Favorite RoboCop villain and why??

-----------------------------------

i'm pretty new here, but have been watching the site for a couple of years, now im here i would like to know who your fav robocop villain is and why... anybody from clarence boddicker, ed 209 to robocable or from the cartoons or whoever.... i just wanna know who and why


-----------------------------------

Edd 209

Fri May 29, 2009 9:53 am

Ed209 of course!!
(But I don't count him as a villain...!)

Boddicker. He was just an evil bastard, plain and simple. He took pleasure in dealing out misery. Nearly killed Robo (twice)and Lewis.

Cain thought he was Jesus or something. All he made was a drug. And nearly killed Robo.

McDaggett, actually killed Lewis. But who shoots a woman before a robot? Relied too heavily on Japanese samurai robots. Which were easily hackable by a little girl and a computer. Plus stereotypical British accent. If I remember correctly.

So, yeah Boddicker was the only villain I liked.


-----------------------------------

Sean_001

Fri May 29, 2009 6:02 pm



-----------------------------------

I liked Leon Nash.

He had style and charisma. He was a villian you could party with. And then go mow down a busload of boyscouts, do a line of nose-candy, and party to the sounds of Touch your Spine.

Plus, he dumped a shitload of steel gurters on top of Robo, effectively pinning him down.

Definitely a villian that could've used more screen time.

Boddicker's whole gang. Emil, Leon, etc. I just love watching them do what they do. When Emil is mutated by the toxic waste and goes to Leon for help, "Don't touch me MAN!" Classic scum. Thats what I love about R1. It's got so many memorable characters. Most of which just happen to be scubags :) .

Every villain in R1 is awesome though. :wink:

-----------------------------------

I have to agree with both JBA and Deus Ex. Boddicker and his gang of fiends we're easily some of the best depraved, villainous scumbags in all of RoboCop, and even in a movie period.

Sean makes a nice point about Nash, he should have been around a bit more. Emil had potential, too.

Cain thought he was Jesus or something. All he made was a drug. And nearly killed Robo.

Well, with the Nuke, he was giving people the opportunity 'to control every aspect of their emotional lives', as he put it. He was essentially controlling all these people and their moods, giving people 'paradise', again, as he said. I could see how that kind of outlook can give you a sort-of god-like complex. 

Not that I think he's better than Boddicker, cause he sure ain't. But he's certainly a sick bastard of a bad-guy.

RoboCAIN certainly kicked ass, I know that much. :b

-----------------------------------

My two favorite villains are Clarence Boddicker and Dick Jones, on one end Clarence represents the modern druglords of today whereas Jones represents the corrupt politician or corrupt executive who will stop at nothing to maintain his grip in power.

If you look at it this way, both are powerful and both represent the theme of corruption which often plays back and forth in the movie.

Hmmm some interesting thoughts and views there... though i personally am gonna go with Clarence Boddicker & Dick Jones.... Bboddicker had this evil presence that you can't help but love and the whole "give the man a hand" just sold it for me.... Dick Jones ... again.. that evilness... yet could pass off a respectable ocp employee.... nobody knew what he was up to until the end, putting these two characters together was the best thing that could happen in my oppinion.. and hell nobody other than those two men could have played them.... yes ED-209 looked mean and devastating and robocain was this awesome death machine who literrally ripped apart everything in its path.... but both were mearley machines... Boddicker & Jones were humans... which makes them appear that bit mre evil and cold kinda like "oh my god how could a human being blow somebody's hand off" i mean that whole death scene was just inhuman... which made for great viewing and sold that character of Clarence Boddicker.... not sure if that makes sense when read but hope you guy's get it lol

Clarence Boddicker was the best villain in the RoboCop canon.  He felt and looked real, had his own charismatic personality and was extremely vicious with it, too.  He was very unique-looking with those glasses, scarf and black coat.  Not like your typical action movie villain at the time.


-----------------------------------

Stan The Man

Sun Jun 07, 2009 2:56 pm



-----------------------------------

I have to agree with R79, his wardrobe was a major element to his character. He just looked unusual, yet badass at the same time. 

Clarence Boddicker is just a villain's villain, the kind of bad-guy all the other chump change criminals dream to be. And Kurtwood Smith just seems to show a natural 'I'll kick your ass' demeanor with ease most of the time anyway.

As for a machine enemy, while ED-209 is more iconic, I have to give that vote to RoboCAIN.  Aside from a bit of agility, and not being controlled by the mind of super-sick, full-blown drug-addict, he was almost handing Robo's ass to him.

Yeah, no matter how much you pick apart Cain's character and how little he is realized in the the actual film, you just can't beat RoboCain.

