Peter Weller's performance has become legendary. What were some of his best moves?

One of my favs is the way Robo sorta jogs away from the toxic waste tank before Emil crashes into it. He's so nonchalant about it 

Great way to describe it.

Mine is his look as he notices ED-209 standing outside the OCP front doors (Ugh, this moron, without saying it). Flows very nicely with his effortless dismantling of said robot.

Haha, in that same scene, I also like the way he turns around to see ED209's remains stomping around like a headless chicken.

When he experiences his first nightmare and exits the cage. His head and body motions are literally perfect.

Yeah that's a great scene. That one and the gun range scene when he finishes firing and his arm goes back and kinda locks in. Great performance and sound effects.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

When he's being gunned down by ED209 and the police force. His quick small movements with his head is brilliant and, to me, really shows how a robot is struggling to survive, that he's got something to live for.

My personal fav moment is the scene right before he's goes to the nightclub to question Leon Nash. When he's walking through his old home which is up for sale, triggering memories of his wife. The few seconds before he destroys the automatic realtor are excellent. Weller was fantastic in both films.

There are a lot of great ones in the warehouse scene, and the strange, contorted faces he makes as he's executing them one by one are a nice touch. Another favorite of mine is when he swivels around and back to shoot the guy above him who looks like Super Mario.

Haha that's exactly what I was thinking last time I watched it. My favorite has to be during the news clip at the elementary school. Robocop is walking and as a group of kids are following he heel turns to them and they freeze. It was almost like he was screwing with them.
