@@TheGrimFamily I mean, there's no reason for them to be cars at all, you could have done it with people just as well. And because they were cars, we now have the planes spinoff.
Planes 2 was actually really good, nobody saw it because the first one was so bad.
😂😂😂😂😂
Just an FYI. The brain surgery part is pretty accurate. They keep patients awake so that they can ask them questions so they can tell if they are in the right parts of the brain or not and to make sure they didn't accidentally damage something. Oh and there would be no "ouch" as the brain doesn't feel pain.
Correct no pain receptors in the Brain
You're wrong!
Actually, no, you are right. I had a Deep Brain Stimulator implanted in 2013, and since my dystonia affected my neck and torso so much I was under for all of it. Which was alright with me, spasms or no there is no way in hell I wanted to be awake while they drilled holes in my skull. Not sure local anesthesia would have masked just how creepy that'd be.
Seraphim Valkyrin Huh, I did not know that. Interesting but also sort of disconcerting too? Like, the fact that there are pain receptors everywhere in your body EXCEPT on arguably the most important organ.
@@gothicMCRgirl No it makes plenty of sense if you understand evolutionary biology, all of our nerves stem from the brain, the skull is meant to protect the brain which is why you feel it in your skull, feeling it in the brain wouldn't make sense in terms of how the nervous system is developed and what we understand about the brain. It'd have to have a whole extra layer of "brain goo" or some kinda "brain muscle" for nerves to attach to to send signals into the brain and even then it wouldn't directly be the brain feeling pain.
I hope that made sense. I suck at layman explanations when it comes to neurology and evolutionary biology more often than not (esp if you ask the people I teach! lol)
Seraphim Valkyrin true. You feel pain where there’s nerves

• We just reviewed it.
▪ And?
• *I can't remember a thing*
Lmao
Omg i just finished the video and i only remember the sponsor
Wait, there was a Robocop reboot?
The sad part is i can see it 80-90 times and i just remember the skits
Put a square peg in a round hole
I liked the first act when it commented on the increasing use of drones in warfare. I think that's a really interesting concept of how foreign policy would be influenced if we no longer had to worry about human casualties in our foreign wars and how authoritative the government would become if they had an unlimited police force to control us. I don't think it did enough with it though.
You keep talking about the hypothetical Robocop game about a man getting augmented and it being a game about choice and actions- I believe that's called Deus Ex, Critic- and yes, it turned out great.
Goku x Sephiroth I actually just started Human Revolution and thought the same thing while I watched it. Also, nice name.
Then the second game came along...and the third...it wasnt bad but...yeah the second game was kind of...shortish...third one was...i felt like i was the most famous man in the world yet all i do is punch people and be a bitter jerkass...but yeah i love them all
We need the studio who made Dues Ex to do Robocop.
@John Collins I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
Jeremy would love that game for sure
Fun fact: Your brain can’t feel any pain because it doesn’t have any pain receptors.
And quite a few brain surgeries take place with the patient awake as well.
Cool, but how the hell do headaches work then?
@@Guru_1092 Despite how they feel, especially the really bad ones like migraines, headaches aren't actually centered in the brain. The basic science is the nerves and blood vessels around the head and neck. The blood vessels can swell and the muscles can tighten and that's the source of the pain. Also keep in mind, there is more than one type of headache from basic to migraine and sinus. All of them are centered around the muscles of the head itself and not the brain. The brain is just receiving the pain signals from the nerves like any other kind of injury.
Guru Most headaches happen in the nerves, blood vessels and muscles that covers a person’s head and neck. So in reality headaches comes from what covers the brain or the scalp itself, but it can also take place inside the temples as well.
Seems like an intentional design flaw
24:05 This aged so well!!
Yeah. As someone that loves Robocop (the original), I really enjoyed Rouge City. It wasn't perfect of course, some things like the facial animations, and some animations in general are a bit rough, some of the VA (mainly the goons, they sound a little to Saturday morning cartoon to me), though getting Peter Weller back was awesome. I had a great time from start to finish. And IMO Rouge City is Robocop 3. Not the god awful movie we got.
I really forgot that there was a reboot of RoboCop... wow.
That's how forgettable it is.
Ditto!
Which is really the worst thing you can say about a movie
Same. And I saw it!
I saw it and I can remember about 30 seconds of it.
...Why do his CGI lungs breath independently from his inhaling and exhaling?
and how do they breath without any sort of diaphragm?
You dumbo he s dual vaping that s why
Because the filmmakers don't actually understand how the lungs work. They just slap them on and make them move up and down.
Bro you obviously don't vape.
@@JVH960 -- if the containers the lungs are in works as a vacuum pump (aka. an "Iron lung"), they do the breathing for him.
It's supposed to have a noticeable effect on how you talk though. Distinctive pauses and short sentences. Just watch some CZcams videos about polio survivors, and you'll notice it as soon as you start looking for it.
I've seen Joel Kinnaman in a bunch of movies over here in Sweden. He's a great actor (watch the Johan Falk-movies).
The studio didn't give him a good script, but he clearly did well with what he got.
He's also pretty good in Altered Carbon. He just needs an actual script. Not...whatever this was.
Just for the record, Elite Squad is a masterpiece and if you ever wonder how things are here in Brazil, that movie is pretty accurate
But is not in english so fuck it! /SARCASM
It's actually a shit movie
@@en3525robocop is, not tropa de elite or elite squad, it's because is a national brazilian movie and not international american movie, and it's so realistic to all the scenarios in own country of crimes and violence, the director know how to do brazillian action movie, but not american one.
The saddest part of the remake was that it was just boring. It wasn't good, and it wasn't overly bad. It just kinda happened. :/
BirdOfHermes couldn’t disagree more
Very boring and CGI was crap.

