RoboCop is a Cyberpunk film, TV, comic and video game franchise. Set in an eerily-prescient version of Detroit, the over-burdened and under-staffed police force is privatized and given to Omni Consumer Products (OCP), who effectively own the city. OCP builds a Cyborg from the remains of Officer Alex Murphy, a hero cop who was murdered in the line of duty. Armed with bulletproof armor, an impossibly-steady hand, and a computerized brain, RoboCop is touted as "the future of law enforcement" and dispatched to the warzone of "Old Detroit". But he is ultimately a tool for public-relations, and the soul of Murphy remains restless.It all got its start with the film RoboCop (1987), directed by Paul Verhoeven. What was originally thought to be a B-Movie flick became a smash hit as a gritty, ultra-violent, darkly humorous film which featured a great deal of social commentary and political satire on such subjects as capitalism, privatization, the environment, and public apathy. It also has a rich undertone similar to the Golem of Jewish folklore, an ensouled artificial creation who is a mere shadow of a man. The film worked as pure summer entertainment as well, with taut action sequences, impressive production design, and memorable characters. Its smash success spawned a series of sequels and spin-offs while providing a huge shot in the arm for the Super Hero film genre that the Box Office Bomb of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace almost sunk in the same year.The first sequel, RoboCop 2 (1990), was even more violent and edgier than the first, going so far as to include a child as one of the primary villains. Relying too heavily on raw violence and shock value while having less of the satirical humor that defined its predecessor, the sequel was not as popular as the original film. Frank Miller wrote the original screenplay; although the script was heavily altered to fit a movie format, his influence in the themes of the film can be identified, including scenes in which a focus group attempts to make RoboCop more family-friendly (rendering him unable to do his job). Avatar Press later turned his original vision of the film into a comic book series, Frank Miller's RoboCop.RoboCop 3 (1993) substituted the adult violence for something more tame, since the film was rated PG-13. Too mild in the action and edging into kiddie-film territory, this film bombed both financially and critically.Despite the very adult material, the character of RoboCop has the general makings of a classic Superhero Origin story, and as such, the character has appeared in at least four different incarnations on TV. In all of them, to one degree or another, the ultraviolence and corporate/political satire is stripped away in favor of superheroics and corny humor: RoboCop: The Animated Series: Animated Adaptation, 1988. Produced by Marvel Comics' Marvel Productions division for the syndicated Marvel Action Universe block (notable for the fact that the funding for the 13th episode was used instead to make Pryde of the X-Men). Very much like the above. Also introduced a toyetic group of sidekicks called the Ultra Police. At least some of the stories were good. RoboCop: The Series: Live action, 1994. Gave Robo a holographic woman partner, a kid sidekick, and a variety of gadgets. On the other hand, it was occasionally hysterical. "I can't believe it! He's a Milken Scholar!" RoboCop: Alpha Commando: Animated, 1998. Which was less than well received. Filled the world with smartass AIs. RoboCop: Prime Directives: Live-Action, Miniseries, 2000. Focused more on the franchise's dark and satirical elements as opposed to the more family friendly 1994 series. Received an ambivalent response.A Continuity Reboot has been released in 2014, directed by José Padilha of The Elite Squad fame.RoboCop (2014) carries the same basic premise, with Joel Kinnaman as Officer Alex Murphy, brutally crippled by a car bomb. Omni-Corp secures permission from his wife to transform him into RoboCop, a new marketing tool to help Americans feel more comfortable with the military robots being used overseas. Omni-Corp feels confident that they have Murphy under their control, but he has other plans. Supporting roles are played by Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, and Jackie Earle Haley. A mock website for the company was created for OmniCorp.Comic Books include: Marvel Comics RoboCop (1987) - Based on the Movie RoboCop (1990–1992) RoboCop 2 (1990) - Based on the Movie Dark Horse Comics RoboCop Versus The Terminator (1992) RoboCop: Prime Suspect (1992–1993) RoboCop 3 (1993) - Based on the Movie RoboCop: Mortal Coils (1993) RoboCop: Roulette (1993–1994) Avatar Press Frank Miller's RoboCop (2003–2006) RoboCop: Killing Machine (2004) RoboCop: Wild Child (2005) Dynamite Entertainment RoboCop/RoboCop: Revolution (2010) Terminator/RoboCop: Kill Human (2011) RoboCop: Road Trip (2012) Boom!

