How come the director doesn't even know the name of the hottest product their company is producing, maybe it's just to get him to say "Murphy.."..
shareThe Old Man was hands-off with company projects (unless it's Delta City, his dream). He seemed to just approve of whatever Jones and Morton were working on until it was time to be dazzled during board meetings.

Hey, that plutonium is mine, it's been registered for religious purposes!
because from that moment, he is no longer a "product", he is a man & he has a name.
it was the last dialog in the movie, which makes it so important in concluding the ending.
He break loose the "3 directives" and gain his free will to make his revenge finally.
"He break loose the "3 directives" and gain his free will to make his revenge finally"
I get what you want to say, but it's incorrect. He is still bound by the 4 directives, thus has to wait for the old man to fire Jones for him to be allowed to engage him.
Which does not negate in the least his "resurrection" in the sense that he's now regained his humanity. He simply knows his limits and has indeed free will to work around them (keeping his distance and gun in hand ready to shoot the second the old man fires Jones)
Maybe it would make more sense if the ending went like this:
Old Man: "Nice shooting Robocop"
Robocop: "It's Murphy"
But from a style perspective I can see why they did the ending as is. It flows better than the one I'm proposing.
