RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop

This is one of the best documentaries I've watched in a long time. I've just finished episode 3 and have enjoyed soooo much of the detail, the backstories, and insights offered by cast, film crew, conceptual artists, stuntpeople, and lots more. "RoboCop" has always been a huge favorite, beloved by fans for its characters and action scenes as well as its savage criticism of modern times through some really witty "ads" sprinkled throughout the movie. There's a fourth installment listed but it hasn't aired yet, I don't think. Can't wait! If you're a longtime fan, as I am, you will be fascinated to learn about the labor that went into creating this. R. I. P. Miguel Ferrer and Dan O'Herlihy who were not here to reminisce - but pretty much everyone else is interviewed.

I waited for about five years for this documentary to come out. After COVID hit it was delayed further and I was beginning to lose hope that it would ever make it out to print. But here it is in it's final form and it does not disappoint. From the music and the intro to the detail of every interview from the original film crew. The actors, director, producers, writers, creators all lend commentary to this and it's such a polished piece well worth the wait. Peter Weller was originally not interested in doing the project for some reason. I can't think of how disappointing this would have been without the titular character but it proved to be an excellent addition. Very nostalgic and entertaining for everyone who grew up watching this classic.

This stupendously extensive 4 part doc tells you everything you will ever want to know about the making and release of this now cult classic.

After watching much props to everyone department involved to have given us this gem of a movie and character. Paul at the helm but without the collective vision it could have been a totally different movie and came of cheesy as opposed to the dark gritty film we got.

The concept alone screams fluff and cheese but this documentary really shows how a vision can be achieved with collaboration and understanding.

Please make docs in a similar vein with others namely; Total Recall; Running Man; Aliens; T2; Gremlins; Ghostbusters. Thanks in advance!

I loved every second of this. I always appreciate a good 'behind the scenes' doc, yet for the most part they usually seem too short. The fact that this is as long and comprehensive as it is, is nothing short of feeling like I've received 44 Christmases all at once.

The love and appreciation the makers of this have for the source material shines through in every single moment. The actors and production guys all seem to be loving every moment they get to reminisce.

Honestly if I could get a doc series of this depth and quality for every one of my favourite 80's flicks I'd literally be living heaven on earth.

It really was an iconic sci-fi movie, and they truly just don't make them like that anymore. It rivals and surpassed the Terminator in a number of areas. Documentary is very interesting as so many of the cast and crew take part, and it virtually breaks down the movie scene by scene, giving you massive insight in to the production. The effects side of things I found really interesting, and just the thought and creative processes.

Like other franchises Robocop became diluted and virtually destroyed. Robocop was a raw sci-fi movie which did not hold back. It is sad but making a movie like that in this day and age is virtually unthinkable. You get adult movies, but they are small productions or art house-not on the scale of this block buster dark dystopian commentary on the future. Studios seem to scared to take risks, which is a draining the life out of cinema at the moment.

Very thankful that they took the time to make this in depth documentary on one of the Sci-fi greats.
