  • Casting

    • Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Ironside, Rutger Hauer, Tom Berenger, Armand Assante, Keith Carradine and James Remar were considered for the role of Robocop.

    • Orion favored Schwarzenegger but was thought that Schwarzenegger would look like the Michelin Man or Pillsbury Doughboy.

    • Others were reluctant because their face would be largely concealed by a helmet.

    • Davison said that Weller was the only person who wanted to be in the film.

    • Stephanie Zimbalist was cast as Murphy’s partner Anne Lewis but dropped out because of contractual obligations to Remington Steele

  • Themes

    • Power of corporations – corruption & greed
      • “We are now living in the world that I was proposing in RoboCop (1987)…how big corporations will ‘take care of us’ and…how they won’t.” ~ Edward Neumeier
    • Transformation – Coping with transformation & how much is needed to still be Murphy/still have a soul.
    • Jesus Allagory (Verhoeven has stated that he sees the character as a futuristic version of Christ):
      • Crucifixion – Shot in the hand/Death at the factory
      • Crown of Thorns – The bullet to Murphy’s head
      • Resurection – Rebuilt after death leading to a resurrection
      • Walk on Water – At the steel mill.
      • Garden of Eden – Robocop returning to his home
      • Water To Wine – Boddicker’s blood at the climax of the film turns the water red

  • Trivia

    • RoboCop’s costume was not finished until sometime into filming.

    • Most shots of Robocop and the police car show him getting out or preparing to get in. Peter Weller didn’t fit into the police car in full costume. When he needed to be in the car, he wore the top part of the costume and sat in his underwear. To maintain the illusion that RoboCop wears the entire suit while inside a car, most shots show his robotic feet exiting first.

    • The RoboCop suit was so hot and heavy that Peter Weller was losing 3 lbs a day from water loss. Eventually, an air conditioner was installed in the suit.

    • The screenplay had been offered to, and rejected by, virtually every big director in Hollywood before Paul Verhoeven got hold of it. He threw it away after reading the first pages, convinced it was just a dumb action movie. His wife, Martine, read it all the way through and convinced him that the story was layered with many satirical and allegorical elements, leading Verhoeven to direct the film.

    • In Sacramento, California, a robbery suspect fled into a darkened movie theatre to escape pursuing police. He became so engrossed in this movie, which was playing on screen, that he failed to notice that police had evacuated all other patrons from the theatre. When the lights flipped on, the stunned man was taken into custody.

    • When in full RoboCop costume, Peter Weller would remain in character between takes, only responding to director Paul Verhoeven’s instructions when properly addressed as “Robo.” Verhoeven found this too funny to take seriously and dropped this after a couple of weeks.

    • The special effects were generated with a Commodore Amiga computer.

    • The RoboCop suit was designed by Rob Bottin and his team. The production team wasn’t satisfied with the initial design, and kept changing it and putting additions to it for months. Ultimately, nothing seemed to work and they went back to what was pretty much Bottin’s original design.

    • Production was halted early on so that Weller and his mime coach, Moni Yakim, could learn how to move in the suit.

    • It took almost 10 months of preparation for the construction of the RoboCop suit. Life casts of Peter Weller and 6-foot clay models created by Rob Bottin were used to design and construct the suit. The RoboCop suit was the most expensive item on set. While the price range varies, the producers indicated that they spent anywhere between US$500,000 to US$1 million for the suit.

    • Edward Neumeier came up with the idea for RoboCop after he had helped out on the set of Blade Runner (1982), which was about cops hunting robots that looked like humans in the future. Intrigued, Neumeier turned the scenario around into a future where a cop looking like a robot would be hunting human criminals.

    • According to Paul Verhoeven’s commentary on the Criterion Edition DVD, an additional Media Break was filmed and completed for the film. Most notably, it featured footage of Lewis hospitalized and recovering, assuring the audience that she did not die nor would become “Bride of RoboCop”, as many speculated.

    • Seven RoboCop suits were used throughout the movie. Out of the seven, one of them had special safeguards and fireproof fiberglass to help the stuntman perform the gas station scene. Another two were used exclusively during the third act of the movie where Robocop gets damaged from the ED-209 and the Detroit Police Department. There was no ‘one suit’ as most people would think, but actually more than one, each fragile and easily destroyed during filming.

    • COMIC CAMEO: In addition to Iron Man (1966), the comic book “ROM” is also seen in the mom-and-pop store, the storyline of which involves a hero sacrificing his human body and having his mind placed into a robot in order to save his people. In the scene where Murphy’s son Jimmy watches TJ Lazer on TV in a flashback, issue 41 of ROM can be seen on the floor at his feet.

    • RoboCop’s first Directive, “Serve the public trust”, was inspired by a fortune cookie.

