robocop trilogy blu-ray - £9.00 instore @ ASDA
Robocop (Dir. Paul Verhoeven, 1987): He's RoboCop. And in the near future, he's law enforcement's only hope. A sadistic crime wave is sweeping across America. In Old Detroit, the situation is so bad a private corporation, Security Concepts, Inc., has assumed control of the police force. The executives at the company think they have the answer - until the enforcement droid they create kills one of their own. Then an ambitious young executive seizes the opportunity. He and his research team create a law enforcement cyborg from the body of a slain officer. All goes well at first. Robocop stops every sleazeball he encounters with deadly, piercing, and sometimes gruesome accuracy. But there are forces on the street, and within Security Concepts itself, that will stop at nothing to see this super cyborg violently eliminated. Prepare yourself for non-stop action and adventure in one of the most explosive sci-fi stories you'll ever witness: Robocop.
Robocop 2 (Dir. Irvin Kerschner, 1990): The sizzling sequel to 1987's sci-fi blockbuster brings back "The Future of Law Enforcement," RoboCop, to face his greatest challenge ever! Peter Weller returns as the half man/half machine police officer, this time to rid the lawless streets of Detroit of the deadly new designer drug "Nuke." Unknown to RoboCop, the evil corporate empire which created him wants to take the city "private," and develop RoboCop 2, a newer, bigger and more powerful version to replace the original. The script was - in part - written by comic-book genius, Frank Miller (Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns).
Robocop 3 (Dir. Fred Dekker, 1993): Omni Consumer Products (OCP), the conglomerate that designed RoboCop now owns Detroit. The company plans to demolish one of the city's largest neighborhoods to build a gleaming city of the future-after an army of ruthless mercenaries finishes throwing everyone out of their homes. But RoboCop, sworn to protect the public, joins forces with a band of urban freedom fighters battling to save their neighborhood. After battling a lethally efficient ninja android, and equipped with a new arsenal of hi-tech weaponry, RoboCop and the courageous residents take on OCP's private army. It's all-out war, an explosive street fight that could destroy either the entire city or the evil powers behind the brutal corporate raid.

Lol, I think you mean "Bobby".
"Mind if I zip this up?"
yes it is likely to be better the dvd quality but do you really want to be paying for the film twice?
The problem with boxset's is that you can never just ignore one disc!

Oh yeah. Been a while since I've seen it :)
I'm a big fan of both 1 and 2, and bought this trilogy lately. The transfer is reasonable on both - a step up from the DVDs, but it's definitely not a showcase transfer.
And as you'd expect, the effects on ED209 look completely ridiculous now, bless 'im.
(Can't comment on the audio aspects - I'm no audiophile and haven't a good set up for it.)
I didn't watch the third. Of course.
Ordinarily I'd be with you on that - I'll always watch the weak films in a series. I make an exception with this and The Godfather, though (and often stop after the first two Alien films, too).
There were loads of good ideas that were made into rubbish films back then. Why don't they just take those ones and make them good rather than trying to improve on classics?
They could start with 'Morons from Outer Space' which had just one laugh...actually, that is probably nor redeemable!:D

That wasn't even the best one. The SNES version of Robo3 was truly dire. It was a shoot em' up/platformer, but Robocop moved exactly like he did in the films - extremely sluggishly, which made platforming sections nigh on impossible.
