In the not too distant future in Old Detroit crime has got out of control. Enter OCP, a company who have made almost everything profitable, who assume control of the Detroit Police department. In their efforts to eradicate crime they develop the Robocop program, part man, part machine, all cop. Police office Alex Murphy is killed in the line of duty and what remains of his body becomes the prototype. But will that be enough to take down the organised crime of Old Detroit.
Robocop is another film from the ‘80s mini challenge, which now takes me to 3 out of 20. I remember watching Robocop the first time around and recall how violent it was, which was cool. Unfortunately for Robocop it hasn’t quite held up over time, unlike The Terminator which managed to still look futuristic. It’s all about the details really, they managed to imagine a world where they are able to fuse man and machine, but TV’s hadn’t progessed at all. It’s a good film, just not as good as I remember.
