RoboCop 2014 Deleted Scene Explains One Of The Remake’s Weirdest Changes

2014’s Robocop reboot originally included a scene that would have explained why Alex Murphy still has one of his human hands. The modern update of Robocop follows a similar set-up as the 1987 original, with Detroit cop Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) being nearly killed only to be given a new life as the cybernetic law enforcement officer Robocop. While Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop is regarded as one of the best sci-fi movies of its era, and a great societal satire, the 2014 Robocop by José Padilha unfortunately did not capture the same lightning in a bottle.