One of the most fucked up bad ass killing machines ever.

Hell, Terminator was cool as balls, but RoboCain brought such a hollowed brutal destructive force of cinematic death. Do we care that he shot much more ammunition than he could actually hold in his arm? Shit no. He was just "hella awesome". (sorry about the hella :) ).

I don't know, maybe I'm crossing my  fan-wires but RoboCain is undeniable in "it's" awesomeness.

gotta go with Boddicker hands down.   hes the original G, he served murphy on a plate for OCP and set the stage for the best movie of the 80s.  He stood in a police station handcuffed surrounded by cops, 31 of them previously wasted by his efforts, that sly look on his face, spat blood on the desk and said *just gimme my fuckin phone call*  Awesome display of villainy!  

Boddicker ftw

When I watched Total Recall recently, I found Michael Ironside's Richter to be small fry, compared to Boddicker.  He was the sort who allowed people like Cohaagen to walk all over him and chew him out, whereas Clarence did not stand for that kind of shit.  He was also smarter and wasn't quite as bull-in-a-china shop as Richter.

Dick Jones was another great villain.  He represented the wicked side of corporate politics.

Hmmm after reading that i have to agree with you there.... Richter has nothing on Boddicker.... but what about Cohaagen & Jones?? i know they are both played by Ronny Cox... but is there much difference between them?? other than Cohaagen can walk over Richter as you said & Boddicker refuses to let Jones have that luxury.... but who's the baddest between those two Cox characters?

without any possible doubt, boddicker with its black humor (cops don't like me so i don't like cops. nananananananh bang!

Cain, a psychopath who believes in voodoo and is a heavy drug user who takes pleasure in torturing people (live operations...). He's an even more dangerous criminal than the ones from the first movie since he's completely insane and out of touch with reality. Not to mention his other side - one of the coolest machines in movie history, which is Robocop II. Tom Noonan always portrayed creepy and completely insane characters.

And we also have one of the most controversial movie villains ever - Hob, a small boy. The character created quite a storm. Here's the movie that kids may see, whether they're suppose to or not. And Hob's a kid who's in a gang, deals with drugs, have a personal prostitute Angie and kills people like he's playing a video game. Talking a about a hardcore movie that is still controversial after 20 years!

And those two are closely followed by the duo from the first movie - Kurtwood Smith does a phenomenal job in portraying Clarence Boddicker, a filthy and obnoxious thug. Verhoeven made a great casting choice. Boddicker was a guy that had absolutely no remorse and no regard for human life. Kill left and right and don't flinch kind of guy, with only money and personal pleasures being the only things that count for him.

And Dick Jones was truly a 'dick'. He symbolized corrupted and evil power in the suit. He is basically a white-collar version of Boddicker. Money, power and name is what counts. Ronny Cox is one of the best 80's bad guys possible. He was equally as good in Total Recall, just a great actor.

Kinda funny because, he played much straighter 'Nice Guy' type of roles prior to RoboCop. But you're right, he pulled off Dick Jones very well, as well as Cohaggen in Total Recall.

Though I don't agree much with your choosing Cain and Hob over Boddicker and Dick Jones, that's a pretty good, detailed post.

Im not sure if I place Cain and Hob above Boddicker and Jones, but I certainly think theyre much more dangerous and unpredictable. They had no morals, and they were delusional. They couldnt be reasoned with, they couldnt be bought by money, market territory or things like that

The slight advatage that Jones and Boddicker have tho, is that they were more 'real". Not to take anything away from the great characterization of the villains from the second movie, but the first movie's villains were really 3 dimensional and werent "colored" or embelished. You have plenty of people like that in everyday life (unfortunately).

The bad guys in Robo1 are based on real life, while in Robo2 they are much more comic book'y. They both work in separate ways.

Definatly Bodiker, he is the best vilian ever. I saw many movies and for some reason, he makes a strong stand on his "vilany points"  :b 

Maybe because he is very realistic, not the "super vilan" kind of crap we see in the movies nowadays  :) 

I also would give credit to McDaggett from robocop 3, to bad the movie was for kids, but we have to see that he killed a cop (Lewis) with no problem.

"I don´t have a huge problem with that!" bang bang bang  :? 
I think he is one of the few mature things around that movie. He also said "If we let him live, we would have to pay him!" and then the resistance mole dead  :lol:

I also gotta admit that Mcdagget is a good villain in a classic Robocop style. Cruel and cold with a real asshole ring to him. Thats the one and only thing they really got right. Oh, and I still think the actor John Castle looks so much like Steve Martin!