Both of the movies suck
@@galenirby3553 r/woooosh
Until I saw this on the side thingie watching another video, I never knew the 2014 Robocop movie even existed.
@@galenirby3553 probably because you’re a sucker
Fun fact: this reboot was originally supposed to be much more in tone with the original in terms of violence and gore, even going for an R rating. But the studio cut the budget necessary for it so they pretty much had to water it down.
I agree, otherwise why did they hire the director of Tropa d'Elite?
MGM, how the mighty have fallen...
ARX 351 yes, Elite Squad was so gritty and violent, this director seemed like an perfect choice.
Yet another movie ruined by studio meddling.
Violence, gore or sex would still not have made this work, there has to be a context. The original script had energetic dialogue, and direction from a European with a genuine dislike of American capitalism and had real war experience. the odd paring of american script with foreign film maker magically worked with Robocop. It was the perfect combination of American action story with a Dutch angle.
“You look like the Mega man version of Get Out.” 😂

From 27:30 to 27:48. The "little spurts and hands" part had me laughing for a good minute or two.

Don't worry, I'm fairly sure Japan still considers Korea rightfully part of Japan.
I would love to see a RoboCop game like Doug had mentioned. The psychological battle of having control over your thoughts and actions and/or the struggle between man and machine, artificial intelligence vs. human intelligence. With what Telltale did with licensed properties like The a Walking Dead and Batman, had they stayed afloat, I would have loved to see them take on this property and make a good decision based narrative. I just wish it would branch more like Quantic Dream’s Detroit: Become Human, as big a task as that would be.
well there is Robocop Rouge City coming out eventually.
I know it's been years, but Deus Ex provides that exact experience :)
Sir you are served
Rogue city!!!! Play it! It’s awesome!

*_THE GODFATHER INSERT KILLED ME 🤣🤣😂🤣_*
To be fair, Jose Padilha is actually a pretty decent filmmaker. He directed the surprise hit Elite Squad in 2007, created and produces "Narcos", and his Elite Squad sequel is still the biggest box office hit of all time in Brazil. Most of his work deals with numerous social issues with great skill, and from what I heard, he intended to make a smart, socially aware Robocop reboot film, but apparently studio interference ruined the movie. He told his pal Fernando Meirelles (director of the acclaimed "City of God") the following: "He is saying that it is the worst experience. For every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight. It's hell here. I have never suffered so much and do not want to do it again." A few years later, Padilha said: "I didn't have the creative freedom I needed. I spent 90% of the time fighting the studio. It made me realize that making a studio movie is not the same as making a film. I will think a million times before getting involved in another production of that size again. I got into this Hollywood business thinking that I could make the film I wanted, with my cinema criteria. My mistake."
You know, it'll never make any god damned sense to me why we even have "director" as an actual job in film if the studios are just going to hand them a paycheck, push them in a chair, and tell them to shut up. I mean, they're in the industry as a fucking director in the first place, because they want to be the one making the fucking movie! Directors more often than not know how to make good movies, and studios more often than not hire a director BECAUSE the have a history directing good movies, so it'll never cease to amaze, and piss me off why the hell a studio is going to hire a director for their movie if the whole time they're there they're going to deny them ANY creative control, and act like they can do it better than them.
Does the fucking movie industry even know how the hell movies are made, anymore?
I guess the studio took him to make "Elite squad 3" in english. Both elite squads are a perfect example of reverse robocop, where cops are losing their humanity because of social issues. And that assumed to be a twist in the old story of robocop. But USA isn't that cruel and most importantly people wouldn't watch this.
You can get away with one F-Bomb in a PG-13 movie but it has to be in a non-sexual context. Calling someone a "mother-f'er" is a sexual context.
Sam Jackson really doesn't discriminate what scripts are offered to him outside of guaranteed hits with Marvel does he.
But didn't "motherfucker" has the same context as "asshole"?
@@zenmanlovesgames9906 that the literary meaning. In "fuck" in context of fucking would be "I fucked that bitch three times." Or is it?
But calling someone a fucker isnt sexual? That's the way it was used in Bruce Almighty, Bruce called someone a fucker
Hanako is best girl it’s more of an insult, but depends on the context.
“I hate you, you fucker!” - insult
“You’re a better fucker than your sister. I only lasted 3 minutes.” - sexual

16:10 is the best part of this whole review.
The POV opening here is just SPOT ON, well done. Absolutely hilarious along with the review, it sums up my feelings of the film very well.

