It's classic Verhoeven stuff that we would later see him expand on in "Starship Troopers". There are four scenes, including a naked girly pizza infomercial. Both are short and the second is easily the cheesier of the two, but there is plenty of behind-the-scenes footage here that you won't find elsewhere on the disc. Two original release featurettes are on offer here under the titles of "Shooting RoboCop", and "Making RoboCop". The technical issues thrown up by the making of this movie, including the stop motion technology used are, all well covered. It wasn't until his wife pointed out that lots of limbs and body parts were exploding that Verhoeven took another look and decided to go with the project.
"I thought that the script was extremely silly and stupid", explains Verhoeven. Well no surprise there, but you may well be amazed to hear that he turned down the project along with every other half-decent director in Hollywood. I like violence in movies", explains Verhoeven. Running at nearly 40 minutes, this is a fine new documentary that gets right into all the issues that making "RoboCop" presented. Or presumably something close to his stupidly bulky Mr Freeze character in the execrable "Batman & Robin". As Davison points out, he'd have ended up looking like the Pillsbury Doughboy with all the suit armour on. Rather disturbingly they take on "RoboCop"-styled voices as they discuss alternative casting choices like Arnie for lead role. When you see just how violent this version is, even those of you who don't pepper your vernacular with filthy profanities may suddenly find four letter expletives pouring from your gob.ĭirector Paul Verhoeven sits in with producer Jon Davison and writer Ed Neumeier for an often entertaining and frank dissection of the movie.

You can choose to watch the original version of the movie or the 'director's cut' which has every last gore-splattered moment seamlessly branched in. The music score makes good use of the available speakers, and the rears bristle with effects every time we're inside Murphy's head. Sound A bass hungry 5.1 mix adds welcome oomph to the dynamic action scenes in the movie. Picture The image clarity on this highly impressive transfer is so good that the film often looks like it was made recently, but with careful 80s stylisation. Paul Verhoeven's ultra-violent vision of future police enforcement gains added gore on the definitive DVD release of "RoboCop", part of a box-set trilogy release.