RoboCop: Dead Or Alive (2014-2015) RoboCop: Citizens Arrest (2018)Literature include: RoboCop (1986) - Novelization of RoboCop (1987) by Ed Naha that was based on early draft of the script thus has several differences to the final film.

RoboCop (1988) - the Data East arcade duology RoboCop 2 (1990) [same page] RoboCop 3 (1991) RoboCop Versus The Terminator (1993) - Based on RoboCop Versus The Terminator RoboCop (2003) RoboCop (2004) RoboCop (2014) RoboCop: Rogue City (2023)RoboCop also appeared in MOBA Legends as a guest character in 2016, 2019 as part of Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Colonel Sanders" ads and in 2020 as a Guest Fighter in Mortal Kombat 11, with Peter Weller reprising the role in the latter two for the first time since RoboCop 2.A four part docu-series titled RoboDoc: The Creation of Robocop premiered in 2023, which details the making of the original film and its legacy.While the origin story of a murdered cop resurrected as a cyborg dates back to 8 Man (1963), RoboCop's design was loosely based on the Toku Metal Heroes series (Space Sheriff Gavan) which Verhoven apparently enjoyed watching on his hotel room TV while in Japan. The reference came full circle in 1989, when Toei released Kidou Keiji Jiban, also a cyborg police officer who operated under a set of directives.

Heroic BSoD: RoboCop has an extended one in the original film, beginning when Boddicker's henchman Emil tells him, "We killed you!!" This continues through the sequence where he returns to his abandoned home and rediscovers his identity as Murphy, not ending until he begins his Roaring Rampage of Revenge at the drug factory. In the 2014 remake, it happens to him during Omnicorp's uploading of the police database into his memory and comes across his own case file.

David Versus Goliath: RoboCop vs. ED-209 in the first film, a taller and more heavily armed robotic walker. Murphy manages to disable it by fleeing down some stairs. He also takes out a second unit using a Cobra Assault Cannon. The climax of the second film has an Upgrade Versus Prototype Fight with Murphy against RoboCain, where the latter is much larger, can take more punishment, and is fitted with much bigger guns.

Crapsack World
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World Detroit. Full of crime and Corrupt Corporate Executives. It got worse when the cops went on strike in the first film, and by the time of the third film it's even worse, with people in danger of having wrecking balls tear through their house while they're still living there. And it's not just limited to Detroit, either. In the first film, an orbiting defense satellite misfires and causes thousands of acres of forest to burn in California, killing several when it also sweeps through some homes, as well as two former US Presidents who retired to that area. In the second film, the ED-209 bots are deployed in five major cities despite its continuing malfunctions; and a nuclear power plant in the Amazon goes critical, irradiating the entire rainforest. Additionally, there's an ongoing war in the Amazon, too, with Cain and the Rehabs being vets of it. Also from the second film, it seems that skin cancer due to the lack of ozone layer is a pretty common problem. The chemicals you can buy to protect you from that, are also highly carcinogenic! It's also perfectly legal to purchase the MagnaVolt - when a car thief breaks into your car, the moment he sits down, shackles spring up around his arms and legs, turning the seat into an electric chair. In the reboot RoboCop film, the world is a little better than the original but is still bad. Certain fishes are in danger of extinction due to overfishing by sushi restaurants, Brazil has legalized all types of drugs, Greenpeace is now a terrorist group and Tehran is now under occupation by a US droid army who are so effective in fighting that most citizens choose to accept it out of fear. Meanwhile, crime in Detroit has gotten so bad that the city set up Sinister Surveillance everywhere and yet this still doesn't stop criminals for committing crimes in front of a camera. Also, gangs now have access to military hardware like assault rifles and grenades. The world in The Series is leagues above the world seen in the original film trilogy, but it isn't a picnic, either, with a war in the Amazon going on, sections of Beverly Hills and Brooklyn have been walled off, and it's perfectly legal to market plushies that double as hand grenades and steroids to children, speaking English in France can land you in jail, the Italian government has fallen, and the mayor and DA are corrupt and in league with other criminals (with the latter having a fake law degree and helped to frame someone for said phony degree).

