RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop

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!

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.

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.

Just finished watching the fourth instalment and I have to say it was a blast. This is a deep delve into the classic 80's movie giving untold insight and reverence to it. All docu makers should watch this and learn. Always knew it was in my top ten movies but now I understand more why it means so much to me. Peter Weller in particular showed us why he is defined by this movie as is Paul Verhoeven for this and Starship Troopers. Getting all available cast and crew to share interesting titbits about making the movie was fascinating. A lot of what took place wouldn't be allowed today ie stunt work but everyone seemed to go along for the ride and enjoyed it as much as the rest of us would go on to do. Bravo !!!

Wow. #RoboDocTheCreationOfRoboCop is hands down THE BEST documentary on a film I've ever seen.

The love, care & attention to detail is phenomenal. It spends OVER 4hrs examining every detail of the classic '87 #RoboCop.

What sets this aside from most others is it included absolutely everyone it could. Even bit part actors were invited in & shared great memories.

Same for crew members. It's great hearing them recount how incredible the making of this film was. And how stressful it was at times too!

It's essential viewing for fans. It covers most parts of the movie - certainly all memorable scenes, of which most are!

It's fun, engaging & has a terrific soundtrack. I had a blast watching it.
