I always saw Robocop as a Short Circuit for adults. The fact that theses movies actually stood the test for more than a decade (in a campy sort of way) is proof positive that cheesy low-budget movie are in fact a pivotal part of American culture.

All 3 movie are loaded with future B stars like CCH Pounder (The Shield), Kurtwood Smith (That 70’s Show) and more. The main reason these movies did not completely drop the ball after the first one like most 80’s movies of this caliber is because they actually took their time instead of mindlessly pushing out sequels. Each movie was spaced 3 years apart from one another, giving them time to re-gather the cast and create better storylines and prepare for advancing technology, giving Robocop the win any day.
