RoboCop (2014)	comment	RoboCop is the 2014 remake of the classic cyberpunk film RoboCop directed by JosÃ© Padilha of The Elite Squad fame. Joel Kinnaman stars as Alex Murphy, a Detroit Police Officer who is mutilated by a car bomb and resurrected as an unstoppable cyborg police officer by OmniCorp. Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton play supporting roles.Alex Murphy has Cowboy Cop tendencies that get him in trouble with Da Chief, because he acts on his hunches first. His justification in this case is that since he and his partner were investigating dirty cops, calling for backup would alert the guys they were after. Unfortunately, their attempt to nail the bad guys goes wrong and Murphy's partner Lewis ends up in the hospital.The crime lord the dirty cops work for wants Murphy out of the picture as well, but with his hands clean, since cop killers get the enmity of the entire police force. The dirty cops do the dirty work for him, and tag his car with a bomb. It goes off, burning Murphy badly and damaging his eyes and ears from the concussion. Enter OmniCorp, who has been looking for a way to get their crime-stopping robots on the streets of an American city. The American people don't feel comfortable with a soulless robot who can't feel, so putting a human face on a robot seems to be the ticket.Plans for a sequel were not pushed. Instead, Amazon Studios announced on April 2023 that a (another) reboot movie and TV series will be in production.

RoboCop (2014) / int_12b1f5f3	comment	No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-Universe example. When OmniCorp learns that Chief Karen Dean was working with crime boss Antoine Vallon thanks to Murphy, they at first fear a backlash from the public over the scandal. However, CEO Sellars uses the news to their advantage with Pat Novak's help by praising RoboCop stopping corruption in the police which they use as proof that robots are superior to corruptible human law enforcement. Murphy's emotions have been so repressed he ignores his family and all the VIPs at his press conference because he's too busy scanning everyone for potential threats. Then he leaps into the crowd and tasers a man wanted for murder. The fact that a wanted killer was undetected in a crowd containing some of the city's top law enforcement officials is again used to showcase RoboCop's superior abilities. Even the Iranian suicide bombers wait until they're on television before attacking. Likewise the attack is also given a positive spin on Novak's show, emphasizing the US troops who didn't die through the use of robots, as opposed to the Iranians who did, or whether the robot occupation is achieving anything.

RoboCop (2014) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The claim that robots are incorruptible is a recurring theme in the movie. No matter whether this could be "true", their makers are still corruptible and can tamper with these robots in their favor. The theme becomes a metaphor of the law and lawmakers who are also lawbreakers; machine glitches are as analogous to loopholes in the law. The subtle satire of how OmniCorp's droid armies in foreign countries are hailed by the media, yet the American public objects being under robotic law enforcers via the Dreyfus Act, with Sen. Dreyfus using children as a main point of argument. By the film's conclusion, the public remained against droid enforcers except the sole humane cyborg as their own crimefighter, all the while other countries' insurgents and their children who are against soulless droids remain gunned down.

It's also stated that the ED-209s and EM-208s are also made from graphene. According to the toy-line, the silver body is called "RoboCop 1.0" and the black body is "RoboCop 3.0". The proposed version that could transform between a combat and safety mode is likely the missing 2.0. Doubles as a Mythology Gag as the RoboCop 2 from the first movies didn't last long either.

RoboCop (2014) / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Raymond Sellars held the villain ball ever since he succeeded raising public support for repealing Dreyfus Act. Despite being skilled at shifting anything into his or the company's favor earlier in the movie Sellars catches this and runs home with it. Sellars could have simply kept Murphy at bay with the Restraining Bolt and stuck to the story that Murphy was going rogue. Murphy's family may have even believed it at this point after seeing him storm the roof and attempt to attack Sellars. Instead Sellars picks up a pistol and brags about how Murphy is just a machine and how he could kill his family, which gives Murphy the resolve he needs to break programming and shoot Sellars. Even before the finale, Sellars could have acted a lot more conservatively without getting into trouble with the law - not much more effort required. Namely, that very moment he ordered Mattox to secretly kill Murphy. Sellars could have just pulled strings to cite some plausible excuse and effectively fire Murphy from OmniCorp, and either placate him and his family with compensation, or failing that, dismiss them as ungrateful kooks if they tried to go on the press about their suspicions. The only real reason Sellars seek to destroy Robocop is for the purpose of a climatic third act.

