Now for this next film get ready. If you did not grow up watching RoboCop, or have not seen it at all, you missed out on one of the most outstanding films of its time. RoboCop came out in 1987. The film starred Peter Weller and Nancy Allen. It is a futuristic tale of a Detroit Policeman who was murdered by gangbangers. In this futuristic time Detroit has deteriorated into crime, murder, slums, and is run by a major company. Following the murder Alex J. Murphy the company decides to make him into the ultimate crime fighter. They need this project to work in order for the company to regain the city, and make it truly their again.
There are a few tiffs between the number two and number three guys at the company as to the integrity of the project. Plus to make matters worse the number two guy hears the number three guy talking some smack in the bathroom. Much like what happens in the bathrooms of middle schools all across the country. RoboCop takes to the streets and the human part quickly takes over. He seeks out the men who killed him to seek revenge.
Now personally I love this film, and consider it a classic of the 80’s. I know the fact that it was made in the 1980’s will deter many from seeing the film, since in today’s society we have come to love films like Avatar that have amazing graphics as well as quite impressive 3-D. However, RoboCop has everything you could ask for in a film:
• Rambo like music
• An ass-kicking human cyborg hybrid
• Great action scenes
• Sweet one liners
