Review of RoboCop 2 (1990) by Steve W — 05 Mar 2014
A solid sequel. Did it surpass or equal it's predecessor? No, but not every sequel needs to be 'Aliens'. The sequel is as loaded with the same dark satire as the original. This time the themese of privatization and political correctness are mocked but wrapped around a cop action story which pits Murphy against Cain, a Jesus obsessed psychopathic drug lord.
The highlight of this film is the finally in which Cain becomes the 'Robocop 2' of the film's title, a mechanical monstrosity, which Murphy must go head to head with to stop. The fight features great stop-motion sequences which have aged pretty well.