Meanwhile, crime in Detroit has gotten so bad that the city set up video cameras everywhere and yet this still doesn't stop criminals from committing crimes in front of a camera. Also, gangs now have access to military hardware like assault rifles and grenades.

He started off as a caring Chief Scientist who made unethical decisions only when pressurized by OmniCorp, was never involved in Alex Murphy's attempted murder, and repented towards the end of the film.

RoboCop (2014) / int_234bd900	comment	For Science!: Averted with Norton. His first scene has him helping a double-amputee learn to play the guitar again. Throughout the process he is every bit as concerned about the human factor, vetoing a potential candidate based on his psych evaluation and only starts skirting a moral line with Murphy (rewriting his biochemistry) when normal emotional support wasn't enough. He also tells Sellers, point-blank, that he refuses to work on combat applications. Played with near the end. It seems as though Norton agrees to Sellers' plan to terminate Murphy because Sellers will give him a blank check for all his future research. Instead, Norton was telling Sellers what he wanted to hear, and immediately goes to revive Murphy and give him a fighting chance.

RoboCop (2014) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
RoboCop (2014) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The entire movie has similar plot and characters to the 1987 original intermingled with elements from its two sequels. RoboCop (1987) The film even begins with a heavily-armed ED-209 opening fire on a knife-wielding child, mirroring Mr. Kinney's death in the boardroom at the start of the first film. Murphy's only remaining biological components are the parts that, in the original movie, are where he gets shot by Clarence Boddicker's gang in a shotgun firing squad execution. The fact that he still has a functional hand also recalls Bob Morton's decision to ditch the original Murphy's good arm even though it could have been saved, since he wanted him to be all robot save the brain. Murphy tasting "peanut butter" in his mouth while Dr. Norton is working on his brain is a possible reference to the "baby food" organic paste which is the only food that Murphy's system can digest. During Murphy's VR training, Rick Mattox inverts the "I'd buy that for a dollar!" catchphrase that Bixby Snyder used in the first film in a banal sitcom. Here, it's an off-handed remark about Murphy's response times being several seconds slower than the EM-208 robot's. The film references the original 1987 RoboCop grey suit as its prototype design. A version dubbed "combat mode" is an exact copy of that design, before it's rejected in favor of the "more tactical" black refit. After the black suit redesign and the plot reached its climax, they revert Murphy back to the first design in true Book Ends form. The term "Red Asset", identified by a electronic bracelet as VIPs, refers to the secret, classified Fourth Directive within RoboCop's programming which prevents him from harming OCP officers. The RoboCop Catch Phrases "Thank you for your cooperation" and "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" are used in a more ironic context. He also threatens an arrested criminal with "You have two seconds to comply." Murphy's assaults on John Biggs' drug laboratory and Vallon's warehouse are a reprise of the raid on Boddicker's cocaine factory. Likewise, his assault on the ED-209s at OmniCorp recalls his showdown with Dick Jones' ED-209 at OCP Headquarters. Like before, Murphy's footsteps are loud. Joel Kinnaman went as far as to model his version of RoboCop movements off of Peter Weller, with a little bit more fluidity. Murphy takes out an ED-209 by making it fall down from one floor to another, much like the original was defeated by falling down stairs. Sellars mockingly offers his arms out for handcuffs, knowing that he is protected thanks to Murphy's Restraining Bolt, just as Dick Jones did in the first movie. RoboCop 2 Twofold: Dr. Norton disassembling Murphy and showing him what remains of his body is a nod to 1) RoboCop being dismantled by Cain's Nuke Gang and 2) the scene where Cain's preserved brain, spine, and eyes watch Dr. Faxx's harvesting procedure. Vallon's got snitches in the Detroit police force, just like Cain's Nuke team. Hob destroys Murphy's gun hand. This time around, Murphy had to shoot his own (robot) arm to break free from an ED-209's wreckage. Tom Pope suggests crippled cops with muscular builds for the RoboCop project. Dr. Norton objects because of the subjects' mental and emotional instability, making Dr. Norton the complete antithesis of Dr. Juliette Faxx. RoboCop now rides his own motorcycle and his black armor glows bright blue under fluorescent lights. Murphy is overwhelmed by the police crime database uploaded into his brain, similar to the hundreds of politically-correct directives given to him by OCP in the second film to satisfy the focus groups. Once again, Lewis uses an armored troop transport to slow down and harm a larger robot, in this case, using a Oshkosh Sandcat to ram into an ED-209. In the original, Anne Lewis used an APC to pin RoboCain against the wall. Pope's proposed design for RoboCop, being able to transform into a "Safety Mode" with police lights, is similar to the design of one of the failed RoboCop 2 prototypes that just commit suicide upon being released. RoboCop 3 Murphy being able to handle various weapons rather than a single sidearm. OmniCorp's robot army in other countries is very similar to the Rehab project that will pave the way for Delta City, prompting rebels to fight back much like the Iranians. Nikko deleted Directive 4. Leans into Unexpected Character with RoboCop's new bike, a pretty faithful recreation of the toy-only Robocycle released for RoboCop and the Ultra Police.

