A Quick Tip by RabidChihuahua

This film just turned 25 years-old!! Simply put, this is a classic sci-fi/action film. Some may complain that the vision of a near future Detroit and the movements of the ED-209 are dated, but they barely deter the quality of the movie itself. The action scenes in Robocop are top-notch, the characters are well-developed and memorable, and Alex Murphy's "death and resurrection" in the film was really engaging, to say the least. … more

A mega city that is set to bring Detroit into the … more

Good Action Film of the Future!

Along with the Terminator this was the best scifi action film to come out during the 1980's. Though Peter Weller didn't become a household name, he does an excellent job as a murdered police officer, who is resurrected as a type of cyborg programmed to fight crime. As "Robocop" he dispenses justice with computer controlled pinpoint shooting accuracy. There is a lot of camp (some of it is extremely funny) which does nothing to diminish the serious drama of the film. Nancy Allen … more
