In a violent, near-apocalyptic Detroit, evil corporation Omni Consumer Products wins a contract from the city government to privatize the police force. To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype. But when RoboCop learns of the company's nefarious plans, he turns on his masters.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The bad guy’s name is Dick Jones. The super killer robot is defeated by a flight of stairs. A man falls in a vat of toxic waste and is instantly turned into a mutant fish creature thing and THEN he’s hit by a car and is instantly liquefied like he’s a human water balloon.
God, I love Paul Verhoeven.
Out of all the amazing, perfect things in this, by far the coolest is that the leader of the hardest gang in Detroit is a balding, middle-aged white guy with glasses who looks like a high school principal, and it totally works. Clarence Boddicker 4 Life. The GOAT movie villain.
Make sure if you can to get the extended "Director's Cut" which only features an extra gloriously gratuitous 10-15 seconds of that OCP executive getting absolutely shredded by gunfire. Trust me, it's worth it.

"When people jerk me off, I kill them!"
Masterpiece. Looks great, score rules, satire is absolutely on point all the way down. That employee's excitement as their boss is about to be shot through the window. "Lee Iacocca Elementary School" as a throwaway detail. I'd buy that for $3.99 with a 30-day window to start watching with a 48-hour period before expiring upon pressing play!
I like when the robot fell down the stairs
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Whenever I hear people say this is dated I want to slap the nonsense out of them. A company that profits on privatized public sectors taking over a bankrupt Detroit in order to pave the way for an ultra-gentrified wealth haven? This shit could have been made yesterday, and I bet the new one won't feel half as relevant the weekend it comes out as this does 27 years later.
I like when Robocop goes to the club
An inspiring tale of how a handicapped man returns to, and excels in, the workforce.
Reagan era economics, corporate privatization of public services, and of course militarization of police wrapped into an ultraviolent sleazy pulp satire—that this is still as politically relevant as ever is terrifying.
The Soul of Man Under Capitalism
I've seen this a million times, as all Americans should be required to by law, but on this viewing, I realized what's the best shot in the movie. While Robo is drilling Dick Jones with a million bullets, the camera cuts away to Bob Morton's middle-manager buddy ("tastes like baby food" guy) getting out of his chair, grinning. Sure, he's happy the guy who killed his friend is getting what for, but he's also anticipating Jones' vacancy in the corporate hierarchy. Cannibals, All!
Because this is a re-telling of the story of Jesus Christ, it counts as Christmas movie.
No matter how many times I see this, it's still one of my absolute favorite movies. I still pump my fist in the air when Emil gets melted by toxic waste or when the OCP executive gets shredded by the ED 209, and I still giggle like a child when Boddicker sniffs that guy's wine--The Tigers are playing TO-NIGHT. As grotesque and hilarious as this movie is, it doesn't get enough credit for its beauty and the real tragedy of a man's soul being pulled through the ether and past death to become corporate "product." A lesser movie would be all about Murphy getting back to his wife and kid, but the fact that he doesn't really regain his humanity but merely a small piece of it, makes it all the more powerful.
