Fun fact you forgot to include: The kid that plays Hob is the same kid that voiced Littlefoot in The Land Before Time. Yeah, he went from voicing a sweet, playful, fun loving baby dinosaur to playing a ruthless, sadistic, violent criminal kid. Quite a character switch.
Gabriel Damon is brilliant! In both roles, and it just shows how versatile he is as an actor, even at such a young age. His range between sweet and sadistic, is superb to me.
This movie is underrated and I actually like the more comedic bend to it. Plus the black guy with the glasses reminds me of a black Smithers. And of course his boss is basically Mr. Burns.
Home Alone was a good kid protecting his house, while the other was a bad kid. So it's understandable why people didn't like the kid, he wasn't suppose to be likeable.
Hob was bad but he was still interesting. He was confident, good looking, well dressed, and charismatic. Adults were afraid of him. He was like a weird anti-hero for kids who wished they commanded that level of respect. I'm guessing parents hated him because he was exactly the kind of character kids would emulate.
Robocop 2 is another entry in the long list of movies both my father and uncle made me and my cousins watch at a very inappropriate age XD. father brought me to see stuff like Robocop 2, Predator 2, Rambo 3, Total Recal, Terminator 2 at the cinema. uncle was more of a vhs fella. he often gathered all us 5 male cousins, and we watched Predator, Commando, Rambo, terminator, aliens, robocop...plus he was a huge fan of eastwood, bronson, norris, seagal. and freaking 70s italian cops movies. you know, those loved by tarantino so much. we were all between 7 and 11 years old.... what a time to be alive it was....

The unused RoboCop 2: Corporate Wars script was somewhat used in RoboCop: The Series for the pilot and also bits and pieces were used in RoboCop Alpha Commando the animated show.
I found this out a few weeks ago and began watching "The Series." While toned way down for television and some episodes that just fall flat, I actually enjoyed it for what it was and appreciate Richard Eden putting in the work.
@@chilicheesejay I've been meaning to get around to starting The Series as I have finally watched the Prime Directives four part feature length series and really enjoyed them. Peter Weller is still the best actor to don the Robocop helmet but I adored Robert John Burke in the third film as a child and I really believe Page Fletcher did an amazing job with the scripts for the four feature length episodes of Prime Directives. I have access to The Series but it comes with ads, and due to some psychological issues I've been having lately, I haven't been able to get around to watching it but I know I will some day as Robocop is my third favorite franchise of all time and I wanna see for myself what the rest of the franchise looks like as I grew up with the original three films. I just wish I could also watch the two animated series as well, just to see what they are like and have my own opinion on them but I can not find them anywhere as they are very obscure media nowadays.
Well, I loved “RoboCop 2” a lot. I thought it was awesome. The action sequences was so cool. I like a whirring sound effects where RoboCop was doing movements and walking. I liked RoboCop's body in fully armored, spray painted in blue. And I thought RoboCain was especially interesting. He had a serious armor, fullly loaded of ammunition, and very threatening. I liked the way that he interects some things, like, shooting people, getting shoot at by the Detroit Police Department, and attacking Robo. I think RoboCain was a much better interesting as an evil mechanical cyborg than ED-209. Don’t get me wrong, ED-209 was sort of a flop android, I mean it’s all right, but that’s just my only opinion. Anyway, the dialogue was probably underrated somehow, but it looks good. Now a mobster, Hob… he didn’t bother me. He does worked in this project. This movie is not as great as the original, but it is a fine truly worthy sequel. And it’s not as bad as people think it was mediocre. “RoboCop 2” is the most incredible great satisfying sequel. A marginal thumbs up for me. RoboCop 2 (1990) 3.5/4 👍👍👍
@@justinhope4126 The one liners of the Robocop films were always a highlight for me, even as a little girl. Each of the end one liners are gold to me as well but I'd rank them as follows: 1987, 3, 2. That's just my opinion, and my tier list of favorites. I very much loved the third film's end liner, I don't know why, other than maybe because the third movie was the only one I could watch as a kid due to not being afraid of it at all but that's the only reason I can think of.
