When you’ve managed to catch lightning in a bottle once, with one of the most revered, beloved, exciting, brutal and iconic movies as 1987’s Robocop, how on earth do you follow it up? Well, it appears from revisiting the much maligned sequel for this retrospective, you make it louder, flashier and, well, a LOT dumber. That’s not to say that Robocop 2 is necessarily a bad movie, it’s just that it had some very broad, metallic, shoulders to follow. So, yes folk, we’re traveling back to dystopian Detroit for the sequel to Paul Verhoeven’s classic original to see what the late, great The Empire Strikes Back director, Irvin Kerschner could pull out of the bag for the much anticipated sequel. When trying to replace a director as ‘edgy’ and formidable as Verhoeven it was certainly wise to pick somebody who had, arguably, delivered THE greatest Star Wars movie ever made with ‘Empire’ but was he perhaps TOO safe a pair of hands to deliver what fans were hoping for with Robocop 2? Well, get ready to save an infant from a crazed gunman, dive head first through the glass of an armored truck, actually kids - do NOT attempt that one, and put out that damn cigarette as we’re about to find out, here on REVISITED!
