That scene's actually from ROBOCOP 2, Vipco, which was directed by Irvin Kershner.

I love Verhoeven, he's a great director and one that specialises in films that are unapologetically violent and explicit. I'm a big fan of ROBOCOP (hate the sequels), FOURTH MAN and BASIC INSTICT. Still not gotten round to seeing SOLDIER OF ORANGE or BLACK BOOK though.
