i'd actually love to sea remake, as to the casting though i have no ideas, anyone?
kill RoboCop off?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(apart from the end i liked it)
I definately want to see the sequel Verhoeven was talking about a couple of years ago.
well with Superman we saw a new Sequel, and it did not do so well.
With Batman we saw a new Start and it did well.
Still with Robocop I think a new start would never touch how good the first movie was. I would go with the new sequel, and just pretend that Robo 3 did not happen
You can't do the original any better. It would be impossible. Here, I would like to see 2 & 3 retconned, if one had to be made, and only if PV was doing it.
If there HAS to be another RoboCop movie....it would have to be hard sci-fi. I would like to see it deal with identity and the future of personality when one can download counciousness into another form. And also address the nature of policing in the 21st century as they become more authoritarian and milltarian.
My perfect movie would see RoboCop completely destroyed in the opening scene. However, OCP techs have saved his brain algorythms, and download Murphy into a new, completely robotic body. This is much faster and more agile and does loads of extremely cool things circa 2007. But now Murphy must cope with having a completely new body.
The we find OCP are building three RoboSoldiers for the US army - supposedly. But they are actually offering them secretly to all nations, and inevitably they end up in terrorist hands. As they use the same technology as the new RoboCop, they think of him as their father.
RoboCop, ahgast at what OCP have done, destoys the entire building and everything in it (this includes him fighting various half-finished OCP prototypes ). Finally OCP is no more and all their work is destroyed forever.
The RoboSoldiers are sent to kill the President at an international conference, and RoboCop arrives and tells them to break their programming like he did and use free will to do the right thing. However, they cannot, and decide they have to kill RoboCop as well.
RoboCop fights all three ala Superman II (really huge, city smashing action), and even though it hurts him to destroy his 'offspring', he kills two of them. The last one is virtually indestructable. Robo says to him, "We belong dead," and finally sacrifices himself by hitting them both with an EMP.
Finally, a statue of Murphy (not RoboCop) is built in Detroit.
Coming next week on RoboCop: Make sure you look both ways when crossing the street
You can find this on the original Robocop 2 VHS. I like the alternative version better.