@@LunoxAngel nice I actually like the 3rd one it's really comic booky directed by frank Miller so cool and besides robos voice it looks like 'Weller' enough so thats cool
Robocop have been my favorite movie since I was 7 years old but over the last 20 years I have watched Robocop II soooooo many more time than the original. 😂
I love RoboCop 2. My favorite part is when the meeting is going down and they unleash Cain on them in that warehouse thing, freaking awesome as hell. Cain was such a cool ass design too.
That is a great scene, action packed, and very horrific. That is the scene that terrified me as a kid, and it has stuck with me all these years later. It hits my heart in all the right ways a movie like Robocop is supposed to but it was just a little too intense during my childhood. I can re-watch the scene now and not feel as terrified as I did back then but I would still be scared as hell.
I think Tom Noonan's and Belinda Bauer's characters couldn't compare to those of Kurtwood Smith and Ronny Cox who were basically as prominent as Peter Weller in Robocop 1. Miguel Ferrer was also great in the first movie, the casting was superb.
I don't fully understand "copyright". Why wouldn't artists want to have their music listened to? I mean, piracy is one thing, but music within a UA-cam video? Do people think someone records the sound for later use, or what? Do album sales (if that still is a thing) go down? Does streaming of the songs go down? No.
@BloodbathMcGash I think he does. Right before Duffy gets sliced open. He tells Cain and Hobbs that they were going to throw away the key with him and that Sgt Reed gave him $#!+ they don't show or clearly state that he does. But that's just my guess off that interaction.

I agree with you Minty, the robocop suit does look more blue in this one then the original. And I loved it, made it feel like Robocop got rewarded for saving the head of OCP in the 1st movie. Also, I'd love a 10 things you didn't know about The adventures of pluto nash, or Equilibrium
A bit too blue. Considered Robocops outher armor is supposed to be made out of titanium. Titanium has a more grey tint than steel. But even steel doesn't look this blue.
I've always thought "Robocain" is literally the coolest robot in any movie. I had also kinda always wished wed see some kind of updated reboot of the robot in some way.
I had such a blast rewatching this movie a week ago. It didn't have the same sad themes like the original movie but due to how overall apeshit the plot was I just can't help but love it either way
@@wireboar7321 I did always think it was strange how Detroit went to shit after the first movie. But I guess RoboCop 2 wanted to show us what happened after the cops went on strike.
Still it has left some interesting idea´s dangling in the movie. for example it would have been interesting to see more interaction between Murphy and his wife. And Murphy's state of mind after he told her that her husband is dead.
It was already in my mind before you said it. RoboCop 2 does seem to have a blue tint to the armor / RoboCop robot suit, whereas in the first movie it did seem as though it was more gray or silver.

Minty I’m glad you found a great platform to get your own niche to. It’s hard to find a formula that UA-cam creators haven’t tried to copy so I’m glad to see you have this corner covered!
I'll admit I wasn't crazy about it when it was released, but over time I came to appreciate it a lot more. The main story and the sub-plots were very well done. Every time I watch the first one, I have to watch this one right after.
Nineteen ninety, Chubb Rock jumps up on the scene With a lean and a pocket full of green The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top But Robocop last year was a shock
Growing up I always contributed the cleaner looking city due to the Robocops effect on public moral; making them feel safer and so slowly spreading the peaceful feeling.
That is a tragic death, especially for such a young character, and it's not something movies did back then, especially in horror, even if Robocop isn't a true horror film. It was, and is to me, especially as a kid who thought the actor looked like a family member, a shock to see in the movie.
Thanks for acknowledging re uploads. It seems 3/4 of your videos are re uploads lately. It's nice to just know at the beginning vs wondering, didn't I see this from minty already? Thanks.
I loved the colour change in the suit it’s got an iridescent shine to it, oh and as for the streets looking less gritty and rundown from the original I just put that down to the streets being safer now they have had Robocop patrolling them for a couple of years..
Same here, I love the first two Robocop's. Both are still watchable today. The third is true trash and totally unwatchable. I like reboot though. I am glad it went in a different direction and brought something new to the genre.
