ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Theme add_black theme
RoboCop: Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your back.
Tom Pope: I'm just from marketing.
RoboCop: NOW!
Tom Pope: Okay, yep, yep, yep. Yep.
  • Tom Pope (the PR-guy played by Jay Baruchel) tells Raymond Sellars about a focus group done at Ryan Correctional Facility, where the Combat Mode design "really put the fear of God into the prisoners". The design seen on the screen, is the design of the original RoboCop from RoboCop (1987).
  • The logo of the corporation that builds Robocop, Omnicorp, is nearly identical to the logo of Carolco, a major film production company in the 80's and early 90's that original "Robocop" director Paul Verhoeven was known to work with, although not on "Robocop" itself.
  • Chris Pine was considered for the role of Alex Murphy/RoboCop.
  • At least two characters in the film are named after important philosophers with strong views on artificial intelligence (AI). Senator Dreyfus may be named after the American philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, who has extensively criticised the limits of AI research and denies that AI can ever truly attain human-level cognition, i.e. thought. Dr Dennett Norton may be named after Daniel Dennett, a contemporary and correspondent of Dreyfus' who believes that AI may be feasible, but that it is probably neither necessary nor worthwhile to try to perfectly replicate human thought in software. Both references are obscure outside of the AI or philosophy communities but highly relevant to the film's themes of existentialism and self. Raymond Sellars may also be named after Pittsburgh philosopher Wilfrid Sellars, whose views have less direct relevance to AI.
  • When going for Karen Dean, Robocop checks her outgoing calls. First name is José Padilha.
