It’s about corporations taking away people’s humanity. Note how few people in the movie have any empathy at all.

Robocop never actually escapes the control of the corporation. He’s only able to kill that guy at the end after he was fired.

It’s not a movie that demands you pick up on it’s themes. You can enjoy it as a dumb action movie where you see a cyborg shoot a guy in the dick. Or you can think about what it’s saying and get more from it.

It’s actually more consistent with the themes of Phillip K. Dick than Blade Runner was. I do like Blade Runner, but if we’re being honest, it is a little boring and only touches on PKD’s themes. One of the writers on Blade Runner wrote the script to RoboCop to get more of PKDs themes into a movie. Robocop has the PKD that Blade Runner missed . So RoboCop is a more exciting movie than Blade Runner, while having more PKD.

RoboCop gets the Dick right while shooting a guy in the dick.

Without some caveman rubbing sticks together we wouldn’t have fire. That doesn’t mean rubbing sticks together is better than a Bic lighter.

You can multitask by thinking about how quickly you would you die in a civil war fought with dragons.

Actually not too far from how they built tunnels in the 19th century.

Hmmm… water is leaking in that one, shut it down get out the shovels again and we’ll try to build better one that doesn’t leak.
