Robocop
the Man
Police officer Alex Murphy was always a good
cop.
In Murphy's precint in Detroit Omni Consumer
Products,
a multinational corporation runs the Police
Department for the city. Police officer
dissatisfaction grows in response to the new free
enterprise efficiency that OCP strives for. There
is even much talk of a Police officer strike. But
Alex Murphy continues to do his duty even if his
fellow cops are not as enthusiastic about their
duty to serve and to protect.
Murphy trys to live up to the image of the his
son's hero TJ Laser. He even masters the gun
twirl that this hero his son admires from the
television show is famous for. His sense of duty
allows him to never abandon his ideals of justice
even when faced when dying. When surrounded and
asked by master criminal mastermind Clarence
Bodicker what he thnks of him his response is
poetic as well as defiant. He says "budy I
think you're slime." Clarence Boddicker then
executes Murphy wth one shot to the head but this
only after his boys fire mercilessly at the
helpless police officer. Alex Murphy is rushed to
the hospital and is pronounced dead shortly
thereafter. From his death Robocop was to emerge.