Awesome, but Impractical
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: ED-209. It's a big, intimidating automated walking tank loaded with massive guns and rocket launchers, intended for use in urban pacification and with potential military applications. Its initial test is a disaster, as it is unable to recognise that its target has surrendered, leading to the death of an OCP executive. Also, it's utterly useless on stairs, falling over when attempting to chase RoboCop. The second and third films show its further flaws, with it getting stuck in a open manhole in RoboCop 2 and being hilariously easy to reprogram (by a child, no less) in RoboCop 3. Dick Jones notes that it didn't have to work, as OCP would make a fortune in repairs and spare parts for years to come. The 6000 SUX: reclining leather seats, cruise control, a Blaupunkt radio and, yes, it goes really fast with really shitty gas mileage (of 8.2 miles to the gallon no less). It's a dig at the Pontiac 6000 and in-universe it's a car that a rich executive would buy to show off how rich he is .

Can't Use Stairs: Famously, ED-209, ostensibly built for urban law enforcement, was designed without the ability to navigate a simple staircase. Justified in-story, as it was a poorly-conceived design in several ways, which is why the project was abandoned in favor of the titular character.

Urban Hellscape: This is one of the most famous examples of the trope. In its world, the MegaCorp OCP completely controls Detroit, and the city itself has fallen into a lawless mess where cops themselves are owned by OCP and die in the line of duty every single night. The gangs which run the city are barbaric, murderous sadists, and even more petty criminals run around the streets completely unopposed. The eponymous hero, RoboCop, is a nigh-unstoppable Cyborg that is created to fight these criminals and (since everything he sees and hears is recorded) has the authority to act with lethal force.

Zeerust: The Ford Taurus cars used as police cars looked amazingly futuristic in 1987. Now, a lot less so. The models and graphics that OCP uses to promote Delta City have a rather Zeerusty flavor as well, particularly the ad at the beginning of the third film. The computer graphics in general are pretty terrible, especially the computers at the police station that have Loads and Loads of Loading. Even the resolution on Robo's HUD isn't very good. It's also a little jarring that everyone still uses CRT monitors in a movie set in the future.

Do-Anything Robot: Cyborg in this case. RoboCop is a lot like Inspector Gadget in this iteration as Murphy has several more weapons than just a laser version of his classic gun and including some that makes no sense for Murphy to have whatsoever (the hostage situation as the start of "Doppelganger" and "Francesca's Quest"'s climax were resolved with a ping-pong paddle and a self-heating ice cream scoop respectively).

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Averted. At first OCP believes Murphy no longer retains any traces of his humanity, but it turns out he does as he regains his memories of his old self. The Reboot continues to avert this: in his first simulation, Murphy is noticeably slower than an EM-208, because unlike the EM-208 that fearlessly moves through the killhouse and headshots the perps decisively, Murphy clears his corners like a cop, and tries to talk them down. Dr. Norton has to do a fair bit of work to get the soul-eating done, culminating with artificially lowering Murphy's dopamine levels from 26% (normal) to 2%. Murphy later gets better.

Murphy himself displayed this when he attempted to fire Guns Akimbo during a car chase. At a distance of less than 20 feet, he rarely even managed to hit the van, and only one of the passengers. May count as Improbable Aiming Skills, however, since he was leaning unsupported out of the window of a speeding car and shooting at a speeding van. Could lay the foundations for Robo's expert marksmanship if Murphy already had some skills as a human.

