this movie was one of the first american films done by director paul verhoeven .
|
|
he has done films since then such as basic instict and starship troopers .
|
|
all of his movies have one main thing in common- they don't skimp on the violence .
|
|
in a verhoeven movie a guy doesn't get shot once in the chest- he gets shot many times all over the body .
|
|
robocop takes place in detroit in the future .
|
|
things are pretty bleak .
|
|
the company ocp rules the city with an iron fist and is moving in on running the police force .
|
|
peter weller plays a cop who goes on a mission with his partner , nancy allen .
|
|
peter weller goes in an empty room alone and gets killed .
|
|
meanwhile ocp has a failed demonstration of a ed-209 model robot crime fighter .
|
|
someone comes up with the idea of having a cyborg robocop so they use any parts worth scalvaging from peter weller and make him into the robocop the movie is titled after .
|
|
the plot of this movie generally runs at a decent pace .
|
|
it drags a bit towards the end with robocop wanting to finish everybody off , but plot twists keep it exciting .
|
|
the acting is bad from weller when he is human , but very good when he is robocop .
|
|
nancy allen does a decent job .
|
|
this movie doesn't leave itself open for a sequel exactly .
|
|
but they made one anyway .
|
|
enter . . .
|
|
robocop 2 starring : peter weller and nancy allen directed by : irvin kershner
|
|
detroit is in a more bleak state than it was in the first film .
|
|
ocp is trying to develop an improved 'robocop 2' that will be more than a match for criminals .
|
|
most of the police force is on strike due to ocp taking it over , leaving robocop to be the police force in the city .
|
|
this film is pretty bizaare .
|
|
it has a 13 year-old drug-lord who curses as much as eddie murphy , even more violence than the original , and some more humor .
|
|
the plot of this movie is pretty large , almost too much so .
|
|
there are three or four plot lines weaving around that don't really match up .
|
|
the effects are still decent though .
|
|
this sequel isn't more of the same really , just a darker version robocop dealing more with drugs than with armed criminals .
|
|
if you liked the first one , watch this .
|
|
but be dissapointed .
|
|
so later comes . . .
|
|
robocop 3 starring nancy allen and robert john burke
|
|
ocp is now owned by a large japanese company .
|
|
robocop joins a band of rebels to counter-attack the evil empire , i mean ocp .
|
|
the japanese send a cyborg-ninja to deal with robocop .
|
|
among other things . . .
|
|
this movie is easier to follow than the last one .
|
|
which means the plot isn't quite as crowded .
|
|
this movie isn't anything special though .
|
|
just more of robocop blasting things up in a more kid-friendly way .
|
|
really not reccomended .
