3. Shooting Robocop
As part of Dick Jones plan to kill Robocop, hes lured into a firing squad made up of swat teams and Detroit police. Its a particularly violent and uncomfortable scene which lasts much longer than you want it to. Robocop is shot in an ultra-violent fashion, and as he tries to protect himself hes constantly assaulted with more violence. Its a scene which really makes you care for a robot that has shown next to no emotion so far. As he flinches in pain and helplessly crawls away from pursuing gunman, Verhoeven really makes you pity the robot. He ultimately makes you care about Robocop by putting through excruciating pain and exposing his will to live.
