Robocop: Mr Kinney (Kevin Page)

Comments for death : Robocop: Mr Kinney (Kevin Page).

Hmm. A bit underrated. The most famous death in Robocop!

I always sympathized with this guy. He did nothing to provoke his death (in fact, did everything possible to prevent it) but still he was moved down. And it seemed that no one in the office really cared. Aside from worrying about getting blood on their clothes, they had no feelings for this guy, and in fact, they pushed and shoved and forced him to face his fate because of their own cowardice.

His only crime? Brown-nosing. Sure, I'd love to see such a thing happen to more than one of my own co-workers, but this guy was flotsam. Plankton. Kill a shark, why dontcha? But see, there it is: that's what makes the villain's death so satisfying. Anyone that regards so casually the loss of a human life is someone desperately deserving of a nice gory death himself.

I do agree Ocafi.... But I still love this scene!!!

You have fifteen seconds to comply....

I think this scene really sets the whole mood of the film. The total lack of respect for fellow humans, and the complete brutality of the whole society shown throughout the film. "Very dissapointed!" Classic!

I just love Verhoeven's work! His dystopian futures are stupidly perfect fun! How can these be amusing to us?? I don't know, and I really don't care... I just love them!

I really like the "very disappointed" and "you call this a glitch" comments, the CEO being more concerned with the bottom line on the accounts than the bloody mess that was Mr Kinney on the boardroom table.

The name is spelled differently, but I sometimes wonder whether or not this death scene inspired the creators of South Park to start the "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" running gag.

Shouldn't this be "machinery" as well? 'Twas a machine that made lasagna out of the poor schmuck, after all.
