And I used to watch it, because it was somehow acceptable for me to watch as opposed to the other two movies...? It had ninja robots!

While this seems pretty solid in terms of gameplay and videogame plot standards, what I'm genuinely enjoying most here is the little side pieces showing Robocop just doing ordinary police stuff day to day, when he isn't dealing with a major motion picture-worthy crisis. Aside from being charming, it makes me a little nostalgic for the old police quest games and their emphasis on being procedural. Of course this isn't trying to be particularly accurate or educational, but looking into details of day-to-day policework and how robocop wold deal with the mundanity is a great foil to the otherwise heavy stuff around corruption and going loose cannon to save the day.

Sorry, should have put some kind of a divider between the two paragraphs. I was referring to the kid asking Murphy to do the robot, and him doing it, as what was charming.

 Episode 12: Resistance I can't believe Becker would lie to us about the whole domestic terrorism thing! Oh, wait, yes I can.

His toy company put little bits of Stonehenge stone in holiday masks to kill kids with magic.

 Episode 13: Be Kind Rewind VHS tapes (but no LaserDiscs)! Paul Verhoeven references! Interventions! Vehicle repairs! Hostage rescues! Tattoos! Politicians! Torch Heads! Vultures! This episode has it all (except LaserDiscs)!

"Music by LABORO DOLORE" "Story by ADIPISCING ELIT SEO DO" Pretty sure the poster behind Pickles used Lorem Ipsum for the various roles.  Also, saw someone on twitter point out that the P-Roxy poster is also a Black Lagoon (anime/manga one) reference somewhat, with how the character is posed and holding the dual pistols.

That "homeless by choice" bit at the start really has the taste and smell of the Reagan Era.

Terminator Resistance was a bit rough around the edges, but had a lot of charm - seems like a good choice for the IP.

 Episode 14: Ghosts from the Past CLICK HERE for cut commentary version!  Photosensitivity warning: Flashes of static throughout, especially 17:09 - 17:51 We found out where Wendell is, so now all we need to do is--[SYSTEM ERROR] I'm not going to be regularly making cut commentary versions of these episodes, but I figured some people might want to enjoy the atmosphere of this part without us talking over it.

One of the better [REDACTED] sequences I've seen in a long time because it makes so much sense and fits nicely into what we already know about Robo.

I'm sad they couldn't get more of the actors from the first movie. Kurtwood Smith would have been brilliant! Still, at least Peter Weller got to do more than just Robocop. Still sounded slightly robotic though.

I think Weller just sounds kinda old there, which certainly makes sense because the guy is 76 years old.

Yeah, I think my yardstick for these sorts of things is Max Payne, which I guess isn't a very high bar. In any event, a big part of Robocop is that he's still reliant on very experimental and glitchy technology, and also that being killed and resurrected (or near enough to) is hella traumatic and it really speaks volumes about the setting when you consider that the psych support he's getting is mostly about performance evaluation with a token "so how are we feeling" on top of it

Because the Blood Maze in 1 was awful, but the bit where he goes meta about it being a comic or a video game was tops. And Max Payne 2 was just overall great storytelling.

Max Payne was awesome except for the blood mazes. 2 sucked because of the convoluted plot. 3 was awesome all around. My opinion.

Somehow not as good a line as all the others in the first and third games imo. But enough about that, this is a Robocop thread. He was tossing out great one liners and tanking damage long before Max Payne was ever conceived.

Because that was great. Mind, most quotable movie ever is probably The Crow. That's full of one-liners.

 Episode 15: The Future of Law Enforcement Hey, these guys look familiar. As I was gonna say before I got distracted, the screaming skull in the RoboCop 2 scene apparently inspired the Revenant design in Doom 2016, as id wanted something that looked a bit goofy.

I love how that ends up at the end of the video. That whole big fight and then it turns out to be a presentation that backfires horribly and makes you look even better.

I like how the successful demonstration would have resulted in the destruction of the one working version of an OCP product. Absolutely perfect.

This whole thing does at least suggest Becker isn't working with Wendell and the brain-stealing crew, because his robots don't need brains and he never wanted them to have any. This was his project, and whatever Wendell's thing is all about, Becker doesn't seem to be involved with any of that.

 Episode 16: Wendell's Confession We pay a visit to Wendell in prison to find out who his OCP contact is, but of course it's not going to be that simple as we discover Wendell has another trick up his sleeve...

It is kinda weird that there's crime evidence in the prison, but the implication may be that it's corrupt. Although if it is, you'd think the warden would be less happy to see RoboCop.

Although if it is, you'd think the warden would be less happy to see RoboCop. I tend to treat it as "crunch". Like, it's a collectible, it doesn't really mean anything aside from XP. I mean, if we're looking for "fluff", I've read a good number of stories that suggest that a lot more illegal activities go on within prisons than you'd think. It's like finishing school for criminals.

There are a lot of reasons America should really be rethinking its approach to prisons but that is one of them, yes.
