RoboCop star Joel Kinnaman reveals his bionic behind... and he even has an assistant on hand to keep it shiny



One thing no one talked about when the original RoboCop was released was the cyborg's behind.

But that looks set to change, after Joel Kinnaman gave the first flash of his impressive rear while filming in Toronto, Canada on Thursday.



The Swedish actor seemed to revel in showing off his plastic posterior while talking through a scene with crew members.

And it was enough to make even Kim Kardashian jealous, with his pert behind reflected in the shape of the bodysuit.

The 32-year-old actor also seemed determined to make sure he looked perfect from every angle during filming, as a lackey was later spotted buffing his now famous asset with a duster.

One cannot envision the character from the 1987 original allowing such behaviour to pass without a few stern words.

But the remake seems to be a very different animal from Paul Verhoeven, which was a gritty satirical look at a non-too-distant dystopian future.

And while it may earn more than the original's $53m, it is certainly unlikely that it will match it in winning an Academy Award. In 2008, the film was selected by Empire magazine as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time, and was placed The Best 1000 Movies Ever Made list by The New York Times.

In the remake Kinnaman plays Alex Murphy, the hero police office who is critically injured in the line of duty.

His life is saved using the latest robot technologies, creating a futuristic Robocop who struggles to adjust.

Speaking to MTV Kinnaman said: 'The RoboCop reboot is going to be a lot more human,' adding, 'the original is one of my favorite movies. I love it.

However he also made a jolting admission, saying: ''Of course, [director Paul Verhoeven] has that very special tone, and the reboot is not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it.'

Fans of the franchise are no doubt hoping it does not sully the original's reputation by being a generic special effects laden effort in the same mould as another Verhoeven remake, 2012's much-derided Total Recall.
