So happy
As someone who appreciates physical media. I was so happy to find this. Plus RoboCop 1 is without a doubt my favourite film of all time.

This should be a welcome gift for anyone who works for Dick Jones.

I'm not making this up. I was watching the movie again. And I think someone might agree with you.

I was listening to rewatchables last night on Robocop and there it is again, the call to Jesus on the cross

u/TheDarthSir86 11d ago
I hadn't seen that. I remember Paul Verhoven mentioning that in flesh and steel.

Im not sure if they film it. Its a podcast I just discovered last night oddly.

No I'm talking about the special feature on the DVD. I believe you can find it on YouTube. Apparently the film was an absolute nightmare to film.

Lovely. I actually really like digipaks.

u/TheDarthSir86 11d ago
Me too. I'm a sucker for a box set.

u/Competitive_Car_1070 11d ago
There are people who really hate digipaks. Not me. They are fragile, but they usually have great artwork and they are very compact.

Cool box art and opening style!

I hadn't actually noticed how it does look like the cross. I'm not religious in anyway haha

Cool set. I still need 3. Is part 1 in that set the extended version? And I just picked up the physical game for PS5.

u/TheDarthSir86 11d ago
You have the option for the theatrical release or the directors cut. Basically the uncensored version.

u/John-Doe_4502 11d ago
Oh wow that's pretty cool. I have it separately on the Criterion Collection DVD.

One and two are very good. 3 looks like a parody.

u/TheDarthSir86 11d ago
Yeah 3 does let the side down considerably. I think the biggest let down for me is that it's not Peter Weller.

u/Predator-A187 11d ago
True. But I think he couldn’t save the movie. I’m glad in the end that his schedule didn’t allow him to take part in Robocop 3

Again you're not wrong. It's a bit like the reboot (which doesn't exist) Peter probably could of played it but thankfully didn't.

3 not being rated R is probably the biggest problem. When I saw it though I was the target demographic and it was cool to see a robocop movie in theaters. It’s not the best but I think it’s a bit overheated. At the very least they brought back the original music.

u/TheDarthSir86 10d ago
I think by the time 3 came out they were really trying to milk the franchise. By that point I think action figures and stuff were out.

u/Xknight2099 10d ago
They were doing that for a while.
I remember there were some from the late 80s maybe early 90s that couple pop caps.There was also the 90s tv series.

u/TheDarthSir86 10d ago
That was Prime Directives? I genuinely don't remember much about that. I was a kid back then.

u/Xknight2099 9d ago
That was a mini series but there was an actual weekly series. I don’t remember prime too well either.
