Better yet, Marty thought up the whole thing while he was accelerating to 88 mph when the Libyans were chasing him. The Delorean crashed and exploded into trillions of particles. Marty was instantly vaporized. The explosion then ignites the plutonium cache and causes a nuclear explosion which destroys California, and sends the whole Western hemisphere into nuclear winter. The jolt of the explosion also throws Earth's rotation off kilter, resulting in tectonic irregularities, causing thousands of volcanoes to form, destabilizing Earth's core, which weakens the magnetic field enough to allow the sun's radiation to penetrate, disintegrating the Earth. The Earth's debris is violently scattered into the solar system, striking the other planets, causing them to veer off their orbital trajectories, which then pulls them in toward the sun. Having absorbed too much mass, the sun goes supernova, destroying the Milky Way galaxy, which causes a singularity, which destroys the universe.
Which proves Doc's theory that time travel is dangerous lol.

I'm not done.
The destruction of the universe sends all matter backward in time 30 years, reassembling in 1955.

Thought so. Except in Jacob's Ladder, the fantasy-before-death thing really happens; it isn't a ridiculous theory as with the previous comments.
You don't need to explain that. I already know. LOL.
It's just an allusion. I wasn't trying to argue that JL was a dream.
The film is about Jacobs literal decent into hell (Dante's Inferno) occurring as his body dies. I forget that some people think it's just imaginary. What makes it such an effective horror is that it is not a dream.

What would be the point? If it's a robot hand with fake skin why only do the one? The face at least makes sense to make him a little less intimidating to civilians (and to allow the actor to emote).

He loses his left arm at the elbow in the explosion.

I think he means why didn't they give him fake skin on both prosthetic hands to make them match.

I get the feeling someone wanted to cash in on the popularity of Iron Man and thought, "Hey, how about Robocop? That's a guy in a robotic suit. Do we still own that? Why not make another one of those?" Do they care about the character or story of Robocop, or just what he resembles? I'm surprised there is not an arc reactor in his chest.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is, especially in terms of design (even with the opening faceplate). The problem is that Robocop isn't in a "robotic suit".. he IS a robot. (Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here, but still.. hehe).
Seriously, what would the percentage be, based on the original movie? I'd say at least 95% mechanical. The only thing left was his brain, presumably at least some of his spinal cord, and a little bit of his digestive system, maybe half a stomach and a few feet of intestine. One thing that occurred to me a while back, that never got brought up as far as I know, is; where is his brain? I think everyone assumes that it's in his head, but there's no reason for it to be there any more, and it's the least-protected part of his body now. I always figured it was in his chest, inside some insulated, super-protected casing, entirely self-contained, with only a bunch of wires and a few hoses connected to it.
Trust your feeling.

Or give him 2 robotic black hands to make them match not only each other, but the outfit too.

That would make too much sense.
