The guy screaming while ripping off his own head traumatized the fuck out of me when I was 5. These 80s movies were hardcore.

    There is, and it's not completely terrible (but not a patch on the original). A bit 90s era "Winners don't do drugs" preachiness, but it is from the director of The Empire Strikes Back, so at least it's competent.

    Robocop 3 on the other hand... How the fuck do you make a robot ninja boring?

    There was a bunch of made for TV, straight to bargain bin drek as well. Can't even be bothered to look up the name of it.

    Wait, what? There's Robocop 3 too!? WTH? Where the hell did I live in the past 2 decades? Is this a simulation or something?

    Anw, what's your opinion on the reboot version?

    The film was followed by a number of sequels and spin-offs; two theatrical sequels, 1990's RoboCop 2 and 1993's RoboCop 3, the latter of which replaced Weller with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Robert John Burke; two Canadian-produced live-action TV series, 1994's RoboCop and 2001's RoboCop: Prime Directives; and, despite the extremely R-rated nature of the first RoboCop, two kid-aimed cartoon series, 1988's RoboCop and 1998's RoboCop: Alpha Commando. The franchise has also produced a number of comic books, action figures, and video games. None of them captured the verve, or the success, of Verhoeven's original film.

    oh and Amazon is rebooting it again!