The Uriah Gambit: An odd variation in which the instigator had no real disagreement with the victim; Bob Morton just wanted a skilled, experienced police officer to turn into a cyborg... and for that officer to be dead so as to make use of loopholes in their contracts to permit the procedure. So he purposefully had top cops like Murphy and Lewis assigned to areas where he expected them to be killed within a 90 days... and got what he wanted within a week.

Adaptation Amalgamation: Screenwriter Edward Neumeier had written a screenplay about a robot that becomes a cop. When he met fellow writer Michael Miner it turned out that Miner was working on a screenplay about a human cop becoming a robot. They decided to combine the ideas and RoboCop (1987) was the result.

Armor Is Useless
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Averted and also played straight throughout all three films. In the first movie, in the moments leading up to his slaughter, Boddicker takes off Murphy's helmet, but let him keep his vest. The standard issue police body armor keeps him alive long enough for the paramedics to arrive and attempt to save his life. If it wasn't for his vest, Alex wouldn't have had much of a fighting chance after being shot repeatedly at close range from sustained shotgun fire. However, the vest doesn't protect him from Boddicker putting a coup de grace in his head. RoboCop's titanium/kevlar armor is more than adequate for protection against small arms fire and explosions, but once the armor is dented by the ED-209 heavy weapons he is slightly more vulnerable when the police are turned on him... and it's an entire crowd of cops with automatic weapons and shotguns, as well. In the second movie RoboCop is fired at with varying degrees of man portable weaponry including a rocket launcher or two and he still keeps on going. However a .50 caliber M2 is enough to take his hand off and a jackhammer is sufficient to disassemble him (eventually). In the third film, a single round from a grenade launcher is enough to disable him.

Family-Unfriendly Violence: Downplayed. Both the backstory in the opening and the episode featuring Robocop's nemesis Clarence Boddicker show Murphy being gunned down in the line of duty; the opening explicitly mentions him as being mortally wounded and the flashback in the episode is pretty much the same as what happened in the film but cuts out just as Boddicker and his lackeys start firing.

Jerkass Has a Point
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: In one episode, Lt. Hitchcock sets the record on the highest difficulty setting of a dangerous training course, which Robocop then quickly beats himself. Hitchcock scoffs that all cops should have armor-plating, and that's one of several times Lewis gets on him for being jealous that Robocop's more of a man than he is. While the rest of the episode leaves no doubt that Hitchcock's an ass, he does still make a point about how amped-up Robocop is and how his results don't really prove anything. That training course was made for human police officers, and regardless of his crappy attitude, Hitchcock did set the best time through his own abilities. Robocop's abilities, on the other hand, are all artificial; he beat Hitchcock's record not because of his own experience as a police officer, but because he's Nigh-Invulnerable and has Super-Strength, and he walked right through all the obstacles anybody else would've needed to avoid. Indeed, later in the episode Hitchcock is given a suit of Powered Armor and takes on Robocop on more even footing and almost destroys him. The tables only turn when thinking Lewis is dead sends Robocop on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

In the reboot RoboCop film, the world is a little better than the original but is still bad. Certain fishes are in danger of extinction due to overfishing by sushi restaurants, Brazil has legalized all types of drugs, Greenpeace is now a terrorist group and Tehran is now under occupation by a US droid army who are so effective in fighting that most citizens choose to accept it out of fear. Meanwhile, crime in Detroit has gotten so bad that the city set up Sinister Surveillance everywhere and yet this still doesn't stop criminals for committing crimes in front of a camera. Also, gangs now have access to military hardware like assault rifles and grenades.

Artistic License – Law Enforcement
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_8a8f37f9
comment
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: In Real Life, police officers (at least in modern democracies without high levels of police corruption) have to adhere to "use of force continuum" guidelines on the amount of force they are allowed to use when confronting suspects - they can’t just shoot someone who decides to be uncooperative during an arrest for example. Naturally if a suspect is shooting at an officer they are allowed to shoot back until the suspect surrenders or is killed/incapacitated. However this falls down where Robocop is concerned as he’s essentially immune to anything less than military grade weaponry - police can’t use lethal force against attacks that don’t have any danger of serious bodily injury or death. Robocop shooting armed attackers (with normal small arms) is the equivalent of normal police shooting someone throwing snowballs at them - Robocop should simply be walking up to the suspect, disarming them then arresting them.

