Product Description
From Amazon.com
Early on in Robocop 3, an action figure of our metal hero on the nightstand in a little girl's room informs us that he's now become a children's toy. The image is right on the money; despite following up two of the most violent, hilarious sci-fi/action films ever made, Robocop 3 is strictly for the kiddies. It's not just that the gore has been toned down considerably to make for a PG-13 rating; also excised is the straight-faced portrait of a world run by corporate fascism. When evil corporation OCP, and its even more evil Japanese parent company, plan to raze a Detroit neighborhood to put up the shining new Delta City, the residents (including the aforementioned adolescent, who conveniently happens to be a computer expert) gang up to fight back, just like the angry neighbors in Death Wish V. Robocop (played this time out by Robert John Burke, Peter Weller having wisely passed) could be a hindrance to the companies' plans, so a ninja android is sent in to deal with him. Even all this could have been enjoyable, in a campy sort of way, but nothing pays off as either comedy or action--tellingly, the two big showdowns with the ninja start exhilaratingly (Robocop's clunky movements hilariously counterpoised by the android's acrobatic leaps), only to end just when they're getting good. Director Fred Dekker has some nice stylistic touches scattered about, but not nearly enough to save the film. One high note, though: The animated "Johnny Rehab" spot may be the funniest ad in the whole series. --Bruce Reid

4.0 out of 5 stars
nearly as good as the original and a lot of fun too(3.5/5),
By
This review is from: Robocop 3 (Widescreen) (DVD)
i'm gonna disagree with many of the reviewers on this site about this movie.to me,"RoboCop 3" is the second best film in the series,right after the first one.first off,i thought the story was interesting,and even unpredictable at times.i also felt it had some depth to it.i think there was a perfect mix of action,drama,and humour.this movie is very funny at times,i believe intentionally.this is the most fun movie of the series.this film is less violent than the previous 2,but there's still plenty of explosions and car chases,which i thought were pretty exciting.the special effects in this movie were very well done,also.for me,the series redeems itself with this installment.i give "RoboCop 3" 3.5/5

It's amazing how BAD THIS MOVIE IS!,
By CyborgDude "Dude" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robocop 3 (VHS Tape)
Just stick with Robocop 1 and 2. That's all. This movie has to be one of the biggest let downs ever! It's not even rated R like the other two. This one's PG-13! WTF! whatever happened to the violent society that the Robocop movies take place in! Robocop flies on a jet pack in this movie okay, it's horrible. The villians in this movie aren't frightening like the villians were in the other movie ie: Clarence and his gang, Cain. Peter Weller doesn't even return as Robocop in this movie. It's some other guy. You'll watch it once and never want to watch it again.

Great DVD set!,

This review is from: Robocop 3 (DVD)
I watched Robocop a long time ago and loved it. Watching it again now is even better. What a great movie!!! There was so much in it that I didn't pick up when I was a teenager, but now, watching it from a man's prospective, it's a totally different experience. I really get sucked into it!The version of Robocop in this set is the "un-rated" version. Some of the scenes are extremely grusome. A lot more grusome than they were in the "R" rated version. (After seeing these scenes, I actually thought twice about eating red meat.) I would definitely keep kids away from watching it. Robocop 3 on the other hand (rated PG-13), is very strangely more family oriented. A lot less violent, with no use of the "F" bomb. Not as good as the other two movies, but it has it's moments. If you remember and liked the Robocop movies (especially the first one), this set is worth picking up. The movies were ahead of there time and have aged very well. A "must have" DVD set for me, and maybe for you too!
