This guy died and they still made him go to work, I will always remember that
Very popular meme in Brazil.
I grew up watching part 2 a lot more than the first, so it holds a very special place in my heart. Love this sequel.
I absolutely love it too. Severely underappreciated
The guy in the anti car theft commercial who lived, is the actor who played Lionel luthor, lex luthors father on smallville.
Donald Glover.. He also played Clamp the Trump substitute in Gremlins 2 as well as the baddies father in "Shazam!'
He also played in the second predator movie
@@ericstarkey551 Where?
@@mcgilj1 Dont you mean Jon Glover?
@@Paul_1971 lol.. Yeah.. Got my wires crossed with Trump. Lol
Funny how the killer kid is the voice of little foot in land before time in the original lol.
I love how the movie basically told the audience that they know that this movie is full of problems with the prototypes scene. Even calling the prototypes "RoboCop II" was a nice touch.
I don't know if it was directly about the movie being "full of problems" as it was, like Gremlins 2, a meta-commentary on the inherent problems in sequels themselves, eg. increased corporate-think and control over the larger budgets, the audience demand to do the same story but bigger without audiences realizing that's what's happening, etc. So what you were saying, but as part of a bigger, deliberate statement.
@@michaelccozensBingo
14:26 "He's probably not wearing pants when they're driving." That's essentially true. Peter Weller couldn't fit in the car with the full Robocop suit, so they had to shoot him in the car wearing only the top half of the suit.
Came here to say this, lol.
I remember seeing a special on tv when the first one came out. Peter Weller mentioned it took hours to put that suit on and how awful it was. I can see why he elected to do Naked Lunch instead of Robocop 3. Aside from the terrible script.
So we could see his robo-c 0 c k? 😂
He couldn't walk comfortably full stop ... and it is true Peter did most of the scenes without the bottom half of the costume.
Later that night, Mrs finally put the pillow down over Mr's face while he slept. " No one will blame me. No one will blame me." She said to herself, as the thrashing slowly came to a end.
This is darker than the movie LOL
LOL
He made his wife watch Robocop 2. May God have mercy on his soul. :D
This is kind of a bizarre joke in my head that I just see happening sometimes because of the looks and comments she gives him sometimes.
Some of y’all go way dark for no reason in my opinion just saying
13:33 Hob is a coldblooded murderous little monster, but his death scene is still a tearjerker thanks to some good acting by Gabriel Damon and Peter Weller.
I always loved RoboCain’s layout and weapons/tools at his disposal. Just a walking tank with a brain.
see - Robocop 3. really BAD Robocop movie though.

ROBOCOP 2 IMDB
Peter Weller returned to voice RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11 and the first person shooter RoboCop Rogue City. This was followed by a sequel, multiple shows, animated shows, a reboot and videogames. This has the same director as The Empire Strikes Back. The actor playing Caine, Tom Noonan, is also in Manhunter and Last Action Hero
and is Frankenstein's creature in Monster Squad and is in Eight Legged Freaks and Hell on Wheels.
I mean, it's a no Brainer for him. He owes a lot of his success to this franchise but he hated all the makeup/ costume time.. doing just the voice is easy money
0:08 "Could probably open a pickle jar." Before you were born, there was a TV here in the San Francisco Bay Area show called "Evening Magazine" which had two co-hosts, Steve Fox and Jan Yanehiro. In one sequence, Steve told Jan that when boys reach a certain age, they taken to a secret place where they are taught the ancient art of opening pickle jars.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but Cain was played by Tom Noonan. He was the Tooth Fairy/Red Dragon killer in "Manhunter". He's been typecast playing psychopaths ever since then.
He was also Frankenstein's Creature in 'The Monster Squad'.

THE RIPPER !
The scientist in the nuke trailer is Frank Miller. He wrote a lot of great comics, including 300. He basically wrote the skeleton of the story for this movie but was pissed at how much the studio changed it
Although I've read Miller's version, and I think I like this one better. Miller did some brilliant stuff, but he seriously lost it towards the end of his career, much like Michael Crichton. Fascism eats brains, real quick, and it seems to start with the ability to self-edit.
Let's Just Say I Liked The "Daredevil" Comic Book 📚📕📖🙇 A Whole Lot More Than This Movie. 🎭🎬🎥🎞️📽️🍿🍿🍫🍫🥤🥤
Let's Just Say That Shows What A Good Actor Kurtwood Smith Is , ( The Villain In "Robocop" ( 1987 )
This "Robocop 2" ( 1990 ) Was Missing Someone Like Kurtwood Smith As A Villain!
