1. Background: Globalization VS Detroit: Reminiscent of the bankruptcy of the city of Detroit today, the dystopian setting of the old Robocop is simply a prediction. The new version is still based in Detroit, but the perspective is expanded to the world. Robots produced by OmniCorp have been hit by killing bombs when performing missions in the Middle East, and its processing laboratory is located in China.
2. Mecha: Black VS Silver Gray: The old version of the silver gray armor is already ICON-level. In the new version, Murphy turned Robocop's first suit of armor with silver as the main tone, paying tribute to the old version. But soon he put on a new set of black armor. For this reason, the boss of OmniCorp in the film gave this explanation: After testing, the black armor makes criminals have the highest fear value.
3. Helmet: Streamline VS straight barrel: The new Robocop helmet adopts a completely streamlined design, which is more in line with the industrial design orientation guidelines of the "post-Apple era" in the 21st century. As a whole, the new version of the equipment does not have the sluggish and bulky feeling of the old version in the 80s, and is more portable and flexible. Robocop's skills are more agile, and the combat effectiveness is even higher.
4. Mount: Motorcycle VS car: Detroit was once a world-famous automobile city. The boss' Robocop uses an ordinary Ford Taurus police car as a means of transportation. The new version of the mount is matched with the new black armor and replaced with a modified Kawasaki heavy machine motorcycle. The appearance of Nalafeng was ridiculed by fans as "Batman the Dark Knight wearing a Daft Punk helmet."
5. Software: Smart VS Communication: The software configured in the new version of Mecha is also fully upgraded, unlike the old version, which only undertakes the communication function, and the original operation interface is like a closed circuit TV. The new version can scan faces to judge emotions, link police databases to lock criminals in the crowd within seconds, replay crime scene videos, and more. Coupled with the flashing red fluorescent eyeliner on the start-up, it looks like a Google Glass placement advertisement.
6. Weapons: Double gun vs single gun: The new Robocop weapon is also prepared for "two hands". The NI-408 semi-automatic pistol in the right hand is like the old AUTO-9 tribute, and the M2 combat rifle in the left hand is more lethal. The weapon is usually placed in Robocop's thigh, and the posture of the revolver drawing a gun under crisis is like a cowboy in a western movie. The new version continues this classic action of the old version.
7. Humanity: Choice VS Amnesia: In the old version, Murphy died tragically during the mission, and was later used by OmniCorp to resurrect it with the help of machinery, but the memory has been erased. The new version of Murphy was attacked by a gang bomb, but it survived. Wearing an invulnerable high-tech armor can extend his life, but it means that he can never have close contact with his beloved wife and son. However, Murphy accepted this choice to turn himself into a monster in pursuit of justice.
8. Scientist: Mentor VS Controller: Norton, the scientist who turned Murphy into Robocop in the old version, is basically a villain. Van Hoeven made a bitter satire on the wolf ambition who lost his conscience in the capitalist society. But the new version of Norton does not regard Murphy as a machine that can only accept instructions, but a person. This role is played by Gordon Sheriff Gary Oldman in the "Batman Prequel" series.
9. Villain: Joy VS Majesty: From dress to talk, the president of OmniCorp in the new version is an Oracle Larry Ellison-style 21st century rock star CEO. Under the predecessor of Batman Michael Keaton, the character looks gentle and deceptive. The marketing director played by Jay Baruchel, a member of the Hollywood gangster, is quite happy.
10. Classic robot: cool VS retro: ED-209 is a drone made by OmniCorp, and it is also Robocop's main rival after awakening. In the old version, ED-209 looked at the stairs and sighed because the legs were not flexible enough. Many movie fans have deep memories of this unstoppable picture. This classic character is still presented in the new version. Although the appearance is cooler and the firepower is more fierce, it still looks "too tender" in front of Murphy's Robocop.
