This caused considerable delays, and by the time the suit was completed, it was three weeks late and arrived at the studio on the day that the first RoboCop scene was scheduled to be shot. Ultimately, nothing seemed to work and they went back to what was pretty much Bottin's original design.
The production team wasn't satisfied with the initial design, and kept changing it and putting additions to it for months. The RoboCop suit was designed by Rob Bottin and his team. However, his wife read it all the way through and convinced him that the story was layered with many satirical and allegorical elements, after which Verhoeven finally decided to direct the film. He threw it away after reading the first pages, convinced it was just a dumb action movie.
The screenplay had been offered to (and been rejected by) virtually every big director in Hollywood before Paul Verhoeven got hold of it. Let’s celebrate one of the best movies ever made.