I Really Liked The First "Robocop" Movie.
But I Really Did Not 🚫 Care For This 2nd "Robocop" Movie.
Your Right!
This Movie Shows That There Was No Reason For A 3rd "Robocop" Movie!
But Yet , Hollywood Just Could Not Resist Making Yet Another "Robocop" Movie.
I Am Glad That Frank Miller Did Not Write ✍️%100 Of This Turd , Of A Movie! 💩
( But The Commercials Were Funny! )
"It Won't Even Run Your Battery 🔋 Down!" 😳😬😨😱🤯🚗😁😅😂🤣
18:43 Director Cameo on the screen!! That's Irvin Kershner who directed ESB and was Georges instructor in film school.
"he's probably not wearing pants while he's driving." just one more thing Robocop and i have in common....😂
Not as good as the 1st but still a decent action movie. I never understood the hate for it.
I like the film too.
There's a lot of plot holes. Why didn't the criminals just kill Robocop, instead of dumping his damaged body at the cops' doorstep?
@@Rocket1377 There's plot holes in a lot of movies. If the movie is entertaining enough for me that stuff doesn't bother me.
@@Rocket1377 they didn't see him as a person, they scrapped him like a junk car and dumped the face of the PD in front of the striking cops
@Rocket1377 always assumed they showed he wasn't a threat anymore and left him as a message to the city probably figuring he was beyond repair. In reality most businesses wouldn't spend the money it'd take to rebuild something that damaged.. especially as greedy as ocp is
say what you will about the writing, but Robocop 2 is always a guilty pleasure, it's peak practical effects. Compare his suit to any recent Iron Man shot and it's clears easily.
19:19 Having to make an appointment to cuddle your daughter... that's the real dystopia.
Yeah. That was weird
The reporter was Leeza Gibons, talk show host and entertainment reporter.
Is that Vanna white? 😂🤣 Priceless it is TV's ET co-host from '84-'00 Leeza Gibbons.
For those who didn't know, RoboCop 2 had a rocky production. It was initially meant to be directed by Tim Hunter, a director known for making movies about character who go through real life emotional issues, but dropped out due to creative differences from the producers who gave many notes and demands on the story. All we do know was that his version would've been more character driven like the original movie and RoboCop 2 was more of a robotic fast animal-like machine. Frank Miller was hired to write the script and met with Hunter but after he left, he lost interest but still stayed on to pen the script, with Irvin Kershner directing. Even then, the script was constantly being revised during production, with scenes being added and dropped as shooting went on.
- Lewis was originally around to lend Murphy a hand. Nancy Allen has said in interviews that the original script featured her character prominently, but the re-writes diminished her role. At one point, Lewis takes up a collection and visits the OCP headquarters to talk with Dr. Faxx about fixing RoboCop after being disassembled by Cain and his gang. Later, she helps her robo-partner snap out of it after he has a confrontation with his former wife. (Which I'll get to.)
There was also a scene where RoboCop and Lewis break into Faxx's office and discover the blueprints for RoboCop 2. During the brewery shootout, Lewis gets into a fight with Catzo, Cain's right hand man.
- One deleted scene filmed had Cain and Angie visit OCP headquarters, and Cain's encounter with Dr. Faxx and discuss about the RB2 project which would later spark Dr. Faxx putting his brain in the machine, and after taking more Nuke, he walks up to the gray RC armor from the original movie on display and stares at it face to face. There was also a scene of him meditating to explore his hippie side, and there's behind the scenes pictures of him wearing a cool top hat.
- The original script/Novelization also dove deeper into RoboCop's psyche. The movie attempts to explore how RoboCop has become more human since the ending of the first, but the subplot is quickly dropped. In the scene where Robocop is pulled apart by the gang, he visions himself visiting Murphy's grave with the scene cutting back and forth of him masked and unmasked in a surreal way. (In the Marvel adaptation, this just had him visiting his grave after his wife's visit.)
- In the novelization that utilized the original script, we get a better explanation for why RoboCop is waging a war on Nuke. Seeing the crumbling state of the city and how so much of the youth is hooked on Nuke has him worried that his son will end up like Hobb, corrupted by vice and crime.
