About Robocop

Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987) disguises biting satire of Reagan-era America, corporate greed, and media manipulation inside an ultraviolent action movie about a murdered cop resurrected as a cyborg. Peter Weller's performance required him to train for months to move convincingly in a 55-pound suit that took 11 hours to apply, yet he still conveys Murphy's humanity struggling to emerge. The film's fake commercials—for the 6000 SUX car, the family board game "Nukem," and a Star Wars-parody called "Strategic Defense Peace Platform"—satirize American consumer culture with savage precision. Initially rated X for violence, RoboCop was edited eleven times before achieving an R rating, and has been recognized as one of the most intelligent science fiction films of the 1980s.

I am absolutely adoring the expanded options into sci-fi/action films! As a robot lover, you guys nailed some awesome designs in the past for The Terminator, so as soon as I had the money the shirts you guys have made for Robocop were an instant buy!