“RoboCop 2” had some good themes but went nowhere with it. The stuff involving his wife that was left totally incomplete. I remember when it first came out, people tore into it because of this kid-assassin in the movie. I think this was during the time where news of juveniles and violent crimes were rising and leaking from urban to suburban. This was during D.A.R.E, “Just Say No” and heavy-handed “special episodes”.
The habit Hollywood has of making sequels more "kid friendly" has ruined a lot of movies. Also it is stupid since most of them were fine for kids to begin with.
1:03 They don't know Cain's age, yet he's been arrested for murder 6 times, 47 counts of disturbing the peace and he was a veteran in the amazon war. lol
I really liked the mayor in this flick...a great comedic performance. I love the scene where he's done talking to the press and is waving his hands in the air calling them off...hilarious!
Every film franchise that starts out as an 18 and ends up a PG is worse for it. Terminator is another example of this. T1 18. T2 15. T3 PG13. T4 may as well have been a U
I find myself clicking on your 10 things you didn't know about movies I've never seen. Needless to say they are very interesting and I end up watching the movies. Thanks for your hard work on making these videos MINTY.
ROBO-CAIN: I'm the new cop in town! ROBOCOP: You'll be retiring in a few minutes ED-209: You have 10 seconds to comply ROBOCOP: Haven't I retired you already?
I just happened to catch this on TV after not having seen it for probably over 20 years. I feel that people don't often understand the difference between satire and comedy, and think the two terms are interchangeable. Like how people heard that 'Scream' was a satire and went into it expecting a comedy. Part 1 was a satire, part 2 didn't understand that type of humor and instead went for goofy comedic elements and characters.
One of the directives given to the "more friendly" RoboCop was, "I will attend all Orion meetings." Also, isn't that the best use of cassette tape holders ever?
The idea of Robocop befriending an A.I. was in the Liveaction TV series which aired a couple of years after Robocop 3. Plus, the distopian Detroit city was used in the Robocop meltdown trilogy of straight to DVD movies in which Murphy's son is now a full grown adult and a board member of OCP.
I would think the blueish color of the armor was intentional, it had that iridescence more like anodized titanium than the painted silver armor in the first movie.
Hopefully you might cover the 2014 Robocop re-make, perhaps how it contrasts to the earlier movies, or whatever, but would love to see a review on the 2014 Robocop movie, your thoughts on it, etc.
My friend played the guy with the mohawk in the opening sequence. Someone spotted him and thought he had a great look and said, "ya wanna be in a movie?"
Thank you for these videos 🥳 Got a few requests: Dirty rotten scoundrels Citizens band/ “Handle with care “ ( this movie was filmed in and around marysville California, my hometown)
I preferred Robocop’s armour in the first movie it was more fitting of the dirty gritty crime infested atmosphere of Detroit City, but the problem with the sequel is the atmosphere was even more dirtier and grittier than the first movie yet Robocop’s armour looks brand new like he just stepped off the assembly line.
I remember the local $.99 movies in Bmore 8blocks from my house. Every friday or sat night we went and spent a hard earned $3 from somekind of kid hustle we did.Seeing Robocop there then seeing it on a demo copy VHS then being first on the list to see it on VHS at the video stores that lent me the demos of movies as a kid.I had a fricking awesome childhood.I lived right in the heart of my hood and it all went down 3 houses away to a city block for me.Man growing up in Canton,Baltimore during the 80’s and early 90’s was a childhood any poor city kid could wish for.LoudLove🔊🔊🔊💜💜💜
If you cut out all the cheesey bullshit and the parts with horrible dialogue, this movie is decent. A big issue I had with this film is that they changed the dark, gritty tone and layout and instead made things almost cartoonish. So much of Robocop 2 was over the top and ridiculous in an attempt to make up for the lagging plot and poor writing. The first film kept things simple but made them more interesting with better writing.
@@DialloMoore503 yeah. Some of the dark moments are good. And the character moments with Murphy are good. Because Irvin Kirschner is a great director and Peter Weller is a great actor. But the script is terrible. And the other dark moments are so over the top they stop being relatable and become outlandish and ridiculous.
