Advantages: Characters, Intelligence, Humour, Plot.S Disadvantages: Stop-Start Animation is a little dated by today's standards.
...genre. Along with The Terminator, Robocop is considered to be one of the most definitive movies of Cyberpunk, a subgenre of Science Fiction; an exploration of man with machine. Paul Verhoeven's film is brutally violent, funny, and thought provocative. A classic. It's a scary thought living in the future. "Old Detroit", as it's called, is all about Capitalism and the media, with little regard for the people's lives. The Police Department has become ... ...authorities didn't count on was Robocop regaining memories from his previous life. Going beyond the confines of his programming, he begins hunting down the gang of drug dealers responsible for his brutal execution, as well as bringing justice to the greedy company bosses that created him. And that is indeed one of the main points of the film: the proclaimed "Robocop" appears more humane than a majority of the big company bosses do; forcing us, the ...

ROBOCOP TRILOGY DVD
-------------------
Back in the late 1980's we finally saw a change in the way robot movies were made.
Up until this time Robots were mostly just men dressed in silver painted cardboard boxes, and they were nearly always the enemies.
Well that was about to change with Paul Verhoeven's vision of near future Detroit
These films were a dream for toy manufacturers everywhere, as soon as you'd seen Robocop or ED-209, you knew ... ...some nice detailed pictures of Robocop and ED-209 pasted all over it.
Each movie comes on its own dvd, although only the first one offers any decent extra's.
--ROBOCOP 1--
Peter Weller plays Alex Murphy, a street cop, that has been relocated to the old Detroit area.
This area is soon to be demolished and replaced by some nice shiny new buildings, the problem is that the area has become infested with crime.

Screw you Benny!!!
Advantages: Total Recall Disadvantages: Red Sonja
...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ... ...to skip.
Raw Deal
Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja
This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ...