The computer graphics in general are pretty terrible, especially the computers at the police station that have Loads and Loads of Loading. Even the resolution on Robo's HUD isn't very good. It's also a little jarring that everyone still uses CRT monitors in a movie set in the future.

A-Team Firing
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_964ea66c
comment
A-Team Firing All those assault cannons in the first movie's climax, and RoboCop doesn't take a single hit. In general, Robo takes a lot of hits to the chest and none to that few inches of face, though there's at least one scene where he shields his face with an arm. One of the street punks in one of the movies lampshades this, shouting "Shoot him in the mouth!" It likely wouldn't matter... Murphy's face is implied to be just a layer of flesh stuck atop his new metal cranium, getting shot there would probably only hurt his marketability. Though it's never made clear if the flesh is actually from his original body, or a skin graft made to resemble it. It's worth noting that future attempts at making RoboCops seen in RoboCop 2 imply that they do use some parts of the actual body. Even the first film indicates that Murphy's body is at least partially reused in the cyborg body since they at one point discuss the fact that he still has his human left arm up until Bob Morton tells them to amputate it. If that's accurate, then the actual face may actually be Murphy's actual flesh and the front of his original skull. In addition, RoboCop actually does need to eat in the film, though the changes in his body mean he's effectively stuck using baby food or at least a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for it, and they claim it sustains his organics. Averted throughout the movie by other enemies, though. The confrontation with ED-209 and the subsequent arrival of the SWAT teams and police see RoboCop barely survive after being targeted mercilessly with assault cannons, machine guns, shotguns and a couple of rockets. Murphy himself displayed this when he attempted to fire Guns Akimbo during a car chase. At a distance of less than 20 feet, he rarely even managed to hit the van, and only one of the passengers. May count as Improbable Aiming Skills, however, since he was leaning unsupported out of the window of a speeding car and shooting at a speeding van. Could lay the foundations for Robo's expert marksmanship if Murphy already had some skills as a human.

Hand Cannon: Robo, natch, as well as many of the bad guys. Murphy's gun is a Beretta 93R fully automatic pistol, modified to look even bigger and spit foot-long flames with every three-round burst. The real Beretta 93R cannot fire in full-automatic; only single and three-round burst. According to the TV Series, it packs armor-piercing ammo, which is shown to be capable of firing through a wall, several pipes, and the metal sides of a hot tub, and still have killing power.

The Gunslinger: Averted in that the human Murphy was a notably crappy shot in the first movie. About the only remotely gunslinger-like move he could pull off was the trigger-guard gun spin, and that only because he forced himself to learn it to impress his son. Robo's Improbable Aiming Skills are strictly programming (well, all except the spin).

Development Hell: Delta City is a notable in universe example. During the first film, construction is supposed to begin in six months, but the second film is noted to take place a year later and there's still no sign of it. Part of the Old Man's Evil Plan is for the city to renege on its debts so OCP can foreclose and replace Detroit with Delta City. Even by the third film, OCP is still only in the process of clearing out residents so they can demolish their homes to make way for construction. However, in both the TV series and the Prime Directives mini series, Delta City is eventually completed.

Homegrown Hero: Both in-universe and in real life. The movies depict RoboCop as something of a hero to children in the movies, especially from 3 up, and in the live action and animated TV shows. In real life, a statue of RoboCop was proposed for Detroit, and 25,000 offered up to make it happen. Detroit has no problem with claiming Murphy as one of their own in the same way that Philadelphia has embraced Rocky Balboa or New York has claimed Spider-Man, since there are so few fictional characters from Detroit. As such, Detroit natives are likely to have a certain justifiable pride at knowing one of the most well loved cyborgs of all time is their representative into the world of pop culture, even if his real life creator may not have been from there.

