Robocop (1987 Paul Verhoeven)

"Dead or alive your coming with me"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/
Violent, cheesy, bloody and comical. That sums up Robocop pretty well, the sheer gore is excellent it is something that film today needs more of. The satirical comedy is also awesome, the corrupt multi national evil conglomerate OCP with corrupt executives and both the satire and the blood are almost trademark of Verhoeven's scifi's Total Recall, Starship Troopers and Robocop.

The film has dated quite badly, the technology is quite obviously not that advanced however it is cheesily comical to watch, even more so when mixed with the political satire. All in all despite its ageing it is funny classic scifi, a film to be enjoyed.
7/10