    • The hostage scene where a former city council member holds the mayor and his staff hostage was based on a real-life crisis where former San Francisco supervisor Dan White wanted his old job back. The character is also seen eating Baby Ruth bars – as homage to White’s 1979 conviction of involuntary manslaughter where diminished capacity was used, known in legal terms as the “Twinkie Defense.”

    • Peter Weller turned down a role in King Kong Lives (1986) to star in this film.

    • Plans for a “Terminator vs Robocop” film have been on and off in the works since 1990. Although no movie has yet to be made with the crossover, several video games and comic books have been released based on the idea, making the project one of the most anticipated crossovers of all time.

    • The organic food paste that Robocop eats was actually made up of parsnip, tomato purée and crushed butterfinger bars.

    • One of the themes of Robocop was a futuristic bankruptcy of Detroit. Robocop premiered on July 17th, 1987 (the 32nd anniversary of the opening of Disneyland) and the City of Detroit, Michigan, filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy on July 18, 2013.

    • RoboCop’s look was inspired by the Japanese comic The 8 Man and the first Metal Hero Space Sheriff Gavan (1982).

    • Paul Verhoeven’s antagonistic style didn’t go down very well with his cast and crew. Peter Weller later said that this the first time he ever considered having a fist-fight with his director.

    • To save money, Orion tried to cut the scene of Murphy/RoboCop returning to his house because it didn’t involve a key action scene.

    • The company that makes Robocop is named OCP, which is the word “cop” rearranged.

    • DIRECTOR CAMEO: Paul Verhoeven: wildly gesticulating guy in the dance club immediately after Leon tries to kick RoboCop in the crotch. This remains Verhoeven’s only on-screen cameo in his career.

    • The trauma team portrayed in the movie trying to save Murphy was a real hospital trauma team. Their dialogue was mostly ad-libbed.

    • While filming Bob Morton’s death scene, Miguel Ferrer and Kurtwood Smith began cracking up because while directing the scene, Paul Verhoeven referred to all the actors in-character. This meant he addressed the actresses playing the prostitutes as “bitches”.

    • IMPROVISED LINE: In the scene after RoboCop arrests Clarence Boddicker and brings him into the precinct, Kurtwood Smith improvised the line, “Just give me my fucking phone call.”

    • One scene that was scripted, but not featured in the film is a fourth Media Break sequence in which Brixby Snyder, a parody of Benny Hill whose running line is “I’d buy that for a dollar!”, is forcibly arrested on allegations of receiving sexual favors from under aged co-stars. The scene would have taken place after RoboCop’s reply to the Old Man’s question, but the decision was made to instead end the film after Murphy’s reply because Director Paul Verhoeven felt the scripted ending was “more of a punch-line than a climax”. As a result, there is no dialog mentioning the names of Brixby Snyder or his program “It’s Not My Problem” in the film.

    • When Murphy stabs Boddicker in the throat, he uses the same hand that Boddicker shot off.

Clarence Boddicker: I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not making myself clear. I don't want to fuck with you, Sal, but I got the connections. I got the sales organization. I got the muscle to shove enough of this factory so far up your stupid wop ass that you'll shit snow for a year.

RoboCop: Yes, I am a cop.

RoboCop: Let the woman go. You are under arrest.

Creep's Buddy: Shit!

[RoboCop draws his gun]

Creep's Buddy: You... you better back-up, pal! 'Cuz... he's gonna kill her. He... he is gonna kill her!

RoboCop: Your move, Creep.

Creep: [on the ground howling in pain and holding his bleeding groin] Oooow! Ooow! Ooooow!

Creep's Buddy: [simultaneously, while surrendering] Okay, okay, it's okay!

Rape Victim: Oh, God. I was so scared. Thank you. Oh, thank you.

RoboCop: Madam, you have suffered an emotional shock. I will notify a rape crisis center.

Keva Rosenberg Unemployed Person: It's a free society - except there ain't nothin' free, because there's no guarantees, you know? You're on your own. It's the law of the jungle. Hoo-hoo.

RoboCop: [dragging Leon Nash by the hair] Let's talk.

RoboCop: [after stabbing Clarence] Lewis! Lewis!

Officer Lewis: [looking up] Murphy... I'm a mess...

RoboCop: They'll fix you. They fix everything.

RoboCop: [seeing Emil drawing his machine gun on him and draws his own gun] Drop it!

[Emil walks backwards]

RoboCop: Dead or alive, you're coming with me.

[Emil realizes who RoboCop really is, for he had heard that statement earlier]

Emil: I know you. You're dead! We killed you!

[starts running and firing at RoboCop]

Emil: We killed you!

[Bob Morton has stormed off]

Officer Lewis: Sorry, Sarge. I fucked up.

