Robocop--the half-man/half-machine future of law enforcement--returns to fight his toughest opponent yet: his replacement! Filled with "explosions and hundreds of thousands of rounds fired by automatic weapons" (Variety), Robocop 2 pits two unstoppable cyborgs against each other in a battle to the death which will leave only the strongest standing. Detroit has descended further into a state of turmoil and chaos. With the police department on strike, a new designer drug called "Nuke" is causing rampant street-wide violence. Only Robocop, the police department's top crime fighter, can stop the mayhem. But standing in his way to clean up the streets is an evil corporation that is profiting from Motor City crime. The head of the corporation has created a bigger and tougher cyborg with a deadly directive: take out Robocop. Updated with the newest technology and weaponry, and containing the brain of the madman who designed Nuke, this new cyborg isn't only more sophisticated than his predecessor...he's also psychotic and out of control! And it's going to take Robocop everything--maybe even his life--to save Detroit from complete and utter anarchy. Charged with non-stop action, this unique and exciting sequel will take you on a high octane ride you won't soon forget!
"...a bizarre mixture of violence and humor." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Great special effects!" Variety
Editor's Note
The cyborg Robocop is back to rid Detroit of the menace of a designer drug, Nuke. The company that produced him has designed another cyborg using his brain as a model. Now our hero must battle not only a maniacal drug lord but a man/machine like himself.
Plot Summary
An even darker, more violent sequel to the dark and violent original. This time around, in addition to the corporate goons who are busy exploiting the blighted city of Detroit, RoboCop must battle a psychotic drug lord known as Cain and his vicious, foul-mouthed, 12-year-old assistant. Now that his own brain has been zapped by a potent new drug known as Nuke, Cain plans to market the substance to the citizens of Detroit. The diabolical drug dealer soon proves to be not only evil, but indestructible; when RoboCop finally succeeds in killing him, Cain is resurrected as RoboCop 2 and embarks on a rampage of murder and destruction.
