A Quote by Neill Blomkamp

'Chappie' would be like 'RoboCop,' but hilarious. If you mixed 'Robocop' with 'E.T.' and it was... funny, that's what it is.

RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?'

Jose Padilha

Hot Fuzz in a strange way, for me, summons up the spirit of watching R-rated films that I was too young to watch. I was 14, 13 maybe, when Robocop came out. Seeing Robocop at my brother's friend's house, and not really supposed to be watching it, because it was [rated] 18 and I was 13. That mind-blowing experience, because not only is it a great film, but it feels illicit.

Edgar Wright

I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.

Joel Kinnaman

RoboCop was maybe the best summer of my entire life.

Miguel Ferrer

'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.

I ?an't imagine how ROBOCOP could be PG-13.

Joel Kinnaman

If we weren't doing remakes, nobody would know who Shakespeare was. I'm not saying that RoboCop is Shakespeare, but it's a way we're retelling. That's what we do as human beings. We retell our favorite stories.

Joel Kinnaman

I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.

Michael Keaton

With RoboCop, I couldn't be happier because it's such a quality director.José Padilha is a young master.

Joel Kinnaman

Snoop Dogg is hilarious. T.I. is really funny. Who else? 50 Cent is hilarious. Jay-Z is funny. I've met him, but he's funny in interviews. He was funny when I saw him, too. Ludacris is funny. Everybody is. Rappers are funny, a lot of them.

Jay Pharoah

I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.

Jose Padilha

When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'

Joel Kinnaman

'RoboCop,' when that came out, was like the best comic book movie ever, and it's not based on a comic book.

Edgar Wright

There is no comparing the brutality and cynicism of today's pop culture with that of forty years ago: from High Noon to Robocop is a long descent.