Sgt. Reed: Forget it, kid. This guy's a serious asshole.

RoboCop: Murphy had a wife and son. What happened to them?

Officer Lewis: Well, after the funeral... she moved away.

RoboCop: Where did they go?

Officer Lewis: She thought you were dead. She started over again.

RoboCop: I can feel them... but I can't remember them.

[Lewis extends her arm to comfort Murphy]

RoboCop: Leave me alone.

Bob Morton: What the fuck are you doing? Do you know who I am? If you think you're gonna get away with this, you got another thing... Ahh!

[Clarence Boddicker shoots Morton in the leg. Morton falls]

Bob Morton: Goddammit!

[Clarence fires three more times, shooting Morton in both legs]

Bob Morton: [whimpers] Stop! I'll give you anything you want! Just please, please don't kill me, all right?

[Clarence pops in a CD and the sneering face of Dick Jones appears onscreen]

Dick Jones: Hello, buddy boy. Dick Jones here. I guess you're on your knees right about now, begging for your life. Pathetic. You don't feel so cocky now, do ya, Bob?

Bob Morton: Whatever he's paying you, I'll double it right now.

Dick Jones: You know what the tragedy is here, Bob? We could have been friends...

[Clarence pulls out a grenade with a pin in it]

Dick Jones: ...but you wouldn't go through proper channels.

[Bob shakes his head "no."]

Dick Jones: You went over my head. That hurt...

[Clarence pulls out the pin with his tongue, setting the timer]

Dick Jones: ...but life goes on, it's an old story, the fight for love and glory, huh, Bob? It helps if you think of it as a game, Bob. Every game has a winner and a loser.

[Clarence confidently walks out. Morton desperately crawls toward the grenade, bleeding profusely from his legs]

Dick Jones: I'm cashing you out, Bob.

[last thing we see is Morton failing to get a firm grip on the rolling grenade and Jones' smiling face just before the house explodes]

Clarence Boddicker: Okay. I give up.

RoboCop: I'm not arresting you anymore.

[as RoboCop steadily advances, taking aim on Clarence, Clarence's nervous chuckles slowly turn to near panic as he realizes that Robocop truly means to kill him]

Clarence Boddicker: H-hey, now wait a second. Now, wait a minute. You're taking this kind of personal, aren't ya? Come on, man. Come on, now. You're making me nervous. Come on, you can't do this! Come on, now! Don't mess around! Hey! Hey! Come on, man. Now, don't get cute!

RoboCop: Excuse me. I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.

RoboCop: Book him!

Sgt. Reed: What's the charge?

RoboCop: He's a cop killer.

Dick Jones: Come in, officer. You know, I usually don't see anyone without an appointment, but your case I'll make an exception.

RoboCop: You are under arrest.

Dick Jones: Oh? On what charge?

RoboCop: Aiding and abetting a known felon.

Dick Jones: Sounds like I'm in a lot of trouble. You better take me in.

RoboCop: I will.

[Then RoboCop's Directive prevents him from arresting Jones, and is trying to fight it]

Dick Jones: What's the matter officer? I'll tell you what's the matter. It's a little insurance policy called "Directive 4", my little contribution to your psychological profile. Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown. What did you think? That you were an ordinary police officer? You're our product, and we can't very well have our products turning against us, can we?

[RoboCop, trying to resist his Directive, draws his gun, but drops it]

Dick Jones: Ahh, still a little fight left in you. Maybe you'd like to meet a friend of mine.

[ED-209 marches into the room]

Dick Jones: I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

RoboCop: Come quietly or there will be... trouble.

Steve Minh: Oh...

[cocks shotgun]

Steve Minh: Fuck you!

[fires]

Murphy: Role models can be very important to a boy.

Prisoner: Now, I am... I am what you call a repeat offender. I repeat, I will offend again! I get my orders from a higher source.

Sgt. Reed: Shut up, asshole.

[at the police station]

Slimey Lawyer: Attempted murder? Well, it's not like he killed someone. This is a clear violation of my client's civil rights.

Bail Bondsman: Make it aggravated assault and I can make bail, in cash, now!

Sgt. Reed: [angrily] Listen, pal, your client's a scumbag, you're a scumbag, and scumbags see the judge on Monday morning! Now, get out of my police station, and take laughing boy with ya!

Clarence Boddicker: Hey, Dickey boy. How's tricks?

Dick Jones: That *thing* is still alive.

Clarence Boddicker: I don't know what you're talking about.

Dick Jones: The police officer who arrested you, the one you spilled your guts to.

Clarence Boddicker: [gets up close to Jones' face] Hey... take a look at my face, *Dick*! He was trying to kill me.

