10 Genius Movie Moments That Came Out Of Nowhere
10. Murphy Gets Taken Apart - RoboCop (2014)
2014's RoboCop remake was largely dismissed by critics and fans of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original because it just felt like a toothless rehash that lacked the satirical bite of its predecessor while heavily toning down the violence - per its restrictive PG-13 rating.
But there is a single scene that actually builds on the existential terror of the original concept, when the newly "rebuilt" Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) wakes up in the lab of RoboCop creator Dr. Dennett Norton (Gary Oldman).
Murphy's robotic chassis is promptly disassembled in front of him, revealing that his only original body parts which survived the car bombing are his head, lungs, heart, and right hand.
Murphy is understandably incredibly disturbed by this revelation, and to make it even more unsettling for the audience to sit through, his organs are on full display throughout.
Between all this and Murphy's request for euthanasia being swiftly denied by Norton, the scene hammers home the viscerally horrifying nature of Murphy's resurrection, arguably even more effectively than Verhoeven's film did.
