Peter Weller bailed out from RoboCop 3 and in this film, Nancy Allen soon follows.What is worse you have to wait for ages for Robert John Burke to show up as RoboCop. He sides with the down and outs of Detroit City who are being moved on by the Urban Rehabilitation Officers hired by the evil corporation, Omni who want to clear the slums and build new skyscrapers.Angry at RoboCop's actions, the villain McDaggett (John Castle) hires robot ninjas to take him out and Omni smear RoboCop as having gone rogue.The original Robocop directed by Paul Verhoeven was an ultraviolent satirical classic with black humour and an anti corporate stance.This is a poor film lacking any subtext of the original but just cashing in on its success. The effects look cheap and the script is third rate.

For Sequel Month, we're unfortunately looking at what is regarded as one of the worst sequels ever made. I confess to not watching "Robocop 2", but I really have no interest in that, given how the original's a classic. The basic plot is that Robocop joins a resistance against an organization of corrupt cops trying to take over Detroit. The premise is too basic and pretty flimsy. The effects look pretty off sometimes too. It expands little on the mythos of the franchise and mostly just reprises stuff from the original.As bad as this can get, I didn't think it was terrible. It doesn't really ruin anything about the character or the setting. I didn't find the characters to be too stupid or anything. It's just nothing special at all. It didn't make me mad or make me feel insulted or anything. It's just another one of the many pointless sequels out there trying to cash in on the success of the original. **

I'm shocked with the amount of flack this film has received. Just because the violence was toned down, doesn't necessarily make this film a bad one. Okay, the plot may have been a bit lame, but it was still a good film nonetheless. I don't know why, but I gotten the impression that the film was targeted towards a more younger audience since the first two films were clearly adult films, and if that was their original goal then they've succeeded. I actually think the third instalment was much better than the second instalment of this RoboCop franchise series. I was actually disappointed with the death of Lois in this movie, and that wasn't required. What makes RoboCop 3 unique compared to the other RoboCop films is the fact that what this film contains can't be found in these other films – you need to see it to believe it.

*While laughing* *What the hell?* lol. What did I just watch? XDOK, all seriousness now, although this film does have an interesting story but how the film was executed is terrible. Quite simply you've got Japanese ninja cyborgs making funny faces, RoboCop allowing himself to get attacked like a rag doll and a kid that has a super computer that can hack into all sorts of high tech stuff, jeez. I do vaguely remember seeing this film years ago back when the film was new to rent on VHS but back then I didn't know the film was this bad, don't get me wrong the only thing this film got right was the story but one other sad thing about this film is that the violence in the film was drastically toned down and with the such elements I've previously mentioned, all of it made the film look silly and it is no wonder they never made another RoboCop film after that until the 2014 remake but I don't consider that one a real RoboCop film. Had the film been in better hands and retained itself as an R rated property then this could have been a great film but it just wasn't, instead it's quite possibly one of the worst movie sequels ever. This film was pretty much the death of the real RoboCop, what a real shame. :(
