Robocop

Now I will be reviewing 1987's classic "Robocop".  Affectionately  known by the Chinese knock-off toy market as, "Robertcop", the story centers around a slain Detroit cop. After a successful run on Family Ties, Alex P. Murphy has just been transferred to old Detroit because the police keep dying on the job.  Little does anyone know, but Murphy has a very special brain.  After he is shot in head, body, arms, legs, neck, coccyx, chest, thigh, hand, knees, other hand, deltoids, elbows, abdomen, shoulder blades, Xiphoid Process, wee wee, and scrapes his knees, he is brought back to life through the miracle of 1980's technology.  His past slowly begins to come back to him and has to scream a lot to deal with.

So, Should I See It, or roGOcop as far as I can?

This film holds a very special place in my heart, so it's a "See It".  I saw this incredibly violent film at a very young age and it traumatized me a little bit. To this day I have weird dreams with Robocop in them and they're very terrifying.  One time I was Robocop learning how to use my new-found abilities.  So the dream consisted of dying, painful surgeries, and sitting in a classroom.  Just when I started doing cool things I woke up.  But people were cheering for me so that's good.  Robocop balances political sad tire with a social commentary on economic stature.  All while shit gets fucked up.  Also everything in movie costs a dollar I guess.  There's also a part where a guy starts melting because he was exposed to toxic waste.  It's pretty gross and I would not recommend a 7 year old watching it.  It will lead to years of bad dreams.  But if you're not 7 watch this all the time.  Robocop, dead or alive, I'm coming with you.
