10 Deleted Scenes That Explain Confusing Sci-Fi Movie Moments

10. Why Does Robocop Have A Human Hand? (Robocop)

A reboot of the classic sci-fi adventure of the same name, 2014's Robocop stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson. Did this stellar cast save it from getting bad reviews? Well, let's not go there now, shall we?

It tells the story of Alex Murphy, a police officer who becomes the titular character when he is severely injured in an explosion. However, Alex's transformation into Robocop comes with one notable difference from the original.

Whilst most of his body is replaced with cybernetics, Alex retains his right hand in its full human form. But why? And before you say anything, no, the answer is not that.

Disgusting.

The reason for this odd decision is revealed a scene cut from the movie's final edit. The CEO of OmniCorp, the organisation who designed RoboCop's exoskeleton, says that his father taught him that a lot can be learned about a person through their handshake. As a result, Alex's hand is kept intact.

Not only does this explain the bizarre decision, but it also exposes OmniCorp's disregard for human life by playing around with a human body in this way.
