Best Youth Actress Leading Role in a Motion Picture Drama | 1994 | Remy
Budget 22,000,000 USD
Box Office Collection 10,696,210 USD
Was filmed in 1991, but was not released until end of 1993 due to production company Orion going bankrupt.
Michael Dudikoff passed on the role for Murphy/RoboCop in favor of respecting his mentor at the time, Peter Weller.
Contrary to popular belief, Peter Weller was actually interested in reprising his role as Murphy for this film, and actually came to visit director Fred Dekker personally. They spent a good half an hour talking together, in which he told him that he wanted to do it, but had a conflict with filming director David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch (1991) in which he had been recently cast after actively campaigning for the lead role. Dekker was very impressed and honored to this day by the fact that Weller actually came over to talk to him about his intentions.
According to Fred Dekker, what haunts him to this day about making the film is the screenplay itself. He felt that if had had another writer who had written the script like Frank Miller or his best friend, Shane Black, he would've had a different perspective and strengthened the roles of the actors in the film.
Peter Weller was unable to reprise his Robocop role due to scheduling conflicts with Naked Lunch (1991).
"Donut Jerk: What can I do for you, pal? Hold-Up Man: [pulls out gun] Um... Nobody move! Everything in the register - now! Do it! [a dozen or more cops, seated around the shop, aim their guns at the hold up man, who straightaway surrenders] Donut Jerk: What's it like being a rocket scientist?"
"[last lines] The CEO: Well, I gotta hand it to ya. What do they call ya? Murphy, is it? Robocop: My friends call me Murphy. You call me... Robocop."
