No he became property, an asset owned by the corporation.

Except Robocop. The moral being: Only cops that are treated like property are good.

I think it was a vice president, not a CEO, though really at that level they're all kind of the same.

Edit: upon reflection, I dont think he even shot the guy, the murder robot did.

Edit2EB: upon further reflection I'm probably mistaking it for an earlier scene where the murder bot goes on a rampage, which leads to them making robocop. Clearly I have to rewatch it.

It's been ages but if my memory isn't lying to me...

Hidden in case anyone hasn't seen or is going to rewatch

you're right about the bad guy end up being a VP, the whole story unravels in front of Robocop and the company's board, and the dude is standing there smugly because one of Robocop's core directives is he can't kill an executive of the company. The CEO in standard 80s action movie style says "hey ... you're fired", Robocop pauses long enough for the bad guy to realise what just happened, then shoots the guy

Also the above is for the first movie, I think the second movie is where the sentry thing does the deed.

I should dust these off and watch them again lol

The second movie has a pseudo robocop where they put a sociopathic criminal in a brain suit, the first one has the murder robot. I know that at least.

Yeah, also I've had nightmares about the time they chopped him up and dumped him in front of the station and he still wasn't dead.

No, no.

It's because Robocop is a dead cop.

In fact, they killed him to save money, but still get the labor.
