Peter Weller consulted with Julliard’s Moni Yakim to develop a fluid style of motion for portraying RoboCop. Incorporating mime techniques, the two settled on a serpentine movement to convey the character’s unique nature. Weller practiced for seven months, during which the actor sometimes danced around Central Park wearing football gear. Then to cover the belt and any exposed wiring I designed a sort of Cod piece i think its called and this attached to the harness and the leggings with velcro.

Altogether, seven complete robosuits were manufactured for the first RoboCop movie. Some had specific functions, such as one required for a scene in which RoboCop walks through an exploding gas station. Special fireproof fiberglass and other safeguards were incorporated into the suit worn by a stunt-man during the potentially hazardous shot. Two additional robosuits termed 'third act' suits were also manufactured. Many reviewers discussed the film's violent content. [o] The violence was so excessive for Ebert and the Los Angeles Times that it became deliberately comical, with Ebert writing that ED-209 killing an executive subverted audience expectations of a seemingly serious and straightforward science-fiction film. The Los Angeles Times believed the violent scenes succeeded in creating experiences of sadism and poignancy simultaneously. [137] [141] Other reviewers were more critical, including Kehr and Walter Goodman, who believed RoboCop 's satire and critiques of corporate corruption were excuses to indulge in violent visuals. [142] [144] The Chicago Reader found the violence had a "brooding, agonized quality ... as if Verhoeven were both appalled and fascinated" by it, and The Christian Science Monitor said critical praise for the "nasty" film demonstrated a preference for "style over substance".
