  It’s a scene from 1990’s RoboCop 2.

      No, RoboCop 2 is alright. RoboCop is probably my favorite movie. RoboCop 2 is good, not as deep, not as gratuitous, nor perfectly campy as the first but good enough for a watch. 3 is not, don’t waste your time… Even Peter Weller didn’t come back.
      The remake totally missed the mark; had some interesting ideas and callbacks to the originated but didn’t know how to capture the tone and thought of the original and took itself too seriously.

        I personally like 2 better, but you’re spot on. I would say the game on PS5 is the true RoboCop 3 lol.

        I also love that the original is a perfect chiachism: a palindrome of a film, every scene at the start as a mirror at the end.

        The new game is supposed to be good. It’s been patiently waiting on my PS5.

      Robocop 2 is the superior movie IMO. The story, action, basically everything is improved. Definitely check it out if you’re a fan of the first one.

        I don’t quite agree, RoboCop 2 lacked some of the depth of the original in my opinion and come on: can you really beat Ronny Cox and Kurtwood Smith as the villainous duo? 😉

        Having said that, RoboCop 2 is definitely still worth watching!