Dick Jones: He's a cyborg, you idiot! He recorded every word you said. His memory's admissible as evidence! You *involved* me! You're gonna have to kill it.

Clarence Boddicker: Well, listen, chief... your company built the fucking thing! Now I gotta deal with it? I don't have time for this bullshit!

[Clarence starts heading out the doors but Dick recaptures his interest]

Dick Jones: Suit yourself, Clarence... but Delta City begins construction in two months. That's two million workers living in trailers. That means drugs, gambling, prostitution - virgin territory for the man who knows how to open up new markets. One man could control it all, Clarence.

Clarence Boddicker: Well, I guess we're gonna be friends after all... *Richard*.

Dick Jones: [tosses RoboCop's tracking device to Clarence] Destroy it.

Clarence Boddicker: Gonna need some major firepower. You got access to military weaponry?

Dick Jones: We practically are the military.

Dougy: We rob the banks but we never get to keep the money.

Emil: Takes money to make money. We steal money to buy coke then sell the coke to make even more money. Capital investment, man.

Dougy: Yeah, but why bother making it when we can just steal it?

Emil: No better way to steal money than free enterprise. Smoke?

Dougy: Naw. Ya know, those things'll kill ya.

Emil: Yeah. You wanna live forever?

The Old Man: How can we help you, officer?

RoboCop: Dick Jones is wanted for murder.

Dick Jones: [Directive 4 starts flashing on RoboCop's status monitor] This is absurd! That thing... is a violent mechanical psychopath!

RoboCop: My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company.

The Old Man: These are serious charges. What is your evidence?

[RoboCop turns to the wall and inserts his data spike into the wall socket, a video starts to play]

Dick Jones: [from video playback] I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake. I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

Dick Jones: [takes a gun and holds it against the Old Man's head, wrapping his arm around his neck] Get up! Get up! I want a chopper, now! We will walk to the roof very calmly, I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me... the old geezer gets it.

The Old Man: Dick, you're fired!

[Directive 4 disappears from RoboCop's status monitor]

RoboCop: Thank you.

[the Old Man jabs Dick Jones from behind with his elbow, and RoboCop starts shooting at Dick Jones, who is no longer an OCP employee; Dick Jones falls through a glass window to the ground below and dies]

Clarence Boddicker: [stabs RoboCop in the chest with metal rod] Sayonara, RoboCop!

[RoboCop stabs him in the throat; Clarence screams in pain as he staggers away and collapses]

[Ron Miller is holding City Hall hostage to get an old job back while Lt. Hedgecock is negotiating from outside with a bullhorn]

Lt Hedgecock: Okay, Miller! Don't hurt the mayor! We'll give you whatever you want!

Miller: First, don't fuck with me. I'm a desperate man! And second, I want some fresh coffee. And third, I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!

Lt Hedgecock: Okay.

Miller: And I want a bigger office! And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!

Lt Hedgecock: What kind of car, Miller?

Miller: Something with reclining leather seats, that goes really fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage!

Lt Hedgecock: How about the, uh, 6000 SUX?

Miller: Yeah! Okay, sure! What about cruise control? Does it come with cruise control?

Lt Hedgecock: Hey, no problem, Miller. Let the mayor go, we'll even throw in a Blaupunkt!

Miller: Lieutenant, don't jerk me off! When people jerk me off, I kill them! You wanna see?

[Miller goes over to the Mayor]

Lt Hedgecock: Get up, Your Honor. Get up! Get up. Your public wants to see you.

[Miller pulls the Mayor to the window and points the gun at his head]

Miller: Nobody ever takes me seriously! We'll get serious now... and kiss the mayor's ass goodbye!

[RoboCop punches through the wall, grabs Miller and the gun, then punches Miller in the face to send him flying out the window]

Emil: [dying after taking an acid bath] Help meeeee...

Leon Nash: Don't touch me, man!

[while Murphy arrests Emil, his gang gets the drop on Murphy]

Leon Nash: Why don't you let us take over from here, Emil?

[Emil disarms Murphy and then picks up his own shotgun]

Emil: Your ass is mine.

Clarence Boddicker: [coming in] No. Not yet it ain't. Well, what have we here?

[takes Murphy's helmet off and puts it on Emil]

Clarence Boddicker: You a good cop, hot shot? Well, sure you are. Why, you gotta be some kind of... GREAT cop to come in here all by yourself.

[strikes Murphy hard behind his knees, dropping him to the ground]

Clarence Boddicker: Where's your partner? Where's your partner?

[hits Murphy in the shoulder blade with his rifle butt]

Joe Cox: [coming in] Well, guys, other one was upstairs. She was sweeeeeeet, mm, mm, mm. I took her out.

[laughs]

Clarence Boddicker: [to Murphy] I bet that really pisses you off. You probably don't think I'm a very nice guy. Do ya?