- The scene where RoboCop encounters his former wife at the police station happens much later in the book. After being told by the lawyers to stay away from her, RoboCop drives to a junkyard to ponder what he has become...
("He closed his eyes and daydreamed, seeing himself frozen solid by rust. He envisioned the mighty magnets lifting his long out-modeled, creaky, corroded body toward the conveyor belt. The conveyor accepting the offering without question. The whining, flailing machine nourished itself on Robo's body, tearing it to pieces with rotating, razor-sharp teeth.")
Fortunately, Lewis arrives to snap RoboCop out of his suicidal thoughts and remind him of who he is.
- The original climax has RoboCop and RoboCop 2 instead fight in a giant construction site (much like Spider-Man 3.) and you actually find the concept art online.
- Finally, in the aftermath of the fight between him and RoboCop 2, Murphy notices his son amongst the crowd, and does the TJ Lazer gun-twirl to let him know that everything's alright and smiles.
There are so many scenes changed and altered that it made the sequel become a middle-of-the-road "meh" movie. You can tell the film had the right ingredients, but someone pissed in the recipe. It's clearly not a bad movie, but I feel it's just disappointing. And I think that hurts more than just being a bad movie; to see the potential put to waste. And the novelization/original script showed that potential. 😞
For some reason the second failed Robocop at 12:00 kills me. The timing, the music, the sound effects and the scream are hilarious, straight out of Evil Dead in its tone.
When Peter Weller was initially asked to reprise the role of Robocop/ Murphy in this film, he refused. He disliked Neumeier and Miner's rough draft as a "cartoon" that lacked both tension and a compelling story equal to the original. Frank Miller and Walon Green's new and much improved screenplay brought Weller back to the bargaining table. When the studio offered to pay him an "obscene" amount of money, he couldn't say no.
albertobozzettocarvalho Lol. Actually it's not. It's the word Weller used to explain why he chose to play Robocop in the second film. The studio literally made him a financial offer he couldn't refuse.
I'm just glad he dodged 3 due to filming naked lunch. Robocop 1 and 2 were best
@@Ah-ed6ie Weller also got tired of wearing the suit and apparently shooting Robocop 2 wasn't a pleasant experience all around.
The drug-scientist that worked for Caine is played by Frank Miller.
Are we not going to address how awesome was Mr. Movies' impression of Peter Weller's Robocop?! Nice!
Not many people notice, but Robocop uses a text based prompt (eg DOS style), while "Robocop 2/Cain" uses a menu based (old Mac OS) style display prompt.
I always noticed a difference
The irony sunblock looks like the planet. But it's not fully protected from the sun, and the product has hazzards too😅
Not only did Frank Miller write the script he was the drug cook that blew up during the raid. He also hated what they did with the script. After RoboCop two and three. Frank Miller swore off Hollywood until Robert Rodriguez convinced him that he could do a good job adapting SIN CITY. But also Peter Weller voiced Batman in The Dark Knight returns animated movies.
Have you seen the comic based on Miller's original script? It's nothing special! Miller had no screenwriting experience; Weller, Nancy Allen, and Kershner all were unenthused about the original script (Weller openly admitted that he kept refusing the sequel until the studio dumped a ton of money on him). Sometimes a movie is rushed into production with an inadequate script, and then the studio and direction try to varying degrees of success to improve the script.
@@ryanjacobson2508 I didn't say Frank Miller wrote good scripts, just that he hated what was done with them. Personally I think if someone took the theme's from RoboCop 2 and developed them they could have made two or three decent movies instead of one with a bunch of half baked storylines.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Miller's original script for Robocop 2 was pretty bad by all accounts and the comic adaptation proved it.
The actress in the sun bloc commercial is best known for her role as "Alotta Fagina” in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
Ok
I remember her from Summer School and In The Army Now.
Summer School and Italian Softcore Porn flicks
She was in Bride of Re-Animator also.
Also Adira Tyree in Babylon 5
It's sad that kids today think Leeza Gibbons is Vanna White.
It was a sincere effort. At least a third of the movie is a worthy sequel. They just failed to follow through on those scenes. "They made this to honor him" is absolutely chilling and brilliant.
Forcing a full system reboot to default. Smart, but that could have gone wrong in so many ways OTHER than just harming himself. lol
@19:20 Annnddddd SHES BACK! We missed you! Have goodnight n sweet dreams!! Get some water and goto bed!
