The brains of the (dead) justice police are equipped with mechanical armor, and a new city hero is born. Of course, this idea may have borrowed from "Iron Man", and the shape may have imitated "Terminator", but as one of the few Hollywood movies that entered China in the late 1980s, this film still left a deep impression on many post-80s generation impression.
The story is quite satisfactory, the good people are miserable enough, the bad people are bad enough, violent enough and bloody enough, and finally justice triumphs over evil. The film also has a certain depth. For example, Robocop is still called Murphy, implying that the brain is the key to a person’s identity; news advertisements are interspersed from time to time, reflecting the director’s concerns and irony about the era of excess information technology; big companies control the government and even cities , is an anti-monopoly and anti-elite manifesto.
But the female protagonist has no looks and is not sexy, which is a flaw; the male protagonist's relationship with his family is dead, which is a weakness; the villains are too weak to fight, which is a failure.
The film is director Paul Verhoeven's debut. After an instant hit, sequels, TV, anime, games, and toys followed one after another, and it was considered a smash hit.
