Poor Alex Murphy: killed and left for dead by a street gang with political ties. Alex is brought back from the dead and retrofitted with armor and wires and converted into the high- tech badass, Robocop. With robo-powers come robo-skills, of course, such as being able to shoot a lad in the nads through the dress of the woman that he has taken hostage. Talk about taking the upper gland. They don't teach that at police academy.
