RoboCop (1987) .... Officer Alex J. Murphy/RoboCop



I recognize the date 11/25/1986 as when my family had a funeral service for me, thinking I had been killed when the Libyan prison I was being held at was bombed. In my artificial and symbolic memory, the date 11/25/1986 is when my step-brother, Michael, was killed when he wrecked his pickup truck. I believe that in reality, my family chose the date 11/25/1986 for my funeral service because I was Jim Morrison's total age plus 59 days on that day. In my artificial and symbolic memory, my father was buried in Morrison Cemetery in Noble County, Oklahoma.

From 11/25/1986 to 7/17/1987 is: 33 weeks and 3 days

RoboCop is a 1987 cyberpunk action movie and satire of business-driven capitalism, directed by Paul Verhoeven. Filming took place in Detroit, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas filling in for Michigan locales as well. [1] It spawned two sequels, several comic books, multiple video games, two animated series, dozens of action figures and two television series, all featuring a cyborg police officer. The film was produced by Orion Pictures.

The film is set in a dystopian near future, in Detroit, Michigan. Violent crime is out of control, and the city is in financial ruin. The city contracts the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) to fund and operate the police department, in effect privatizing it. OCP is not interested in rebuilding "Old Detroit" but with replacing it with a modern utopia called "Delta City". Before this large construction project can begin, OCP wishes to end crime in the city, and creates a superhuman law-enforcement agent known as RoboCop.

RoboCop, set in the near future, included satirical comment that set it apart from other action movies. The film starts with the broadcast of an extremely short television news program called Media Break, with the slogan, "Give us three minutes, we'll give you the world" and even that is interrupted by a commercial-- for discount artificial hearts. Violent crime has nearly overwhelmed the Detroit police force, which has recently been taken over by a large, multinational corporation and Megacorp, Omni Consumer Products (OCP). There are also rumblings of a potential strike by the police, who feel they are being mistreated by OCP. They are also angry about the brutal murders of several of their comrades, masterminded by a well-known crime boss, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith). One officer is clinging to life, and the broadcast closes with the smiling Casey Wong cheering, "Good luck Frank!"



He was 59 years, 33 weeks, old within 3 days of the premier of the 1978 "Superman: The Movie."

RoboCop (1987) (as Daniel O'Herlihy) .... The Old Man




The actor who portrays one of the villians in the 1987 "RoboCop" presents an interesting connection with the 1-year anniversary of when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down and then held as a Prisoner of War in Libya until 4/14/1986. It is possible he was cast in this movie to create a '593' clue pointing to the anniversary of that event.

From 7/3/1943 to 2/14/1987 is: 15932 days
