Part Man, Part Machine, All Cop.
RoboCop, from Orion Pictures, marked director Paul Verhoeven's (Flesh + Blood) 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 in a definitive 4K UHD Blu-ray presentation packed with hours of brand new bonus features and exclusive collectable packaging.

Robocop 4k
Bought as a gift for my fiancé as it’s his favourite film. He loved it. Said the quality is outstanding. Sound is terrific and the additional content is really good. He gives it 10/10

I’d buy that for a Dollar
I’ve owned the Japanese Director’s cut DVD release for years but just couldn’t pass this up now it’s available on 4K. I’m pleased to say it was worth holding out for a release like this as it’s the best it’s ever looked. This is my first Arrow Films purchase and certainly won’t be my last.

Another excellent arrow release
Arrow have done it again, a small well contained box with a nice set of cards, poster and book with loads of information in it, as a fan for years I still learnt new things reading the accompanying booklet. The film comes in two versions the directors and theatrical release, which is mainly about violence cuts, no narrative changes. The remaster to 4K is well done except on some of the added scenes where there is a noticeable drop which I would say is down to the source material. They have also done a Dolby atmos track which can’t have been easy. While it does sound very good, don’t expect the uppers to be that active. A clean well presented collators piece that I am happy to add to my arrow collection.

(Not so) Special Features, (Not so) Limited Edition
Like with many 4K releases nowadays. You get nothing new for special features. Compare this with the Limited Blu-Ray edition and You will find nothing has altered apart from getting a 4K Disc. Arrow has a cheek to call this Limited edition, when this edition has been previously released. 4K does not alter this fact. Agree?

Recycle old editions?
This Edition, just like American werewolf in London, has been release previously on Blu-Ray. You would think Arrow would differentiate between the Blu-Ray and 4K edition. If You previously have purchased the Blu-Ray edition, I would advise waiting for the standard 4K release of this title. Do not encourage this type of laziness. Agree?