Also, I just like to say; this is why I liked the tv-show back in the day. What it lacks in action of effects, (or, ok, edginess) it makes up for with good character/enviromental-development. =)
I'd like to see Minty review the Canadian miniseries "Robocop: Prime Directives." It slightly follows the outline of "Corporate Wars" where the timeline has progressed and Murphy faces personal crisises as both his former partner is sent to kill him and his son has grown up to be an OCP executive.
That series was terrible. Robocop was a lot shorter than in the movies. And walked like a wind up toy. And when he takes off his helmet, the mechinacal parts underneath don't look anything like it does in the movies.
Dear Minty, You are the man. I greatly appreciate your well-made videos as they are entertaining and educational. Here is a list of movies for you to consider for future episodes: Congo Hackers Cherry 2000 Better Off Dead Blood Sport Thank you for your consideration. Stay classy. A Fan
How about a vid about “Leap of Faith” Minty? It’s one of my favorite Steve Martin movies plus it has Liam Niesome, Meatloaf, & Debra Winger. Such a great movie.
I have read Miller's robocop 2 comic version. And even though I the second Robocop movie is not as good as Verhoeven's 1987 original. it wasn't nearly as bad as Millers comic version.
I read it too. What a mess that was. Especially visually. I just couldn't make out what the giant evil robot is supposed to look like. I just remember lots of screens on his face and that's it. The rest was just whatever drawn on the pages.
Lol... I feel you minty when you gave the comparison about Kevin from Home Alone against Hobb from Robocop 2, but people forgot that Junior from Problem Child in 1990 was really the true Child that Terrorized the masses lol.
If you slo-mo the scene where dozens of prime directives are uploaded into Robocop, you’ll see one that says: “Avoid Orion Meetings.”
🤣
Yes I saw that one lol
Nice one
Nice spot!

Scramble the best spin team we have !
Johnson is the glue that holds the whole franchise together if you ask me.
Smithers was black in the first episodes.
@@WallKenshiro Yes he was.
That's weird! I was just thinking how his armor was more blue in the sequel.
You type it. I think it......
Home Alone was a good kid protecting his house, while the other was a bad kid. So it's understandable why people didn't like the kid, he wasn't suppose to be likeable.
Hob was a terrible person and the audience is supposed to be sympathetic towards him in his death scene GTFOH!
Hob was bad but he was still interesting. He was confident, good looking, well dressed, and charismatic. Adults were afraid of him. He was like a weird anti-hero for kids who wished they commanded that level of respect. I'm guessing parents hated him because he was exactly the kind of character kids would emulate.
Robocop 2 is another entry in the long list of movies both my father and uncle made me and my cousins watch at a very inappropriate age XD.

@@wireboar7321 I did always think it was strange how Detroit went to shit after the first movie. But I guess RoboCop 2 wanted to show us what happened after the cops went on strike.
It's overrated. It's not good. I'm shocked when anyone praises this movie.
Still it has left some interesting idea´s dangling in the movie. for example it would have been interesting to see more interaction between Murphy and his wife. And Murphy's state of mind after he told her that her husband is dead.
"We're only human." One of my favorite ending sayings by the star of the movie.
With a wrench in his ear, lol. A perfect ending. How do people not get that?
@@daveb224 I wonder how they did that with the Robocop's suit being fiberglass? Maybe they used the helmet from the 1st Robocop
It was already in my mind before you said it. RoboCop 2 does seem to have a blue tint to the armor / RoboCop robot suit, whereas in the first movie it did seem as though it was more gray or silver.
I loved how Robocop 2 had that 90’s look and feel to it.
So as soon as it turned 1990 all of a sudden it had a 90s look and feel to it and not more like the years preceding it?
@@notyetskeletal4809
Yep.

Minty I’m glad you found a great platform to get your own niche to. It’s hard to find a formula that UA-cam creators haven’t tried to copy so I’m glad to see you have this corner covered!
I'll admit I wasn't crazy about it when it was released, but over time I came to appreciate it a lot more. The main story and the sub-plots were very well done. Every time I watch the first one, I have to watch this one right after.
Nineteen ninety, Chubb Rock jumps up on the scene
With a lean and a pocket full of green
The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top
But Robocop last year was a shock
Classic.
