Get this fully-loaded fan-pleasing Blu-ray now! "YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY." - BOTTOM LINE: One of the greatest sci-fi/action/drama mash-ups EVER made, from ANY decade. This, the original ROBOCOP, is by far the best version to ever roll off the OCP assembly line; superior in most every aspect to its many sequels, offshoots & remakes. And this fantastic Blu-ray offering from Arrow Video is equally superior to all previous home video editions. Toss any inferior versions you have onto the scrap pile now and pony up for this super-deluxe 2-disc Arrow Blu. 5 STARS THOUGHTS: Such an important touchstone and ground breaker of a film that many are still attempting to emulate its visual & visceral esthetic, more than 30 years later. A movie that not only entertained as a terrific piece of science fiction but also fully delivered as an over-the-top action movie, too. And yet what has helped it remain relevant all these years later is the story behind the hero's humanity, his loss of it & subsequent struggle to reclaim it, which still resonates with audiences who probably were never expecting to be moved in such a way by a film of this type. A true case of capturing lightning in a bottle, ROBOCOP managed to hit all the right notes, from beginning to end: writing, directing, casting, acting, music, production design, visual & practical effects, editing, sound design... everything. THE BLU-RAY: A superlative 2-disc release from Arrow Video, it gives us what is likely the best home video presentation yet. This set offers both the original theatrical cut of the film, as well as the longer Director's Cut. Both versions offer sharp focus, faithful color reproduction, strong sound replication and a wealth of excellent bonus features geared towards the hardcore fanbase of the film. No artifacting, edge enhancement, pixelation, crush or other video uglies to sour your enjoyment of whichever cut you prefer. In short, if you've been hedging on whether to buy a copy of the film yourself, OR if you've been considering upgrading to Blu-ray if you only have the film on DVD or VHS, then THIS is the edition to buy. You won't be disappointed. Highly, highly recommended. Review: Highly involving 80s classic - ROBOCOP is one of those rare movies that is a fusion of elements of many different films that work to great effect in one film. A mixture of science fiction, action, drama, police procedural (and maybe even a bit of horror), ROBOCOP is a brilliant satire that is still relevant as both a film and social commentary even today. Telling the story of Officer Alex J. Murphy (excellently played by Peter Weller), who is mercilessly gunned down by a band of criminals led by Clarence Boddicker (effortlessly played by Kurtwood Smith), Murphy's body is transformed into Robocop as part of Detroit-based corporation OCP's contract with the city to help fight crime (and earn OCP a hefty profit in the process). The Robocop program is run by Bob Morton (slick performance by Miguel Ferrer), an ambitious VP within the company's ranks. Morton was given the go-ahead when the ED-209 program fell through. ED-209 was the project of senior VP Dick Jones (played with cold-hearted brio by Ronny Cox). Weller (as the film's hero) and Cox, Ferrer,Smith (as it's villains) truly drive this film with their convincing performances and help make this film a classic. Nancy Allen (as Murphy's partner Anne Lewis) also does fine work and adds to the films' value. This is director Paul Verhoeven's best film and it's not really even close! Somehow, by virture of who knows what, Verhoeven has managed to make an eternally watchable, involving, and provocative sci-fi action classic out of the most simple of stories and even with it's fast pace, ROBOCOP has these moments of genuine humanity where the viewer both sympathizes with Murphy's fate and is awed by the sheer power of Robocop. The action scenes are crisp and fluid, the dialogue is sharp and cutting, and the story just plain draws the viewer in. Made in the 80s (came out in 1987), of course it has a somewhat dated look at times, but I even think this can be overlooked as it is set in an undisclosed not-too-distant future, kind of a skewed vision of a decaying economy with dilapidated city settings and criminal activity at an all time high. Director Paul Verhoeven does a great job of focusing primarily on action and character and not so much on technological aspects. Even in those scenes, the viewer finds oneself so invested in the characters and plot that you ignore rather minor details. As I said, ROBOCOP is so engrossing, that it remains universally appealing. This 20th anniversary dvd is just the way I fondly remember the film when I first saw it in it's intended uncut form back in the late 80s. Highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Arne Schmidt, Calvin Jung, Daniel O'Herlihy, Del Zamora, Edward Edwards, Edward Neumeier, Felton Perry, Jesse Goins, Kurtwood Smith, Lee DeBroux, Mark Carlton, Michael Gregory, Michael Miner, Miguel Ferrer, Nancy Allen, Paul McCrane, Paul Verhoeven, Peter Weller, Ray Wise, Rick Lieberman, Robert DoQui, Ronny Cox Contributor Arne Schmidt, Calvin Jung, Daniel O'Herlihy, Del Zamora, Edward Edwards, Edward Neumeier, Felton Perry, Jesse Goins, Kurtwood Smith, Lee DeBroux, Mark Carlton, Michael Gregory, Michael Miner, Miguel Ferrer, Nancy Allen, Paul McCrane, Paul Verhoeven, Peter Weller, Ray Wise, Rick Lieberman, Robert DoQui, Ronny Cox See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,100 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Blu-ray, DTS Surround Sound, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Action & Adventure | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 43 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Blu-ray, DTS Surround Sound, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Action & Adventure - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 43 minutes ## Images ![RoboCop (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jlXQDqp5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't wait!

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Movie *by R***. on February 13, 2020* Robocop is one of those fun sci-fi/action movies that's a lot of fun for mature adults. There are a couple of scenes, however, that are quite violent and grisly, while many "F-bombs" and other expletives pepper the entire movie, so maybe younger children should be kept away. In a not-too-distant dystopian future, the huge Omni Consumer Products corporation (OCP) is contracted to run the Detroit police department, which is struggling with rampant crime. What OCP needs are police officers that are indestructible, so they study the possibility of building robots to replace human police officers. When Officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is all but killed in the line of duty, OCP decides to salvage his brain and a few other body parts and combine them with a robotic body to create a cyborg policeman. Murphy, it turns out, has the temperament required to live as a cyborg. OCP also builds another gigantic and purely robotic machine, "ED 209" (Enforcement Droid 209) with devastating firepower, and markets it as an improved, "urban pacification" police robot. OCP's actual intention is to sell ED 209s to the military as super soldiers, but first, ED 209 has to prove itself capable of "pacifying" Detroit. Robocop Murphy goes after the man who killed him, a drug and criminal kingpin, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith), “unofficial crime boss of old Detroit,” who's in cahoots with Dick Jones (Ronny Cox), Senior President of OCP. Since Murphy proves to be a "one-off" (impossible to duplicate) success, OCP upper management wants to kill him off. This is so the military will forget about him and instead consider buying Ed 209s as battlefield soldier droids (a contract worth billions). Eventually, Robocop and an ED 209 have an epic showdown inside the top executive floor of OCP tower. Bullets and missiles fly profusely and indiscriminately. Robocop is a thoughtful, multifaceted sci-fi/action film that feels like it could actually happen thirty or forty years in the future. I would rate it as one of the best and most influential sci-fi/action films of the 1980s, although it is actually a successful movie franchise that continues up to 2014.