Murphy: Buddy, I think you're slime.

[gang laughs]

Clarence Boddicker: See, I got this problem. Cops don't like me, so I don't like cops.

[Waves the aim of his gun a few times about Murphy's body, mimicking the sound of a tracking device before finally shooting Murphy's right hand off. The gang laughs in hysterics]

Clarence Boddicker: Well, give the man a hand! He's all yours.

[the gang laughs watching Murphy struggle to his feet, grasping his bleeding stump]

Emil: All right, all right. Look out.

Steve Minh: Turn around, man.

Joe Cox: Pretty boy. Hey, over here.

[Murphy turns with great difficulty and faces the gang, who gleefully empty their guns into him, shooting his wounded arm completely off]

Murphy: OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... OW! Oh! Oh! OW! OUUUUUUUUUU...

Alarm voice-over: Red alert! Red alert! Red alert!

Commercial girl: You crossed my line of death.

Commerical mom: You haven't dismantled your MX stockpile.

Commercial boy: Pakistan is threatening my border!

Commercial dad: That's it, buster! No more military aid.

[a simulated nuclear explosion ensues]

Commercial Voice-Over: Nukem. Get them before they get you. Another quality home game from Butler Brothers.

Joe Cox: [to Lewis] Mind if I... zip this up?

Commercial Voice-Over: It's back. Big is back, because bigger is better. 6000 SUX - an American tradition!

[caption on screen says "An American Tradition. 8.2 MPG"]

Manson: Where are you from?

Murphy: Metro South.

Manson: Welcome to hell.

[ED-209 has malfunctioned during a demonstration, killing Kinney in the boardroom]

The Old Man: [12:43] Dick, I'm very disappointed.

Dick Jones: I'm sure it's only a glitch, a temporary setback.

The Old Man: [raises his voice in anger] You call this a GLITCH?

[pause]

The Old Man: We're scheduled to begin construction in six months. Your "temporary setback" could cost us fifty million dollars in interest payments alone!

ED-209: [seeing RoboCop drive up to the OCP entrance] You are illegally parked on private property. You have twenty seconds to move your vehicle.

[Just as it gets ready to shoot, RoboCop uses the Cobra Assault Cannon to destroy the ED-209]

Clarence Boddicker: Listen, I'm here to see Dick Jones, but when I'm done, I've got some free time. Maybe you could, um... fit me in.

RoboCop: [entering a convenience store, robbery in progress] Drop the gun, you are under arrest!

Hophead: [firing semi-automatic at RoboCop] Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!

[bullets deflect off RoboCop's armor]

Hophead: [RoboCop grabs gun barrel and bends downward]

[Hophead is shocked, runs for front door]

Hophead: [RoboCop knocks him through a glass fridge window]

RoboCop: [to shocked store owners] Thank you for your cooperation, goodnight.

Clarence: [after spitting blood] Just give me my fucking phone call.

Dick Jones: [in the executive bathroom] Congratulations, Bob.

Bob Morton: Thanks.

Dick Jones: I remember when I was a young executive for this company. I used to call the old man funny names - Iron Butt, Boner... once I even called him... Asshole - but there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn, and you just stepped over it, buddy-boy. You've insulted me and you've insulted this company with that bastard creation of yours. I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?

Bob Morton: The old man thought it was pretty important... Dick.

Dick Jones: You know, he's a sweet old man, and he means well, but he's not gonna live forever and I'm number two around here. Pretty simple math, huh, Bob? You just, uh...

Dick Jones: [grabbing Morton's hair] ... fucked with the wrong guy.

Bob Morton: [removes Jones' hand from his hair] You're out of your fuckin' mind!

Dick Jones: You'd better pray that that unholy monster of yours doesn't screw up.

RoboCop: Looking for me?

[shoots Joe mercilessly]

[Morton and Johnson head to the elevator after the boardroom meeting]

Bob Morton: Yes! Now that's how it's done in the big leagues, Johnson. You see an opening, you GO for it!

[both walk into the elevator]

Johnson: You better watch your back, Bob. Jones is gonna come looking for you.

Bob Morton: Oh, fuck Jones. He fumbled the ball and I was there to pick it up.

Johnson: Too bad about Kinney, huh?

Bob Morton: That's life in the big city.

Johnson: [about RoboCop project] When do we start?

Bob Morton: As soon as some poor schmuck volunteers.

Officer Lewis: Murphy, it's you!

[ED-209 has malfunctioned and killed Mr. Kinney in a demonstration]

Bob Morton: Somebody wanna call a *goddamn* paramedic? Let's go, Johnson!

Johnson: [frantic] You pull the plug on this thing!

