The Movie: A classic action movie from the 1980s, Robocop is perhaps one of the most violent and excessive movies of the decade, with a body count that few films rarely surpass. Director Paul Verhoeven revels in the carnage as Officer Murphy transforms into Robocop after being shot up by a criminal gang and takes to the streets to mete out justice, but beyond the action and gore the film delivers plenty of gallows humour and a satirical swipe at authoritarian government. The Gory Death: After accidentally driving his van into a huge vat of acid, the unfortunate thug falls out of the driver's seat and stumbles down the alleyway with his skin literally falling off his bones. If that wasn't bad enough, he stumbles out straight into the path of his boss Clarence Boddicker's car and gets smashed into smithereens. Fortunately for Boddicker his windscreen wipers work just fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC1Gfyp8C6I
