robocop gets so much merchandise and supporting media - video games, figures/statues, documentaries etc... but what about an actual new film?!
 
I always remember robocop 2 in particular because I watched it as a kid, I was definitely too young to watch that film. But when I was watching it at the time, it didn't really occur to me, even though it was very violent. I think its because it had a child protagonist, that little drug king king boy haha

there were lots of other scenes with children too, like the tv store robbery with all the kids, and also when robocop stops kids playing with a fire hydrant. do you think this is merely coincidental, or did the studio know kids were watching the film?

I'm sure the 'evil studio' always wanted to market it to kids, with the toys and the later 3rd movie and TV series.
Plus maybe they thought children criminals were 'edgy' and cool.

Just finished watching it - great stuff! Us in UK get 2 disc full version unlike elsewhere where due to disc production issues it's 1 disc
 
USA release
Screambox in USA made an error in production of the USA Physical Media release
The USA release is missing extras and is only 1 disc

US distributor Screambox have now notified us that the RoboDoc US Blu-ray will remain a one-disc set, NOT a two-disc set as initially planned.
Screambox have opted for the set to be a single disc containing 4 of the 9 Special Features we supplied.
The plan was for all 9 Special Features to be included in the set (Hence the cover art stating all 9 Special Features)
This is also the case for the US Walmart Steelbook, which Screambox also manufactured. The Steelbook contains the same 4 Special features.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Meet the Makers
- Major Firepower
- Robo Cast Quotes

If you have any more questions about the US Blu-ray release, please direct them to Screambox who handle the Blu-ray production, manufacturing, listings and sales.