Growing up I always contributed the cleaner looking city due to the Robocops effect on public moral; making them feel safer and so slowly spreading the peaceful feeling.
I remember seeing that Smoking PSA in theatres when I was a kid
This movie freaked me out when I was a kid, with Cain becoming that machine
That was a horrific scene when his disembodied brain and eyeballs was watching the doctor holding his butchered head in her hand.
@No One's Innocent Nope thats in the thatrical release.
I always loved Hob and wanted him to live, but they did give him some redemption.
Also, his folding machine gun was dope as hell.
That is a tragic death, especially for such a young character, and it's not something movies did back then, especially in horror, even if Robocop isn't a true horror film. It was, and is to me, especially as a kid who thought the actor looked like a family member, a shock to see in the movie.
I literally just watched this movie and thought “ I wonder if Minty did a video on this?” lol
🤯
I do it the other way round I watch Minty and then I watch the film .
A re-upload? I buy that for a dollar!
Thanks for acknowledging re uploads. It seems 3/4 of your videos are re uploads lately. It's nice to just know at the beginning vs wondering, didn't I see this from minty already? Thanks.
I loved the colour change in the suit it’s got an iridescent shine to it, oh and as for the streets looking less gritty and rundown from the original I just put that down to the streets being safer now they have had Robocop patrolling them for a couple of years..
This movie scared that fuck outta me. Especially the vivisection scene.
What really got me was that Gabriel Damon (Hob) was also the voice of Littlefoot.
The original will always be the best but 2 wasn't half bad tbf I love them both but 🤫🤫we don't mention the 3rd or terrible god awful remake
What about the Canadian mini-series RoboCop: Prime Directives, or the TV series?
@@FlyboyHelosim they wasn't to bad as a kid now I just shudder when seeing them
@@FlyboyHelosim however Canada will always have a special place in my heart because of reboot
Same here, I love the first two Robocop's. Both are still watchable today. The third is true trash and totally unwatchable. I like reboot though. I am glad it went in a different direction and brought something new to the genre.
@@UndergroundMonk was going good till you mentioned the nasty lame remake aka robot husband
“RoboCop 2” had some good themes but went nowhere with it. The stuff involving his wife that was left totally incomplete.
I remember when it first came out, people tore into it because of this kid-assassin in the movie. I think this was during the time where news of juveniles and violent crimes were rising and leaking from urban to suburban. This was during D.A.R.E, “Just Say No” and heavy-handed “special episodes”.
The habit Hollywood has of making sequels more "kid friendly" has ruined a lot of movies. Also it is stupid since most of them were fine for kids to begin with.
Corporate greed ruins a lot of movies in general, but sequels more often.
Robocop 2 was always my favorite, growing up. Seeing this movie as an adult, only solidifies my love for this movie.
Damn UA-cam and its BS. Whatever happened to Fair Use?!
This is still my favorite out of the three! Fantastic job on the video!
The kid villain was one of the best parts of the movie.
That warehouse attack really shook me with its brutal, graphic violence back in the day.
It's an fantastic sequel. 😀👍
so glad you are one of the few that warn people of re-uploads.
so for that.. im wactching it allll the wayyyyyyy throughhhhh again
UA-cam forces you to pretend to like their censorship.
1:03 They don't know Cain's age, yet he's been arrested for murder 6 times, 47 counts of disturbing the peace and he was a veteran in the amazon war. lol
The best thing about Robocop 2?
It wasn't Robocop 3.
Cool video as usual Minty, love your work, could u do a video on Action Jackson
I don't know if you have covered it but: "Space Truckers"
I just saw it for the first time, crazy crazy.
I love that film. Dennis Hopper is always worth watching. No matter how stupid the film is he always gives it everything.
Great movie
Pull starting scene was the only reason to watch that. Ok movie, but that made for a great laugh.
Space Truckers is awesome.
I really liked the mayor in this flick...a great comedic performance. I love the scene where he's done talking to the press and is waving his hands in the air calling them off...hilarious!
