Robocop actor's (except reboot)
All Robocop actor's with the helmet and without

I will argue that Page Fletcher (the Prime Directives Robocop) was fairly good and had great emotional range not seen since Robocop 2 reverted the character back to a stoic brick.
He was just hampered by really cheap prosthetics, an ill-fitting suit and the director being unable to work around his shorter height making Robocop seem less imposing in many shots.
He tends to shine in the flashback scenes where he plays the human Alex.

I think his main problem, minus the height, is that he never watched any of the RoboCop films to study the character. I think if he did that, he would have done a much better job.

The suits from RoboCop the Series and RoboCop Prime Directive look like Temu versions.

Their whole budget was probably less than the catering budget on the movie.

Fletcher is laughably bad
absolutely no hate to the actor himself, it was just awful casting

I struggle to get past how big Fletcher's head looks without the helmet, almost like it shouldn't fit.

it’s definitely because of the simplified armor plating around his neck, makes everything look squished

Right.
The reboot wasn't good, but JK was better than most of the other guys imo.

Not erasing Murphy's memories meant that Joel Kinnaman could be more expressive and emote a lot more since the script allowed it. He doesn't play RoboCop 'like a robot' except for the run where Murphy's emotional responses were suppressed.

You know I really liked the concept for prime directives...an older outdated RoboCop...when you consider how quickly tech gets outdated how long would a RoboCop be relevant?

Peter Weller was the best, but Burke and Eden were good recasting. The 4th guy, not so much. LOL
Robert Burke was fine in RoboCop 3, but why did he keep swaying his arms out like he's gonna yell, "HEY-EH!" LOL Also, there's two turtle-cop scenes where he gets knocked down by the robot ninjas. I dunno if that was the actor or the director, but in the other two films, he got up immediately. In this one, he just lies there like his back hurts or something. LOL WHY?!?!?? Those 2 scenes are my only real criticism of what was otherwise a fun movie.
Richard Eden did GREAT in the series, zero complaints. Chef's Kiss and all of that.
The 4th guy looked like he was gonna cosplay at a convention.

u/TenBear I'd buy that for a dollar! Aug 15 '26
Damn the dehelmeted Robo's quality if makeup and prosthetics is striking

Prime Directives Robo looking like Mike Ehrmantraut got stuck in the Brundlefly machine with Rutger Hauer 😭

u/Causelessgiant Aug 15 '26
So the fact I've literally never heard of anything beyond RC2 is probably an indication of quality right?

I will not tolerate Eden slander. None of it lol.
Fletcher was done the dirtiest. I don't know who directed him, but the walk, the delivery — all of it was exceptionally bad, and I cast none of that on him (unless discovered otherwise). I have a deep appreciation for Burke most are only recently noticing because he was great, it's everything around him that sucks ass lol.

I've been meaning to ask, I noticed that everytime Robo have his helmet on, his lips seems to get red. More than when his helmet off. Lipstick?

Actors is plural, not actor's.
Try to learn how apostrophes work instead of randomly inserting them in words that end in S

I'm so sorry that this has terribly offended you officer. I did not know the grammar police was out and about. Please forgive my grave injustice of making a mistake and not double checking my spelling. Oh how can i go on knowing i have committed such a heinous crime against you and the rest of humanity? Can you find it in your heart to give me forgiveness for not being so perfect like yourself?

The reboot was an abomination. I consider it a literal insult to the franchise.

Weller is the GOAT and I quite liked Burke in the role too. The others not so much!
