As I have said, and still say and maintain, RoboCop is perfect. What is perfection? Not that there's nothing that can't still be added but there is absolutely nothing that can be taken away - I think that fits the bill completely.

One of my favorite moments in the movie is when they are calibrating Robocop (one of the first scenes with him, through his point of view).
While he is targeting the pen and doing voice analysis, there is a man's voice in the background who yells, "check!" every time Robo completes their request. Don't ask me why this sticks out in my mind, but it is just so fitting with the heavy emphasis the movie plays on Industrialism.
Listen for it!

I like the way his mouth looks in the house scene before he punches the monitor. I always make my face look like that and walk just like that. As much as possible. We're only human. Also the ratchet at the end of R2. makes me want to go back to that sig. Think I will.

I have also noticed that enraged look as he starts to quicken his pace before punching the monitor. That may be one of the first moments that "Murphy" reveals himself from within the machine. As a member of the audience, I wonder how many people looked at that and said, "was he supposed to show emotion? Was that intended?" If you care about the character and the actor really puts himself into the role, its very clear how that would naturally come out. My whole life is gone! DAMNIT! You always hear about method actors going to great lengths to get into characters and sometimes they make light of it (like in Tropic Thunder). But in this case, I think that they did great justice to the character and presented the story as if it were true. BRAVO!!

I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again to remember all of my favorite ones, but one small part at the beginning of the film always stood out to me. It's the part where Murphy has arrived at his new precinct, and he's putting his personal effects into his locker. He slams the locker door shut, and there are the stoic letters of his name on the nameplate in a close-up. It was such a subtle yet fitting way to underscore the man that is at the heart of the entire film.

I'll have to get back with you all on the assuredly dozens of other little touches I've always loved but don't remember just now...

Good eye, Todd, they played around with the nameplate symbol a couple of times in the movie. Removing Frederickson's name without a word when he died, Murphy's name as the locker slams, Clarence putting the gum on Dick Jones' secretary, Wendy's name plate, the executive bathroom card access. Not to mention all the references to status and titles To me it is a combination of the themes of corporate America and personal identity that reverberate through the film. Its a sign of creativity in creating points of reference in the film environment, a strong message or commentary on life and great storytelling.
We've discussed this before when commenting on the many difference between the films in the series. The first film just had a lot more to say than some of the sequels (not that they couldn't have said more, but that they didn't put the same effort into portraying these little things as coherently).

(lol) I just thought of another part that's always stood out to me, and I'm just now realizing some twenty-eight years later how subtle yet brilliant it is from a screen-writing or storytelling point-of-view: remember the part where Murphy has regained some of his memories, and he sets-out on his search for Clarence Boddicker...well, when he finally tracks him down in th drug warehouse, he never goes on a rant, saying stuff like, "Remember me?! You killed me!! And now it's your turn!! Now you DIE!!" (lol) Not even at the end does he ever imply who he is to Clarence, nor does Boddicker ever let-on like he remembers his face, which suits his character perfectly, as if he'd murdered so many police officers in cold blood that he wouldn't recall any specific one. Another brilliant touch within this dynamic is the line where Boddicker says at the end, "You're taking this kinda personal, aren't you?" That's when you think to yourself for the first time that he really doesn't know...he's back from the dead to kill you, Clarence!

But the part that really drives my point home is when RoboCop brings Boddicker down to the station, and Reed asks, "What's the charge?", to which Murphy simply replies flatly, "He's a cop-killer." I always did think that was one of the most bad-ass lines from the entire film, but it has never occurred to me fully until now the implications of that line, how Murphy was acknowledging that Boddicker was his killer without actually saying it outright. There's just a lot of brilliant writing in the script like that that makes this film so special.
