I’ve always had a special place for Robocop in my heart. The gooey explosion of bad guy is just classic. Watching ED-209 malfunction in the board room is brutal. Love the commercials; the SUX and the ever popular “I”d buy that for a dollar!” It’s a flick I’ve always got time to sit down and watch.

I saw “Robocop” in the theater back in 87 and it blew me away. Only years later did I get the biting satire that Verhoven would re-implant in “Starship Troopers” and “Total Recall.” They involve tales of heroism in neo-fascist, self-destructive societies; something that Verhoven knows a lot about growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland. What I like so much about his action movies is how they challenge us to root for protagonists that aren’t really good guys. They are violent tools of the fascist society. We only root for them because the other bad guys are worse. Being a huge fan of the anti-hero, I can dig it. What I can’t condone is Robocop shooting guys in the dick. That’s just not cool. NOT COOL!
