Arrow Films
RoboCop, from Orion Pictures, marked Flesh + Blood director Paul Verhoeven's Hollywood debut and instantly became an enduring sci-fi/action classic when it landed in theaters in the summer of 1987. Verhoeven's peerlessly exciting and kinetic visuals were matched by a sharp script, iconic cast and exceptional special effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing) and Phil Tippett (The Empire Strikes Back).
The film takes place in Detroit in the not-too-distant future. Heroic cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) is gunned down in the line of duty, only to be resurrected as RoboCop - a cybernetic mix of spare human parts and Motor City steel, and the latest defense against crime designed by the all-powerful OCP Corporation. As RoboCop's memories of his former life as Murphy resurface, only his ex-partner (Nancy Allen, Dressed To Kill) stands beside him to fight against the vicious thugs responsible for his death, as well as a nefarious top-level OCP executive orchestrating the chaos from above.
Unsurpassably thrilling, unexpectedly moving and unforgettably hilarious in equal measure, the future of law enforcement is back on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray in a restored Director's Cut, packed with hours of brand new bonus features.

One of my favorite sci-fi action films of all time. Arrow has done an amazing job with the 4K transfer. It looks and sounds perfect on a big screen. If you're a fan of RoboCop, this is the ultimate edition to have. Highly recommended!

Love it or hate it – and I think you’ll find very few detractors – Robocop was new, fresh and anarchic. Robocop is the sort of no nonsense film that I miss. This was one of the classic films of the 80s. A decade that wasn’t afraid to have violence, sex and profanity in cinema, they were all part of the mix. I long to once again see the sort of 80s films of excess at the cinema. The directors that were fearless, the likes of Brian De Palma (Carlito’s Way), Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers, Total Recall), Sam Raimi (Darkman, The Evil Dead), John McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) and even a pre-sanitised James Cameron (Aliens, The Terminator) they were the type of director not afraid of making a film for adults with adult themes and language and violence to match. I long for the days of the 80s when films like Robocop, Darkman, Aliens, Total Recall, Predator and Terminator ramped up the adult content. Those films were all 18 rated with blood, guns, violence, swearing and sex. I love watching those films even now, they’ve hardly aged and they take you back to a day when writers and directors seemed to have some sort of devil-may-care attitude to cinema. Forgotten were the more timid films of the earlier years of cinema in the 50s and 60s. It was a golden age of cinema before, in the late 90s, everything became much more sanitised again and all the weaker for it. The cinema of the 80s belonged to adults now the cinema belongs to kids again watching popcorn, tween-friendly, sappy junk. Robocop is maxed out on swearing and violence – just look at the brutal scene where pre-Robocop Murphy is cruelly and cold-heartedly fatally attacked by Clarence Boddicker’s gang of mercenary, merciless thugs. It’ll have you cringing and squirming in your seat, regardless of how many times you might have seen it before. But then at other times Robocop has its tongue in its cheek with some clever humour even including sleazy mock adverts with the catchphrase: “I’d buy that for a dollar” and pitch-perfect pitch-black humour. Robocop is a true classic and a true product of the times. We’ll never see the likes of it again.

One of the best 4k blu ray restorations I’ve ever watched. Image is crisp, great tone mapping and audio is awesome. I enjoyed as much as I did years ago, but with a feeling of watching a newly filmed movie, not from the 80s. Congrats to Arrow for such a great job
