[edit] Note

The scene where RoboCop consoles the Hob is very important in that it shows increased humanity compared to the attempt to program it into him. Compare this to the way he treated the frightened woman in RoboCop

[edit] Requested move

Roboop 2 → RoboCop 2 – proper name. I fat fingered it when trying to move it from Robocop 2 to RoboCop 2, but it doesn't mater since RoboCop 2 already existed. — Pmsyyz 20:21, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose. Someone already moved it back to Robocop 2, and since IMDb seems to think it was originally released with a lowercase 'c', I'm inclined to leave well enough alone. Niteowlneils 21:41, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support. Would match RoboCop. Philip Baird Shearer 10:40, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

But the first one is at RoboCop and the image of the DVD (?) cover at IMDB clearly shows a capital C. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:33, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

IMDB has let editors checking up on the fact then Wikipedia, so I wouldn't take their word on it. --LeoTheLion 1 July 2005 17:32 (UTC)

"but without the razor sharp wit and style that Paul Verhoeven brought to the first film" -- ha! that's like calling bush witty! haha! did verhoeven write this himself? he did, didn't he? poor bugger.

[edit] Decision

Did not need an administrator so I have moved it Philip Baird Shearer 10:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cain

I came here looking for a forward link to the character Cain, to draw comparisons with Doom_wiki:Bruiser. I was suprised to not find one: not even a picture! -- Jon Dowland 20:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Little Drug Dealer.

Well, anyone think that it's strange that a little boy acts like that? I mean, he's a rotten, horrible, little...ugh. Just watch the movie, he pulls out a cord and strangles Ann Lewis, jumping on her back and having his full weight pull the cord down on her neck. He might have almost killed her! If that's not a bit strange, I don't know what is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.252.158.233 (talk) 00:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

Well, strange it really isn't. It's in the RoboCop universe, and there even little children can be criminals and killers. 193.69.146.66 14:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, well what was the brand of machine gun he assembled to fight off the cops with? It looked like a little a toy with a power cord. [Marball] 24 january 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.214.14.129 (talk) 01:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

The submachine gun he used was the ARES FMG (folding machine gun), an ingenious Stoner creation. It was designed to look like an old-fashioned portable radio, and there was an antenna attachment to keep up this charade. Chaparral2J (talk) 00:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of 300 Directives and RoboCop 2 Cyborg Seperate Article

Several of the 300 Directives are shown on screen in one scene. Could this article have a listing of the ones that are readable and is there a source for any of the ones that don't appear? It's kind of like the list from My Name is Earl in that you'd list what you can, even if it's never going to be complete. I may start the list on my own in time, but I'd love it if someone beat me to the punch.

I was also wondering if RoboCop 2 the Cyborg (and not the film) could have it's own article. While I can't say the film was all that good, RoboCop 2 the Cyborg was awesome. It has four upper-body limbs - a battering ram with Gatling gun, a welder, a pincher claw, and an arm with a three fingered hand - a shoulder mounted cannon, an LCD panel "face", a waist that can pivot 360 degrees, appears to stand about 10 ft. tall, contains what has to be an enormous internal cavity for ammunition, and it has a nuclear reactor in its chest. RoboCop 2 the cyborg was the best thing in RoboCop 2 the movie and if ED-209 can have its own article, then surely RoboCop 2 can as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.112.176 (talk) 01:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, silly me! The directives are listed on the IMDB article under trivia. Still, they really should appear in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.112.176 (talk) 02:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
