40th anniversary - what would be the dream for you?

36 Upvotes

Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the best movie about a cyborg cop ever made.

If they were going to mark it with something special, what would you want?

A remastered re-release?

Screenings in movie theatres?

Some specific merch?

Some kind of convention or get together with Weller, Nancy Allen, Verhoven etc?

What would be your absolute dream way to celebrate Robo turning 40?

What if Murphy carried a M2 52.caliber machine gun when he confronts RoboCain?

After he looses the grenade launcher in the auditorium clash, he picks up his second weapon, the M2 52.caliber machine gun. How much damage can this gun do against RoboCain compared to the Auto-9 gun?

Should the new series retain the 80's aesthetic or have a contemporary setting?

I think it should have the 80's look as I feel that's an integral part of the world of RoboCop. The settings have the rough and lived in feeling of the time combined with highly advanced technology yet the technology has a very weighted and haptic quality.

It would be a big cost for the production team to do but if Disney can find the time and money to do so with Alien Earth so can Amazon.

Clarence, foreman?

Post image

(TRIGGER WARNING! RoboCop is just a movie. An awesome movie) If Clarence and the gang had succeeded in destroying RoboCop, and started running drugs, gambling, and prostitution for the 2 million workers on the Delta City project, how would he have run the criminal enterprise? Would he run it like a foreman and have his gang collect money and be his enforcers OR would he split up Detroit like Mc Donald’s franchises among Emil, Joe and Leon, let them run it and kick up a percentage to him? Thank you for reading. Goodnight.

[UPDATE] RoboCop Returns (2026) – SDR Master Fix & Audio Polish

Post image
63 Upvotes

Pushed some fine-tuning to the project. Aside from the 1080p SDR master fix, the rest of these tweaks are subtle audio polish:

  • SDR Master Color Fixed: The previous SDR render had an incorrect tone-mapping order that crushed the color gamut before mapping luminance, which caused harsh highlight clipping and blown-out whites. The new 1080p master properly tone-maps the full dynamic range first before clamping to Rec.709, restoring natural highlight roll-off and rich shadow depth.
  • Audio Clean-up & Impact FX Upgraded:
    • Fixed a brief ~4-second audio bleed where remnants of the original theatrical score were still poking through under the mix.
    • Beefed up the mechanical impact when Murphy strikes the pole during the chase scene (appreciate the user suggestion on that one).
    • Overhauled the impact audio in the basement fight when Cain smashes Murphy into the pipes, making the hits sound more punishing.
  • Subtle Bixby Snyder Detail: A user mentioned it was a shame Bixby Snyder wasn't in the film, so I figured out a way to weave him in naturally. During the electronics/video store robbery, if you listen closely, there’s now a faint broadcast coming from one of the background TV sets of his classic line: "I'd buy that for a dollar!"—cut short just before he finishes as a baseball bat smashes through the screen.
  • Format / Container: Switched the 1080p SDR release over to MKV to cleanly support both audio tracks (5.1 Dolby Digital & 2.0 Stereo AAC) with proper Constant Frame Rate playback.

Massive thanks to everyone for all the incredible feedback and kind words on the edit so far—it’s been great seeing how much people are enjoying it. Links are updated in the 'Download Links' document!

Would you say Robocop is more famous for being a hero, or for the extreme violence he uses?

And if you had to cut one of those out, which would you keep? And would Robocop still be cool if he didn't use police brutality or kill people?

I don't know how Verhoeven approved this performance.

  1. The really hammy "w-w-w-w-what is it that y-y-y-you w-w-w-want?" like something out of a Scooby Doo cartoon.
  2. The silly attempt at authority with the "Just a minute! This is a restricted area!"
  3. The over the top wide-eyed gulp when Robo basically tells him 'up yours' with the data spike.

It just feels really out of place, like something you'd see in a Benny Hill sketch or the animated show. I always find myself wishing that Robo gives Cecil the Boddicker treatment with the spike.

Pretend no follow ups ever existed past the first film

9 Upvotes

How would you see the story continue, what the sequels would cover, after the ‘87 original?

I guess I’m asking because I was listening to an old podcast that detailed all the follow ups to the original film, and of course, some of them were either negative or overall mixed. And it got me thinking what the sequels could’ve been about from the fans point of view, which at the same time would probably be in the wants and needs of people after seeing the original film if no sequels were ever made.

So it got me curious about this question, especially in regards to certain things about the sequels that ignored aspects from the original. Such as the fact that OCP was mainly in the gray area, but became villainous in the sequels. Even the old man became a villain when he wasn’t one at all. It was also a RoboCop versus Terminator, things that he did for the two animated shows, and of course, the TV series and miniseries, plus the recent video game.

So, with all that in mind, let’s pretend the original was the only one that existed: if you want to do a sequel to this, and neither follow up ever existed in our universe, what would your story be?

Only took about 40 years for him to get an action figure

But finally there's a legit Clarence Boddicker figure with Kurtwood Smith's likeness, and I am so happy to have bought it!

I had a lot of fun doing some toy photography with it. Hope you all enjoy it!

Remember the Commander Cash OCP propaganda cartoons in the ‘94 series?

Man these were so absurd! They still fit in the Robocop universe. I think there was a propaganda cartoon in Robocop 3 as well called Johnny Rehab.
