The mega corporation Omni Consumer Products is still bent on creating their pet project, Delta City, to replace the rotting city of Detroit. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of the area have no intention of abandoning their homes simply for desires of the company. To this end, OCP have decided to force them to leave by employing a ruthless mercenary army to attack and harass them. An underground resistance begins and in this fight, Robocop must decide where his loyalties lie.

Quotes

Rehab in War Room: Commander. Detroit police are out there, sir. They're fighting against us.
Paul McDaggett: So? We have a schedule to keep.
The CEO: We don't fire on police officers. You're out of line, McDaggett. I'm still in charge here. I'm pulling the plug.
Paul McDaggett: Sit down.
The CEO: What, you gone war wacky?
Paul McDaggett: [points his gun at The CEO] I said sit down.

Alternate Versions

Although less violent than the two preceeding Robocop films, the BBFC still cut 4 seconds from the UK cinema and video versions, possibly to remove a brief glimpse of nunchucks.

User Reviews

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????????

the first Robocop was amazing, Robocop 2 was a worthy sequel. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? half the cast was comedians, the acting was god awful, the script was stupid. I mean how do you go from solid R rated flicks to a PG 13? Now this film shows the fall of OCP, and many people jumping out of windows or shooting themselves. Ironically that's what anyone viewing this film would want to do. Which is why they don't have theatres on the top of buildings.

this film should be erased from history, and maybe if they make another robocop call it robocop 3 again, to help people forget about this one.

-50 out of 10
