A triple bill of sci-fi cops. The first film, 'Robocop', is set in
the near future and Detroit's soaring crime rate is unsuccessfully
policed by a corporation which plans to build a new city, if its
workers can go about unmolested. When its new 'enforcement droid'
proves unworkable, a murdered cop (Peter Weller) is wired into a
computer-controlled titanium body and set to the task at hand.
Unimpressed, 'Robocop' seeks vengeance on all sides in this violent
but often funny tale. In the second film, 'Robocop 2', a new model,
Robocop 2 (Tom Noonan), is built while Robocop 1 still patrols the
streets of Detroit. Robocop 2 is given a maniac's 'soul', thereby
setting the stage for a showdown between the two computer
constables. Finally, in 'Robocop 3' Robocop is befriended by a
young girl whose parents have been killed, and after his partner is
killed by the head of a private security firm, he joins a group of
rebels to fight back against the evil businessmen. There is a
notable fight sequence between a plastic-like robot Ninja and the
sluggish metal Robocop, which, together with the rebels hiding out
in the derelict General Motors Factory, constitutes a thinly veiled
critique of the Japanese car industry from the heart of Detroit -
the original motor city.
