RoboCop Series

This action film was released in 87 starring Weller (Screamers). He was an action hero of shorts at the time. He plays a cop who is injured in a future crime ridden Detroit. The company that owns him makes him into a cyborg of sorts. They take all his memories and tell his family that he died. His memories start to come back to him, and by the end of the movie he has solved his murder and become united with his family. HIs partner in this is a women (Allen from Carrie). All in all, I say: SEE IT - but remember this was futuristic for the 80s. I loved this movie when it came out.



Kinnaman (The Killing) is a cop who is attempting to capture a dangerous criminal in Detroit. Oldman (The Professional) is a doctor who has been asked to combine organic material with robotic material. Keaton (Toy Story 3) is the head of a corporation that is using the doctor's research to get America to buy his robots and make money. Cornish (Sucker Punch) is the cop's wife. Haley (Watchmen) is a military man in charge of the robots once they are completed and street ready. Williams (The Wire) is the cop's partner. Ehle (Pride & Prejudice) is part of the corporation. Baruchel (Million Dollar Baby) adds some comedy to this dramatic film. Jean-Baptiste (The Cell) is the chief of police. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) is a tv media mogul. Garcia (Dexter) is a doctor, too. It is a decent remake and it is more human than the original. The plot is slightly different - the cop keeps his memories in this. All in all, I say: RENT IT when it comes out.

Released in 1990 - this sequel Weller is still working as a cop. A new company has tried to make more robots to help end crime in the city, but creates an almost indestructible creature. A new drug is introduced into the population causing deaths, and Robocop has over a more powerful opponent. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you plan on seeing all three and the remake in which case I say: SEE IT

 This was released 3 years after the sequel. Weller did not participate in this - I think it went straight to video in Georgia, but I can't remember. Allen appears in this. Robocop turns on some developers that have bribed government officials want to move a bunch of citizens off their land. If I remember correctly. This should not have been made. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