Very good analysis and very good arguments. Cain is indeed insane who lied to angie by saying that he would make only fear with duffy. He makes him massacre in a barbarian way. And hob and an example of a youth delivered to the law of the jungle, handled by cain and the ocp for political interests. Let us recall that the ocp encourages the delinquency to build delta city and to eject the mayor kuzak.

For me, it's definitely Clarence. If I remember correctly, on one of the DVD extras, Kurtwood Smith talks about how if a bad guy is physically big and bad, the audience will feel somewhat secure in the knowledge that they could potentially outsmart or outrun him.

But when you have someone like Boddicker - intelligent, clinical, deliberate, methodical, cerebral - he is truly the scariest type of villain of them all.

I love Clarence just as much as the next bad guy, but there was always something amazingly evil and sinister about Dick Jones. Plus Ronny Cox just did such a damn good job. Hob comes in third, cause not only was he a total B-A, but he was also smart and ruthless for his age. I couldn't leave out Bob Morton, just because he tried so damn hard, and without him there wouldn't be a Robocop.

When you watch Clarence, you hate him, but in the same time you love him. That's the point. I think that R1 has big advantage in the fact, that it has charismatic villains. It's not only Clarence, but Emil, Leon is very good character too, Joe.. I like Joe too, because, when he is laughing it makes me laughing too, He has unrivaled laugh. Also Dick Jones is a clever bastard too. :)

I agree. Clarence is a guy you´d like to kill if you´re the "good boy" and he´d be a drinking pal or something like that if you´re a "friendly baddie". He´s a cold-blooded killer, but he´s charismatic. He´s my favourite too.

Yeah! And it's fascinating how is he enjoing killing :-D And another thing, which made his character is how he cashed out Bobby in the Van. That's the mark of Boss Villiain. Also, Kurtwood Smith did amazing job in acting this bastard. :) I think that most of the RoboCop fans love Clarence character. :)

For me is definitely Clarence. He is smart and repulsive bastard, But that's why I love him. I think that Michael Miner and Ed Neumeier wrote fantastic character. 

Well, partial credit goes to them for creating the character, but I think the guiding force behind Clarence is Verhoeven. He already had in mind how he should look like, he casted Smith and gave him glasses and guided him on the character. I think its one of those instances where the actor and director really made the character

RoboCable from Prime Directives because they fought a few times; made up as friends and then fought again and finally Cable sacrificed himself for the ACity and World and Robocop was left to tend the city    :D

Boddicker without a doubt! He's so ruthless and violent! Plus he has access to any of ocp's weaponry from the help of ole Dick Jones. I mean boddicker killed murphy and then murphy becomes robo! He's part of the reason why Robocop exists!

One thing I really loved about Clarence Boddicker was that Kurtwood Smith doesn't exactly look like your typical hard-ass movie villain (compared to actors like, say, Chazz Palminteri, Robert Davi, Jeroen Krabbé, Brion James etc) When I first saw the movie as a kid, I thought that he looked more like a school teacher than a criminal. Then came Murphy's torture scene... It was this contradiction, his "friendly" and "sophisticated" (glasses et al) look, with his totally brutal actions that made him even more terrifying compared to, say, an actor like Clancy Brown playing the role.

Boddicker is a bastard, but he's an awesome bastard. He mad and insane and is nicely smug. Like that one scene when he's torturing Bob, he doesn't give a shit throughout and plays it like a badass. He did kind of deserve what's coming to him, but he was so good.

My second choice would have to be RoboCain, he was twice as strong as Murphy and he had some pretty kickass guns. Sure the movie wasn't all that great, but I thought he was worth checking out.

Third choice has to be ED-209, I mean that thing has no remorse, it can blast the shoot out of anyone who looks like Mr. Kinney with giant machine guns and rocket launchers...although I wouldn't own one myself, I'd be worried if it malfunctioned (it usually does :b), but it still looks pretty kick-ass.

I didn't pick Otomo because 1. RoboCop 3 was a piece of shit; and 2. I don't care if he's a RoboNinja, he's not cool, he's just dumb.

That's right, and that's one of many elements that make the movie so real, so real-everyday-life, so visceral. Villains don't look like villains, theyre everyday people (from outside)

I like them all but Hob is my fave.

More than him , it's what he represents,  he is the product of a society wich had lost most of its values (like right now).

I loved how Ebert got pissed off because Hob was evil and mouthful.
Like a kid couldn't end up being  like Hob.

And he dies, it takes some balls in Hollyweird to involve this sort of character.

Pudface rocks!

I have to agree, Pudface was actually pretty good, even great for what he was (that said, he's not my absolute favorite of course, but to each their own). If nothing else he's certainly as much of a post-toxified Emil as we'll ever get.
