Peter Weller's performance required him to train for months to move convincingly in a 55-pound suit that took 11 hours to apply, yet he still conveys Murphy's humanity struggling to emerge. The film's fake commercials—for the 6000 SUX car, the family board game "Nukem," and a Star Wars-parody called "Strategic Defense Peace Platform"—satirize American consumer culture with savage precision. Initially rated X for violence, RoboCop was edited eleven times before achieving an R rating, and has been recognized as one of the most intelligent science fiction films of the 1980s.