[picks up phone and yells back to others]

Johnson: All right, look, don't touch 'em. Don't *touch* 'em!

Sgt. Reed: Lewis, come here when you're finished fucking around with your suspect!

Sgt. Reed: I don't want to hear any more talk about strike! We're not plumbers! We're police officers - and police officers don't strike!

Jesse Perkins: Robocop: Who is he? What is he? Where does he come from? He is OCP"s newest soldier in their revolutionary crime management program. OCP spokesmen claim that the fearless machine has crooks on the run in Old Detroit. Today, kids at Lee Iacocca Elementary School got to meet in person what their parents only read about in comic books.

Reporter: Robo, excuse me, Robo! Any special message for all the kids watching at home?

RoboCop: Stay out of trouble.

Bob Morton: Hey, he's old, we're young, and that's life.

[the gleeful gang shoots Murphy firing-squad style till...]

Joe Cox: Shit! I'm out of ammo.

Emil: Me, too.

Joe Cox: [to a mangled Murphy, in sing-songy taunting tone] Does it hurt? Does it hurt?

[laughs]

Clarence Boddicker: Okay, fun's over.

[shoots Murphy in the head]

Clarence Boddicker: Okay, let's get out of here.

Joe Cox: [to Murphy] Good night, sweet prince.

Bob Morton: How does he eat?

Roosevelt: His digestive system is extremely simple. This processor dispenses a rudimentary paste that sustains his organic systems.

Johnson: [Roosevelt dispenses the paste into a cup and hands it to Johnson] Tastes like baby food.

Bob Morton: Knock yourself out.

Starkweather: We're getting creamed out there, Reed.

Clarence Boddicker: Shit! I don't believe it!

Bobby: What?

Clarence Boddicker: You... you burnt the fucking money!

Bobby: I had to blow the door! What do you want?

Clarence Boddicker: It's as good as marked, you asshole. You stupid, stupid asshole!

Roosevelt: The entire outer skin will be like this.

Tyler: It's titanium, laminated with kevlar.

Roosevelt: Go ahead. Shake his hand.

[the robotic arm extends to shake Morton's hand]

Bob Morton: Come here often? How you doin'?

Bob Morton: [cringes as the robot hand grips his hand hard] Ow! God! He's got a helluva grip!

Tyler: It's 400 foot-pounds. He could crush every bone in your hand.

Roosevelt: All right, attach it to his shoulder.

Bob Morton: [as the robotic arm wheels out] I like that.

Bob Morton: [Looks right into RoboCop's point of view] You are gonna be a bad motherfucker!

[OCP executive Bob Morton is interviewed on Mediabreak]

Robert 'Bob' Morton: At Security Concepts, we're projecting the end of crime in Old Detroit within forty days. There's a new guy in town. His name is RoboCop.

Dick Jones: Every policeman knows when he joins the force that there are certain inherent risks that come with the territory. Ask any cop, he'll tell ya, "If you can't stand the heat, you better stay out of the kitchen."

Murphy: [getting the drop on two criminals] Hey! Don't move.

[Dougy picks up a shot gun and Murphy shoots him dead. Emil grabs his shotgun but just holds it, knowing Murphy's got him dead to rights]

Murphy: Go ahead and do it. Dead or alive, you're coming with me.

[Emil surrenders]

Murphy: [into radio] Lewis. Lewis? Lewis, I got a situation here, girl.

Murphy: [to Emil] Okay, tough guy, get up. Get up! C'mon. Spread your legs. That's right.

Murphy: [back on the radio to Lewis] Lewis, where are you? You all right?

Dick Jones: I say good business is where you find it.

Grocery Mom: [Hophead puts a comic book onto the check out counter, and the grocery mom puts the comic book in a bag] Would there be anything else, sir?

Hophead: [muffled] Yeah, empty the register and put the money in the bag.

Grocery Mom: Excuse me?

Hophead: [shouts] I said give me your money and all of it, and don't fuck with me!

[Hophead takes out a machine gun from his coat]

Hophead: Now move! Open the safe, pops. Open the god-damn safe!

Grocery Pop: We-we don't have a safe.

Hophead: Shit!

[Hophead kicks the display of beer cans that hides a safe]

Hophead: There's your god-damn safe! Open that son of a bitch! I'm gonna count to three and you'd better open that son of a bitch! Come on, come ON!

Hophead: [Points the gun at the mom's head] I'm gonna blow her brains out.

Grocery Pop: I'll open the safe.

Hophead: Good boy.

[the pop works on the safe]

Hophead: Come on! Well, you better open that on the count of three. One. Two.

[RoboCop comes in]

Hophead: Fuck me!

RoboCop: Drop the gun. You are under arrest.

Hophead: [shouting while shooting at RoboCop] Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!

