Third installment about the mechanical super cop who has to
defend Detroit from an evil corporation which wants to level it.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A lot of gun fights, with very high body counts. Several
scenes depict people being killed in groups of four or five at a time: a police woman is
killed, a man commits suicide by jumping from a tall building -- we hear the splat on the
pavement -- and another by gun; a man is killed by a harpoon being forced through his
chest -- it's gross, but little blood is shown. RoboCop catches on fire and we see his
burned face with his helmet off; an evil RoboCop readjusts his dislocated jaw. An evil
RoboCop breaks a man's neck with his bare hands, complete with sound effects. And, there
are the requisite car chases and explosions, usually ending with injuries and death.
PROFANITY 4 - A couple of dozen scatological terms and assorted cursing. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - War, poverty, child abandonment, corporate corruption.
MESSAGE - Stand up and fight for what you believe in; good will triumph over
evil.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
