then I'll need to check for that next time I watch, was it the Surgeon General maybe?

y-you too, user

councilman or something, I dunno, based Kirsh like it so it's okay by me

>wrote Holy Terror
I'm amazed Sup Forums and Sup Forums don't talk about Miller Time more. That book is like a Frank Miller pamphlet on Radical Islam.

Sup Forums used to talk about him, but it's more cartoons than comics these days. Could really use a schism

What to expect from original writer of Robocop?

I'm so tired. Let Murphy die. He should have died in 3, a better 3

>What to expect from original writer of Robocop?
studio interference

even though verhoven is done with hollywood could some duch bros finance it ?

>robocop in paris and calais blowing away curtutral enrichment ?
>fighting a huge robot bot with the exhumed brain of rockefeller ?

id buy that for dollar !

How closely did Verhoven follow the original script?

holy shit that director made Empire

you have been muted for three hours for your ignorance, but welcome to the party

Watched it more than Robocop 1 because I had it on VHS

>not samurai robots

Robocop without Weller is trash.

it featured a pretty cool obscure gun

holy shit, that was real?

please kill yourself

disguised folding submachineguns have been around since the 80s
they never really became popular or otherwise successful but it's a fun idea nevertheless
the newest proof of concept that never went into production was essentially a clock in a box (fmg-9)

that specific one is so cool though, I think its blue in the film

...

can't tell, like a violet or dark blue maybe

It's very strange. It has all of the ingredients of the original, but there is just something "off" about it - it's one of the meanest, must debased studio films ever released. The humor falls flat because it's just unrelentingly nihilistic and unpleasant. It's still entertaining in it's own way though.

It's a very unusual sequel in that it's the complete opposite of what most shitty sequels are (see Part 3), where they dilute the edge to try and appeal to a wider audience. This did the opposite - but it didn't work. It turned everything up to be as edgy as possible. It's like the original struck that perfect balance, and this just went way too far.

Why do they always use live ammo, when testing robots?
