* CrossesTheLineTwice: Verhoeven has explicitly stated his belief that when you have a scene of horrific bloody violence, going over the top with it reduces the horror and turns it comedic. This can be seen put into good use in ''Film/RoboCop1987'' and ''Film/TotalRecall1990''. He criticized the cuts made to the boardroom scene and Murphy's death in ''[=RoboCop=]'' as having the result of actually making them ''more'' disturbing.
