There's a new law enforcer in town and he's half man, half machine! From the director of Total Recall and Basic Instinct comes a "sci-fi fantasy with sleek, high-powered drive" (Time) about an indestructible high-tech policeman who dishes out justice at every turn! When a good cop (Peter Weller) gets blown away by some ruthless criminals, innovative scientists and doctors are able to piece him back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg called "Robocop." Impervious to bullets and bombs, and equipped with high-tech weaponry, Robocop quickly makes a name for himself by cleaning up the crime-ridden streets of violence-ravaged Detroit. When it arrived on the big screen in 1987, Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop was like a high-voltage jolt of electricity, blending satire, thrills, and abundant violence with such energized gusto that audiences couldn't help feeling stunned and amazed. The movie was a huge hit, and has since earned enduring cult status as one of the seminal science fiction films of the 1980s. Followed by two sequels, a TV series, and countless novels and comic books, this original RoboCop is still the best by far, largely due to the audacity and unbridled bloodlust of director Verhoeven. However, the reasons many enjoyed the film are also the reasons some will surely wish to avoid it. Critic Pauline Kael called the movie a dubious example of "gallows pulp," and there's no denying that its view of mankind is bleak, depraved, and graphically violent. In the Detroit of the near future, a policeman (Peter Weller) is brutally gunned down by drug-dealing thugs and left for dead, but he survives (half of him, at least) and is integrated with state-of-the-art technology to become a half-robotic cop of the future, designed to revolutionize law enforcement. As RoboCop holds tight to his last remaining shred of humanity, he relentlessly pursues the criminals who "killed" him. All the while, Verhoeven (from a script by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner) injects this high-intensity tale with wickedly pointed humor and satire aimed at the men and media who cover a city out of control. Set Contains: Special Features: Hardcore Robocop devotees should note two important facts about this double-disc edition: Both the original theatrical cut and the unrated director's version are presented here, and that a substantial portion of the supplemental features on the Collector's Edition have been culled from previous DVD releases of Robocop. Most notable among the recycled features are the commentary by director Paul Verhoeven, scripter Ed Neumeier and producer Jon Davidson, as well as "Flesh and Steel," the making-of documentary, two featurettes from 1987, four (very brief) deleted scenes, and the theatrical trailer and TV spot. But for those who haven't seen them, the commentary remains particularly informative and entertaining, especially due to Verhoeven's contribution; the Dutch director made his English-language debut with Robocop, and the process of working in the Hollywood system and with the ultra-violent script resulted in some extreme physical reactions on his part. "Flesh and Steel" is also a worthwhile viewing, mainly for the details from the filmmakers about the project's labor pains and clashes with the MPAA over violence, as is stop-motion animator Phil Tippett's discussion of the ED-209's rampage in the boardroom, which plays in slow-motion and with the accompaniment of the original storyboards. The new material comes in the set's second disc, and it's all terrific stuff. "Villains of Old Detroit" focuses on the film's memorable antagonists, and includes some hilarious remembrances from Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, Ray Wise, and the scene-stealing Miguel Ferrer about their antics on and off screen. "Special Effects: Then and Now" is naturally devoted to Robocop's extensive visual and stop-motion effects, with a special nod to the lost art of matte painting. And "Robocop: Creating a Legend" offers talks with Peter Weller, Verhoeven, and special effects designer Rob Bottin about the physical aspects of the character, from movement and motivation to its signature body armor.
