Joseph J. Lawson directs this action movie in which a technology
firm brings dinosaurs back to life only for them to run riot in Los
Angeles. Paraplegic Justin (Ronny Cox) is the CEO of the company
responsible for the outbreak. Having developed technology that can
regenerate flesh, thereby allowing Justin to walk again, the firm
utilise the same breakthrough to reanimate dinosaurs - only for the
prehistoric creatures to break free from captivity. As fireman Gabe
Jacobs (Treat Williams) endeavours to rescue his daughter Jade
(Jillian Rose Reed) from the ensuing carnage, he becomes caught up
in the struggle to contain the outbreak before it reaches
disastrous proportions.
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.
Eddie Murphy plays fast-talking Detroit cop Axel Foley, whose
regular assignments include tracking down cigarette thieves. When a
friend is killed, he begins an unofficial investigation which leads
him to Beverly Hills, where he runs into trouble with the
straight-laced police force who disapprove of his anarchic methods.
However, with the help of fellow cops Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and
Taggart (John Ashton), he tracks down the killers.

Michael Douglas and Jeremy Irvine star in this thriller directed by
Jean-Baptiste Léonetti. After arriving in town with the hope of
adding some bighorn to his trophy collection, fearsome businessman
John Madec (Douglas) hires accomplished tracker Ben (Irvine) to be
his guide. Although he is initially suspicious of the city man, Ben
accepts Madec's money and takes him out beyond The Reach into the
dangerous wilderness of the Mojave Desert. But after Madec mistakes
a local man for an animal and shoots him dead, Ben decides enough
is enough and attempts to call in the death. Unwilling to let the
incident taint his reputation, Madec turns the tables on his young
guide and orders him to discard his equipment and clothes and head
off into the vast, inhospitable desert where he is sure to die from
exhaustion. As Ben puts his survival skills to the test, Madec
stalks him with his rifle to ensure he doesn't make it out to tell
his story...
