Forgive me if this has been brought up and/or answered before. In my most recent re-watching of Robocop 2, early on there are a lot of scenes with Murphy without his helmet on. Does Peter Weller ever blink?! I don't know how I just noticed this, and I could be wrong. If not, I'm amazed.

Really interesting observation. I wasn't sure so I did a re-watch of the ending of Robo1.

He does blink. But not very often. The big helmet-less reveal scene is very impressive as Weller doesn't blink once. Really adds to the robotic feeling.

With the babyfood target practice he blinks once by himself and a bunch of times involuntary when he fires the Auto-9. (I don't hold it against him. Even the Terminator blinks when firing guns.)

Same goes further towards the end. Weller blinks a few times but most are involuntary such as when the blood hits after stabbing Clarence.

Nice of you to look into Robo1 Archive. I would assume he would blink in the scenes you mentioned. Regardless I'm way overdue for another viewing.

I was just specifically referring to the "interrogation" scene in Robo2. As I was watching, I just noticed there were a lot of close ups, especially when his wife talks to him from behind the fence and he tells her to touch him. I'm going to go back and re-watch it in a bit to check. Stan got the point I was going for. Now I just need to verify...

But wow. Even the if he did or didn't blink. Weller has such an overwhelming/haunting performance in that scene. It's easily up there among my favorite emotional scenes and moments. Even more specifically, it's the way he speaks and delivers the words. He does it in several scenes in Robo2. He also does it in the reprogramming scene with Dr.Fax as well as Hob's death.

EDIT: He definitley blinks in the interrogation scene, quite a bit actually. But only in the shots slightly far away. In all the super close ups of his face, he doesn't ever blink or even move his head. He only moves his eyes, in what you could consider a robotic fashion. Still, what an amazing performance. You can just see how seriously Peter took the role and performance. It transcends the screen!

"They made this...to honor him.
YOUR HUSBAND IS DEAD.
I DON'T KNOW YOU"

Gives me the chills

That's good acting, Weller. You nailed this character from the beginning. And as they say, "Good business is where you find it."

Yes, I've noticed the blinking especially during the scene where the doctors and nurses are working to save him: Weller blinks a few times when the camera isn't on his face. Things I've wondered over the years have been who was Lewis' partner before Reed assigned her to work with Murphy? And what happened to her new partner Jerry once she goes back with Murphy? Dick Jones gets mad at Clarence for spilling his guts to Robocop because he got recorded, yet he looks shocked when Robo replays what he said about killing Bob. Did he forget he got recorded too? In R2, I notice when Murphy and Lewis get back from patrol and enter the squad room, you briefly see Murph tap someone on the back like he's another officer he's friends with. I think someone else taps him on the back after he talks to his wife and walks down the hall to look at her from the window.

After Clarence's car flips over and Lewis stops and looks for him, it appears she's looking in the opposite direction from where his car landed. Then when Clarence takes the metal pole and strikes at Murphy, the second time he hits his arm it sounds like someone calling Murphy--I thought Lewis passed out after she blew up Leon. And after Murphy kills Clarence, he's covered in his blood; we see it later on his data spike when he replays what Jones said. But how did he clean the rest of the blood off of his armor? Did someone wipe him off after he dropped Lewis at the hospital?

Lastly, how accurate is the info on Robocop Wiki? They mention things that I've never heard before unless it was in the book, a deleted scene or in the script since it never plays out on screen. 1. Lewis killing Hedgecock for what he did to Murphy. The swat team shot at the car not only because she was getting away with Robocop, but she disobeyed orders and refused to shoot her partner. 2. Sgt. Reed was suppose to die in Robocop 3, but they it was decided to kill off Lewis instead. 3. Sgt. Reed, Murphy and Lewis were transferred to Metro North in Robocop 2 and later returned to Metro West in Robocop 3. I figured the filming locations was the reason why the precinct in R2 looked very different.

Who arrested Joe in the cocaine factory? I always thought he escaped while Murphy was throwing Clarence around; But he stole the new 6000 SUX from the prison parking lot after he was released. So, it couldn't have been Murphy or he would've brought him in along with Clarence? How did Murphy find out where his wife and son lived? I figured they moved away like Lewis had told him.
