So I walk into the living room, and I'm by myself. Suddenly this feeling came over me, like I had to do something important right then and there. I looked toward a small shelf which has a few DVDs on it, and there it was, calling out to me: Robocop.

I was confused at first. I'd seen the film before. What lies within it this time that beckons to me? I walked over to the shelf and eased it out from between copies of "Night of the Creeps" and "Tenebre" (I don't like to alphabetize my DVDs, sue me). Cautiously I tugged at the edges on the right side until I heard a sort of "click" sound, and then I opened up the plastic case as though it were a book. The disc was sitting there in the case, having fallen off the circular inset, but it was right-side up, and again I read that title, this time aloud: Robocop.

I took it to the DVD player, and pressed the eject button, waiting impatiently for the tray to come out. Once it did, I sighed, annoyed that my sister left her copy of "The Lion King 2" in the player instead of putting it away. So I found the case to her movie and did what she should have done, and then I finally got the film in the player. I stayed there, even as the previews began to play, listening to the disc spinning inside the machine. Still not sure what could be so special about the film, I sat down on the couch, and pressed the menu button on the remote.

When the menu came up, I felt it again, as the famous theme by Basil Poledouris began to play. What could this feeling be, I thought to myself. I looked at the clock, and I could feel the sweat trickling from my pores as I fumbled with the remote control. Then, I pressed play.

I...changed.

After a stunning 103 minutes, I looked at myself, and I was...different. I flexed my fingers, looking at both sides of my hands, and I was amazed. When the menu came back to the screen, that glorious music playing once again, I realized why I had to do this. After watching Alex Murphy get blown to bits, and then reassembled into a steel golem, I finally knew what was so important about that moment. I stood up, and I cried out with glory and passion, reaching up to the heavens.

At that moment, I knew the awe and wonder of being human.

SOMEONE WHO SHARES MY PASSION FOR ROBOCOP!! ASDGHJKL heart

There is a movement to have a Robocop statue built and put on public display in Detroit. A movement I fully support, because it's ******** Robocop. Philadelphia gets a Rocky statue, so what the hell? Why not?

[xoxTheQueenxox]

THIS MUST BE DONE!! Is there some kind of petition to sign or something?! I'd sign it in a heartbeat! xd

My bass teacher loves Robocop, too :'3 He bought me a Robocop shirt for Christmas. It has him half standing out of his car, and to his side it says "Part Man, Part Machine, All Cop". emotion_awesome

Have you seen the second and third ones? biggrin

And the TV show. And those TV movies. And that one cartoon, the name of which escapes me somehow...

Good Heavens! :'D THANK YOU!!

Alright I must tell you my story, one night of just playing around on the net nothing to do,something came to me,I wanted to watch movies. I looked around,after watching judge dredd Netflix suggested.......ROBOCOP! I was stunned....I was amazed! I looked at all that Netflix had to offer.....it was a sign from god,that I was destined to watch these again after three years of not watching it cause I had no vhs player, I slowly clicked the play button on Robocop 1 and after the stunning adventure within the movie....I wanted more, I then watched Robocop 2, and after, my hunger was not sated,I just wanted more! Then, there was Robocop 3,wich I might add was my favorite,that was the movie that got me hooked to Robocop,I saw the third first, and I was just a little boy of the age of 10, I once had a Robocop Action figure but sadly lost it I would always hold it as I watched it my ten year old eyes stuck to the tv. but after watching that one I begged my parents to get the first and second,so they did and I was blown away forever, I can appreciate the old 'dumb' CG graphics they used,because I grew up with Robocop. After watching the third, I was shocked again how there was more,OH SO MUCH MORE! the Prime Directives movie shows I watched them all and jizzed my pants.....thank you.

THANK YOU ROBOCOP!

[spooky_sez]

Last year I watched Robocop again for the first time since I was ten. It ROCKS! I has NO IDEA!
The way it touches on the media and privatisation really impressed me. Those television commercials are great. All sci-fi/action flicks from the eighties are diamonds!

Now if only they'd make a full length Kick-Puncher film...

[Variados Uruibi]

I used to live in Honduras when I watch Robocop.. and then... I thought I wonder if that city looks like that in real life. Detroit I wonder... and few years later I end up in Detroit. Yes, Detroit is quite apocalyptic. Robocop is one of those Hero movies that stay with you. I re-watch it once in a while.. but this time I point out things that no one looks at.. ^_^

[Seiko of Darkness]

I just saw the trilogy, it is very good.

[hatta]

Man, this takes me back. I was like 5 when I first saw robocop, admittingly, I don't really remember how I felt watching it, the copy i had wasn't the best giving we'd recorded the damned thing off the tv, gonk man that kind of crap is done digitaly these days, scream you young kids don't know what it was like tyring to find a VHS tape with enough film to record something on and God forbid you tape over something that your older sibling loved. So yeah I remember I spent a majority of childhood walking round making that ''whathump whathump'' noise, that Robo's steps make sweatdrop
good times.

Then I guess I forgot about those times, well I didn't forget but, Batman blasted onto the scene and the knight took my imagination and wrestled it into submission. I was about 15/16 I'd just left school and I was working with my dad, with my first pay check I was like ''Okay, lets get me some films!, so I'm just browsing the dvd store when BAM! it's there Robo's face just staring at me, that black visor illuding me to what he may be seeing or thinking. Down the side it says Robocop 'Trilogy' BINGO all 3 fricking films in one box and it was on sale. It was like god himself had willed that purchase, I spent how ever many hours those movies combined are, crying with joy that I could now fully appretiate those films with a better understanding of what was going on.Plus seeing the directors cut of the first movie, for the extended execution scene, That would have probbably traumatized me as a kid xD.

But yeah, I still watch them religiously, they always find their way into movie marathon's I hold with my friends and I always make sure to watch them at least once a year, even if it's purely for nostalgia's sake. For anyone who hasn't seen them, you have to, even if it's just the first one, it's one of those films that should be part of anyone's collection.That said I do also like me some Terminator too <w< but I couldn't for the life of me have to pick between Robocop or Terminator.

I love all the robocop movies! when i'm flipping through channels, robocop is one of those things that will stop me dead in my channel flipping tracks until the end. and as i'm watching, having caught the movie in the middle, i will prey for an encore showing right after!

I loved the movies, but older movies have a tendency to not be as good as current day movies due to major increases in technology. i would love it if it were remade!!!

[RedComet01]

I've long been a fan of Robocop. I think the writers came up with a very good story for this film. Before Robocop, only a few other people had thought about what might happen if a human was changed into a cyborg.

[Short Change Hero]

I liked the original but the sequels were terrible.. especially the one where they made the superior sword wielding robot guy who was insanely agile and deadly.. yet the very slow, clunky and chopped up Robocop still beat him DX
