Clarence J. Boddicker is the secondary antagonist of the 1987 sci-fi film RoboCop.
He is a nefarious and homicidal gang lord who also works for OCP senior president Dick Jones as his personal contract killer. He is significantly responsible for the creating of RoboCop by OCP after he brutally gunned down Officer Alex Murphy, which consequently resulted in both his wife Ellen and their son James moving to a new home in the process.
He was portrayed by Kurtwood Smith.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Prior to the film, he committed numerous crimes such as mass murder, rape, grand theft auto, and armed robbery. He also had a record of murdering 31 police officers and is introduced in the movie killing four more.
- During one of the robberies, he was angered at one of his men for accidentally burning the money and threw him off his vehicle onto the police car that was chasing them as a distraction.
- Mutilated and gunned down Officer Alex Murphy, making him undergo heavy surgery and to be reborn as a cyborg RoboCop. In addition to this, his actions also caused Murphy's wife Ellen and his son James to move to a new home - thus making him The Heavy of the film (as well as even the franchise).
- He works as Dick Jones' contract killer in order to expand his notoriety.
- On the orders of Jones, he tortured and killed Bob Morton, an OCP executive involved with Project RoboCop that recreated Murphy. He also prevented him from trying to call the cops on him by shooting his knees.
- Before killing Morton, he threatens two prostitutes inside his residence to leave. The only reason he spares the two was out of pragmatism.
- When cornered by RoboCop twice, he tried cowardly begging for his life. Although when cornered the second time, he was playing possum and luring RoboCop into a trap by having Leon Nash drop scrapmetal from a crane.
- Though he refused to deal with RoboCop again, Clarence agrees to work for Jones again when he was enticed by the future profits for him.
- He didn't care when he accidentally ran over Emil, only screaming in surprise.
- He also didn’t care when Officer Lewis blew up Leon with a projectile rifle, only being mildly shocked.
- He does not care about or show loyalty to anyone, neither his gang nor Jones, as he only works with him when he learns he can profit off his project and even rats Jones out to RoboCop upon being cornered.
- His death is rather gruesome, but still played for satisfaction as he deserved it for his actions.
Trivia[]
- He is the only Pure Evil in the franchise who isn't a main antagonist of any installment.
