During the famous warehouse chase scene in one of the final scenes in director Paul Verhoeven's ROBOCOP (1987), Emil one of the bad guys drives the truck aiming straight at ROBOCOP Officer Murphy, who jumps out of the way leaving Emil crashing the truck into a large tank of Toxic Waste. The back door of the truck then opens with toxic waste splashing out sending Emil tumbling through the pool of waste. He gets up and you see his skin hanging, his hand and face deformed like John Merrick from THE ELEPHANT MAN and you hear him gasping and moaning in horror. A deformed Emil staggers at another henchman (don't know his name) murmuring and moaning in an inaudible raspy voice "HHHEEEHHLLL'HMMHHEEEEHHH" (Help Me!). The other dude is cornered against a wall and panics in shock "DON'T TOUCH ME MAN!!!!" and runs off. Emil is still moaning and rasping his head off, and then is hit by the car driven by leader / con man Boddicker and explodes like a watermelon.
Would this really happen to you if you landed in a pool of toxic waste?
Would you be in serious agony and become deformed / physically disabled seriously?
Tell me what you know!
