Bad boy films!! Always wondered why they didn't just shoot him in the mouth though.

Pretty much all Paul Verhoeven stuff really. Total Recall is great, Phillip K. Dick with a Verhoeven edge.
Speaking of Black Swan/Showgirls, Darren Aronofsky was supposed to do the Robocop remake but backed out when he refused to make it 3D. I can't blame him, but that was the only reason I was kind of looking forward to seeing the remake. I think he could have done a good job. I think they are going ahead with the 3D remake but with a new crew. http://www.avclub.com/articles/robocop- ... app,53023/

This deserves to be in every Robocop thread:

Robocop is brilliant. The murder scene is one of most horrendous I've ever seen in a film though.

For those who haven't realised, this is where Boddika got his name.

Way ahead of it's time, set in Detroit, it's actually a fairly intelligent film with an undercurrent of
pathos and sadness. And of course, loads of explosions and awesome hardware.

As mentioned before it has shades of Phillip K Dick and Asimov.

The two follow up's were a bit of a miss really, the third one is rubbish.

Yeah, recently bought the box set- needent have bothered though as its all about the first one (although 2 does have a few good bits)......and the series isn't worth watching at all- just an advert to sell more robocop toys.

The original is a good story with great dialogue and action and tongue in cheek comedy and well over the top almost cartoon swearing and violence (especially for when it was made).

Lovce the first one, but the second one with NUKE and all that is hilarious.. the third part has the best vocal sample for a drop Ive ever heard ..

I like the sequels, they aren't great but there's a charm to them I think. The Japanese robot assassin and flying robocop make for some laughs, and Cain is a bad fucker... plus that stupid kid haha.