Bottomless Magazines: Nobody in these movies ever seems to reload their guns, even RoboCop and his machine pistol.note Murphy actually reloads the Auto-9 a grand total of twice time in all three movies. The first time he reloads his pistol is in the first movie before the final battle with Boddicker and his gang, then fires it several times. The second time is during his raid on a Nuke lab in the opening of 2 in, hilariously, the scene in which he probably fires it the least.

Too Dumb to Live: Let’s go all the way and call out essentially anybody who genuinely believes they can defeat a heavily armoured 100% accurate police cyborg without strength of numbers and/or heavy weaponry. The second movie hinges on OCP trying to build a successor to Murphy, but these "RoboFlops" do not have Murphy's Determinator attitude and so cannot keep their sanity intact after being cut up and augmented with cybernetics. The scientist in charge offers an... interesting solution: use death row inmates, because the power and immortality would appeal to them. Naturally, it ends really badly.

RoboCop, a classic rumination on Capitalism is Evil, has its title character featured in a Korean advert for a chicken-frying machine. Also, the general idea behind RoboCop and the sheer amount of merchandise behind the character, to the point it becomes bizarre, as mentioned in the Misaimed Fandom section.

Outside-Context Problem
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_cc7fae30
comment
Outside-Context Problem: After Murphy is rebuilt into a cyborg, he spends most of the first film relentlessly haunting and taking down criminals in Old Detroit. Robo Cop is so beyond anything they have ever experience that they're completely helpless before him and he takes down the drug lords who murdered him without taking any damage. A newscaster in the movie compared it to a comic book hero coming to life. It takes the criminals gaining access to military weapons and help from the big number two at OCP just to slow Robo Cop down. He's still somewhat this in the latter films since the common thug, gang banger, drug trafficker, rapist, or murderer can't harm him, although smart criminals like Cain from RoboCop 2 and the hired mercenaries led by Mc Daggett in RoboCop 3 can take him down. However, that is only if they're expecting him. If they're not, Robo Cop completely curb stomps them.

Gun Twirling: Murphy is seen practicing spinning his service pistol a few times in the first movie, a move he learned to impress his son (who saw it on a TV show). As RoboCop, it becomes his signature.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Rip Torn's character in the third movie is only referred to as "the CEO" (though while it doesn't state his first name, in a case of All There in the Manual, Dark Horse Comics's adaptation does state he's Bob Morton's dad) and David Gardner's character in The Series is referred to only as "The OCP Chairman".

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: One of the greatest of debates, RoboCop Versus The Terminator — who will win? An excellent graphic novel and a video game. RoboCop wins, but only because of a bizarre, but logical, time travel plot involving no less than three timeline alterations. DEATH BATTLE! does a more logical, in-depth analysis and pits Murphy against the T-850 on more or less equal terms. The verdict: Murphy STILL wins.

Continuity Snarl: In the first movie, Sgt. Reed's first name was given by Johnson as "John", but in the second movie, during his reprogramming by Faxx, Murphy calls him "Warren". — unlike some of Murphy's other actions before he rids himself of to Faxx's tampering, it can't be chalked up to that, either, as the comic adaptation of an early script of RoboCop 3, RoboCop: Last Stand does confirm that "Warren" was intended to be Reed's name as he was addressed there as "Sgt. Warren Reed" with the now-retired Reed's only rebuttal being he was no longer a cop, so Frank Miller, who co-wrote both 2 and 3, just couldn't be bothered to remember that Reed's first name was already stated.

Flanderization: The Old Man of OCP is, in the first film, something of an occasionally eccentric CEO of the company who reacts to the butchering of one of his employees with an "I'm very disappointed," but is otherwise presented as, if not benevolent, then decent enough individual who wants to make Detroit better and plans to do so by not only redeveloping Old Detroit into Delta City, but also funding public services and the like. He's not good, but he's certainly not evil. The next films have him as an outright Corrupt Corporate Executive who is complicit in the butchering of several police officers for the RoboCop 2 project, and who throws one of his employees to the wolves when it doesn't work out, and he only gets worse from there.

