I’ve been a fan since I was 10 in 1987 and the film became my obsession and I watched everything Robocop related. I realize a lot of my questions seem dumb and I am now considered a bot, but I’ve been here for many years and miss people like Nika and her beautiful artwork. And I still read the fanfiction of Eva Rojano. When you have deep depression like I suffer from, you hope to be accepted somewhere but I guess I’m not wanted here either because no one ever answers me. I was told Im a bot; It hurts! However, here are some things I questioned after rewatching the original film.

For example, the script said Murphy kills Clarence when he punched him at the end. Shouldn’t a punch from Robocop have killed Miller instantly? Why did Morton have such animosity towards Kinney? After Clarence runs into Emil and the car flips over, Lewis gets out and looks over to her left like she spots something, but he landed to her right where the shots came from? And last but not least, I remember Nancy Allen saying her father was a cop and I’m sure cops have to follow the orders of their commanding officer. By the end, Lewis says she’s Murphy’s partner but didn’t Reed assign her to “Officer Jerry?”

My interpretation is the smile at the end of the first film shows Robo has accepted what he is, and is somewhat content with how things are. I think that in itself shows he appreciates discovering his identity. That, or he enjoyed blasting Jones out of a window.

The problem is with the sequels. RoboCop feels like a very "one and done" movie, wherein it stands on its own with no real need for any expansion. With RoboCop 2, you get the whole thing with Ellen, with that the idea that RoboCop is even more so of a tragic character. This alone slaps my personal interpretation at least half way, because while he may have accepted, there's no way he can be content.

Or maybe, after all the shit he's been through, he smiles at the fact someone complimented him and treated him with a bit of respect, and a person.

I’m not a new member; I’ve been here for a long time but no one ever replies to my posts. Very frustrating for a RoboFan!

I think that Message Boards have had their day now, as there are so many ways to get 'live' discussion and sharing, though I personally think they have a charm that is lost with instant gratification.
