Storyline
Detroit - in the future - is crime ridden, and run by a massive company. The company have developed a huge crime fighting robot, which unfortunately develops a rather dangerous glitch. The company sees a way to get back in favour with the public when a cop called Alex Murphy is killed by a street gang. Murphys body is reconstructed within a steel shell and named Robocop. The Robocop is very successful against criminals, and becomes a target of supervillian Boddicker. Written by Colin Tinto <cst@imdb.com>

Trivia
One unused idea for a scene was to have RoboCop going to his old house where his family would still live. He meets his son, but the boy does not recognize him; the only one who does is his old dog (similar to The Odyssey, where Odysseus returns home and isn't recognized by anyone except his dog). The producers liked the idea but Paul Verhoeven decided not to shoot the scene for being a bit too sentimental. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Murphy and Lewis are chasing the Boddicker gang in the van, Boddicker has Bobby thrown onto the police car, after which Lewis spins out, turns around and pursues again. Yet, when they catch up to Boddicker and his gang at the steel mill, they have already arrived, taken out the cash, and are dispersed only a few seconds later. See more »Quotes
