Would you buy this for a dollar?
The awesome series of Robocop is now out in Blu-ray, with all three of the original films in one set. The Robocop films have a style all their own; they are profoundly 80's in style, yet still retain their own character and soul.
I watched the first film the other day for the first time in well over a decade. The murder of Alex Murphy (played wonderfully by Peter Weller) in the first film is just surprisingly disturbing stuff, even by today's standards, and helped set the tone for all of the dark humor and action to follow. Another thing to enjoy is the good old-fashioned practical effects, which includes stop frame animation in the deployment of Robocop's main mechanical adversary, the Ed-209.
The extras on the collection lay on the lean side, or even rather non-existent. It is a bit curious...