The second movie hinges on OCP trying to build a successor to Murphy, but these "RoboFlops" do not have Murphy's Determinator attitude and so cannot keep their sanity intact after being cut up and augmented with cybernetics. The scientist in charge offers an... interesting solution: use death row inmates, because the power and immortality would appeal to them. Naturally, it ends really badly.

comment
20 Minutes into the Future: A good chunk of which they got right at least as far as the setting was concerned: Bankrupt industries. The criminally corrupt city government and the flat broke police department. The rampant Detroit crime rate, though thankfully not the street scenes out of Hieronymus Bosch. Cars with reclining leather seats, that go really fast and get really shitty gas mileage The rise of CD's as the norm of visual media, as shown in Bob Morton's death scene in the first movie. The PDA/GPS that Jones and Boddicker use to track RoboCop's movements through the city. It even looks like a Palm V-series. Rampagingly sensationalistic "news entertainment". OCP's privatization in "hospitals, prisons, space exploration".

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_f5a3e496
comment
One of the street punks in one of the movies lampshades this, shouting "Shoot him in the mouth!" It likely wouldn't matter... Murphy's face is implied to be just a layer of flesh stuck atop his new metal cranium, getting shot there would probably only hurt his marketability. Though it's never made clear if the flesh is actually from his original body, or a skin graft made to resemble it. It's worth noting that future attempts at making RoboCops seen in RoboCop 2 imply that they do use some parts of the actual body. Even the first film indicates that Murphy's body is at least partially reused in the cyborg body since they at one point discuss the fact that he still has his human left arm up until Bob Morton tells them to amputate it. If that's accurate, then the actual face may actually be Murphy's actual flesh and the front of his original skull. In addition, RoboCop actually does need to eat in the film, though the changes in his body mean he's effectively stuck using baby food or at least a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for it, and they claim it sustains his organics.

Great Offscreen War
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_f722f635
comment
Great Offscreen War: Both the second and third movies, as well as The Series and Frank Miller's original script for the second movie, have mentions of a war in the Amazon: The second movie sees Faxx looking up files on Cain with a mention of Cain serving in the war and the third has the Rehabs composed of vets of it and Lewis reading a copy of USA Today with a headline about the war escalating in the scene with the failed donut shop robbery. Miller's original script for 2 had the idea of the Rehabs having served in a war in the Amazon, with Reed also have served in said war and recognizing the Rehabs as mercs (and dreading them, especially Kong, the character that'd be split off into Cain and McDaggett). It's even mentioned in The Series, as the episode "Ghosts of War" revolves around a special ops group was that declared dead suffering from psychological issues and included a childhood friend of Murphy's, and it's still an ongoing conflict.

Artistic License – Physics
 RoboCop (Franchise) / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Robocop's Titanium/Kevlar armor would, in reality, be very poor protection. Titanium is prized for its weight-to-strength ratio, but is still significantly softer and less durable than steel. Furthermore, Kevlar is a fabric that works by creating a strong, tear-resistant mesh that "catches" bullets and slows them down without letting them penetrate the fabric. It is ineffective against high-velocity projectiles such as explosive shrapnel, rifle ammunition, and explosives. These materials were likely used simply because they sounded very futuristic and cool by 80s standards. note  In his DEATH BATTLE! appearance, Robocop's armor is described as "Carbo-ceramic Titanium, laminated with kevlar," suggesting there's more to the armor than what the movies say.

Shown Their Work: Many setting details are correct despite the films being shot elsewhere. The first was filmed in Dallas, the second was filmed in Houston, and the third was filmed in Atlanta. The DPD precinct system — it is organized by geography not the usual precinct numbers. The local hospitals. There really is a Henry Ford Hospital that's a Level 1 trauma center. The neighborhoods: "Cadillac Heights" from the third movie is apparently somewhere in the old Black Bottom, across Woodward from the university district and just south of Hamtramck. The trauma team that works on Murphy as he dies is a real trauma team, and their dialog was mostly ad-libbed. In the commentary, the writers say they wished they could have come up with a line like "Let's shock a flat line and quit."
