ROBOCOP 2 ORIGINAL OFFICER ALEX MURPHY STUNT COSTUME |
Updated: August 20, 2023
An "Officer Alex Murphy / RoboCop" stunt costume as seen worn by Peter Weller and/or his stunt double in the reprisal of the title
role from Irvin Kershner's sequel film RoboCop 2 ( Orion Pictures, 1990 ).
Designed by Rosanna Norton, the costume comprises a fiberglass helmet with latex face, urethane armor, and an undersuit and gloves
made of foam and spandex. The helmet and armor pieces bear "OCP" markings and are painted an iridescent blue, with the helmet
created specifically for the production and the armor pieces believed to have originated from the production of the first film,
RoboCop ( Orion Pictures, 1987 ). Extensive wear from production use and age. Breaks across the inside wrists on both gloves were professionally repaired in the past month.
In the film, RoboCop fights drug dealers and corrupt politicians in the dystopian city of Detroit, while contending with new police droids, known as "RoboCop 2," created by the fictional Omni Consumer Products ( OCP ) to replace striking police officers. The
chest plate of the costume can be seen during the scene in which "Angie" ( Galyn Gorg ) shoots RoboCop in the chest with a
three-pronged taser. The damage from the prongs can be seen on the chest plate. Costume measures 78.5 x 30 x 26 inches.
Value: $6,000.
