Description:
There's a new law enforcer in town and he's half man, half machine! From the director of Total Recall and Basic Instinct comes a "sci-fi fantasy with sleek, high-powered drive" (Time) about an indestructible high-tech policeman who dishes out justice at every turn! When a good cop (Peter Weller) gets blown away by some ruthless criminals, innovative scientists and doctors are able to piece him back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg called "Robocop."Impervious to bullets and bombs, and equipped with high-tech weaponry, Robocop quickly makes a namefor himself by cleaning up the crime-ridden streets of violence-ravaged Detroit. But despite his new, hardened exterior, Robocop is tormented by scraps of memory of his former life, and relives vividnightmares of his own death at the hands of the vicious killers. Now he is out to seek more than justice...he wants revenge! "Fast, furious and entertaining" (L.A. Daily News), Robocop is "a fiercely paced action film" (Screen International) that doesn't let up on the thrills.

When it arrived on the big screen in 1987, Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop was like a high-voltage jolt of electricity, blending satire, thrills, and abundant violence with such energized gusto that audiences couldn't help feeling stunned and amazed. The movie was a huge hit, and has since earned enduring cult status as one of the seminal science fiction films of the 1980s. Followed by two sequels, a TV series, and countless novels and comic books, this original RoboCop is still the best by far, largely due to the audacity and unbridled bloodlust of director Verhoeven. However, the reasons many enjoyed the film are also the reasons some will surely wish to avoid it. Critic Pauline Kael called the movie a dubious example of "gallows pulp," and there's no denying that its view of mankind is bleak, depraved, and graphically violent. In the Detroit of the near future, a policeman (Peter Weller) is brutally gunned down by drug-dealing thugs and left for dead, but he survives (half of him, at least) and is integrated with state-of-the-art technology to become a half-robotic cop of the future, designed to revolutionize law enforcement. As RoboCop holds tight to his last remaining shred of humanity, he relentlessly pursues the criminals who "killed" him. All the while, Verhoeven (from a script by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner) injects this high-intensity tale with wickedly pointed humor and satire aimed at the men and media who cover a city out of control. --Jeff Shannon

Some extra features on the making of the film with Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, etc. Still a wild ride of a film all these years later. Alot of Phil Tippets stop-motion effects would be CGI today. This edition contains both the original theatrical edition and the extended unrated version. The later is considerably more violent -- particularly in the scene where Boddicker's men shoot up Murphy. Nice performances by Weller (who is now a professor of Roman history at the University of Syracuse, NY), ... Read More

Back in 1987, I was a fresh High School graduate who already had a vast knowledge of modern day cinema within the Horror and Science Fiction fields. But in that same year I had heard through the grapevine that the company that had released the classic The Terminator was about to unleash another robotic film but with a character on the good side of the Law. And it's title was Robocop. Robocop? Man that sounds corny, my younger self thought. That is until I saw the teaser poster of this half man/half machine ... Read More

I've been a fan of this film since I first saw it at a small downtown theater in South Dakota. I'm not a fan of gory or ultra violent films; but this picture, along with its tongue and cheek humor, was like watching a live action adult comic book. With this two disc, 20th Anniversary edition, you not only get a choice to watch the Theater or the Extended Cut of the film, you get plenty of what I always look for when I purchase a DVD; EXTRAS, FEATURETTES & COMENTARY. My favorite was the documentary- "Flesh ... Read More

You don't really hear a lot about Robocop anymore, but this really was one of the biggest films of the 1980s. For a teenager like me, Robocop was the baddest dude in town back in 1987 - and now, twenty plus years later, he's still pretty much the baddest dude in town. The film really hasn't aged much at all, which came as a pleasant surprise to me. Some of the special effects involving the giant Enforcement Droid (ED-209) aren't impressive as they used to be, and that one shot looking down at someone falling to ... Read More

A hit film from the director of later box-office hit "Basic Instinct," the action movie "Robocop" is a classic. While I enjoyed the movie, I've gotta say that I've a small grievance. I played the Nintendo Game based on the film when I was a kid (and the music from the game sounded a bit like the main theme from the movie; I saw the film for the first time ever yeterday). Was a video game really neccessary to market this violent movie to kids? Could've been a Disney movie without all the graphic violence and strong ... Read More
