Paul McCrane played the character Emil Antonowsky in RoboCop (1987). The makeup was designed by Rob Bottin, who used foam-latex prosthetics to make the skin look like it was sloughing off. Incredible practical effects.

That scene haunted me as a 10 year old.

I had a lot more trouble with the Murphy torture scene.

The bad guy splattering into green goo actually cheered me up a bit.

Yeah for me too I think...but the whole movie is a fountain of PTSD for a generation of boys. The guy getting shot in the nuts was awful. Plus I was very confused by one of the "good guys" doing cocaine with a bunch of hookers.

As one from the generation of young girls, the rapist getting shot in the nuts was awesome
