RoboCop is a 1987 science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven. Set in crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan, in the near future, RoboCop centers on a police officer named Alex J. Murphy who is murdered brutally by a vicious gang and subsequently re-created as a cyborg known as RoboCop.
Ironically, Murphy already fit the trope before he became a cyborg, remaining conscious the whole time while being viciously shot to death by Boddicker's gang and even surviving a point-blank Desert Eagle shot to the head long enough to finally die at the hospital about two hours later.