The discussion is not strictly on the quality of the programming, but other factors between a programmed response and intelligent decisions. The ED-209 series has a similar "all-or-nothing" attitude to the ones in the original series, as they make no distinction between suicide bombers with assault rifles and a kid with a butcher knife (versus the original not recognizing when an individual has gone from armed to unarmed). This either/or factor is used later in the film, as Lewis manages to save Murphy and disarm the OmniCorp security knowing they will not attack enemies unless they are armed.

In the original film, these were the areas of the body where Murphy was shot up by Clarence Boddicker. Murphy is so horrified by the sight he asks never to see himself like this again. However we do see him resting comfortably this way at the end of the movie, showing that he's become more comfortable with his nature. Murphy's car bomb injuries are pretty damn horrific. Fourth degree burns to over 80% of his body. Double amputations. Permanent blindness in one eye. Tinnitus. Lower spine was severed from upper spine, leading to a lifetime of paralysis. Loads of internal bleeding. Seeing his mutilated body on life support wasn't pleasant in the slightest.

After Murphy is converted into a cyborg, he remains the same dedicated police officer and loving family man he was before. Unfortunately, what Sellars essentially wants out of Murphy is to be a machine through-and-through, and when his reaction times lag behind an ED-208 due to taking caution like any good officer would, he coaxes Norton into lowering his dopamine levels, repressing his humanity and turning him into a soulless machine. It isn't until he is confronted with how his newly robotic demeanor is affecting his wife and son that he begins the struggle to reclaim his humanity.

RoboCop (2014) / int_547196be	comment	Broad Strokes: The premise is virtually identical, with comparable characters and similar themes, but the overall story is much different, allowing the movie to address different themes than the original did. In particular, Murphy was not clinically dead and emerges aware of himself as RoboCop with free will slowly peeled away by manipulating his programming and body chemistry, the inverse of what happens in the original. The story itself is basically a complete inversion of the original. The original is basically a resurrection story, with Murphy really being dead (subsumed by RoboCop) for the bulk of the film, only really becoming himself at the end, though there are some plot points about how his behavior is controlled by his programming. In the remake, Murphy is Murphy throughout the film, but the programming controlling his actions becomes more and more strict, forcing him to fight to reclaim his own free will.

