Yes, RoboCop: Rogue City rewards you for shooting criminals in the d**k
Your move, creep.
As the new video game RoboCop: Rogue City arrives in stores both digital and physical, you might be wondering how it pays tribute to cop-turned-robot Alex Murphy's finest moments on screen.
And if the cyborg lawman is remembered for one thing, it must just be this: the fact that he shot a criminal in the d**k in his first cinematic outing, 1987's RoboCop film.
The scene, where RoboCop brutally stopped a violent attack by a man on a woman, has become the stuff of legend.

Sure, that film spawned a bunch of sequels and heaps of merchandise (and even a shiny reboot in recent-ish memory), with its brutal action being remembered fondly alongside its tongue-in-cheek political satire and big sci-fi ideas.
And the deadpan performance from Peter Weller, who reprises his role in the new game, is always praised by fans.
But let's be honest here: The penis-shooting scene is probably the most meme-worthy moment from that original flick, and as such it has earned a spot in the internet's collective memory.
It has even spawned a T-shirt slogan!
So, how does RoboCop: Rogue City pay tribute to this moment? Take a look at the fun social video clip below to find out! And warning: it contains strong violence and adult themes.
As you can see, the developers at Teyon have not shied away from this groin-destroying moment in RoboCop history. In fact, it looks like they've embraced it with the full permission of their publishers at Nacon.
That's right, folks. If you shoot an enemy 'down there' in RoboCop: Rogue City, you'll be rewarded in a very official way with a trophy/achievement!
Titled Zip This Up, the trophy's bashfully described unlock condition is listed in the official materials as 'shoot an enemy in a sensitive spot'.
It's totally up to you if you want to dispense the iconic line to yourself afterwards. "Your move, creep..."