I'm wondering if this compilation of "new" Robocop's is where Jon Favreau got the idea to show all the Iron Man rip-off attempts in Iron Man 2??? It COULD be, right?? lol.
Pickle joke was hilarious.
There was also a Saturday Morning Cartoon show for Robocop as well as a kid friendly NES game.
they made several unsuccessful TV shows in the 90s and early 00s as well.. the cartoon was fun as a kid but rewatching it as an adult.. it aged horribly. The nes game was pretty rough.. the arcade version was much better... but still not good.. it was back b when the games had little to nothing to do with the movies they were based on
Frank, Cain's chemist was played by Frank Miller.
The perfect response:
0:14 Robocop starts buzzing and without cutting from Robocops face, he gives a sly smirk. Then the guy questioning him looks down "AWWE THIS MEETING IS OVER!"
"This guy really hates these cans" = The Jerk staring Steve Martin. GREAT call lol
Classic I own all 3 movies on DVD in one case each has a disc set.
OMG. That one blond cop - next to Lewis when they tried to get Murphy back on his feet after he shocked himself - was also on Supernatural. He played the first actor who was Alistair (the demon that tortured Dean in Hell). Alistair is later played by Christopher Heyerdahl, who gets killed by Sam, in season 4.
I love this movie, almost more than the original. Its comedy was so far ahead of its time with the commercials and commentary. A lot of critics/people say that this one was just to brutal/mean. And yeah theres merit to that, the freaking opening scene even lol. But the movie is the PERFECT amount of action and schlock. Robocain was also kind of horrifying when this movie first came out and one of the last great uses of stop motion capture.
24:06 They gave him a customer service program, he could work at a home improvement store with that programing.
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me if you want to live." Is that Robocop's or Terminator's catchphrase?
That shirt!! Reminds me of the MANY wars me and the neighborhood homies had on the NES!!
Watching Robocop makes you understand why the Punishment of "Take him to Detroit" is so scary
As sequels go this wasn't bad. There were even a bunch of video games based on it.
19:20 - I wish I could walk into a room and receive an applause.
Cutest guest appearance in any reaction video for sure 😊
One of the last uses of stop-motion animation before CGI took over.
Artificial pickles, and Tecmo Bowl baby ! 😂🤘
that was a killer launch party for robocop 2
To this day, I want MagnaVolt on my car.
Sure would hope they'd be more reliable than OCP products though.
I watched this one and the 3rd one before Robocop. The first is the best. My parents did not care what I watched growing up as long as I knew it was pretend and to never do what I saw. Being an 80's / 90's kid was the best.
the 3rd one never happened. it's just a glitch in the matrix that needs to be deleted. The first one is far and above the best
In the TV series Robocop shoots things that traps or knocks out the villains.
And the biggest turn, the CEO isn't a villain.
murphy is SUCH a troll. "isn't this a school day?" 😂😂🤣
How is that "trolling"? He's not wrong.
@@K-dawg26 he is deliberately egging them on with a question about obvious circumstances to get a reaction and disrupt their event.
damn, i just noticed that the sound of kane's shoulder gun contains the same sound from the scene of "predator 2" with the changing vision modes of the yautja (when keyes is trying to impair the predator's vision).
the placement of the sounds combined with the alarm sound after the third shot also reminds me of the mentioned scene.
"How does a robot get high?"
Brain's still a sucker for that dopamine kick.
"Take it there" whenever you see an "opening." 🤣
Dig the "Tecmo-Bowl" shirt 👍😎
The guy in the intro doing the car defense system ting is John Glover. He plays Lionel Luthor in Smallville and I feel like he'd make a great Lex Luthor in a feature move. During the events of the Doomsday horror Lex was seen with thick wavy Red hair and a full beard. I believe that John Glover (as Lionel Luthor) appeared very similar to that specific Lex Luthor image. I think it could work. although Gene Hackman returning would be EPIC AF. even if only in a voice over capacity. I mean is IS over 90 now; gotta cut him some slack. also IF DC Animations studios can pull this off, I'd definitely watch a story arc with Tom welling and Michael Rosenbaum reprising their roles As Lex and Superman respectively. Why not right?? The Arrow-verse did an animated movie. With Flash and Green Arrow actors Grant Guston and Stephan Amell
Uh...no.
Ok
Always hold on to smallville
This is almost better than the first film.... So dissed over.... I loved this film.