He also has the backlog for the cameras, allowing him to pin crimes on people months or years after the fact. He can trace cell phones whenever he wants. Finally, all of this is correlated in real time with the police database. When he's first linked up, Murphy racks up nearly 200 pending arrests on the spot. What keeps it from being a completely straight example is that only Murphy is capable of doing this. The police have neither the time nor manpower to correlate all this data, while Murphy has a computer linked to his brain that can.

RoboCop (2014) / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: The established-to-be image-conscious OmniCorp deciding to upload the police database into Murphy's head right before the unveiling press event. Murphy freaks out upon witnessing his own murder, forcing them to dial down his emotions to nothing (thus defeating the point) just so they can walk him out. Everything from then on is a result of this blunder, and it's only thanks to him identifying a murderer in the crowd (and the press spinning this into an argument in favor of robots in law enforcement) that they're able to avoid a potential PR disaster. Had they simply waited to perform the upload when they weren't on the clock, they could have eased Murphy through the process, rather than taking such drastic action. Soon after the police database was uploaded to Murphy, it is discovered that a wanted fugitive, Thomas King, felt it wise to attend the unveiling of Robocop and chance being identified, even by regular cops and people who may have studied King's mug shot and remembered what he's wanted for. Murphy's software immediately detects King's bio-metrics as King's vicinity is scanned, and he's arrested and read his rights. One of Vallon's men uses an unencrypted cell phone while at his boss's headquarters despite the fact they can be traced through such. Vallon even earlier insists a pair of Dirty Cops have their cell phones off when they visit. Naturally, Murphy finds Vallon through said phone. John Lake and Andre Daniels get caught by Alex Murphy because one or both didn't wear gloves when smuggling dirty guns out of the evidence lockup, and incriminating finger prints were found on the guns Murphy recovered. They presumably felt untouchable due to their connections with the underworld and didn't anticipate having to deal with a robo-detective but letting finger prints end up on contraband was taking a chance even without Robocop on the force. Sellars threatens Murphy's family for the ego trip. This gives Murphy the motivation to override his Restraining Bolt and kill Sellars.

Dick Jones from the original film is a Corrupt Corporate Executive and Big Bad who doesn't shy away from murder. Dick Jones' analogous counterpart is Raymond Sellars, while just about as amoral he is less overtly so compared to Dick Jones.

Murphy suffers a Heroic BSoD when he sees the footage of his own near-death.

Basically running on autopilot, Murphy stomps past his family and ignores the Mayor's outstretched hand, scanning them and everyone else in the crowd for potential threats. Then he spots Thomas King — a man wanted for murder — and wastes no time jumping into the crowd and shooting the guy in the back, scaring the crowd half to death. Novak subsequently is shown spinning the story as an example of Murphy's new amazing robotic abilities and the incompetence of the human police, pointing out the uniform cops that are standing literally steps away from the wanted felon who fail to notice him.

RoboCop (2014) / int_95ff52c7	comment	Guns Do Not Work That Way: The movie makes it seem as though a .50 caliber round is some sort of magical bullet that offers significantly more damage regardless of the medium, as it is specifically this caliber which can penetrate RoboCop's armor. In the big shootout, he gets into trouble when the bad guys pull out .50 AE Desert Eagles. Those actually deliver only slightly more kinetic energy than the standard 5.56 mm NATO rifle round, vs. a .50 BMG rifle round will punch with almost ten times as much energy. 7.62mm NATO rounds would likewise reach the threshold. In reality, if RoboCop can shrug off common rifle rounds, those Desert Eagles shouldn't do much to him.

Those things are hard to destroy with explosives and high caliber ammo, a knife isn't going to do anything. On the other hand, the bombers' objective was solely to die live on international television, so if that was the son's goal as well, it did everything he needed it to. Alternatively, the ED-209 thought the boy was going to use the knife to harm other people. During the climax, Sellars has disabled Murphy with the Red Asset bracelet. Clara and David are terrified and might believe Sellar's story about Murphy going psychotic. He's won. Then, he just has to borrow a gun, threaten to shoot Murphy in the head, and threaten to shoot Murphy's wife and son, too.

