Brilliant Documentary about an Absolute Classic

Warning: Spoilers
A brilliant compendium and documentary about one of the greatest films ever made. That sounds like hyperbole but when you learn about the sheer depth and breadth of creativity and talent that went into making the film, the toils and the struggle, you'll understand what I mean. I can't believe how they managed to get hold of virtually everyone that was involved in the film, even the actresses who played the 'models' at Bob Morton's house and the other officers at the precinct. Even the female newscaster! This is as replete as a study and love letter to a film could be. Nancy Allen still looks gorgeous and thankfully hasn't subjected herself to the awful plastic surgery that most women in Hollywood of her age seem to. Peter Weller has become notably more pretentious in his old age but at least they got him on camera. Surprised he didn't mention his PhD in art history. Oops, I just did it for him. Everyone interviewed is so funny and effusive with admiration for the film you can see how much they loved being a part of it, even after all these years. Only a shame that they couldn't get the great Rob Bottin, who designed the Robocop suit, to share his insights. Excellent documentary series.