That’s not hard!
Funny thing is, My local Dollar Tree has the BLU-RAY - and I mean a ton of them.
Everytime I walk by the display, I say, wont buy that for a dollar!
Ha ha! Yeah, I see that movie at Big Lots all the time.
I mean, I'd buy it for a dollar. No more, though.

The fuck are you doing shopping at dollar tree? I have to do inventory there all the time, they are the most universally filthy stores imaginable and their fat bitch of a DM makes me realize what it must be like to work for Jabba the Hutt. Have some self respect, fucking walmart is better..
11:56 I wouldn't want my family to see me like that either. this is honestly way more emotional than you're giving it credit for
yea idk why everyone has a stick up there ass about this movie i think it was a great movie and wish theyd make more of them
Strongly disagree. As a father myself there is no way in hell if I found out I died and had a chance to see my kids and still be in their lives I wouldn’t take it. Even I was a talking eyeball. Anything to see and spend time with my children. Stone cold saying just say I’m dead without a second of hesitation is beyond stupid. Unless the movie portrayed him as a bad husband and father who hates being around his family then yes it would have hit stronger. They didn’t though.
@francisoffilth7953 He looks like a monster, a twisted malformation of what little organs he has remaining. He doesn't want to be seen as a monster to his family when he died an officer of the law, a hero. The entire movie is him accepting that his actions make him the hero and his family would continue to love him no matter what. I'm a father as well but the last thing I want my kids to see is their father as a sack of fucked up organs barely kept alive by a permanent suit of armor that I have little to no actual control over. Alex died as a hero, RoboCop was born a weapon.
@@dakotalane7983 well sure but I’d still figure out a way to still see them. I mean if they can take a dead person and transfer him into a robot. I’m sure they could come up with a way to FaceTime my family and look normal.
It really isn't tho.
12:15 - Are you kidding me?!
In the original Murphy never saw what's left of him underneath the armor.
Here he's not programmed, he's still himself, with personality... And just saw that the only parts of his body that remained were his hand, lungs, neck, heart and head...
That itself IS enough to drive a man crazy, depressed and suicidal.
Detroit: Become Robocop is basically Connor from that game
I was thinking Detroit: Become Human when he said it could be a game, and the way the windows look like "Uploading evidence files" has a similar look to the border the options you can select and such have.
Yup my thought exactly
I'd still rather watch this film than give Mr. Ze Bad Game any money :P
@@YouCanCallMeXoe detroit is an amazing game
I guess it is totally fair to expect a more emotional response from characters in films. But in real life reunions are often awkward and unsatisfying cause people don't know what to say or do. So, at least that one scene, i get why it is the way it is.
Yes, but even with that, people still express emotions. Maybe nothing big like tears and hugs, but small things like facial expressions and uncertain glances. The actors' deadpan looks in most of those scenes is what kills it.
If only it were different from what came before, that could be the motivation.
I do think the failings with the family were because the director was trying to make the Robocop and his family "realistic" and "average Americans".
Wait, your reunions are mostly so emotionless and awkward?
@@Konkretertyp awkward yes but there is at less smiles all around.
That “Why did the chicken cross the road” joke was fantastic, I don’t care what anyone says 😂😂😂
10:55 "This is where they make those Japanese Robocop commercials"
*Shows a KOREAN Robocop commercial*
Ok then
14:51 NC, your brain does not have pain receptors (i.e. nociceptors). But the tissue layers, like the meninges, does. If Murphy's head is already exposed, then you don't need anesthetics to operate on the brain.
Also, brain surgery is usually performed with the patient being conscious, it allows the surgeon to immediately be informed of anything funny going on.
{Haggis442312} I wanted to add that but too much text bogs down people. And yes, that is true. However, when I was shadowing a neurosurgeon, some of the other neurosurgeons I met did craniotomies with the patient out. It really depends on the operation being performed.
Ok you have no nerves in the brain but wouldnt it still hurt to have the top of your head removed from your body
@@RealDSY You have lots of nerves in the brain, just not the kind for feeling. Yes, the flesh and bone outside of the brain can feel plenty!
@@RealDSY true but Robocop had a brain case not a skull so...why did they put him under?