Still gave it thumbs up because your missus is un impressable spice. That's so fkn wild.
The failed Robocop 2 prototypes are my favorite part of this movie. Darkly hilarious.

The woman the Mrs. misidentified as Vanna White is actually Leeza Gibbons, who was a host of Entertainment Tonight (84-00) and her own talk show as well (94-00).
The creepy evil kid creeped me out when I watched this movie as a kid.
🤔 Evil kids in any movie creeps me out.
You guys should watch The Good Son 😉
My first car was a Chevy Citation 😂 It was older than me. White with a red stripe 😁
That young boy "Hub" was played by Gabriel Damon Lavezzi. Off the top of my head he was the one who did the voice to Littlefoot in the original The Land Before Time.
The robocop 2 prototype that ripped his helmet off and screamed. . . . . That was me. I'm OK 👍 😂
I like these one, a little more campy then the first one IMO but fun. This was filmed in Houston, it is interesting how the mixed different interiors with different buildings. The scene with the little league and the electronic store i used to park in the parking lot the first time I worked downtown. Also the CGI was done on an Amiga (Comendor),
For weeks after filming, you could walk areas of downtown and find dozens of dropped Nuke cartridges. It was actually a saline re-moisturizer for contact lens wearers in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

yeah, that first rocket launcher they shot at Robocop (I believe) was a Surface to Air rocket launcher. That big box on the side could be the long distance targeting computer. whenever you hear Military people say "Lase the target." I believe that is what the big box was for. I could be wrong, I'm not an expert on anti-armor weapons. lol.
Like the Javelin anti-tank missile system.
basically a knockoff
STINGER MISSLE
I feel they are doing a satire/exaggeration of the armaments one can legally acquire... Like imagine being able to get an anti-aircraft or anti-tank missile launcher as a civilian.
@@ryanjacobson2508 I know right??
Yes. I feel the second half of the movie was a re-write from Miller's original story. You could tell that Miller was ready to explore Murphy's Catholicism the first half of the movie.
The second half degenerated into Robot Wars. One detail I enjoyed was that Murphy used a form of the old MS-DOS command line interface, while Caine had an Apple Finder interface. 😆
His intended treatment was later adapted into a comic book, which has gotten pretty negative reviews. Miller has a giant ego and gives a pretty self-serving account as to how they "butchered" his script. Sometimes studios have legitimate concerns about the quality of a script and try to improve it. Also, Walton Green was an established old school screenwriter who was brought in to polish things up; Miller I believe had no prior screenwriting experience.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Daredevil, Ronin, Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, 300. I have no idea why Miller would have an ego. 🙄
9:19 Mr. Movies, "Artificial pickle" LOL XD
The thing is, the kid in the negotiation scene with the mayor isn't really wrong. The criminalization and constant conflict of the war on drugs is what is making that industry more dangerous year to year. Decriminalize the drugs so they can be taxed and regulated to make them safer. Additionally, it is well documented that the only thing that prevented the complete implosion of the worldwide financial markets in 2008 was the drug trade. In many regions, drug money was the only liquid assets. Many banks were rescued by deposits of cash drug money.
Prior to the 1960's, far fewer did drugs to begin with. So the problem is that people simply do too many drugs.
The best of the Robocop sequels.
Also it's the final film to be directed by Irwin Kershner (Star Wars:Episode V-The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 and the James Bond remake, 'Never Say Never Again' in 1983).
Plus it's the first of the 2 sequels with comic industry legend, Frank Miller as screenwriter and he played Cain's head lab scientist.
This one really felt like a comic come to life.
So many stakes and awesomeness.
A lot was cut out of the scripts for the sequels (mostly from Miller).
But it was re-utilized in Avatar Press' RoboCop (2003-2006) comic series with Miller's name on it.
The Arcade scene had a bunch of games from Data East.
Robocop 1 and 2 were made into games by the same company.
RIP IRL to Galyn Görg as Angie, Cain's girlfriend.
Robocop 3 is the most hated of the trilogy.
Because of it's lowered quality, it feels more like a tv movie than theatrical feature.
LOL @ Artificial Pickle!
