I liked the over the top killing of murphy, makes you really feel for him when he returns, yeah its not realistic, but neither is a cyborg cop.

Im curious to see how he gets injured now
Me too, realism goes out the window with a film like this.I liked the over the top killing of murphy, makes you really feel for him when he returns, yeah its not realistic, but neither is a cyborg cop.

I think a lot of you are getting ahead of yourselves. Padilha is no stranger to brutal death scenes. Anyone who's actually taken the time to watch the Tropa De Elite movies would know that.
But in 2029, a cyborg cop could be realistic. Being shot to hell and living through it can never be realistic![]()
I don't think we'll have cyborg cops in 2029. But like..it's a movie. You shouldn't have to live by 2029 "realism" rules when we aren't in 2029.
Yeah, but whats more plausible? Robocops in 2029? or living a full and happy life with bullet holes in your body and head?
Came in to ask thiswhen is the panel for this?
I don't care what's more plausible. It's not real and it's not supposed to be.
But Robocop was never treat as a pure fantasy movie. It relied on real world rules and the possibilities that everything in it might one day happen. They made it appear plausible and realistic. But being being blown to bits and surviving isn't plausibe or realistic...neither is what happened to Emil with the tank of chemical waste...
Like every movie, exaggerations have to be made. But Robocop was meant to run of realistic fumes, judging by the tone, and not on fantasy fumes.
But it has fantasy elements, as you've already mentioned. It's not going to be seen as realistic anyway, it's about a robot-cop.

Robocop has always been in a fantasy sci-fi category. It's not heavy in fantasy themes, but they're there.