[RoboCop bends the nose of Hophead's gun. Hophead tries to run away but RoboCop tosses him into a freezer]

RoboCop: [turning to the grocery couple] Thank you for your co-operation. Good night.

Bixby Snyder: [From the TV] I'll buy that for a dollar!

Officer Lewis: I asked him his name. He didn't know.

Bob Morton: Oh, great. Let me make it real clear to you. He doesn't have a name. He's got a program. He's product. Is that clear?

Emil: Smoke?

Dougy: Nah. You know those things'll kill you.

Emil: Yeah. D'you wanna live forever?

Clarence Boddicker: Hey, Emil! How's the Gray Bar Motel?

Emil: Not bad.

[shows his prison uniform]

Emil: They let me keep the shirt. Nobody popped my cherry!

Leon Nash: Emil, how ya doin', man? Good to see ya!

Joe Cox: [Joe pulls up in a stolen car] Hey, hey! First they let me out of jail for free, then what do I find in the prison parking lot but a brand new 6000 SUX. Still got the factory sticker on it!

Leon Nash: Hey, Clarence! Joey's got a car just like yours, man!

Joe Cox: Yo, Clarence, what do you think, buddy?

Joe Cox: [seeing Clarence take out a Cobra Assault cannon] What do you got there, Clarence, huh? Whoa! A new toy! Can I play?

Clarence Boddicker: Huh? Watch this...

[Clarence aims the assault cannon at Joe's 6000 SUX]

Joe Cox: Wait... wait a minute, Clarence! Clarence!

[BOOM, the car explodes into flames]

Joe Cox: Ah, shit! Fuck!

Clarence Boddicker: Nice car, Joe!

[Clarence makes a kissy kissy face]

Joe Cox: Fuck you, Clarence.

Emil: Lemme try that!

Clarence Boddicker: Cobra Assault Cannon - state of the art bang - bang!

[Emil takes the launcher from Clarence and blows up a store with it]

Emil: [shouts] I LIKE it!

Joe Cox: [trying to take the launcher from Emil] Give it up, faggot little man!

Emil: No, butthole! Get your own!

Clarence Boddicker: Come on!

[Clarence allows Joe the cannon while Emil fetches another from the car, and both have fun blowing up random things]

Joe Cox: [shouts] Ha HAA ha-ha HA! The wreckin' crew is here! Where IS that metallic mother...

Clarence Boddicker: Zip it up, will you, man? Nothing fancy. Just kill him!

Kaplan: I don't like it any more than you do, Reed, but listen.

Sgt. Reed: You listen to me, you asshole! You're talking about shutting down a major metropolitan police force! Without cops, this city would tear itself apart!

Johnson: Don't mess with Jones, man. He'll make sushi out of you.

Kinney: Yeah, you better be careful. Man, I hear Jones is a real shark.

Bob Morton: [turns to Kinney] Who asked you, twerp?

The Old Man: Old Detroit has a cancer. The cancer is crime, and it must be cut out before we employ the two million workers that will breathe life into this city again.

Clarence Boddicker: Bye-bye, baby.

Tyler: [while creating RoboCop] We were able to save the left arm.

Bob Morton: What? I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis. Now, lose the arm, okay?

Tyler: Jesus, Morton!

[snaps his finger at RoboCop]

Bob Morton: Can he understand what I'm saying?

Roosevelt: Doesn't matter. We're gonna blank his memory anyway.

Bob Morton: Well, I think we should lose the arm. Wha-what do you think, Johnson?

Johnson: Well, he signed a release form when he joined the force. He's legally dead. We can do pretty much what we want to him.

Bob Morton: Lose the arm.

Tyler: Shut him down. Prep him for surgery.

[looks down at RoboCop while his monitor vision shuts off]

Clarence Boddicker: I don't think I want to pay that, Sal.

Sal: I don't give a shit what you want to pay. I set the prices here.

Clarence Boddicker: Listen, pal, maybe you haven't heard. I'm the guy in Old Detroit. You want space in my marketplace... you're gonna have to give me a volume discount.

Sal: Not into... discounts.

Clarence Boddicker: Think about it, chum. Good business is where you find it.

Dick Jones: Jesus, you really screwed up.

Kaplan: Well, I'll tell you what we should do. We should strike. Fuck 'em!

Bob Morton: Let's get out of here. Listen, Reed.

Sgt. Reed: Yeah.

Bob Morton: Try and keep one thing in mind. This project doesn't concern cops. It's classified. It's OCP. Got it, mister?

Sgt. Reed: Yeah, I got it.

Clarence Boddicker: [using the GPS map to find RoboCop] He's at the steel mill. Let's go.

Leon Nash: [yelling to Emil and Joe] All right, cut the horseshit! We're moving out.