This is legit actually my favourite of the series
The Chemist drug manufacturer was Frank Miller
The actress in the Sunblock 5000 commercial is Fabiana Udenio, best known as “Alotta Fagina” from the first Austin Powers movie. The building seen in the background Fox Plaza or the fictional “Nakatomi Plaza” where Die Hard was filmed. The pool she’s sunbathing next to is also the same pool from Lethal Weapon 2 where both Mel Gibson and Joe Pesci fall into from 7 stories up out of the hotel suite, and Fox Plaza can also be seen from the same position from that scene as well.
lol @27:00 min everytime we de cherries and berries driving along its first one to say, “ they ain’t go no picket signs, they going to kick somebody’s ass!” Lmao dang I love this movie
9:26 When Mr comments on Robocop's pickle, Mrs. checks out and gives him the silent treatment for awhile.
She's lucky he didn't say RoboCock.
I was in my teens when I saw this at the cinema, I got my moneys worth. This movie is wild.
This is a fun movie, the action mixed with over the top humor is a good time
Mrs. Should watch Anchorman …”I’m Ron Burgundy?”😂
I love that this directed by Irvin Kershner, the director of The Empire Strikes Back:)
100% correct, Mr. Movies! Peter Weller did not wear the bottom half of the suit when in the car as it would not fit
Awesome! I said guess no happy hour too! Great minds think alike!
12:21 back in the 1960s, I read a book titled "Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman" which talked about the history, the state of the art, and future of artificial body parts and speculated on their possible applications as they become more advanced, and one chapter opened with a passage from a book (or maybe it was a play) in which "vol-amps" (voluntary amputees) enlisted to have their arms and legs amputated and replaced with prosthetic limbs that had superhuman strength and gadgets and weapons that could be attached to them to serve the government as super soldiers. I should try to dig up a copy of that. The technological stuff is outdated, but the speculation part is interesting.
LOIS & CLARK 1993
season 1 episode
about bionic boxers
It’s doable with todays technology
@@-M0LE Something that got pointed out a lot back when the TV cyborg hero with bionic legs , a bionic eye and a bionic arm, "The Six Million Dollar Man," was popular was that his super strong bionic arm would rip itself loose from his human flesh and blood shoulder or (because the opening animation seemed to show the bionics extending into the shoulder) fracture his spine when he lifted extremely heavy objects, so "realistically," you would either have to limit the strength of a bionic arm to the be within the limit of human durability, or artificially reinforce the shoulder, spine, hips and legs (the 6 Million Dollar Man had bionic legs, so he was already set there), or do full body replacement like Robocop.
I like this one as much as the first.
If you guys do 3 and the live action tv show, you MUST also do the cartoon show!!!
You’re not being too harsh. Your analysis of the movie was spot on.
The differences between Robocop 1 and 2 are a testament to the miraculousness and difficulty of filmmaking.
..and 3 = PG13?
@@dallesamllhals9161 That film is such a clusterfuck, co-writer Frank Miller, who played the chemist here and also co-wrote it with Walon Green ("The Wild Bunch") went back to comic books to create the Sin City saga. The reason he got hired to work on the second and third Robocop films is his "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" had a similar narrative style to the first Robocop film.
@@Madbandit77 Yeees?
The OCP commercial where the guy shoots himself is one of the darkest and funniest things I have ever seen. The gun Hob is carrying is a UC-9 AKA DEB M21 smg. The UC-9 was the prototype and the DEB M21 would have been the full production name of the gun, but it really didn't go anywhere and were never mass produced. There is 1 UC-9 prototype in existence and 9 DEB M21s made but the creator made around 100 transferable receivers which were bought out by another company and they assembled them into working guns called the UC smg.
The city of Detroit did indeed file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy on July 18, 2013. It was the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in U.S. history by debt, estimated at $18-20 billion. No corporation bought them though.
I like Robocop 2 even though it's obvious the studio changed a bunch of stuff in it. Love the dark tone, the evil little kid, and how OCP turned Robocop into social justice cop. Robocop 3 is... not good. It's (unintentionally) funny, but not worth it.
Great Cameo from her little highness!
It might be worth checking-out Robocop 3 briefly just to realize how vital Peter Weller's complex and subtle acting is to the character, especially in physicality.
19:16 Well, look who it is! Hadn't seen her in a minute! 😃😃😃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Whereas it’s not a patch on the first one, I still love Robocop 2. I love that there is actually a character in the movie called “Robocop 2”. I don’t know if Irvin Kershner fully got a handle on the satire and tongue in cheek feel of Verhoven’s original, but I think he did as good a job as anyone could of trying to capture it. Also, Frank Miller was the drug scientist working for Kane.
