Year: 1990
Director: Irvin Kershner
Plot: The serialized story structure and barbed social commentary from comic book creator and co-writer Frank Miller earned critical respect in this satirical science fiction sequel directed by Irvin Kershner. Peter Weller returns as RoboCop, a futuristic cyborg fashioned from cutting-edge technology and the biological remains of slain Detroit police officer, Alex Murphy. Still patrolling the city streets, RoboCop is scheduled by his creator, Omni Consumer Products, to be replaced by a new "superior" model, RoboCop 2, that according to designer Juliette Faxx (Belinda Bauer), will contain the human remains not of a cop but a criminal. In the meantime, an instantly addictive drug called Nuke is sweeping through Detroit thanks to a kingpin named Cain (Tom Noonan). Taking Cain to task, RoboCop is captured and dismantled. When he's put back together, the cyborg is reprogrammed with a series of socially conscious commands (in a sly mocking of the then relatively new concept of "political correctness") that render him impotent as a law enforcer. Taking charge by rewiring himself with an electrical overload, RoboCop arrests Cain, who is injured in the process. Faxx secretly takes Cain's brain and inserts it into RoboCop 2, turning the robot immediately into a law-breaking murder machine and leading to a violent showdown between two generations of robotic crime fighters. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Body: In an earlier Battlefield Earth post, Gus had nominated Robocop 3 on charges of being a Hollywood Lackluster and I thought that I'd start a thread to initiate formal charges against the film. It's hard for me to look past the sequels. so I thought I'd nominate Robocop 1 & 2 as well and let the group determine if these are suspects or witnesses. Gus' argument for a guilty verdict on Robocop 3 - Just when you thought this franchise (if you can call it that) could'nt get any worse, Hollywood shows everyone just how big a turd they can really produce. There are no stars in this. Atleast Travolta, Barry Pepper and Forrest Whitaker were in Battlefield. Not that that helped any. Robocop 3 had a horrendous story, laughable dialogue, piss-poor special effects (nothing "special" about them, they sucked), the worst action scenes, and the acting didn't even measure up to what can be seen in any high school production. Nope,no redeeming factors at all. If you absolutely have to see Robocop, do yourself a favor and watch the original. Frankly, I agree with Gus when it comes to Robocop 3. The film was weak and was only put out to squeeze the last drops of cash out of the franchise. I vote guilty. When it comes to Robocop 2, I also vote guilty of being a Hollywood Lackluster. The plot was laughable, the acting was terrible and the environment of the film was a total joke. As far as Robocop 1 goes, I vote not guilty. That movie rocked. Maybe it was that it seemed so fresh at the time it came out, but the movie was a solid blockbuster in my book. Normally, if I like a film I tend to like the whole series, but when it comes to the Robocop family 2 of the brothers are bad in my book, but one turned out alright. Sometimes people just don't know when to quit.