Every film franchise that starts out as an 18 and ends up a PG is worse for it. Terminator is another example of this. T1 18. T2 15. T3 PG13. T4 may as well have been a U
I find myself clicking on your 10 things you didn't know about movies I've never seen. Needless to say they are very interesting and I end up watching the movies. Thanks for your hard work on making these videos MINTY.
“Smoking is not prohibited” ……. Didn’t think you meant that 😝
I came here to comment about this!
ROBO-CAIN: I'm the new cop in town!
ROBOCOP: You'll be retiring in a few minutes
ED-209: You have 10 seconds to comply
ROBOCOP: Haven't I retired you already?
Wait, how are you going to miss that the actor who played Hob was the voice of Little Foot in The Land Before Time?
He was also the boy on TNG whose Mother died on an away mission and some Alien pretended to be his mother.

10 Things You Didn't Know about Bounty Hunters or Bounty Hunters 2 Hardball loved both movies
I just happened to catch this on TV after not having seen it for probably over 20 years. I feel that people don't often understand the difference between satire and comedy, and think the two terms are interchangeable. Like how people heard that 'Scream' was a satire and went into it expecting a comedy. Part 1 was a satire, part 2 didn't understand that type of humor and instead went for goofy comedic elements and characters.
One of the directives given to the "more friendly" RoboCop was, "I will attend all Orion meetings."
Also, isn't that the best use of cassette tape holders ever?
The idea of Robocop befriending an A.I. was in the Liveaction TV series which aired a couple of years after Robocop 3.
Plus, the distopian Detroit city was used in the Robocop meltdown trilogy of straight to DVD movies in which Murphy's son is now a full grown adult and a board member of OCP.
In all films original colour of body armour was blue, it's stood up in the second installment because of different camera filters that they change
Top ten things you didn’t know about Lady Battle Cop! I love that movie!
I would think the blueish color of the armor was intentional, it had that iridescence more like anodized titanium than the painted silver armor in the first movie.
I think it was to reinforce the fact that the armor was, "laminated Kevlar and titanium."
I always thought it looked great.
It's blue as a reference to his police uniform lol
RoboCop: Peace Officer.
(Perps 🔥 fires at RoboCop)
RoboCop: Think it over, creep.
(RoboCop shoots Perp)
Hopefully you might cover the 2014 Robocop re-make, perhaps how it contrasts to the earlier movies, or whatever, but would love to see a review on the 2014 Robocop movie, your thoughts on it, etc.
You got your wish. 🙂
Ah Minty! UA-cam King of Re-Uploads!
It's okay, Minty. Some of us appreciate your efforts.
Once again, nice one; Minty.
80s kid here the second one is just as much a classic as the first period.
My favorite fact about Robocop 2 is the actor who played Hob Gabriel Damon voiced Nemo in Little Nemo in Slumberland
RoboCop 2 = "...Temple of Doom" (more violent than the original; also more downbeat)
Yeah watching it as a kid the scene where the Cain gang perform the awake surgery on the corrupt cop was particularly grim!
My friend played the guy with the mohawk in the opening sequence. Someone spotted him and thought he had a great look and said, "ya wanna be in a movie?"
When I was a lad. Kane used to scare the crap out of me
Big Red Monster Kane? Or Robocop 2 Cain?
@@killwalker the Robocop 2 “ cain “
I knew the Name but was unsure of the spelling they went with.
Big red monster Kane. Can’t say I know who that is
Thank you for these videos
🥳
Got a few requests:
Dirty rotten scoundrels
Citizens band/ “Handle with care “ ( this movie was filmed in and around marysville California, my hometown)
I preferred Robocop’s armour in the first movie it was more fitting of the dirty gritty crime infested atmosphere of Detroit City, but the problem with the sequel is the atmosphere was even more dirtier and grittier than the first movie yet Robocop’s armour looks brand new like he just stepped off the assembly line.
Agree but his armour was pretty much useless by the end of the first film
I remember the local $.99 movies in Bmore 8blocks from my house. Every friday or sat night we went and spent a hard earned $3 from somekind of kid hustle we did.Seeing Robocop there then seeing it on a demo copy VHS then being first on the list to see it on VHS at the video stores that lent me the demos of movies as a kid.I had a fricking awesome childhood.I lived right in the heart of my hood and it all went down 3 houses away to a city block for me.Man growing up in Canton,Baltimore during the 80’s and early 90’s was a childhood any poor city kid could wish for.LoudLove🔊🔊🔊💜💜💜
If you cut out all the cheesey bullshit and the parts with horrible dialogue, this movie is decent.
