While growing up in the capital city Olympia of Washington State I had a tough childhood. My father and I migrated from Vietnam to United States in 1987 in the same year that RoboCop 1 played by Peter Weller as Police Officer Alex Murphy / RoboCop.

RoboCop 1 (1987) directed by Paul Verhoeven has the best plot in all the RoboCop movies I seen up today. In RoboCop 1 movie Alex Murphy is brutally gunned down by drug-dealing thugs.

- “Protect the innocent”
- “Uphold the law”
