RoboCop Director's Cut

Director: Paul Verhoeven, Paul Verhoeven

1987 / 102min / DCP

For a strange few years, beginning with this runaway hit, the perverse imagination and earthy humor of Verhoeven seemed to sync up perfectly with the desires of the American multiplex-going public. In dystopian Detroit, private sector Omni Consumer Products have taken over policing and made the ultimate law enforcement machine from leftover bits of peace officer Peter Weller—but they didn’t bank on their invention making his way up the corporate ladder of crime. I’d buy that for a dollar!