A big issue I had with this film is that they changed the dark, gritty tone and layout and instead made things almost cartoonish. So much of Robocop 2 was over the top and ridiculous in an attempt to make up for the lagging plot and poor writing. The first film kept things simple but made them more interesting with better writing.
I wholeheartedly agree
Sequel also had its dark moments. I felt Murphy’s pain.
@@DialloMoore503 yeah. Some of the dark moments are good. And the character moments with Murphy are good.
Because Irvin Kirschner is a great director and Peter Weller is a great actor.
But the script is terrible.
And the other dark moments are so over the top they stop being relatable and become outlandish and ridiculous.
Also, I just like to say; this is why I liked the tv-show back in the day. What it lacks in action of effects, (or, ok, edginess) it makes up for with good character/enviromental-development. =)
3:55 greatest sequel of all time… Cameron and T2 would like to have a word.
Another film under-appreciated in its time that has aged quite well. Though I always wished they had a title card at the start of the movie.
It's allways a grate day wen minty uplodes.
What kind of grates?
@@bigkmoviesandgames cheese always wins a grating competition in my house
@@SabretoothBarnacle
Naturally.
I'd like to see Minty review the Canadian miniseries "Robocop: Prime Directives." It slightly follows the outline of "Corporate Wars" where the timeline has progressed and Murphy faces personal crisises as both his former partner is sent to kill him and his son has grown up to be an OCP executive.
Prime Directives may utilize part of the unused story... and so does the regular TV series (at least the pilot episode anyway)
That series was terrible. Robocop was a lot shorter than in the movies. And walked like a wind up toy. And when he takes off his helmet, the mechinacal parts underneath don't look anything like it does in the movies.
@@MrPleers oh absolutely. Terrible. For a lot of reasons.
Dear Minty,
You are the man. I greatly appreciate your well-made videos as they are entertaining and educational. Here is a list of movies for you to consider for future episodes:
Congo
Hackers
Cherry 2000
Better Off Dead
Blood Sport
Thank you for your consideration. Stay classy.
A Fan
Hackers! Yes.... Blood Sport as well.
Well, he just recently got to Better Off Dead. So there's one from your list. 🙂
Naked Lunch! Now that's a flick to cover.
YT sure does get bent outta shape over "naughty naughty no no" music, don't they?
I blame Dick Jones and OCP.
Another great intro like your first Robocop video. That song is my jam. Strong
How about a vid about “Leap of Faith” Minty? It’s one of my favorite Steve Martin movies plus it has Liam Niesome, Meatloaf, & Debra Winger. Such a great movie.
Robocop - Awesome!
Robocop 2 - Not bad
Robocop 3 - Why r we still here just to suffer..
The music was rockin I think movies from this area were the best.
The music score in this movie was ok, but it couldn't hold a candle to that of the first film.
I'm surprised the series didn't come up. It had an AI in it, so that might have been a carry over.
Anotha Minty fresh re-upload... 100% free of naughty naughty music!
I have read Miller's robocop 2 comic version. And even though I the second Robocop movie is not as good as Verhoeven's 1987 original. it wasn't nearly as bad as Millers comic version.
I read it too. What a mess that was. Especially visually. I just couldn't make out what the giant evil robot is supposed to look like. I just remember lots of screens on his face and that's it. The rest was just whatever drawn on the pages.
@@chamoo232 Exactly.
Lol... I feel you minty when you gave the comparison about Kevin from Home Alone against Hobb from Robocop 2, but people forgot that Junior from Problem Child in 1990 was really the true Child that Terrorized the masses lol.
i like this one as much as the original, too bad the 90 were upon us and so was the pg13 craze
Naughty naughty no no music that's an original one Minty, I like that, LMFAO
The bad drug dealer kid is actually Review Bruh in real life.
No he’s not..
a very good sequel underrated stellar cast.
