Robocop
1987
*****
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Cast: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ron Cox, Curtwood Smith, Daniel O’Herlihy
An extremely violent but highly original and irresistibly entertaining science fiction juggernaut about a wounded policeman who is rebuilt into a cyborg supercop. Paul Verhoeven’s best film has no redundant quiet lulls. Followed by RoboCop 2 and 3.
