The original Frank Miller screenplays for Robocop 2 and 3 realized as a comic book. And it's at least as interesting as the films mentioned.

A very simple and short kaiju-tribute. I remember watching this cartoon as a kid, it was great.

Lame. You thought the production of Robocop 2 was a mess, right? This one uses whatever leftover scraps they had from that film, cut the budget and left everything for Fred Dekker to figure out. For some reason they decided to take off the adult stuff and make this one for families. Robocop for kids? What a silly idea - and very boring.
But that's only the beginning. They produced massive amounts of licensed games of Robocop 3, which were bigger hit than the film itself and ended up completely spoiling it. When the film was released overseas, people in America pirated it like crazy. What the heck were they even thinking? This is hilariously incompetent and stupid.

There is some huge irony in a fact that these films were almost routinely sabotaged by corporate meddling. Originally Robocop 2 was written by Frank Miller, but the story was butchered and later released as a comic book, it's great. What's left isn't half bad, but could be better. I believe Irving Kershner was a perfect choice to direct the film, he saved whatever he could within the time and budget constraints.

When it comes to cognitive psychology, this is the book you need. It took me weeks to read through this, but it's worth it. This is packed with information, zero bullshit. I think the latest version is over 600+ pages, so the thing has only gotten more dense and lengthy with time.

The story behind the troubled production is way more interesting than the actual film. Robocop remake was originally planned as a Darren Aronofsky film, but the plans were scrapped. Later another great director showed interest in producing the film but as the budget soared, the studio started meddling with the film. At the end of the day Robocop was made into a family friendly action film with little to no heart or soul. There was even a scandal when it was revealed that the director hated the film and had stated to a friend that 9/10 out of all of his ideas were scrapped by the corporate overlords and his good name was basically stamped into this travesty just for marketing purposes.