RoboCop (2014) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The 1987 RoboCop's design has encumbered speed due to his heavy armor, but the 2014 RoboCop implements superhuman speed, jumping and reflexes akin to the obscure Japanese police-cyborg 8 Man After. The new Alex Murphy is also a detective rather than a police officer, much like Detective Yokoda before he became 8-Man. RoboCop's NI-408 sidearm resembles the modified Lawgiver Mark II more than the 1987 Auto-9. The ED-209s making animal noises not only reminds one of the original ED-209s, but calls to mind the Gekkos from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Also, Murphy jumps onto a ED-209 to disable it at close range, like Raiden does with some of his aerial attacks. Mind you, he's not as successful as Raiden is. The noises that Murphy's combat software and non-combat software makes when it's analyzing and running scenarios and all of that fun stuff, is the same sound effects used for the Terminators in Terminator Salvation. In running through modular design variations, one is showed able to switch to a slimmer version with police lights on his shoulders. "It transforms. Kids love it." The man with the prosthetic hand plays "Concerto de Aranjuez" which is the basis for "Follow Me", a song appearing prominently in Ghost in the Shell Innocence (the 2004 movie), a film that shares many similar themes with RoboCop. When Robocop is interrogating two dirty cops at the police station, he concludes by coldly quipping "Thank you for your cooperation, you can cuff him now Jack." This is a call back to RoboCop (1987) when Robocop thanks the liquor store owners for their support when Murphy confronts the robber. However, some viewers did read this as Robocop thanking the now-unconscious robber so this may even be a shout-out to that idea.

RoboCop (2014) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Jack Lewis practically combines Anne Lewis with Sgt. Reed in regards to the Gender Flip and Race Lift, along with actually having him ranked as Sergeant and not being a Dirty Cop. Mattox the mercenary tactician has elements of the original's Clarence Boddicker and Paul McDaggett. Dr. Norton and Jae Kim combine Bob Morton and the trilogy's entire crew of sympathetic OCP scientists like Dr. Marie Lazarus.

RoboCop (2014) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: "The Novak Element" can be seen as one for Fox News or CNN with how Novak cuts off Senator Dreyfus in mid-sentence because they are pushing a pro-robotics spin. Similar methods have actually been used on Fox News programs, and some groups refuse to accept invitations because they don't believe they will receive fair air time. OmniCorp Security is based on the Urban Rehabilitators from RoboCop 3, as both groups use grey camouflage.

RoboCop (2014) / int_e5a6888c	comment	Quick Draw: Murphy walks into the police station and confronts a fellow officer with evidence of him being a Dirty Cop. Despite the evidence playing on the computer screens for the entire department to see (or perhaps because of this) he decides to draw his weapon to kill RoboCop, who is sitting right in front of him with his armored visor up, suffering visible gunshot damage from an earlier battle. Unfortunately for him, Murphy's enhanced cyborg reflexes are working just fine and his software accurately predicts that the soon-to-be victim is about to shoot him.

RoboCop (2014) / int_eb251937	comment	When Robocop is interrogating two dirty cops at the police station, he concludes by coldly quipping "Thank you for your cooperation, you can cuff him now Jack." This is a call back to RoboCop (1987) when Robocop thanks the liquor store owners for their support when Murphy confronts the robber. However, some viewers did read this as Robocop thanking the now-unconscious robber so this may even be a shout-out to that idea.

The intent was to get themselves caught on camera doing it as a statement against the drone use in their country. They specifically make it a point to avoid getting anyone other than themselves killed, as that would send the wrong message.

Early set photos showed the black version of the suit, which upset fans until it's revealed the classic silvery blue is still in the movie. At the end he goes back to the blue.

The "combat mode" for instance, was made because if Murphy doesn't perform as well as the pure-robots than he will never go home and see his family again.
