Alternate Versions
The American network TV version made extensive cuts to violence, language, and nudity, often using alternate takes. Profanity is dubbed over, sometimes in unintentionally funny ways ('asshole' becomes 'airhead', 'scumbag' becomes 'crumbag', etc.), the sole instance of nudity is absent due to an alternate take being used. In terms of violence, many of the shootouts cut around the squibs. The ED-209 scene does not show any of the bloody bullet hits, and instead features a single front-facing shot of Kinney staggering backwards with no squibs or blood. Murphy's death is heavily cut, nearly all bullet impacts are missing - and music has been added to the scene to soften the screaming and gunshot sounds. Emil's death doesn't cut any of the scenes of him melting, but does remove the scene where Clarence disintegrates him with his car, instead using an alternate take where Clarence swerves around him.

This is one of the best science fiction films ever made. Unfortunately, neither the sequels nor a T.V series could top this entertaining mix of action,humor and emotion. Robocop 2 relied a little too much on action and not enough emotion. Robocop 3 could have been good if they had written a better storyline and script. The story in 3 just did not work out with audiences, and that's why it got such negative reviews. If there ever is a Robocop 4 i hope that they bring back Paul Verhoven, The director of the first. Maybe he can help bring Robocop back to life. The producers could not wait to make sequels and that is why they weren't like the original