@@akatoshslayer7599
In the bin, they did mention that there was so much tissue damage it was impossible to reuse his limbs, they couldn't do a Vader and just stick Cybernetics to his stumps.
"Dead or alive you're coming with me" he meant that if he dies, then Keaton dies too, but if he stays alive, RoboCop is taking him in. Kind of like saying, "I'll see you in hell." It made perfect sense.
Or ya know it just means Either he's taking Keaton in dead or alive. It's not really that deep.
11:26 I'm surprised that he didn't make a joke on how it's a miracle that Alex wasn't shut down with his face in the water and drowned.

Fully agree on Doom, FOTNS, Shadow, and Guyver but the Wraith needs to stay in the 80's with that amazing 80's soundtrack!

No it doesn’t.
I want to see a remake with the car being used because of a bigger budget.
Why would they keep his ONE human hand and not cover it with a ballistic glove at least? Also at the end, why couldn't they have designed a body that he'd wear home that had adult man proportions? We can make prosthetic limbs now that are human arm/leg size so people can wear clothes over them. But no, he goes home every night as an armored up cyborg ready for battle.
They kept his human hand as an attempt at commentary on drones - it may be a machine, but it's a human hand on the trigger!
Robocop doesn't actually get to go home, he does have to recharge himself.
Maybe they kept the hand so that he could feel normally with one limb ?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH CUTER THAT LOOKS UNDER THE COVERS, WEARING SLIPPERS THOUGH?? xD
There was a cut scene where Sellars asked the doctor to save the right hand because he liked telling things about a man through a handshake. It's stupid. You can't just save a hand anyway: The muscles that make the hand work are in the forearm.
The Director: “RoboCop” was a “stressful experience.” “I didn’t have the creative freedom I needed,” says Padilha. “I spent 90% of the time fighting. It made me realize that making a studio movie is not the same as making a film.” Padilha also says that he would “think a million times before getting involved in another production of that size again,” and that he’d “rather face the reality than make movies about superheroes.”
"Different, scares people!" Quote of the decade.
You know, Doug is right. A Robocop video game where you make the choices would be awesome since there have been several other games that have done this other the past decade (Infamous, Detroit Become Human, Red Dead Redemption, Beyond 2 Souls, The Walking Dead) that it could work with RoboCop as well.
There WAS a RoboCop game on Xbox......
Walk the line between human and machine
So Detroit: become human with a writer who isn't deluded to the point of it being comical
@@dastvan8002 Uuuhhh...Yeah?
A cyberpunk, choice-driven game about a nearly dead guy having his body rebuilt with robotics, with action sequences, swearing, blood, and criticism of corporations having too much power? And set in Detroit? Dude, that's Deus Ex: Human Revolution! They even make Robocop jokes in the Detroit Police Station.
23:36 that Duel of the Fates parody was hilarious and the reoccurring jokes were surprisingly effective. Definitely one of the better reviews
I actually love the ideas in this remake although the execution isn’t always perfect. Maybe just a tad too harsh on the film. I’d go see the sequel if they ever make one
One of the things that made Ed209 scary is that it was big enough to seem like a threat but small enough to fit into a building, why did they scale him up so much
Love the Fallout 76 joke
Country Roads, take me home!
Fallout 76 is a joke
Can't believe I wanted to actually get that game. Good rendition of Country Roads, though.
@@b3rz3rk3r9 The only good thing from that game
The games better now then what it was
Damn nostalgia critic came after my life with that fall out 76 joke 😂
i dont know man somehow i get it and dont get it
He came after your life... WHAT???
Your life must suck
(7:01) Hey how come Christopher Walken wasn’t in that Instant Cool Kit?!
The kit required more cowbell.
5:11 Sounds like no criminals will ask me 'What's in your wallet' again!
8:01 Ugh, 2014 Murphy is more of a robot before he even BECAME ROBOCOP! What a Douche!
Shout out to those creepy Francis Bacon paintings. I like to think Michael Keaton actually owns them and just carries them around as his own personal backdrop.
Roboflop: This time it was forgotten
Coming from the tail end of 2023, they DID make a RoboCop video game called Rogue City and it was surprisingly awesome.
Fun fact: The original RoboCop, Peter Weller, voiced Batman in the animated adaptation of Batman The Dark Knight Returns.
Critic, not knowing Elite Squad? For shame, it's a great movie, a nice insight into the Brazilian slums, their equivalent of the SWAT forces, and the relationship between crime, the police, and even political leaders and organizations in the sequel
SakuNeku I’m not surprised, he doesn’t even know what steampunk is!
Who doesn’t know steampunk?!
@@nicktechnubyte1184 the game?
WHY do I always end up watching nostalgia critic at 2am I NEED SLEEP
Still better than creepypastas, conspiracies or things that make you nihilistic.
10:54 Actually, that commercial is from Kore........never mind.
Thanks bro (from korea)