Clarence Boddicker: Come on, Emil. Get your ass in the van!

Emil: Come on, lard-ass, let's move it!

Joe Cox: I'll get you, faggot, haha-ha!

Jesse Perkins: Good evening, I'm Jess Perkins with Casey Wong. Top story: Santa Barbara. 10,000 acres of wooded residential land were scorched in an instant when a laser cannon aboard the Strategic Defense Peace Platform misfired today during routine startup tests. Casey?

Casey Wong: Yes, it was a day of mourning for the families of 113 known dead at this hour. Among them: two former United States presidents who had retired in the Santa Barbara area. A day of mourning for a country.

RoboCop: [entering a convenience store, robbery in progress] Drop the gun, you are under arrest!

Hophead: [firing semi-automatic at RoboCop] Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!

[bullets deflect off RoboCop's armor]

Hophead: [RoboCop grabs gun barrel and bends downward]

[shocked Hophead runs for front door]

Hophead: [RoboCop knocks him through a glass fridge window]

RoboCop: [to amazed store owners] Thank you for your cooperation, goodnight.

Dick Jones: I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

Clarence Boddicker: You can keep the gum.

The Old Man: My friends, I've had this dream for more than a decade now, a dream which I've invited you all to share with me.

The Old Man: Maybe what we need here is a fresh perspective.

Emil: What are you, crazy, man?

Clarence Boddicker: Shut the fuck up and do it! Just do it!

The Old Man: These are serious charges. What is your evidence?

Lt Hedgecock: We wait. Terrorism is a very tricky business. Massive and immediate retaliation is the best policy. Unfortunately...

[first lines]

News Crew: This is Media Break. You give us 3 minutes, and we'll give you the world.

Casey Wong: Good morning. I'm Casey Wong, with Jess Perkins. Top story: Pretoria. The threat of nuclear confrontation in South Africa escalated today when the ruling white military government of that besieged city-state unveiled a French-made neutron bomb and affirmed its willingness to use the 3 megaton device as the city's last line of defense.

Jesse Perkins: And the President's first press conference from the Star Wars orbiting peace platform got off to a shaky start when power failed, causing a brief but harmless period of weightlessness for the visiting President and his staff.

Dick Jones: Because no matter what happens, this corporation will live up to the guiding principles of its founder: courage, strength, conviction.

[the employees at the table applaud]

Dick Jones: We will meet each new challenge with the same aggressive attitude.

Jesse Perkins: Good evening, I'm Jess Perkins with Casey Wong.Top story: Santa Barbara. 10,000 acres of wooded residential land were scorched in an instant when a laser cannon aboard the Strategic Defense Peace Platform misfired today during routine startup tests. Casey.

Casey Wong: Yes, it was a day of mourning for the families of 113 known dead at this hour. Among them: two former United States presidents who had retired in the Santa Barbara area. A day of mourning for a country.

Jimmy Murphy: [watching T.J. Lazer twirl his gun then holstering it] Can you do that, dad?

[RoboCop's debut is shown from his POV. At first he is covered with a tarp]

Bob Morton: We get the best of both worlds. The fastest reflexes possible today, computer-assisted memory, and a lifetime of on-the-street officer programming. It is my great pleasure to present to you... RoboCop.

[the attendees applaud and cheer. Bob motions for RoboCop to stand up and follow him]

Bob Morton: Come on, come on! That's for you! That's for you!

Johnson: Go, Robo!

Casey Wong: More fighting in the Mexican crisis when American troops joined in a raid with Mexican Nationals against rebel rocket positions in Acapulco.

Dick Jones: Fellow executives, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the future of law enforcement. ED-209. The Enforcement Droid series 209 is a self-sufficient law enforcement robot. 209 is currently programmed for urban pacification.

Bob Morton: He's got this killer rep, but it's a smoke screen. He's basically lost his teeth. The guy's a pussy!

Technician #1: Hey, look. Bucket-boy's online.

Dick Jones: We now have a contract to run local law enforcement. But, at Security Concepts., we believe an efficient police force is only part of the solution. No, we need something more. We need a 24-hour-a-day police officer. A *cop* who doesn't need to eat or sleep. A cop with superior firepower *and* the reflexes to use it.

Chandra: There's just something about the way it sounds: "Vice President." It just turns me on.

Bob Morton: God, you girls are so great! I mean, I just love to be with intelligent women. Smart is so - sexy.

Tawney: I know. Sometimes, I could just think of something - and it could just get me so horny.

Bob Morton: Yeah, well, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I get bored so easily.

Chandra: Yep. And you need lots of stimulation, Bobby.

Bob Morton: Yes, I do!

Bob Morton: You want to take him offline because he had a dream? What? Are you kidding?
